I haven’t heard either and it’s making me so anxious! I texted my recruiter yesterday and haven’t gotten a response yet.

I messaged my recruiter again and she said she still hasn't heard anything back. Anyone know where else I can go to find a reply if not straight from my OR?

Yes, tell her lazy ass to sign in pride mod and take a screenshot of your profile and submission status and send it to you.

Anyone know the deadline of the next board? I know it’s in March but I don’t know the exact date. Going to try to resubmit and maybe to some other boards too.

Hi everyone I have been lurking here for a couple days.
Result: PROREC - Y
Board: SWO Only
Active Duty: 7 Years
Rate: DC1
OAR: 41
Degree / GPA: BS Criminal Justice - 2.66 / M.B.A - 3.33
IAS: 0-5/0-5/0-5 (All from SWO's)
LOR: 0-5/0-5/0-4/0-4/0-4 (Pilot, SWO Commanding Officer of a Ship, SWO, Psych Doctor, Supply Officer)
Ship Date: Probably September 6th
As you can see my scores were not the greatest but I networked and got all of my IAS from SWO Officer's and went above and beyond on the LOR. This was advice I got and seemed to work. I hope this information can help someone.
If you got selected see you in the Wardroom soon, if not 'Persistence' is key.

When stats have been pulled before historically the best shot at being picked up is the 1st attempt if no changes are to be made to GPA or ASTB, now if a designator normally selects 50% then it drops down for a few boards to 25% it is worth trying again in hopes it goes back to normal selection rate. The board really doesn't care how often a person applies, they just care about who they see as best qualified.

If they would ever do that it would be a disservice to the candidate, the SWO board isn't going to know what the IWC board is looking for, that is why they evaluate the application for their designator.
Me either. My CoC is terrible so I dont doubt they just have "forgot to tell me".
OAR: 58
DLB:147
GPA 3.8 Foreign Language/area studies

No prior service and SWO was my second choice. My whole application was geared toward INTEL which I wasn’t selected for. ??♀️

So I was encouraged to apply to another SWO board after I get my master's finished in May. Looking at the schedule posted a couple pages back, I don't see another board convene until August (sans the one here in April and a SWO-EDO board). Am I seeing this correctly?
Why did you take a DLAB with no prior service? Were you on the December IWC board?
I don’t think this is the updated board schedule since the upcoming IWC date says March 2, but it’s actually now at the end of March.
