This has been discussed. If you use the search function, you can see a long discussion about what everyone's ORs and processors are telling them about the boards. You can find this in the April thread.

It all depends upon what your son is applying for and the needs of the Navy. At this moment, the majority of the selection boards are on hold for an indefinite period of time. The best advice is for him to put his package in as soon as possible so that he can have reviewed at the next board. Below is the link to another thread discussing the vagaries of the selection board process:

The issue is that OCS is a filler source for the shortcomings of the Academy and ROTC. Currently we need less officers than we projected for, so OCS selects are slowing down. These sorts of things ebb and flow.
