Hello everyone, I'm sorry about the fact that you probably get a lot of posts like this one.
I recently heard about the BDCP and have been interested since then. Serving my country after school was always something I wanted to do, and the fact that I could get paid to get good grades and stay in shape is amazing.
Anyway, I've emailed my recruiter a few times and went to a meeting where they showed us NUPOC and Civil Navy stuff.
My major (aerospace engineering) only applies, according to the recruiter, to aviation and NFO. While I really like the idea of doing those jobs, they are (according to him) nearly impossible to get.
If anyone here got accepted for aviation or NFO, could you offer any tips or tell me some approximate qualifications? Also, something I could never clear up, if you do BDCP do you still do interviews in DC and all that, or is most of it done by mail? I know for NUPOC you do travel, but I wasn't able to get a clear answer on BDCP.
My grades are good and I do have service, extra curriculars, etc. But I don't play organized sports (only playing for fun with friends). Does that mean I'd be a lot less likely to get a slot?
Anyway, thanks again.
