Facts!!! I’m 24 and 6 years in and I’m right there with you bro, I got my university degree in Hawaii within 2 years with a 3.78 gpa. Great recommendation from all O5 and above, all Evals say put in wardroom. I truly hope to see both of our names on the list. And I know if I don’t make it, I got it next time. My CO is an O7 and gave me an amazing recommendation since I work directly for him daily. I pray everyday I wake up to good news because this navy stuff is the one thing I’m passionate about. You really got me motivated af after reading your post. Thanks for that. YOU WILL BE GREAT!So from the past board which was aviation at the beginning of the month of August they had 253 applicants and selected 186. That’s over half and with fy22 starting in October they are seeming picking more to fill the quota as in picking now that are for the current fy21. So to me it would mean they are picking more that are meeting the requirements to ensure they are meeting the quota for the next fy. And me being AD and it’s not even 20 of us compared to 252 total applicants that were at-board tells me at a glance that if you are hitting the wickets they want especially since the new program authorization released in March leaves me to believe a lot of people have a shot if you have the requirements even on waivers. For me I’m 23 my gpa was a 3.29 and I only been on AD for 4 years exactly and I joined straight out of high school and I expressed a desire to be a SWO I think it would it be a good select in my opinion. So in my corner I would say if you want to be a SWO and you know the work it requires and you showed a desire in your package and those interviews said you really want it they help you should be on ya way! I want a full career maybe even past 20 years and I put that all in my package with all my supporting documents I received calls from millington throughout the whole journey they actually helped me get a conditional release and wavier when I applied so I hope it was all for it. So that’s my take… I know it’s long but I’m passionate about this shit fr!
