FY-12 Specwar Alternate
I know that for the specwar option waivers up to 24 months are pretty much automatic. I don't know much about other options, just wanted to put out that waivers are not unheard of.

killer boots man!
Its good to see this thread picking up some steam. So what I heard is there will only be 65 selectees. This is my second year applying Pilot/Core
Jeez! 65, that 10 lower than 75! Where did you get that from?

I'm applying for HR. I need to commission by age 29 and I'm 26 right now. Won't start school until I'm 27. What is the purpose of age requirements? I can understand for URL but for RL? really?
That is correct for every community. The rule still applies just with the new age the waiver approves you up to.
I have never seen a age waiver turned down.

FY13 Sta-21 Applicant EDO/SWO
hehe ... there are a lot of people in the know on this forum apparently. Wish I was as well informed.
ALT for SWO/ED twice, chances are you will get it this year. You must be doing something right, can you post your stats. This is my second year applying for SWO/ED, 4th time applying for STA-21 in general. I was trying to go nuke but I got too old.
I changed my degree from what my online application said after I was selected. After NSI I changed it again. They don't care (as long as you're NOT a nuke) what your degree is in as long as you graduate within time/age requirements.

I generally don't like posting stats because I don't think it gives a clear picture of the "Total Person" and can sometimes be misleading, but since you asked I'll lay out the basics. I think that being an alternate twice gives me a better than average chance, but I'm worried about the quotas this year. My biggest detractor the past 2 years was that I had no EDO support as far as interviews or LOR's go. I was at a small/isolated command, so my in-command board was with LT's and I didn't have an out of command board. This year I had all O-5's in command (1 EDO), and an all EDO out of command board (O-7, two O-6's, and an O-5). I couldn't have asked for better CO Rec/interviews/NRB Chair Rec's, but who knows.
