Zachary Wagoner
FY-17 Nuclear Selectee
I had zero recommendations. A lot of people didn't have any. I think volunteer service is a big deal because many of FY17 selects have volunteer service ribbons. I didn't. Honestly, looking at my package and the variety of other selects we had, it really does seem like a crap shoot so just make yourself look the best you can and then cross your fingers.If anyone can help me out, my package is almost complete (all documents together) except my interviews which will be set up and finished by next week.
Do I have the appraisal forms for the officers interviewing me and hand it over before the interview? I'm on a base with a very limited option of officers O-4 and above which has been a very frustrating issue.
How about letters of recommendations? I wont have any besides the CO's. Does anyone see this as a problem?
I also have a huge amount of volunteer hours. How does one go about adding this to my package? I help a the local farm assisting elderly and less fortunate people.
My package is pretty strong but very limited on recommendations.
