Well I am finally trying to finish up my application and need some help with LORs. First here is some background, feel free to skip if it gets too boring.
I am looking to apply for BDCP for SNA,SNFO,(either SWO or Sub or Nuke).
My GPA is a bit on the low side 2.9 in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at Purdue University. I guess that is what happens when you test out of the cake courses. With my school work I have gotten into a Co-op program (a re-occuring internship). This has given me basically 2 years of job experience as an engineer. I took the OAR and got 79/9/9/9.
I need to work on getting myself into better shape for the PFT. I am not out of shape but not where I want to be either.
My outside of school activities is a bit shaky though. I play a few sports here and there, but I am not really active in any student organizations (the downside to that Co-op Program).
So the two things left that I need are my motivational statement, which I can piece together, and LORs.
LORs is where I need the most help. I don't know any military officers (and neither does my family.). With being gone from school every 4 months it is hard for teachers to get to know me and to get really active in organizations or design teams. I could most likely get a LOR from one of the people I have worked under at my job (or two or more). I could also get one from my high school coach, but that was from a long while ago and I could attempt to get one from a prof. or at worst case from a high school teacher.
Does anyone have some suggestions on where I could look for LORs? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
