Hey everyone,
I was up for the April 15th board. I applied 1)INTEL 2) SWO 3) SNFO.
I was pre rec'd for SWO and SNFO, but was declined for INTEL. I was not aware that I would not be able to re-apply for 6 months if I was declined for one of my options and not the others. I want to re-apply for INTEL, but the boss says I need to wait 6 months, and turn down my other commissions. He said I also run the risk of not making it to the INTEL board in 6 months if my packet does not improve by quite a lot. Additionally, I risk not being allowed to re-apply for SWO after turning it down.
I would appreciate some insight into what my recruiter is telling me. Perhaps Goob would have time to comment on the INTEL selection? I was told people with Masters degrees and multiple language skills are getting picked up, and slots are filling quickly. Is there any wisdom in declining these commissioning options to re-apply for INTEL in 6 months?
Thanks in advance for any advice. The Navy is what I want to do, but I want to make sure I get it right. Thanks everyone.
