That is pretty cool your commands have an "Officer Program Coordinator". I was the only guys I know of selected for STA-21 out of my command in the last five years and had to setup everything myself. Not only that, but I was a nuke submariner, on a submarine at the time, trying to put in a package to go non-nuclear/submarine. I am not sure if having a coordinator would have helped or hurt me since I had quite an opposition from the officers on my boat as well as some of the chiefs about leaving their community. I had to bug the CO/XO every day for an internal board and I setup my external board at a command that was three hours north of us. My command did setup an external board for me, however it was with another submarine across the hall from us. So my recommendation for anyone putting their package in, and really anything that affects their career, is to follow it up every step of the way and to not expect anyone to do anything for you, without verifying it to the instruction yourself. Good luck you guys!
