This forum has been a great resource.
I've been lurking for a few months, just thought I'd make an account to chime in on a few things
I also noticed that my NETFOCUS account has been missing my information since the end of September. I'm not sure what this means. I've been logging on every night waiting for results.
I feel like many of you are far more qualified than most of the Nukes that apply. Most of us that get picked up haven't even seen the fleet, let alone finished training. I'm not sure if we get picked up because we are nukes or because we apply for Nuke...
RATE/RANK: MM3
APPLYING FOR: Nuke
EVALS: just the ones from A school and Power School. Promotable plus some points for GPA and fitness.
SMART: ~70 from the pipeline
COLLEGE: 48 CR with a 3.2 GPA
HIGH SCHOOL: 3.75, honors courses
LEADERSHIP: management experience before the Navy
AWARDS: n/a
TIS: 1 yr 6 months
ACT: 58 combined I think it was
WARFARE QUALS: not a thing
PRT: excellent, excellent, excellent
LORs: retired Admiral, Commander, and Chief. LCPO (A school Chief)
None of this is too spectacular...
With Nukes, our grades weigh very heavily into selection along with our Boards. That's all we have to stand out.
I was A School honorman 3.74
13 out of ~400 in Power School and Graduated with Honors. (>3.7 GPA)
During the LT board, all three LTs were prior STA-21 selectees and were previously DivOs. I got 10/10 From two in all fields and 9/10 except the one area where I got a 9.
That's just a little insight in how it is for us.
