No problem. I knew instantly what your problem was, since I had the same one the first time I went looking for information. I was this close to calling JAX. Time to change your handle to foundbeans.

Anyone else still "Under Completeness Review" for Army JAG March board?

Affirmative.

They must be saving the best for last.

I check my application almost daily in hopes to see a change in status. It's nice to know others are waiting as well, although hopefully not as obsessive.

I think they must be reviewing them in the order they received them. I know someone else on this board sent the app off the last week of Feb and was "Pending Board Decision" late last week. I sent mine on March 1st.

But I really prefer the "saving the best for last" explanation. *crosses fingers*

Mine still says "Under Completeness Review". My November app is listed and says "Pending Board Decision" so I'd guess that unless you're selected, that's the final application status you'll receive. I also sent mine on March 1st.

Yeah. My 1L internship status (from 2 years ago) is still "Pending Board Decision" and I was accepted.

I was thinking of calling the office and making sure everything is okay, but now I'll wait since there are many still "Under Completeness Review."

[Esquire]

If you look back at my old posts, you can see I was still Under Completeness Review weeks after most were Pending Board Decision. I was a primary select. So you're in good company!

That's good news indeed. Thanks!

New to this. I browsed through the first several pages of this thread but couldn't find any specific information on this.

Basically, I'm a 0L, headed to a T10 in the fall and strongly considering the JAG Corps + LRAP. What's the best way to get started and set myself up for getting in?

Also, at one point do I need to able to pass the PT tests?

Thanks!

Not a JAG, but I can assure you that, yes, at some point you will need to pass the PT test, and be able to pass it on a regular basis.

I figured as much, but do I need to whip myself into shape quickly or do I have until after 3L?

I'm also pending board decision but honestly I don't think we'll hear back until early May

I know the Navy JAG website states that you are not able to make changes once you submit the application. However, when you go into the application it LOOKS like you can make & submit changes. I haven't tried to do anything, just wondering if anyone has tried to make updates after submission, and whether or not it worked. I noticed a mistake on the application and would like to correct it, if possible, before the deadline tomorrow.
Thanks!

Unless they have changed it since the last application cycle, you will not be able to make changes. The issue will arise when you try to submit the application, you will receive an error message. Depending on the magnitude of the error, you can get in touch with the JAG accessions officer and explain. She may be able to make the correction for you.

Thanks so much! That does make sense. Since it allowed me to upload a new picture and delete the old one, I had hoped it would let me do the same for the application. Hopefully, they haven't printed out all the documents for the file yet!

The error really isn't a big deal, and I'm inclined to just let it be. Thanks again!

I hope not. I know last year the results came out in early April. The November board takes over two months because of two major holidays.

For those of you interested. I just found this out regarding Air Force DAP Boards:

"The Air Force recently streamlined its board process by reducing the number of annual Direct Appointment Program (DAP) boards from six to three taking place in October, December, and April. Therefore, the June and August 2011 DAP Boards are cancelled, and the next DAP board will be in October 2011.

"Due to the new board schedule, the next DAP board will be in October 2011. Interviews for the October DAP should ideally be completed between 1 August and 15 September 2011. The ROTC board for the Education Delay, Graduate Law Program, and One Year College Program, will be held in February 2012. The Funded Legal Education Program and Excess Leave Program for current Air Force officers will be held in March 2012. Please check this site for any updates regarding the October 2011 DAP Board. You may also call 1-800-JAG-USAF to speak with a JAG Recruiter."

Was in the JAG Corps in the Army (not an attorney). The PT test is easy and no I'm not some super stud but seriously I only knew 3 Army JAG (officer and enlisted) over 4 1/2yrs who had ever failed a test. if you exercise semi-regular you will have no trouble.

Have you tried the new PT test yet?

Well that makes me feel better about missing the Feb board.

I doubt many alternates for the Army March board will make it through now. There is just nowhere to go.

[kman999]

Just went to "Pending Board Decision" today for Army 1L internship.

Selected as an alternate for Navy, but I think we were supposed to hear by today for Navy alternates. I was amazed Navy only gave a few days for the accepted interns to decide.

Are we supposed to hear back from them today? I dont think we will expect them to send out alternate offers that soon. i suspect it will monday at the earliest. but im merely speculating.
