I met with my Army recruiter on Monday (8/31) and he said the first board is going to be Jan 1 with all paperwork and whatnot due in mid to late November. That's for non-early-acceptance. For early acceptance to their HPSP program (meaning, you can get a provisional offer of the scholarship WITHOUT yet having an acceptance to dental school) they require a 19+ DAT with 3.6 or higher GPA. If you don't have that, you can't go up for board review before Jan 1.
As far as the Navy goes, yes, the 22 DAT is required for early acceptance - if you don't have that, you can't go to board until December or January. Deadline for December board is Dec 1, so assuming you get an acceptance on Dec 1, you'd have to send that to your Navy recruiter that same day to be able to be considered for the December board. Even then, you'll have missed out on scholarships that have already been provisionally offered to those who applied to the early acceptance (with 22+ DAT) in the October and November boards. Out of ~65-75 scholarships, I would imagine about 15-20 will have already been provisionally given out by the time the December board rolls around.
