For those also applying to the January AVIATION board, what are you bringing to the fight?

So you got some game.

My recruiter yesterday said the board is definitely meeting this month... and that we'd find out hopefully not too long after... the waiting game is getting close to done! good luck to everyone!

nfo

Any nfo selects recently?

More unconfirmed rumor-mongering: My recruiter mentioned the results are supposed to be out on Monday, the 29th. I Don't know if this date is the paper-date, or the real one.

Unfortunately, it looks like my package wasn't "reviewed" before the board met, so I guess I'll get bumped to the Feb. board. Good luck to everyone else.

I put in my application for NFO to the January board so I hope you're right on the Jan. 29th date. Sorry to here you got bumped to the Feb. board. Best of luck to you!

My recruiter emailed me yesterday and said that the board was pushed back until the first week of February.

the waiting game never ends...you select, then you wait for OCS, then you wait to class up IFS, then you wait to class up API, then you wait to class up in primary...and so on. once your done with one part of training your waiting for the next phase and so on

^^^What he said. Learn to enjoy your wait time as well. I'm finding that my "long" six week wait before my OCS date is becoming increasingly short and I'm wishing I had a few more weeks to get in even better shape.

No word yet on my end . . . Anyone else recieved word?

 

[MotoZuki]

Nothing here. Getting restless. On the up side, my lease was up in Jan. and I'm living in a friend's beach condo until info comes through.... Lots of sand-running ahead.

 

[Kickflip89]

If the board did get pushed back to the 5th, then results should be posted by the 29th. With all the trouble folks have had with the new CNRC system, we might not hear anything until March. I still have school / work to keep my mind occupied, but I feel for those who have nothing to do but wait.

nfo board

anyone know the Feb date?

 

[saesae]

Heard that the board might meet on the 19th of Feb, however the 19th is a holiday, so I am guessing it may possibly be bumped to the 20th or later. Not 100% sure but this is what I was told today.
