October 09 Boards

[invertedflyer]

I've seen results back from the board in a few days, and others take 1-2 weeks. I don't think that 2-3 weeks is the case despite the military being all about "hurry up and wait". Hopefully its closer to a week for your my sake and everybody else who applied.

awesome, appreciate the help. good luck!

Alright gentlemen (and ladies of course), the boards are meeting today and the next few days. So good luck! Im sure whoever-you-pray-to's inbox is overloaded with our requests for pro-recs. I'm hoping to get SWO (my only community). Let's hope we hear some good news within the next few days.

Passed MEPs

Duke thank you for your advice! Today my goal was to be Mr. Grey and not stand out during the ortho exam, it worked, anyways MEPs was long and I had to get an xray, which added a couple hours, but everything came back fine and I passed. Now I just have to wait for board results. Oh and BTP was there a place I was suppose to post an intro on the forum, or are you just curious?

I think it's more of an unwritten rule that if you're going to boards you let the other members of AW know your stats: Age, ASTB score, GPA (major optional), what type of program you're hoping to get into, etc., etc. Basically, it's your qualifications in a nutshell. If you look at some earlier posts on this page you'll see a ton.

Bottom line, we'd just like to know more about you.

hope this helps.

Hey Grizzly,

zbeasley pretty much summed it up. I was just curious, and I'm sure other people were too. Congrats on passing MEPS, and good luck at the boards.

No this is actually my first try. Hopefully it will be the only one I will have to wait on. Good luck to you too.

I have a friend who is going to finish her criminal justice degree in December and is planning to put together an OCS package. Does anyone have any advice on things she should have in her package that will make it stronger or just any real advice for her before she enters into this long process.
thanks.

strong package man... especially since the awards window of your DD-214 is going to be full of at least 10 or 11 given your deployments I'm sure. I guess I'm not the only leatherneck putting up a package Good luck brother.

@ Grizzly - You're stats are actually pretty good in my opinion, and your medical is good to go so hey, just a matter of time.

 

[SDPilot6]

Does anyone know, or can even take a guess, how many pilot slots are open for how many people? Does anyone have statistics from around this time in '08?

Be patient and be proactive.
