Hello everyone,
I just found this tread and want to see if you guys think I have any chance in the IWC community.
Here is my info:
BS in Mechanical Engineering technology
MS in Mechanical Engineering
PhD Student in Mechanical Engineering.
6 years as a civilian mech engineer (worked with aviation medical devices, electronical engineering research lab, and now for navy on torpedo's)
6 years of USMC reserves as a Senior artillery section chief (supervisor of the cannon and crew)
I understand that there is CEC and EDO. I am just trying to cover my bases for all DCO programs. I want to become a naval officer and whatever designator I could get would be amazing.
Do you have your FE credential yet? That may be a requirement for EDO.
Also, even though the app allows you list up to five choices, reality is that three is understood to be the max.
If you're considering something IWC, it would good to do some digging and identify what you think you want to do, as the IWC is composed of more than just INTEL... On paper, you're qualified to apply, but may not be as competitive as someone who already works in the field. I've seen it go both ways, so don't let that stop you,
prima facie. Just be able/ready to tell a more compelling story than the next applicant.
