So my OR let me know today that there won't be any rolling boards as previously thought, and that NFO/SNA applications will be seen in July as originally planned. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

That's the feeling I've been getting. Did he say he got an official word or what?

They'll tape you if you don't fall into the weight limit. They taped me the first time when I was 216 lbs and my BMI was 23. It's simple weigh-in, but if you don't make weight then they'll tape you to see if you fall into the BMI of 22 for Naval Officers.
I heard that was only for SWO and that they want to get the NFO/SNA applicants shipped as fast as possible. I'm assuming it's to meet the shipping goals?

Guys, I just don't simply understand this???? Why would I be pro-boarded this past week if there was no boards this month? Something tells me it would be awfully early in the selection process to even have my application get sent to Millington in the first place, if they are really waiting until July. We are all getting conflicting reports from our respective districts. Well just have to see how the next few weeks go I suppose...

Yeah I am not worrying about it....Too many conflicting reports and still a push to get applications in right now. I will believe that it isn't going to happen when my OR or processor tells me.

Even if the next board was July the application window opened up Feb 2 for that board.
Application are moved to the board status in CIRIMS once they are reviewed by NRC processors and the Program Managers and then they just wait for the board to happen.

Well, then if that's the case...there could be hundreds of thousands of applicants I then would be going up against, and there goes my chances :/

Couldn't have said it better myself!
I'm just wondering when the next official FY '14 board will be meeting (following the one in July).. Does anyone know if they typically have one in the September-November range? Because that would be my last prospective shot at applying for SNA before becoming age-critical. Any gouge on the issue would be highly appreciated! The only PDF I could find covers up to FY '13.

July is considered an FY14 board.

Yes, sir.. I figured that much already since the "FY13 Board Schedule" document floating around describes it as: picking a portion of the FY14 quota. I apologize for my poorly-worded question.
What I'm wondering is if anyone knew when the next official board would convene after the one in July, or has that document yet to be created? I figure I'm just getting ahead of myself, which is probably silly.
Also, NavyOffRec.. I'm sure you get this a lot, but I wanna take this opportunity to thank you for ALL that you do on this site. Reading your comments helps instill a great sense of clarification and hope within prospective officer candidates.

In general the months of the boards remain the same so you can do a rough estimation based on the board schedule that is currently up.

Hey guys-
So I talked to my OR today. My package got submitted back on march 18th or 19th....I still have to go to MEPS this week... He told me that I have been pro-boarded, which correct me if I'm wrong, just means it made it to a program manager and it is free of discrepancies and errors... And it's now waiting to be disseminated to the different communities (SNA/NFO/Supply) does this sound correct?
He indicated to me that the "rolling boards" are still a go. He told me its realistic to expect some sort of decision within a month. Obviously there is no guarantee on which community that would be. I don't mean to disagree with anyone or get anyone's hopes up, but this guy has yet to be wrong.. There was an 0-3 at the same table agreeing with everything that was said. I would have to think that the 0-3 at the recruiting station and the chief helping me probably have a pretty good grasp on the situation... Just my $.02
