Checking in.
Sent my application last Saturday. Currently Deployed. Will be my first board. Will not stop applying until I make it.
Going for IP from the fleet.
Unfortunately, no to the first two; am an IT with extensive both in rate experience and civilian experience prior to joining. While it's good to be realistic about things, I have read enough threads discouraging me from applying or even bothering, I will still continue improving until I get selected.
*edit* - I do have one question regarding waivers themselves. If there is an error or something needed to be changed, do you just send the waiver itself or do you resubmit the package with the waiver?
I find it curious that they'd look at something almost a decade old as more relevant and indicative of anything over the interview appraisals, high OAR, military record, actual in rate and out of rate experience, certifications, and letters of recommendation. However, I do appreciate the info. I will learn from this board and get ahead of preparing a reconsideration package after some potential interviews and completing more certifications.
It won't let me edit that last post for some reason - However I'd like to point out that an old GPA while my show understanding on basic theories in someone early 20s, I am hoping that there are other ways to show that someone understands the building blocks and how systems may change over the next next generation of technology. I believe that understanding the fundamentals of Networking and Communications (Radio side) will benefit and I make that clear in my package.
As you said though, I will be looking towards getting a masters if the GPA holds back everything.
I'd bounce the idea off @RUFiO181 and @NavyOffRec but I'm sure they'd say there's no need to retake your OAR. A 60 is a more than solid score.Checking in here. Applying SWO-Oceano as my second choice. I know this is a very competitive community so hoping the whole-person concept shines through. If I do not Pro-Rec this (or the Supply) board I will be retaking my OAR and hopefully secure more Oceano-related LORs. Good luck to everyone!

Thank you for the recommendation. I will keep that in mind moving forward.With a 60 OAR score I would highly advise not retaking. Improve everything else on your application.
Thank you very much for the heads up. Fellow Florida university graduate here.. congrats on the recent PROREC!I'd bounce the idea off @RUFiO181 and @NavyOffRec but I'm sure they'd say there's no need to retake your OAR. A 60 is a more than solid score.
