Wow I’m shocked that you didn’t get selected. I would add 2-3 more interviews with O-6 SWO’s only. And then add one letter of recommendation from a one or two star Admiral. If you add those things and then send it in for the next board then you should be shoe in. For Admiral recommendation I reached out to my old skipper who was an O-6 but is now an O-8. If you need help with that then message me. The only other thing I can think of is taking a look at your CO’s recommendation and your personal statement.
I was glad to be At Board. This has been a journey. I'm about to message you.

Thanks. Going to try improving it. Redoing my CO recommendation (since the last one just turned over) adding some LORs and completing some more interviews.

Would you use a former CO (O5) as a LOR or interview?

I used the email cert but it wouldn't allow me to get to that page. Can you send it to me. Thanks
I would but it asked me why I needed access. I haven't been able to access it from home yet,only at work. When I checked at work,the file was huge though. Message me your name and if I gain access I'll screenshot you what I see.

Could you send me the file? For some reason I can't get to that site with my CAC. My email address is twgriffith@gmaill.com. Thanks and congrats.
’m not near my computer right now but I can do it later.

l would use O-6’s for interview and O-7 and above for LOR. One of my mentors that was an O-5 wouldn’t even do an interview with me because he said “if you want to get selected you need O-6’s and 3 at a minimum.” Also, keep in mind the interview holds more weight then the LOR. So you only need one or two LOR’s and you want one of them to be an O-7 or above. Especially in your case because it’s a resubmit. You don’t want to keep sending anything that is O-5 and below.

I'll keep that in mind and start working my way to O6 COs out here on the waterfront.
