Yes I understand that. What I don’t understand is if it’s going to be rescheduled or just pushed to the next board date. From my understanding they always have 6 boards a year, no?

I mean sure, but that’s not a requirement. If a board is cancelled then the next board will convene on the next posted date, unless that too changes.

They don't always have 6 a year, it is more common to have about 1 per quarter, some designators are 1 per year, some might schedule 6 but only end up with 5 or 4. Dates are only placeholders and can and have been cancelled on the scheduled board date based on the schedule of the senior member or new info for the needs of the USN.

Key words in this post “Needs of the USN”.

If your looking at a career in the Navy get used to that phrase.🇺🇸⚓️😉

I spent over six years on sea duty because I didn’t want to transfer out of NASWI, the enlisted man power manager at VAQWING said do a cruise with VAQ-137 and I’ll have a shore tour at VAQ-129 when you get back. Yes I volunteered, but it was the needs of the Navy/VAQWING that kept me at NASWI. It was a really rewarding short tour as I got to be an LPO at sea as a Second Class Petty Officer, not many get that chance. Sometimes it works for sometimes it doesn’t.🇺🇸⚓️😉

This is a better explanation than mine.
