Any word on the Army Reserve APL Major Promotion Board?

2015-09-14T14:19:37-04:00

The Army Reserve Component APL selection board for Major convened on March 9, 2015. Last year that same board announced its results in three months, which is the normal timeframe. As I write this on September 14, 2015 HRC has still not released the board results.

Its not that I'm impatient (well, that is part of it), but there are consequences to late announcement. First and most important to me is the simple fact that resident ILE Phase 1 was offered in September, and because I was not yet "promotable" I could not register. As an old-school officer who despises DL (Distance Learning), the delay in release of board results means that I have to wait a full year to start ILE, which has an 18 month maximum for completion and only offers resident phase 1 and phase 3 (with 10 months of drill status for phase 2) once per year.

Come on HRC, we senior captains have done our part. Six months to review board is a bit much.

Sir, there is something going on at HRC, I recently checked on my list for CW3 from Feb. I was told that there was delay and it may come out in Oct...but it was also supposed to come out in Aug, and then again in Sep. Somebody's desk is piling up with stuff.

I don't know what the issues at HRC are (and won't share my inappropriate speculations), but I will point out that they finally released the COL list in June and the LTC list just recently, so the MAJ list (which depends in part on the number of MAJ-LTC promotions) should be coming soon. How soon that is is a different question...

As for the ILE, I did the DL course and taught the 2-10-2 course. 2-10-2 is definitely the way to go. Double-check with your local ILE BN, there are often more iterations of phase 1 and 3 than you might expect.
