@irish08slasher the next SWO board is 'hopefully' next month. but it could convene sooner, and it could convene later. if you feel you're prepared, I would suggest trying to take the ASTB sooner, as to ensure that you don't miss the application window (i think, typically, approx 1 month before the board date) and have to wait until the next tentatively scheduled board (which I have no idea when it may occur).
Well I don't want to rush my studies, so at worse I'll probably just go to the next one. Does anyone know how long your documents will last before you need to update them and reapply.
Well the Pilot board was supposed to be early May, and it ended up being today. Who knows? Maybe the SWO board will be earlier. If you want my advice @irish08slasher, you should take your time with your application. Study hard for the ASTB, and make sure that everything is being done right. You get 3 lifetime chances to take the ASTB, so make sure you are well prepared.
EDIT: There will always be another board =)
I appreciate the thought and you are absolutely right. It feels good to finally talk out loud and join the hopeful applicants in the long dreaded wait.
