9,735 captains face an OSB. 699 face an eSERB YG 06,07&08. Do you think YG09,10&11 will be going through the same boards next year?

How far will HRC go with OSBs & eSERBs?

Sir,

To put it bluntly, yes, until the environment of the current administration and Congress changes within the next few years, it is only going to get worse before it gets better and settles down. The other issue is going to be the same problem that happened under Clinton, they realize after the fact the let too many or put too many people out and had to rebuild the forces again at the end of the last century and into the new millennium.

Good luck and keep the faith.

I think HSC will continue to do this until the budget is "balanced" and our numbers are at what Congress deems appropriate for our current situation.

I don't think so. YG09 and YG10 had "normal" selection rates to Captain, similar to pre-9/11 numbers. Whereas YG06-08 had record highs of 99.9% compared to the normal 90% that Title 10 requires. They started weeding out YG09-10 early. They are doing the same with YG05 who will only get one look at Major this year. I think we were the first to be "normalized". I know my Year group and branch (AMEDD, MSC) had a 72% selection rate last year....

Sean,

Yes they are going to conduct these boards every year till they get to the FY13 year group. Someone was kind enough to post a presentation that had timelines and the cut line, if I find it I will let you know. YG 09 and 10 are up next. We should be going through a board next spring.
