Sgetti5 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I was able to be board ready for this month, nervous as hell, but I’m hoping for the best. Age 24 Sift 40 GT 111 Pft 270 letter of rec. from Congress Rep, W4 Pilot, 2 navy pilots. moral waiver and haD PRK done to put my application in. Made a mistake when I was younger and hoping they won’t hold it against me, I rode on the back of a bus drunk and the court threw out the case. I just finished up getting my bachelors with a strong background in sciences, Never did well on standardized tests but was deans list while in school. Played D1 rugby and was a captain. My coach was the W4 pilot and advised I go for this slot, wouldn’t have tried if he didn’t bless me for it as this position is one that affects more than just myself. Good luck everyone and I hope to hear the news soon from my recruiter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmill Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I got all of y updates in and applied to my packet. Here's to hoping. I got my latest NCOER, a new DA Photo, and updated resume. Does anyone know if the board members see the changes between the original submission and the updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no interview process, this would have been helpful in my case. The handwritten essays are still a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice'sRestaurant Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Is the WOSB still meeting this week or has it been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic? *Edit: Saw Ampdddd's post prior to my original post being approved and added to this thread.

Ampdddd Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Welp. The 16-20 March board has been delayed until May 11th, or until further notice. Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbG29 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Can anyone with any inside knowledge speculate on how this might affect selection rates? I was on the civilian side of this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All boards between now and 11 May have been suspended. Suspended boards will convene in later months. So if this shut down ends next week they could reschedule to April. Of course this is wishful thinking, but false hope is still hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the civilian side of this board. I am wondering this too. Let's say the next board does in fact meet the week of May 11th: would they pile all of the March and May board applicants together, or would they have two "separate" boards for the people that applied in March and then for the people that applied in May?

I highly doubt that the civilian board process is excluded from the delay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash7051 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I know that curiosity kills, but don't spend too much time worrying about something you can't change. Its not your fault, its not their fault, everyone is being set back in one way or another. Just have to ride it out..... Also, welcome to the military, where things can go from good to bad in a second. Get use to it son....But again, there's literally nothing you can do but wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrhoodhimself07 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I am aN active duty Army recruiter. I called the Warrant Officer Recruiting CW4 and she confirmed the board has been postponed until further notice. The official Milper message was in process when I called her at 11 am this morning. It doesn’t get more inside than that. My file is in this board as well so I understand your frustration but remain patient and hopeful that the issue will be fixed soon and things back to normal. As of now all DoD travel has halted, including PCS and TDY, however we still shipped someone out to Basic yesterday. And we are processing people at the MEPS. IDK how long this will last or how much further the restrictions will go but I’m sure it is for the best. P.S. idk why it can’t be convened from a distance, it’s literally an online pocket and it’s literally 2020... but that’s just my personal view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice'sRestaurant Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I saw on Facebook that My Board File (Official) posted the new MILPER message regarding the suspended boards. Would anyone with access care to summarize the MILPER here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash7051 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 My recruiter- All boards cancelled (postponed) until May. There will be a special board to make up for it. Can't even submit packages Obviously, depends on how long this goes for. Who knows. All the recruiters are working from home now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wndrman Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 So the WOSB for 16-20 March wasn’t listed as one of the board to be postponed on the Milper message. I dislike contradicting things lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
