I've missed the deadline for the November Intel board (MEPS approval letter arrived one day too late) and it in itself was disheartening for me. I was concerned about my selection chances, but possibility of not even making it onto the candidate list never crossed my mind.
Hearing you guys sticking it through multiple attempts and keeping your head high - that's the Courage and Commitment to your goal the Navy values in their service members to begin with! I have a lot of respect
@barthazarr and
@EchoMike
No stats to share at the moment. If I hear anything from my recruiter I'll post here. Good luck! Ganbare!
So it looks like I'm in a similar boat for this board....whoever is reviewing my medical packet is dragging their heels and doesn't look like I'm going to be able to get my package in for April. If I'm reading
this correctly it looks like there's another board in August (packages due 8 July), can someone confirm whether or not I'm looking at the right thing? If so that's not as bad as I thought, was dreading having to wait another 6 months to a year especially at my age.
39 y/o (will be 40 when the board meets)
OAR 59
BA (History and Political Science) 2.2, MBA (Finance) 3.5, AAS (Intelligence Operations) 4.0, also have 45 credit hours from DLI with a 3.5. My total GPA if I have it calculated correctly is 3.0 however obviously my bachelor's is dragging it down severely most of which was coursework I took years ago, I am highlighting in my personal statement that my GPA for all coursework I've completed within the last 10 years is 3.6
Prior service Army HUMINT, ~7.5 years including 2 combat deployments, some advanced training, combat leadership, and completed language school for Mandarin. Formerly held TS/SCI, expired now but wouldn't expect any issues re-obtaining
LOR - Not certain yet but will probably get one from a former civilian boss and 2 former bosses in the Army, also might get an additional one from a family friend who is a retired intel O-6 in another service
Might need 1 waiver, still waiting to hear back on it
Good luck everyone, hope to see some of you out there in the fleet down the line.
