I was told over the past few months was that the Jan board would be focusing on applicants w/ government contracting experience. Although my understanding is that 20-30 would be chosen, I do not know how many people applied. One can only imagine that there were quite a few.
Being shelved or tabled is not the same as being rejected. I am happy not to be rejected!, but really wanted to move forward now. 6 months will be here before I / we know it. I have been told that there will be many more spots available in July, but there are so many variables that can, and probably will, change between now and then.
Best wishes to all. Hopefully I'll be saluting the selected in 6 months
