November 2010 Board

[GoVols1998]

I've seen, in more than one place, that BDCP is closed to people who are graduating AFTER May 2011, and even then there aren't a heck of a lot of BDCP slots. This is what I'm applying for since I'm graduating in May 2011, and if it is in fact closed, I'm told I will just be considered for DA.

Since I'm infamous for throwing the FRAGO grenade into conversations let me just state this to everyone on this thread - Good Luck, God Bless, and I hope to see every one on the list at the end of November / early December!

Very nice, just to confirm, you can apply for a DA SNA 6 months before graduation? Thanks in advance guys. I am trying to pad my application up as much as possible.

Best Regards,
James

I asked my OR what would happen if BDCP slots were closed, and he said since I'm graduating within 1 year, I would just be considered for DA instead. My OR hasn't always had every correct answer, but from what I've heard other places, I'm inclined to believe him here. Just ask your OR if you have a similar question and hopefully you can get a more definitive answer.

Well, I'm doing it 12 months in advance, so I hope you're wrong about it being 6 months...

Ya its 12.

Applying NFO/Intel/IW

I was told by my OR that NFO has been closed.

Anyways, I'm in for this board for SNA/intel/SWO, but don't have enough time to type out my details atm; I'll try to get to that soon. Good Luck everyone (just not too much of it, I want a spot >8) )!!

Good Luck everyone (just not too much of it, I want a spot >8) ).

What a selfish bastard. I like it. At least you're honest, everyone else is thinking the same thing.

 

[that mike guy]

Haha I took that off because I didn't want the right people seeing a wrong thing I had written. However after his comment I will add it back. >8) SNEAKYFACE!!

I have not heard that and my OR told me today I was good to go for the November NFO board...hope that my OR is right in this case!

Anyone else have any info?

 

[Lucy]

Last I saw/heard is that nfo is full but taking apps. Generally means getting an alternate spot/ not going to OCS till July 2011 at the earliest. That'was how the summer board went.

 

[MGoBrew11]

Good news. Can't go until July 2011 anyways.
