Hello everyone! Wanted to start the thread for the next IWC board (NRC Application Due date: 08OCT21 for the IWC Proboard, with a convene date of 29NOV21). Not sure what the FY22 quotas are but that's what will be the board's focus.
was hoping to get on the last IWO proboard in June but I heard that a lot of people's packages didn't get looked at and they weren't taking any new packages. Hopefully, this board goes a bit smoother! I'll post my stats below and update anything that changes. Feels a bit weird cus I'm not really sure if I'm put up against the AD people or the civilian people or even a group of people who followed the same path I did (got out at 4 and did college full time). In any case, good luck to everyone applying!
