Thank you for the quick reply. For the first board (November) when do they normally notify recipients?It has varied in the past, but normally November and February -- although it has shifted at times and can vary with district.
Thank you - take care!Around Christmas (give or take)

Here's a little secret about the board dates.....A marine recruiter called my parents yesterday, asking if I was interested in enlisting. While they informed him that I was planning on doing NROTC, they asked if I was going to the board that was this weekend. Leads me to believe there is a marine option review board this weekend? I assume there are different boards for the Navy option though.
That would make sense (about coming in 3rd). My DS talked to his recruiter and he said that the OSO told him (the recruiter) that my DS is competitive for the 2nd board. Does the recruiter need to do anything on his end or does my DS's file sit where it is at until spring board to be looked at again?DaGrubs: if your DS wasn't told he's done, finished, consider PLC or the like, then its fair to assume he will roll over to the next board. If I was to guess, the OSO got two scholarships in his candidate pool out of the first board and your DS was #3. He is "alive" in this process until told he isn't.
That is what we are telling him, that he just needs to keep doing what he is doing and try and have a fun senior year. Of course, knowing that as an adult is easier than being told that as a 17 year oldI don't know all the intricacies behind the curtain but essentially their is nothing for your DS or his recruiter to do. It will roll over to the next board. Please note that this process can stretch all the way out to May. Your DS has to hang in there and focus on the things he can control (not those he can't).
My DS heard back from his recruiter and he told him that he will have to redo the PFT for 2nd MO board.

Not sure if it is a new procedure, or someone not familiar with how the process works. In either case, my DS needs to stay on top of his PFT stats anywayDaGrubs: I have never heard of that before. Could be a new procedure?
