The wait....remember it well. Try to focus somewhere else for a few days(or possibly weeks). There is time and then there's Army time
After the January 2011 boards taught me and DS a little bit about Army time we now are much more realistic about waiting. I wish I could bottle some of this hard won patience to help you all thru this, but each family and cadet must earn it for themselves.
The storm may or may not have something to do with it...the election may or may not have anything to do with it....sequester may or may not have anything to do with it....how many posts on the 2011 board were speculation?? Hang tough. The board will post results, this forum will light up and unfortunately some will re-board all year and still come up with no offer by spring. Plan ABCDEFG - stay busy and be kind to each other

Welcome to the military...HURRY UP AND WAIT.
I also agree with Ohio, the fact is the 1st board is usually where they select the fewest because they want to make sure they have the largest pool before they start writing checks.
If you look back at a yr or two ago, this board is not what SA's call the Mass Mailing. It is more like early appointments, they know no matter what a scholarship will be awarded. The curve ball is AROTC candidates list their colleges, so that is also a factor the board must acknowledge when awarding the scholarship.
