BACKGROUND: Before I got involved with Air Force ROTC I was planning on going to Navy OCS after college graduation, but my university offered AFROTC and I tried it out. Had a pilot slot while in ROTC, but got it yanked at medical flight screening at Brooks AFB because of mild color vision problems (got 7/14 right on PIP, can pass the FALANT fine, but USAF doesn't accept it.) Got redesignated into a support job where I am a pusher of papers instead of leader of men. With the yearly RIF for USAF officers has come voluntary separation programs in which the active duty service commitment is easily waived.
I have been talking to the Asst OCM for Aviation at Millington about the package and he's been pretty helpful. I have the instruction and the basic contents of the interservice transfer package which I am putting through at the beginning of FY07 when they will have slots come down again. Anyone do one of these packages before or know someone that has? Any recommendations on what else to put in? I am going to include a resume, letter written by me, and 3 letters of recommendation from my NJROTC instructor (retired CDR - figured it was important to get one Navy guy to sign off) to include ROTC performance, an AF 1-star, and probably an O-6 at my base.
Bottom line is I want to get in. Comments, suggestions?
