Greetings,
I am applying for the Information Professional (IP) option under the STA-21 program this year and am now trying to prepare for my six officer interviews. I have a general idea about what the community does, but I could use some help on getting an idea what to focus on for the officer interviews.
The following are questions that I have about the IP Officer community:
- What are the main differences between a Surface Platform IP Officer and a Shore Command IP Officer? What main role do they have in the mission/command and how do they each operate (shore/surface)?
- What is the main foundation of an IP Officer in relation to their mission? And what resources do they rely on to accomplish their missions?
- What are the main challenges that IP Officers face? Do the differ between deploying billets and shore billets? If so, how?
- What other Officer Communities do they work hand-in-hand or closely with?
- How do IP Officers operate in joint-service or inter-agency environments?
These are the only questions that I could come up with. If anyone has resources or have other points that they think I should focus on, whether related to the IP Officer community or just Officer Interviews/boards in general, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time!
