Is there any way for us to know when the board will convene or are we just going to have results one day out of the blue?

I may have been screwed by my CoC as far as my IW board goes. They changed my 1420.1b from IW - 1640, which is how I submitted it to them, to IW - 1840... which is actually the code for CWE. I took 1640 directly from the OPNAV. Trying to get it worked out with the OCS people now, but I'm a little frustrated. Such is life!
I did write IW as well. Kind if confused why the OPNAV and checklist don't agree on designator codes? Also don't know why the CoC did what they did. Hopefully it gets worked out. They could just select me for SNA too... that would work lol.IW is 1810.. Should have just written Information Warfare.
The 16xx codes are the old OCS designator codes for IDC. A few years back they were converted to the 18xx series codes for all of IDC with the exception of the SWO-Options which are 1160x designator codes... If you wrote Information Warfare, you should be OK...I did write IW as well. Kind if confused why the OPNAV and checklist don't agree on designator codes?

That's what I get for reading the OPNAV haha. The way I put it in was IW - 1640, but Mr. Williams told me today that I was up for SNA/SNFO/CWE/Intel. We'll see what happens!The 16xx codes are the old OCS designator codes for IDC.

I hope so. I feel I have a reasonable shot at the aviation boards, but I've worked IW for my enlisted career so I was hoping to have a good chance there as well. My package does speak to IW, so it would be great if the board went in that direction. Either way, my mistake to live with and learn from.The NRC world revolves around the codes, the non AD applicants just have numbers, so that is all they look for.
The bad part is if they already burned the CD they can't change it, but if the board sees you wrote the narrative of IW you should be ok. The CWE guys will turn your application back as you don't have a tech degree and that is required.
So, BOL is back up, has a link to check selection board status but (atleast for me) the link is not working..... Im on the ship, it could be a bad connection, anyone else having that problem>
Log onto BOL, top link says (forman) aplication status...... from their it provides a link for selection boards.
Yeah, I see it and was able to initially access it, however I do not believe FORMAN is the same link that displays status of OCS boards... I've never heard of FORMAN... Google here I come...
