My recruiter said i should be up for march as well. He also said that you can only apply twice to the boards. Can anyone confirm/refute this? This is my second try.

You can apply as many times as you'd like until you age out. Just have to wait the 6-months between application if nothing 'significantly' changes in your application.

Good luck at the boards!
