Captainstank056 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Age: 25GT: 115SIFT: 58APFT: 250LOR: O3, O5 (his recommendatiom was very strongly worded), FT. Bliss CWOB CW5Flight time: zilchPhysical: H2 Hearing exceptionEducation: 34 Credits toward Associates in General Studies (updating to 40 credits)Military: 6 years AD SGT, EIB, CIB, Unit Movement Officer qualified, Soldier of the Month, Commandants List BLC, 2x AAM, 2x ARCOM, 2x AGCM and various other cookie cutter awards NO NCOER AS OF YET STILL WITH HQDA AND WILL PROBABLY MOT MAKE IT TO UPDATESÂ I have been informed of Board Ready status. I have been very anxious awaiting this entire thing and have been reaching out to anybody and everybody about it. I fear the lack of NCOERs can hinder me (I am awaiting approval of a very strong NCOER) and my average test scores as well. I am usually a 270+ PT guy but between PCS, baby, and constant work with no PT time in the morning, Ive slipped. Would it be worth submitting an updated DA61 with a new 265 PT score? My CW5 sat on the last board and he told me it wouldnt be much unless I hit a 270+ but I havent had an opportunity to have a PT test so Im stuck at 265 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriek64 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 I was promoted to SGT on December16 and selected on July17. Did not have an ncoer and was First time selected (it was like 90% selection rate though).I emailed proponent with the very same question and they said not to worry about the lack of ncoers and submit as is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jswan89 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 This wait is driving me nuts! I'm expecting the USAREC board to convene on the 23rd. Can anyone clarify when the board is for civilians this month? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlightning54 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Im assuming it is the same date. Cut off dates for civilians were slightly different but I believe the actual board date should be the same. Â *Edit* I called my recruiter just to recheck and make sure everything was good with my packet for the board, and he said it was good to go and Ill be hearing back the week of the 7/23, so yes its the same! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainstank056 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I was promoted to SGT on December16 and selected on July17. Did not have an ncoer and was First time selected (it was like 90% selection rate though).I emailed proponent with the very same question and they said not to worry about the lack of ncoers and submit as is.I emailed HRC to expedite the ncoer and they actually came through for me but the day after the deadline for updates so I sent it in anyway and emailed Special Boards Branch. The CW5 told me it was late but he updated anyway and gave me a little sentence about the importance of being on time but all in all I think Im looking great now! But thanks for the reassurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gg23 Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Anyone know if it's possible to find out during the week of the 23rd? Or do you have to wait until the entire board finishes for an official result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitzBitz2000 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Nervous because I was told I could submit materials for the July board, but here's the kicker, it's only a partial packet. Anyone ever go (succeed) this route? Im obviously gathering/ completing the rest of the pack materials in the interim. SIFT next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainstank056 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Are you trying to apply for the board next week or the deadline next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlightning54 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Sounds like youll be submitting for the September board. July board convenes tomorrow, I doubt theyd take a packet thats not complete.

Spiffy_cup_of_coffee Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Just wait for a later date. If you havent done sift then you havent done medical. Or had a Cw review your packet. So basically you havent done anything yet. Â Wait for the next submission window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
