I saw in the Military.com forums that the selections are out. There is a thread in the Commissioned Officers section of the Coast Guard forums.

I'll check the message boards when I get to work Monday for it.

Sorry, should have been more clear, I was referring to the board that convened in March.

Working on a POC now (USCG Officer Recruiter) to get the gouge on this. I have another guy in my unit that might qual for this board, I'm still working the Navy route.

Sky, thanks for the forum/thread trail I got to go on to research this. I first thought I was too old and that no waivers would be accepted. Now if I could just get an interview before yet another trip over to Iraq.
