How many months prior to expiration of active obligated service (EAOS) or PRD do career development boards interview personnel?

Career development boards typically conduct their interviews with personnel 15 months prior to the expiration of their active obligated service (EAOS) or the end of their projected rotation date (PRD). This timeframe allows the board to provide adequate support and guidance to service members as they prepare for their future career moves, including options for re-enlistment, training opportunities, and potential assignments.

Conducting these interviews well in advance ensures that personnel have enough time to consider their options and make informed decisions about their careers in the military, which is essential for effective personnel management and career development. Thus, 15 months is the optimal timeframe to allow for thorough planning and preparation.
