Ok, I'm mainly concerned about my ASTB scores that I just got back this week and took for the second time. Last year I took the ASTB and scored a 43, I forget the exact breakdown. I took it again last week after studying some book that I had purchased on the internet and having recently completed Math 185 Col. Algebra. I scored a 52 with 7's on every part. So I am wondering if this would be considered competative.
A couple other questions I have for anyone who has gone through the STA-21 process. Have outside letters of rec helped? I asked my first captain now Rear Admiral Sullivan at the Pentagon write a letter of rec for me and he was nice enough to do so. I am also seeking a letter of rec from my congressman back home. Would this seem like a power push or somthing that would go well with an application?
And a little background on myself. I'm an FC1(SW) currently at my first shore duty station in my second year here and 8 total years in the Navy age: 25 (26 on Saturday). I started as a tech on the ship continualy moved up in responsability to Assistant LPO of CF division (AEGIS Weapons System). I did try for the STA-21 program last year however was not selected. Since then I have almost completed my associates (5 classes left after may) and have held a gpa over 3.8.
One of the bad things on my record. I don't know how much high school will weigh now that I've been in the Navy for 8 years but my graduating gpa was a dismal 2.066 and like 59 of 62. I did however score a 1230 on my SAT last year w/ a 650 mat and a 580 english.
Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated. I did start a little late in the application process and if I am not selected this year I likely won't be able to apply next year due to PCS and schools. You can't transfer if you have a STA-21 package submitted and it would be dificult to say the least to get one submitted while at a C school not to mention upset my detailer to no end.
Oh yeah, one more question. I am currently at White Sands Missile Range and will be needing to set up a review board somewhere other than here. Last year I contacted my first divo who was the Weapons Officer onboard the USS Lake Champlain. However, this year they'll be gone when I need to conduct the board. Do you think setting up the board at a NAS would be helpful since I am going for the pilot option or does it not really make a diference.
Thank you for you time,
