Been several years since I've posted here and I lost my original account.
This is my 11th consecutive year up for board. Next week also marks 18 years of service. I just wanted to impart some wisdom.
Get off the computer, especially social media. The board has adjourned and nothing will change the results. Go enjoy your family. The school year is fast approaching and you won't have much more time to enjoy the kids.
Don't live your summers each year with results in mind. Make your family vacation plans and live your life. It's easy to cancel plans and come back for season, but hard to make plans if you're buried in your feelings over non-selection.
If you aren't selected, it's ok. You will be ok. Feel your feelings, then get back at it. Congratulate those you know that made it and don't compare yourself to anyone on the list. Comparison is the thief of joy. Look at your ECP/LADR and work on it. You don't have to be finished by November. A PIM to cover your time between eval and next year's LTB due date is an over-looked asset. If you need to study, work on your study plan.
If you are selected, congratulations! Trust the process.
