Starting a thread here for people who applied for the FY 21 IWC DCO Reserve Board. I am applying for 1835.
Good luck to everyone who applied!
Good luck to everyone who applied!
My OR told me that the board convenes on 9/21.Applied 1825 myself, good luck all!!! Curious, does anyone have the official date that the board convenes for selection. I know it’s later this month, but haven’t gotten the official date.
I agree, I applied for all 3 this board, mainly because it is my last chance for DCO due to HYT and I wanted to cover all my bases. My OR told me that the board will select you for they feel you are best fit for, regardless of what your preferences are. So if you prefer to be IP and they think CW or intel is a better fit they go with the better fit. I just hope my packet shines this time. This is my first board after getting my MS in Cybersecurity last year, hoping that pushes me over the line.Good luck to you kids applying to IP. Too many applicants only select Intel or Intel/CW who would otherwise have strong qualifications for IP. Keep your options open; I initially wanted to go CW years ago, but I am much happier I ended up IP.
Some of the feedback from previous boards was that applicants' personal statements did not reflect their first designator choice. Keep that in mind. If you want to be an IP and your personal statement suggests Intel then you may want to rethink your selection order.My OR told me that the board will select you for they feel you are best fit for, regardless of what your preferences are.
Working, cleaning, working out, riding my bike, trying not to look at this thread (an email notification said someone had replied, so...I looked).I know it’s only been a couple of days since the board met, but I wish I could find out the results. Keeping myself busy at the gym and I’m school while waiting. What are all you doing to pass the time?
