How do we check to see if that really is the case? My recruiter is apparently not a good source of information on this topic since he told me the board is meeting on the 20th.

Your awesome Robo! I was looking for those numbers with no luck, however I think your right in saying we all shouldn't call. I'll take your word for it in this case.
Thanks!

I will come off as an ass although that is not my intention...we all just need to calm the f**k down. I know this process is exciting as I am excited to hear some news. But calling OCS help for information on a board we dont control is a little much. I agree with BleedGreen in not calling. This is the Navy if we are fortunate to be selected this wont be the only time we wait for news. Good luck to everyone if the board did or did not convene, but we all need to relax a little bit haha.:)

I'm glad to hear that my source was wrong! I didn't expect him to be, but not everyone can be right all the time. Wonder where he got his gouge....

Everyone is going to hate me for this post, but I have it on good authority that the board did NOT meet as scheduled yesterday. My source believes that it is just a delay, but will be updating me.
No hate, just... speculation = verification... said no person ever.
I will post updates if I get any.
Please don't.:eek:
From a contact at NRD who has lots of connections.
Short citcuits, disconnect!!:rolleyes:
It did convene!
Good news & good luck to all:) .

Does anyone think that age plays a big factor in the selection process? Meaning, they select the younger individuals over the boarderline applicants...

I hope not. I'm 28, but my recruiter never showed much concern, he knew I would be in before turning 29. All he's ever said is you got a strong packet and a good shot.

Wouldn't think so. Select the best leaders possible or the best potential leaders. Some times that may be an older person, other times a younger applicant may fit the bill. Lots of factors. Stay positive either way.

I cannot think of any reason why a younger applicant would be preferred (or vice versa), when both are within the acceptable age range. Consider that commercial A/L have well qualified pilots flying regularly at ages much older than active military pilots. One advantage of the upper age limit is that the pilot can enjoy a successful military career to retirement, then if desired, be at an age for a full 2nd career.;)
