To quote a favorite movie of mine, sorta taking very liberal use...
"When will you make an end of it?"
"When I am finished."
The ALO is given a date that the "AF Form 4060" (USAFA CANDIDATE EVALUATION - Online Form 4060) must be submitted to USAFA. I will tell you that the date changes based upon how far along the CANDIDATE is in their completion of their work.
Currently my candidates are all "due" in Feb 2014. Why so long? Because none of my candidates has really even started their packages. And yes, they've all received "calls and e-mails" from this ALO!
As soon as they get busy...and start knocking out the forms, requirements, etc., then those dates will be pulled in. I've seen a "6 months out" date change to "due in 2 weeks" overnight because a candidate "got busy!"
And as for "after how many interviews..." I have never written a 4060 after 1 or 2 interviews...I usually meet with the candidate, and their parents, and school teachers/coaches/counselors, etc...3-6 times to really "get to know" the candidate.
Then I start writing...
