Most dets. do end of semester reviews, it maybe at that time they will discuss it with you in a 1 on 1 scenario.
Every CoC has their own way of dealing with issues, unless it comes down from high as a directive to do on a certain date.
~~~ I.E. SFT selections will state a drop date. The CoC may know on Monday, but they are told release day is Wed. at 8 a.m. EST.
My best suggestion is to ask your cadre if this is true. For all you know those that have been told this may have translated IF into fact. IOWs the CoC said the numbers will be cut and one of the options is doing this non-tech board. In reality, that is an IF, but the shock and when heard it was converted into WILL in their mind.
~~~ Add into the equation that AFROTC is doing a VSP for the class of 14, it is easy to see why the IF was not heard as a maybe, but as a fact.
~~~~~~ No flaming me if a poster was told WILL, just saying another reason why they have heard nothing yet.
I don't know about this yr., but typically the CoC is going to have their rack and stacks sewn up before the cadets leave for winter break. It will have a small flux because they may wait to see their final gpa for fall semester when it comes down between ranking someone number 4 and someone number 6, if number 6's cgpa goes up and 4's drops.
Their paperwork has to be in with enough time to input the records/profile for the board selection. Big picture is @2300+ are boarded. That is why there is the delay of submitting and meeting the board. It will than take a few weeks for the release.
The melee from last yr. with such late results release may mean they will push it up this yr. to the time frame it was 2 yrs ago. @1st week of March release.
For those up for SFT, here is my advice. Move forward as if you are selected.
When our DS(scholarship cadet, DoDMERB Qualified) was selected he had to get a short physical just like everyone else. Some colleges have health care on campus that can do it, so look into it. They were given a very short window, he had to get 4 shot boosters done. They weren't due until July, but since SFT Max 5 and 6 are in July and Aug. he had to get them done. His college had no appointments available so he had to go off campus. It is a pain, if you don't know like we didn't know.
Had we known this we would have had him get his shots done with his doc over the winter break. That way all he would have had to do was go to his college for the check the eyes, ears, nose and throat type of physical, and sign off on his shot record.
~~~~ 2 of the shots he needed boosters for were required to live on campus as freshmen. H1N1, and Mennococcal (SP?). Tetanus was the 3rd, and I can't remember the 4th.
Hope going off topic for a second discussing the required physical prior to SfT will assist in getting your ducks in a row when it comes to the paperwork for SFT.
I also would say to the folks, think about buying a new pr. of service blues pants for them in the spring. They will give them a 2nd pr., or at least they did for our DS, but by buying new blues in piece meal, when they commission they will have a new set and can hand back the uniform they have worn for 4 yrs.
~~~ We did that for our DS. We purchased a new shirt, and pants as B'day gifts (had SFT in hand by his B'day).
~~~ We purchased his Mess Dress his 300 yr. and corframs for Xmas.
By the time he commissioned the only thing he kept was the service jacket. They do give a BAS for them, but it will never cover what they will truly need to purchase. He did go rated, so had he not, we may have switched it up regarding what we purchased.
