CTO1 to IW Officer
Good points, but from the two examples of questions in this board, it sounds like the Chiefs were just hating more than anything else.
This was a major concern of mine. I didn't want to be put into a position to defend "Why I want to be an Officer" vice a Chief, in the sense of me turning my back on the Enlisted Community. To my surprise, the Chief's where 100% for me in my pursuit to seek a commission.
Corry Station is a unique entity in the Navy. Unlike any thing I have seen in my nine years in the Navy. The CO here puts a lot of weight on the Mess and rightfully so. The Chief Board aside, I used it as good practice for the two boards and CO interview I have in front of me.
Oh well, we'll see
