Any idea why you weren't selected? On the surface everything looks very impressive. A lot better than what appears to be where I stand in terms of my package. I'm beginning to be very concerned.

Thanks! Are talking about SWO-Oceano? I’ve looked into it. I don’t have 2 calc based physics classes so can’t directly apply. Applying intel to be looked at by IWC in hopes of being considered for that one. If it’s another or you have any suggestions lmk! Thanks!

CWE or Cyber Warfare Engineer is the one that can give you LTJG, another interesting thing about CWE is that they go to ODS vice OCS, and originally they were restricted to 5 years as a CWE and then they would need to redesiginate. That has changed and now they can go past 5 years.

Sheesh. Yea.. you could go human resources skip ocs all together by going dcm (direct commissioning)
HR is good option for those who want to go from civilian and serve as a reservist, competitive but there are many options to do a variety of AD assignments for 2-3 years. The list a lot of things as "preferred" but often means "required" lol

Originally i wanted to go do that because one of my minors are in HR, but i realized they only have selres and civilian for selection. So i opted out
