Just wondering if NROTC Boards/Acceptance still on schedule with all the changes since Coronavirus? I believe one more board in March and 2 more in April correct?
 
I'm in the dark on this one. Sorry. A board was supposed to have convened today, but since all DOD travel has been suspended thru May 11th, it's unlikely that it's happening.

Last year, NSTC conducted a pilot 'virtual board' - the TDY costs to Pensacola, FL for 12 boards adds up quickly and this was one possible option to help reduce those costs. Board members reviewed records from their work office vice travelling to Pensacola, FL with a conference call to begin the week and a conference call to brief the records at the end of the week. The pilot was conducted using applications from a prior year and the results of the virtual board were compared to that of the actual board. Similar board results (as I recall, a few additional applicants were actually 'selected' via the virtual board).

I bring it up as a solution NSTC might be considering because of COVID. Total speculation on my part.
 
GoDores, sounds like that would be the perfect answer. I am hoping the wait for my DS (and me! Lol) will be over one way or another soon. If you hear anything, please post. Thanks for all of your helpful info!
