I don't want to sound critical or ungrateful, but I have had it lately with the recruiters from my local NRD (I won't mention the specific NRD)! I have waited over 212 days for my first submission of my package, and my package is being submitted to Millington for the second time. I was a non-select for Intel the first time around. However, I was told by one of the recruiters that I was only submitted for Intel, and not for any of my other choices (IW and PAO). Now, with the latest "push" to get NFO's commissioned, I have resubmitted, only to find that my package has been sitting this entire time at the recruiter's office. I received notification on 7 April of non-select status and faxed all neccesary documents by 10 April to my recruiter for designator preference change (NFO). My father, a retired Navy officer of 23 years, called the recruiter's CO twice, just to rattle their cages. We have also called CNRC Millington to let them know of the recruiter's flounderings and how things have been handled.
I just received a call stating that now my package will be submitted to Millington under all three communities. One of the statements (moreovever and excuse) that I heard was that that, "To tell you the truth, your GPA and your (ASTB) scores are not that great. It's very competitive." My question is this: How can someone judge a package that has not been submitted? Also, I was not aware that a recruiter actually sat on the board at Millington. And latsly, why was my package never sent on or around 10 April? I was under the impression it had ALREADY been sent.
I'm writing this to ask anyone if they have been going through similar experiences. Also, was I right in contacting CNRC, or should I have just let it lie? I have not heard back from CNRC and the CO of the NRD I am working with is nowhere to be found. I get voicemail after voicemail when I try to contact them. It seems to me that this command is disfunctional at the least and needs a change of attitude. I am only one person knocking at the door trying to gain a commission (and I have help with my father's experience & knowledge, LOR's from flag officers, etc..). I can only imagine how intimidating it is for someone with no knowledge at all of how the "system works." Any thoughts on this?
