DS Updated
Along with a communication that was sent to my my DS from our MOC, he also was contacted by his NROTC recruiter. He was told that the board continues to meet and that he was very lucky to have had his application completed in June and ready for the 1st board. He was also told that there is a jam up with the applications that are not yet in front of the board because of the Gov shut down and that any notification may take some time. According to the recruiter the board continues to do their work.
DoDMERB is down but unless you applied to a SA and completed your medical you will not get to this point unless awarded the NROTC scholarship.
My DS also changed his No.5 school on his list prior to the shutdown, that has not been updated. Keep one thing in mind. Although you may send a change in your package you may not see this right away.
Your not asking a lot of questions, ask away there are some really great people here that want to help you and anyother candidate.
Tough time there will be many unanswered questions. Watch for any corrections or follow-ups to my response and your OP.
Hang in there and all the very best to you on your journey.
