taylor860 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Hey guys, I was under the impression that the board was running from July 18-22 based on what the usarec website says. My recruiter just told me the board is next week, the 10-14th. Has anyone else been told this? I'm a civilian so I guess the board dates could be different. Any thoughts?

Taylor You know, I have no idea either. I asked my recruiter and he said they were being held from July 17-19th this month for Los Angeles county. I saw the same dates you saw on the USAREC website.

I asked my recruiter and he said they were being held from July 17-19th this month for Los Angeles county. I saw the same dates you saw on the USAREC website.Dukun8ter, I'm thinking your recruiter was referring to the civilian portion of the board. Although the board is all duty week, from Monday to Friday, the board typically does civilians Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and active duty the last two days. The advantage for you? As soon as the board had made a decision on your packet, your recruiter will contact you. For the active duty folks, they have to wait until a MILPER message is posted a few agonizing days later. It was so hard reading all the posts from the civilians an the last board post that they had been selected and I knew I had about 2 weeks before I would even know. As for Taylor, I wish I could tell you what he might be referring to but I was selected on the active duty side. Maybe a civilian could chime in with a better perspective? Either way, the next two weeks will be long and worrisome. I just worked out like a crazy person to keep my mind occupied on something other than the board. When I found out i was selected, it was the best feeling and totally worth the worry. Good luck both of you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 The board dates on the USAREC site are when the board is held. Unless the board date is changed they only have 1 board for civilians and active duty. Deadlines for civilian and active duty vary but the board is the same. Like it was previously stated civilians packets are reviewed first so I got my call about Tuesday when I was selected in March. Not sure why your recruiter would be saying something different.

Zac Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 As you guys know the board convenes on the 17th. As of today (the 12th) my "application is currently with Proponent and has been in this status since 06 June". When I emailed the proponent I was informed that there are no issues with the packet and that it's just waiting on a signature. I still need a moral wavier. Should I just assume I'm not getting boarded in July or is it normal to cut it this close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it hasn't gone through, doesn't mean that you can't make the July board if it is approved. My age waiver literally came in from DA G1 on the Monday the May board convened and it still made it to the May board. Every case is different, though. I didn't know I for sure made the May board until the MILPER message was posted and my name was listed as Fq-s. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubicle2Cockpit Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 For you civilians guys, If you know that you have been selected this early in the week does that mean that Rucker has already given you the approval? I was under the impression that the battalion board meets during the week posted on the usarec website, interviews you, gives you the yes, sends their recommendation to Rucker, then Rucker decides if you're selected. Or am I just all wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
