New AROTC Deadline

[WD1]

According to the AROTC Instagram, the new deadline is 12/2/19.

Do they really plan on the website being down for that long?

Is this fair to people who were prepared to submit their applications by 10/7/19?

Just some thoughts I had.

No.

But life, especially life in the military is not based on fairness. It is about adapting to ever-changing conditions.

DS was board ready since mid September, so, yes, this extension on the first board is disappointing. But, he's just rolling with it (although every so often I find I'm having a mini panic attack since he's applied ED to a very pricey school and it would have been awesome to know whether he had a scholarship in hand before Dec. 15).

So, what happens to the other December board? They’re going to meet only a month apart? Will they care if kids had their app in on time?

Based on what I’ve seen there are still 3 boards. One in December, one in January, and one in March.

Ideas when the board will meet and decisions posted?

They will meet in December, January and March, based on what I read on the AROTC Instagram.

No clue about decisions.

For the first couple of boards last year, the decisions came out a couple weeks after the board met.

Hopefully, the December board is early in the month so the results can post before Christmas. Trying to get anything out of the government during the holidays is tough.

Good luck to all.
