I talked to my OSO this afternoon (Tuesday, December 10th) and he said that the board was still meeting. I thought it was usually a one day board but apparently according to my OSO "they haven't gotten very far" which sounds like they will be meeting Wednesday as well. Has anyone else on the East coast heard anything??

I havent heard anything officially, but I am doing my pre-ship PFT on Saturday so they must be really close.

Nothing yet. Last year I was told it took about a week for them to notify the OSOs. I know they want to get official orders to candidates 30 days, at least, prior to the class date. That would give a date of the December 20th as the "final" date for the official letters to get to applicants.

I have my results back, a 260 pft is not good enough, the major on the board said not competitive enough. My package was "excellent" as my OSO and his staff said. They were shocked just like I am. I have no waivers and I graduated from a Military School. I guess anybody that has less then my pft I guess you have no chance. Good luck to everyone else, my job now is to find out what to do with my life. Good luck once again to everyone that is applying.

Don't give up on it yet ElCid. There is always June and beyond. I ve had to wait over a year and a half just to go before the board. Did you apply from the East coast or west coast?

 

[ElCid 2001]

I applied from the east coast, and this is year number 2 for me. I have been applying since march of 2000. Well enough about me. This tread is for guys that are going to 182, don't want to be selfish, just shocked thats all.

[ElCid 2001]

Run time: 22:10, not bad considering that i did it in new york at night.

 

[ryguy]

ElCid when did you hear? Did your OSO call you or what???

 

[ryguy]

Well I am sorry to hear that ElCid...Looks like I am S.O.L. as my PFT was lower than yours. Well I am with everyone else on this message board you got to keep charging and improving and you WILL be a Marine Officer. Good luck to you whatever you decide.

 

[davidsin]

Same here mine is 259 and I'm still shooting for june. I didn't go before the board yet though, but at least i know to up the anti.

I wasn't happy with the answer that I got from the OSO, he called me about 10:30 a.m. I called the gunny bugged the hell out of him to find out what happened, well this is what I got, I am sure this will make everybody on the board a bit relieved. The reason why they didn't submit my package (It seems my book and a whole host of books are still in district in the east, which means they haven't even submitted them to the board) is because my dental was finished. Thats it no more or less. I knew that a pft score wasn't the only thing they look at. Well I am heading to talk to the OSO face to face to get some more answers and find out when these books are being sent up. I guess 183 for me. I hope this helps to calm peoples fears and anxiety attacks that are happening right now. Good luck to eveyone.

 

[JF]

Heck, I hope mine isn't sitting in district too. I was told it was all complete.

Did you mean your dental "wasn't finished"? I don't remember having to do or fill out anything related to dental stuff.
