I thought they almost never have a Dec board...
Well then that's that. Also, people applying straight OCS that aren't BDCP...are they considered DCO even if it is for pilot or nfo? I heard after the next boards they will be doing away with that and only doing BDCP.
Meaning (since there is no Dec. board) that the January '09 board is the last for people wanting to go to OCS that are not BDCP.

You or your recruiter are mistaken or misinformed and confusing terms. Propably your recruiter is not too swift and does not understand things herself. She has confused Reserve programs with active duty or you misunderstood something.
The selection rates for Direct accession (OCS) will not change. Many DCO reserve officer selections will close out after one selection board because they basically accept as many as they need for the upcoming year from a very large pool of applicants. For instance there will be no DCO Reserve SUPPLY board this year because they selected all they needed last year for this year. Too involved for me to carry on about.
That being said someone stated the DEC Boards for OCS are canx that is true many of them will be put off till Jan but there are a few that will meet during december. SWO PILOT NFO will not meet.

they do it every year no big deal and no there wil not have more people at the board. BUTTTT that 50 thing at the board was suppose to end in DEC as it was only and experiment. HOpefully it failed and there will be 100 at the board. you must remeber if they put more up and select same number the selection rate goes down. That is not the goal the goal is to have selection rate increase and they can do this by reducing the amount of applications considered at each board thus the 50 to board rule was put in place.now for the last three months they have averaged about a 50% selection rate that will boost the annual rate to above the norm of 18%. should they choose to keep this policy the selection rates will sky to never hit highs. I am not sure what number they want advertise but you can be sure what every number is set they can achieve it easily by limiting the number of kit at board each month.
I hope this makes sense to you. Simple math

50 is an arbitrary number, we don't know the actual numbers and so far I have only heard of NFO applicants getting tabled: that is another reason why yesterday I asked if anyone submitted by October 31st and did not make the November boards.
They are cancelled because of the holidays directly after; as Goob83 said (an OR) most are cancelled, according to another OR (aemartin on NavyOCS.com): the CEC boards will still meet in December. Aemartin also stated that in order to be seen for the January boards, you must have your package submitted by December 15th.
