30JUN25 IWC BOARD

[Rainold]

I'm wrapping up my application for this upcoming board so thought I'd start a thread to discuss. I'm just going for IP, and if not selected my backup is CW immediate select.

Here are my stats:

• BS in Information Technology
• 3.58 GPA (4.0 since switching major to IT but not sure if they even see that)
• 60 OAR
• Calc and Physics I/II done with As and Bs
• No relevant work experience
• No prior service
• Taking Security+ exam next month but still up in the air
• No policy waivers

Hello, pitching in my stats as well!

• BS and MS in Computer Science
• 53 OAR
• 3.69 GPA
• No prior service
• No relevant work experience
  • nobody's hiring junior devs in my area

My first choice is I-SEL CW and my backup is IP. Currently waiting on my MEPS results (went in Apr 14) and my recruiter says he will move forward from there.

Luckily for OCS programs you don't need to worry about relevant work experience.

I do understand about the lack of IT jobs, one of my recruiter friends is an IT recruiter and he posted a role Monday at 8 am and by 1:30 pm he had 417 applications.
