I am 25. I have been enlisted for two years now and am going to my first ship in April. I am going to be applying to sta-21 next year for sure. How much will letters from congressman and senators help. On a personal level, I know 1 ex-state senator, and a state Representative. On a non-personal level, I know one more state senator. I really don't want to mention who they are on this board, but the one of them is a Naval War Hero( if you can guess who it is that is fine but I won't give up the name ).
I guess my main question is this; I know that the most important Opinion is that of my CO, how much weight will these letters from government officials hold? Obviously they will be considered, but in the opinion of this board, will they hold a lot or a little weight.
thanks in advance for all the help.
