Next board?

[mserver]

Just curious...
I know there is going to be a mid april board for the plc program. Does anyone know the exact date? How long does it take to find out if you are selected? Is it harder to get into plc-air or plc-ground?

I'm not sure about the dates for boards, but they are dependant on your district. I think all the PLC guys from my RS (Atlanta) had to be in by mid March. Ask your OSO or somebody from your selection team, they will all know.

I found out about my selection 2 weeks after the board met. OSO said that this is standard. Don't know about the date for the next one though.

Your OSO will be the best source of information for these type of (time sensative) questions...

In my district the packets are due by next friday the 14th and the board meets on the 20th. I'm right outside of Chicago so I'm sure it is different for whatever district you are in.

The number of PLC-Air v. PLC-Ground varies from year to year depending on the needs of the Marine Corps. You can pretty much count on that when considering your career path while a Marine. If they need pilots, the number of spots go up, and vice versa. PLC is a little different because they know that they will attrite a certain percentage of candidates. They look at how many positions they predict being open and try to balance that with the number of seniors coming back/those accepting commisions/incoming juniors. I'm sure there is some high-speed formula locked up somewhere at HQMC, but that way above any of us. Again, your OSO can probably fill you in as to your chances of getting selected for whatever it is you want.
