SWO Board 20 April

[EO87]

Its a blessing for some. I'm supposed to transfer back to Virginia from Hawaii and being in a state of uncertainty is really frustrating.

I've heard that SWO typically meets in person for their selection boards. If that is the case, I am betting that these rumors of the postponement are accurate.

The entire navy normally works in person. Doesn’t mean that can change in wake with everything going on.

They all used to meet in person, however as technology has become better more and more boards moved to remote, the active ones I knew of that still met in person were SWO and aviation, given that NRC does everything for the other boards that meet remote it isn't that much effort to have the others meet remote.

I know some of you have received word the board has been canceled but my recruiter did not hear anything as of end of Friday. I don't think the board would announce they canceled on the day it was supposed to be held.... just my guess

My recruiter did not hear anything about cancellation either, but you know sometimes information doesn't reach till later so, But anyways we will all see soon.

Good luck to everyone.

For what it’s worth (not much more than speculation) there wasn’t an At-board list posted.

Here's to hoping that this board isn't cancelled or postponed.

Given the info that was put out about how they had over-selected in the past few boards this doesn't surprise me, it suck for those waiting, at least the break between boards isn't years like it was before.

 

[Goat_class125]

Years!?! Lol wow yeah thank god.

Now the question becomes how brutal the August board is.

Now the question becomes how brutal the August board is.

Id imagine not that bad because they are going to need people. But i could be wrong.

I was waiting on this board because I am currently dual processing. I talked to my recruiter and he said there was a possibility I could still be selected after I ship out on June 16th. This has all been very stressful and I wish you guys all the best.

Your ship date has to be rolled back
