DCO Intel Community Gouge (Bonus: "The Long Blue Wait" in FY09)

[dephyler]

My board was originally set for Nov-07 but was postponed until mid Dec-07 for the same reason. It happens, and sucks, but it's a great exercise in patience!

Are you getting said doctorate in the US or abroad?

U.S.

There are almost no Americans who attempt the degree. My guess is that there are maybe a dozen in top US finance programs.

Interviewed in early FEB. Should we start expecting something, be it positive or negative? I've heard nothing, either by phone or by mail.

Have been lost in my work and decided to check up on where the process stood.

Congratulations to all selectees and best of luck to those waiting.

Question

Everyone,

I have a question. After candidates submit their applications to a given DCO selection board, where does the actual board meet? Take ladysailor and me for instance. Ladysailor and I both submitted packages for the February selection board for intel. However, I'm in North Georgia while she's somewhere in Virginia. So, I'm wondering whether our packages go to the same place and are judged by one big board, or what?

Thanks,
xodec20

 

[bubblehead]

From what I know, they all end up in the same place and are all judged by the same Intel board (that is, everyone is competing). I'm not sure in what city/state they meet.

 

[xodec20]

Thanks for the insight. And, to all the other air-warriors out there, if you know more on where boards meet, please let bubblehead and me know.

 

[getawaydriver]

Aye aye. No news is good news.

 

[knobbzy]

I believe it is all done in Millington, TN.

Your local NOSC and NIRR XO decides who to forward down for review.

hth,

[bucki4lyfe]

N got it right. They all meet at the same place but the board also is limited to the number of slots your local unit has available. If North Georgia is a hoppin' place for openings then you may have a better shot than the applicant in the DC who has to compete with every uberqualified candidate around.

Just a thought.
