In past years they don't look at selecting people for the next FY until April, but that really depends on how many they have waiting that are being pushed into the next FY, I have seen designators shut down for months or years (IP).

Thanks for the info. I guess there is no use getting upset about something I can't control.

I was told that if you list 1. Intel, 2. SWO, for example, that SWO wouldn't see your application until an intel board has met and made a decision on it. Two things to note about that: 1. The person who told me that is clearly trying to get me to apply SWO #1 (i.e. don't put intel #1 because it's really full and if they don't have a board then you'll never apply for anything for a long time), and 2. Apparently, SWO doesn't look at any applications now that don't put SWO #1 anyway. Since it was your fourth choice, I doubt it's a big deal to you, but that's what they say around here.

Good luck. Your stuff looks good to me compared to what I've seen around here but I'm not a recruiter so I'll leave that to people who would know.

Thanks! I didn't realize that SWO and Intel Boards would be so far apart. I'm pretty much just looking to get my foot in the door. I would take just about any position to get. I'm just hoping my civilian status doesn't hurt me compared to the rest of the applicants.

No problem, but to clarify, I don't know anything. Especially not when the boards will actually take place. That's just what my recruiter told me about the order of applying.

i really hope the next board for SWO is mid-to late march because i meet with my C.O march 11th and my package will be sent out that day.

Well, i was expecting the board to be march/april ish. But My CO called me yesterday and said that i will be driving a boat(Picked up for SWO). I turned in my package January 14th and Active Duty. So who knows what's what.

[Givemeinfo]

My OR has no information on selectees for SWO

 

[Mr Spenz]

Isn't SWO closed for the FY?

Probably, I just texted my OR and asked since hehateme was told my his CO that he made it

 

[hehateme]

I havent been to work yet, but i will check my email just to make sure everything is official or my CO read something wrong. Well, Im active duty, maybe that the difference?

The board decides everyone's fate at the same time. My OR did say she received a note saying that the quality criteria has been met, which just states the OAR and GPAs desired, as well as the need for a n3m letter. Really I don't know anything other than that. Maybe one of the ORs on here knows more.
