Hi,
I am applying for STA-21. I am posting here for any tips, hints, or additional information anyone can give me. I have read through the STA-21 instructions throughly. I came in the Navy in 2005, I was division RCPO (not that it means anything anymore). I was top of my class in A school and was promoted early. I was then stationed on the USS Saipan, went mess cranking, and was FSA of the month two month in a row and earned a CO's LOC for job performance while cranking. I earned both my Air and Surface Warfare pins. I also was selected as USS Saipan Bluejacket Sailor of the Year (I recieved no award however because my command said E-3 and below don't get NAM's). I got an EP eval, and upon decommissioning made 3rd my first time up. After C school I went to HSC-22 and now serve as Line Shack Midnight Shift Supervisor of 4 airman. I also became a CDI (collateral duty inspector), I am the youngest CDI at my command. I am also one of few qualified 3rd qualified as ASDO (assistant squadron duty officer). I have a letter of recommendation from a High School Teacher, and a short one from a Congressman, I wrote a letter to my old CO, but never heard back. I took the SAT and scored very high, and will be taking the ASTB within a few weeks. Are there any other suggestions or recommendations anyone can give me please? Thanks in advance for all your help.
