pilot
Applying for SNA
ASTB: 58 8/9/7
Major: Mechanical engineering
GPA: 2.85 (May 2020 graduation)

I'm taking GPA boosting courses this summer, so if I get the grades I expect on getting, my cumulative GPA will be a 3.03. My semester ends after the August board meets, so my new cumulative GPA won't be reflected in this packet. How well do I sit if I put in for the August board?

Just submit with your current GPA. Unless you have a sub 2.5 GPA the boards don’t really care about it

Former division 1 college football player and indoor track competitor. I was also a captain on my football team.
Applying for SWO

My recruiter seems pretty confident in my chances. That OAR Makes me nervous. It was my first time taking it, and I know I can retake if I don’t get selected. Really would like to avoid that and just get selected on my first go. Am I in a good spot for SWO?

Hello all, I'd greatly appreciate anyone's thoughts on my application package for DCO 1835 INTEL.

I'd like to preface that I'm familiar with the stereotype of D.C./Hill types applying to this program. Despite my on-paper characteristics, I don't think they apply to me. I wrote a lot of my motivational statement about my paternal grandfather who was a Chief during WWII. He was offered the chance to go to OCS, but declined in order to start our family. I grew up with my father teaching me about his stories through Victory at Sea and taking me to the Intrepid in NYC at least once a year. My other grandfather was also a WWII vet (Army) who I was very close to and who inspired a lot of my ideas about public service. I'd be the first officer in my family's history.

Age: 28

Military:
No prior experience.

Work history:
Three years U.S. Senate as what you might call a congressional investigator; often work directly with office's National Security Adviser
Prior experience working for large city council, state assembly, and local government

Education:
B.S. Cornell University, Industrial and Labor Relations (basically Political Science), minor History, GPA 3.4
M.A. (in progress) U.S. Naval War College, Defense and Strategic Studies, current GPA 3.7 (I've finished TSDM and JMO)

LOR:
Active O-6 SWO, Director of Navy Senate Liaison
Reserve O-6 Aviator, Director of Legislative Affairs for Chief of Navy Reserve
Retired O-5 SWO, War College JMO Prof.
Senator/Boss (who is in leadership)

Community Involvement/Leadership:
Lots of leadership related to work and getting offices to work together given my boss' position. I also volunteer at the Philly Seaport museum when I can, play on an office sports team, and am a member of my college's clubs in D.C. and NYC.

MEPS:
Cleared in May 2019.

Interviews:
O-5 1835 INTEL has offered to help me get two more interviewers in the community.

Shoot dude, are you in fleet seminar? I may have taken JMO with you.
 

Hail_HYDRA!

One more question...
Yep, Fleet Seminar. I just finished JMO, so it's entirely possible. Did you have McMaster?
I had Townsend at Navy Yard, but occasionally would visit the other locations due to schedule conflicts. I recall Szmed and Carroll, but not McMaster.

Huh, we just missed each other then. I also took TSDM at the Navy Yard with Watts.

Did you just go through the DCO IWC process?

Intel may have a shot, your GPA is just below the average but you have some other good things in there to make you stand out.

IP you don't have a tech degree and nearly all the people they pick have a tech degree

Thanks. I know IP is a long shot but it’s something I have always had a passion for. Our coordinator said it couldn’t hurt to apply for it but put as a my second choice
