May-Ish 2015 SWO Rolling Board Thread

[USSMaximus]

Haha, that was awesome! Actually, 90 days puts it at May 23rd. Boards usually happen on Mondays, and that Monday is the 25th.

Irish........

What if?

Just kidding

Impossible, but only due to the small detail that the singular form for small cubes used in games of chance is "die."

Hahaha, this has been great to read! @USSMaximus I would still lean towards @irish08slasher predictions, the 25th is Memorial Day, making the 26th the first work day that week. Hey, maybe after a nice long weekend the hands that roll the die will be a little more accepting? All jokes aside, thanks @USSMaximus for keeping this thread going! It's really helping kill the boredom of the "hurry up and wait" game.

I am a Business Analyst... strangely, The longer I wait for this board, the more I hate my Job. I found out that I am not cut out for Corporate America. Need some adventure in my life.

 

[USSMaximus]

Haha, thank you @Xanthus. That would be so perfect if it was the 26th! The waiting game isn't fun, but I hope it will pay off for all of us.

The rumor right now is that there is going to be a SNA/SNFO board June 1st (just a rumor). Could you imagine if there were two of those boards before this one?

Perhaps they'll have the SWO board before that day!!! Also, @USSMaximus where did you hear the rumor? OR?

 

[USSMaximus]

I really hope so! I am just worried because they haven't announced it yet. They usually always announce the date in advance. Haha, I just saw in their thread. I read everything.

Is it possible that they are waiting for the number of academy graduates this summer to determine numbers? They graduate right at the end of May. That way, they would see the amount of academy students graduating, and then determine how many OCS applicants they need. That could also make sense as to why our board is tentative to be around the last week of May/early June.

@RUFiO181, @NavyOffRec?

@RUFiO181, @NavyOffRec?

nope, they have known for a while with a pretty good degree of certainty how many of each designator is coming from what source.

and..... those guys are FY 15 accessions, the next board is probably all going to be FY 16 accessions

 

[USSMaximus]

All good news. Thank you for clarifying!

Text from my OR this morning said, "Your kits is at board. Pilot/SWO/NFO."

Can anyone else corroborate?

 

[DJKinsella89]

Last I heard from my OR, he said my kit was in Tennessee (is that where the boards are held?). Do you think "at board" mean sitting and ready to be reviewed whenever the boards are meeting or do you think it means currently being reviewed and you'll be hearing in the next couple days if you've been selected?

 

[haimehhh]

He could possibly mean that your packet is "pro board," which just means it has passed final inspection and is waiting for the next board to convene. Or at least that's my understanding. I don't think it means the board is currently meeting.

This is from the SNA board thread and seems like a reasonable explanation. My OR has made previous blanket statements that aren't exactly accurate because they're so general. Could chalk this up as one of those. Sorry for the false alarm.
