Congrats to those who made it! But I'm curious... How do I go from alternate for pilot in fy10 to not being on the list at all? Since last year I put on second, earned eaws, and became an AT cdqar. I have been in the Navy for only 3 years and started as an E1. My package was far more solid than last year. I am at a loss. I believe that now I am too old to apply again. Any thoughts?
I'm right there with you man! I was an IW alternate last year and i significantly improved my package this year. Just to name a few, I have another LOR from a 3 Star ADM I work for, very high MP first FCPO eval, all EP's before hand (now with NO missing time), another LOR from the N2 CAPT i work for, and to top it off my CoS's recommendation was personal as i have worked for him indirectly for 5+ years at different commands. Basically i don't see how i can improve my package besides more school.... i guess if the others had a lot of college and decent packages then they could very well trump my killer package.
The thing to remember is we can't make plans betting we will be selected... if your not selected it will only make it worse...
I will have a little pitty party but as i always do, i will lace up my shoes, and continue the never ending sprint to the finish line of the next challenge... i WILL make it to the STA 21 finish line... i can't and won't give up now.
