Hey guys, just curious if y'all have heard when the board meet? I was told July 8th? Did anyone else hear that? Last year the threads posted said they found out 13 days later. If so, that would be tomorrow for us. Maybe??? Any words or thoughts???

I haven't heard anything. My recruiter mentioned August 1st is "selection day". Back to waiting. Have you done MEPS yet??
Selection day meaning the board will meet or results come out? Mine told me the 28th. No MEPS. I'm prior enlisted and don't have to do anything unless I'm picked up.
How about you? Did they make you do MEPS? Have you graduated yet? Prior service? :)
By selection day he meant when results would come out. He also mentioned it could be later.
I have not done MEPS. He mentioned if I got a slot then I would go to MEPS. Ill be graduating in August and plan to take boards in Sept/Oct... no prior service in the military. I did serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer as a Community Health Extension Agent for a couple of years after my first degree (Community Leadership and Development). Got back into the country May 2013 and started an Accelerated Nursing Program that fall.
Did your recruiter tell you anything about how they choose? Mine has never done it before and does not know a whole lot. Just curious if if or she have you any insight into how they narrow it down and choose.
Just said that it was a package deal. They look at your entire application packet and score it. Your resume is worth so much... your short answers... etc. The top scores get slots. Not sure how the points are divided up though. Where are you recruiting from?
It's pretty much what I figured. I'm out of Salt Lake City. I'll graduate in December and be on my way in February.
