I was just wondering if anyone knows how often an alternate gets selected as a primary the next selection boards if they apply.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I was able to get into the site each year after I wasn't selected. But after the rework of the whole site I'd say all bets are off as to previous gouge having any weight now. Good luck in your future apps though, persistence is the key...that and sustained superior performance
T.. if they have some kind of report to make sure they know you were an alternate the next year?
I'm more than sure they do. Not sure if you got your alternate packet from STA-21 yet, but if you read the official letter addressed to you, it will say something along the lines of "Congratulations! blah blah.. You are highly encouraged to reapply next year.." Well at least that's how my letter read.
Persistence pays off, believe it.
I was once told that 50% (if not, more) of the selects are sailors that have applied more than once for the program. If you are reapplying for the next cycle, know that you have a lead on everyone else because of your alternate selection.
Good luck.
