Like @exNavyOffRec said, it’s not just the board deciding who gets in, but figuring out the logistics of classes and how people fit in.

SWO Board 22FEB21

Yeah but they’ve doubled their own time estimates for posting results. Just curious why since they’ve been doing this for so many years
Still in the middle of COVID so that can explain a lot of why it's taking longer than usual. Until we hit next year, I do not expect things to go back to a normal timeline
They used to release results and then schedule people for classes later. From what I understand, part of the doubling in time is from scheduling class dates for all of the selects before results are released.
Sounds like DoD should hire a few engineers and automate all this
Yeah I think the issue was using a new process, but still using an old time frame that no longer applies. People's expectations don't match reality.
A new process with a longer time frame doesn’t sound very efficient ?
From the perspective of those waiting on results no, but that's probably not the whole picture.

It used to be that they would release results and then placing people in classes would be behind the scenes.
Then COVID hit and then class sizes dropped, then they went up, then down, then up. They have to figure out who was pushed out and now who can be moved back up, and who can fit where from the recent boards.

I remember my recruiting good old days... when you’ll be on deck with your applicant and the applicant’s kit its all jacked (for some dumb reason). The “shark tank” be looking like the stock market... papers everywhere, ppl on the phone trying to network and make stuff happen. Then, I moved up to be the DEPCO... if the ACR or CR really wanted/needed to fill a sit, you’ll fill that sit (with ease)... Let’s just blame it on COVID-19 ?

It is wild how different enlisted recruiting is from officer recruiting, officer recruiting is more like corporate recruiting in many ways, enlisted recruiting is more like recruiting for low pay short term employees to empty port-a-potties lol
Coming from and HR guy. This is extra funny!
That should tell you why some of us got educated and wanted more. Its a whole different mindset.

When it comes to signatures, the higher the rank, the longer the wait. There are boards that have waited 3 months. But honestly, this is still a much quicker process than getting hired for janitorial positions in the federal sector.
