That is a little unclear. The December dashboard had a footnote that said kits received by NRC prior to 1 Nov would go to board and be processed even if the designator was marked "red" for closed out. Otherwise, the key for "red" designators on the right of the dashboard clearly says "Designator is closed. Applicants will be pushed to next FY." Out of the IWC, the only two marked red are Intel and Oceano.
Caveat: I do not work for NRC or any part of any command related to OCS or selecting candidates.
My interpretation as a YN is that they were saying that the Sep-Oct-Nov (aka Q1 FY21) was going to be the only board for FY21 for the designators they marked red as of 1 December. The fully inclusive list as of then was SWO, SWO EDO, SWO IP, SWO OCEANO, SPECWAR, EOD, PILOT, OCEANO, INTEL, and CEC DA from the GENOFF section (normal OCS accession).
My interpretation was that they had a certain number of minimum seats they needed to fill for the year and they were going to aim for that with the Q1 board, but otherwise for those designators they were going to shut them off. That can be due to an enormous number of reasons that we are never going to know.
Therefore, I am not sure there will even be an March 1830 board. Rather, I think there will only be an 1810 and 1820 selection board and anyone that applied to 1800 or 1830 will get automatically pushed to the Q1 FY22 board. This is my opinion based on the way things are normally written and the wording on the dashboards.
However, as I said, I do NOT work at NRC or any related element or command. I am making suppositions based on my experience as a YN.
