Hi, Air Warriors! I'm 24 and in DEP until this fall. I'm SECF right now with a pending waiver for Nuclear. I've just recently been reading about the STA21 program and, well, if you could all share some specific advice with me that would be awesome.
So, I have an unfinished 5-year engineering degree with a lot of credits but a not-so-hot GPA (I'll see what the numbers actually are when I get my transcript in the mail next week.) My highschool GPA was 3.6 or 3.7-ish. I haven't taken the SAT in a few years, so I'll have to study and take that again. But last time I got a 1360 or 1370 (I think 690 verbal - 680 math.) I haven't seen people sharing ASVAB scores much (though I've only read a dozen or so threads so far). Is that worth including (I got a 99 AFQT)?
I'm struggling to think of what else I might eventually put in my "package." Would certifications be worth it (like A+, Server+, programming language, or foreign language proficiency)? What can I do starting now to get LOR's from officers? Will I be able to find any time to take online college courses to raise my GPA by next year? Does STA21 interfere with the Loan Repayment Program?
(Thanks, and sorry for all the questions, but my recruiter certainly can't answer them)
