If that was truly the case then yes that is what they would do, they did that last December.
It isn't, FY 15 applicants have or are about to graduate OCS, people selected last December are some of those that are considered FY 15

Trying to apply for the December board. Going to be cutting it close. Might have to wait till March. I've had a bunch of setbacks with paperwork because I have asthma. Anyone run into this nightmare? I feel like I might not get accepted because of the skepticism I'm getting from this whole process.

I believe the only ones they picked last December were IW and only those who were AD were selected.

This is the most depressing Friday since last Friday.

Quick question: Does everyone applying for September Board undergo a Security Clearance Background check (Priors and Civilians)?
Case and Point, I had my Security Clearance check done over 2 months ago by a Contractor employed by the US Government through USIS website. I figured all was well and done, however, I did find it interesting that most of the references and contacts I listed were merely interviewed over the phone and not in person. Although, I assumed that it was simply due to me being a law-abiding citizen and overall good guy. Unfortunately, the actual FBI contacted me late last week and stated that the government has terminated their contract with the company that did my background check, since they streamlined the process. I met with the gentleman a few days ago and received texts today from contacts stating that he or she just met for an interview with the FBI. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this set-back in the past couple weeks. I was curious if the Security Clearance had to be completed before the Board selects? If so, perhaps this dilemma could be a factor in contributing to the delinquency of the results, just a thought...

Worst part for the applicant if this were the case is that it would mean a reconsideration letter and a significant improvement in their application to be able to reapply inside of a six month window after receipt of non select status. Aka a royal pain in the a$$.

I said earlier that INTEL has become an accession program for naval aviation. I'm an IS1 my last 3 DIVOs were dropped from flight school and then given Intel. This is where all the quotas for intel officers go.

I would have to agree that the opposite of what you said is true (although I understand what you meant). Aviation is a recruiting mechanism for Intel. This is how the quotas fill w/o a board.

They pretty much stopped that program, starting several years ago most who drop out of flight school go home, we would get several drops who attempted to redesignate and all said just a few were given that option.

That is not good news for those wanting to go IDC, before that is what really sunk peoples chances, the guys that we had at our NRD before they were discharged only had 1 or 2 in their group applying for redesignation actually get it, and that wasn't necessarily IDC
