I think in most cases, the recruiters will go as far as to tell you that your Kit made it to Millington and is waiting to be viewed by the next board. Things can change within days of a scheduled Board my recruiter tells me, often a Board can be pushed back till the next month for various reasons. Also, sometimes issues with a kit might be discovered that prevent you from being viewed at the board you were hoping to be seen at. I found that recruiters do not like to make very specific claims like "you are definitely being reviewed" because so many things can happen.

April 2010 Boards

If your kit is missing documents, or information has been omitted or entered wrong on your application your kit may get kicked back. Also, if you apply for a designator for which you lack the proper credentials or age requirements, for example requires physics or calc. In this case you might have to apply for a community that you qualify for. This may sound silly but I have seen people post all of these issues. I had a similar problem myself. My recruiter informed me that SWO-IP was closed out for the year, so I asked him if there was anything else I could apply for, he says go SWO, I say OK, two days later he's calling me "your kit got kicked back your too old for SWO."
As for the Board meeting, I would think of it in the same way you interpret weather forecasts, its never 100% certain although highly probable. At least in San Francisco, if the weather man/women says its going to be sunny tomorrow, that means there is a slight chance of rain.

I just asked my OR if he could check on the list. They have a list of everyone who's package will be seen by the selection board. Just ask him to look at the April 2010 OCS board. He/she should have access to that list.
I'm betting your recruiter's list is only a projection, they don't know who is seen until the results are out and uploaded to Otools. Although, if they really wanted to find out they could make some calls I suppose.
It's an easy way to get you off their back "I checked the 'list' you seem to be on it" or my recruiter is famous for this one "I checked with my boss and..."

Haha, thanks. Hoping the boards think the same thing.
I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Jon and I've been lurking for some time now. I felt a little superstitious about posting my stats and not getting selected... I submitted for the April Boards and I've completed MEPS, but have not done the PRT yet. Here goes nothing:
SNA/NFO
22/M
Senior, University of Michigan, BSE Aerospace Engineering, Minor in Mathematics, GPA 3.3
ASTB: 7/8/7/56
Private Pilot 70 hrs.
LOR from 2 Professors, Flight Instructor, and a Mentor
I wish everyone luck in this board and I'm hoping for the under, but guessing the results will come out this Friday or next Monday.

Superstitious is putting it lightly. I've felt the exact same way about this entire process.

Just a quick question, what does it mean to be tabled for a board? My recruiter told me that I was tabled for SWO, but I have no idea what this means.
