Tracking the Paperwork

Question for the group: With so many different units and boards, how do you track deadlines in your application process? How do you avoid missing deadlines and keep it all straight?

If you're anything like me, I need to see things laid out in front of me for peace of mind. I used an Excel spreadsheet with tabs for each board, then transferred to my Google calendar.

So, show of hands: How do you track your deadlines? If you have a new or different way, put it in the comments so we all get better!

I create a folder on my computer for each application I’m submitting. I put the due date, base location, and unit name in the folder name. Once I submit my application, I add that date to the folder name as well.

Drew95 That' perfect. BL, it's uber important to battle track and come up with a system so you can navigate this path as efficiently as possible and maximize your chances of getting picked up. Good luck!
