CO's Recommendations (2):
First, Hand written from previous Commodore (O-6)
Second, Personally typed from current Commodore (O-6) who stated I was the best applicant he has reviewed in his 25 year career.
-Both are extremely heavy write-ups

Interviews:
3 Submarine O-5
1 NFO O-6 (Current Chief of Staff for Navy Region SW)
1 Pilot O-5 (Current CO of a Helicopter Squadron)
1 IW O-5
-All have 10's w/excellent write ups

1 NC O-5 (My Father-in-Law)
1 CWO3 (My command's SSO who is an IW)
1 E-9 (CMC for COMSUBGRU 7)
-All great write-ups

Additional Info:
Had CO's NJP in 2003 - Article 132
One of my LOR is from the CO who masted me
Both my previous CO and current Commodore discuss the NJP and how much I have learned from it.
All Evals since have been EP except the one immediately after, which was an MP
I also wrote an NJP address discussing the situation and how I have learned from it.

Any thoughts (even constructive criticism) and recommendation will help .

Well, at a glance, I'd say you could use a few more references. :rolleyes:

Obviously the biggest thing you can do to help your application at this point is to kick ass on the ASTB. You've got a few weeks to prepare, and there's good gouge on this site, so that's where I'd start (actually, it's where I did start).

That is a very strong application... kind of makes me question my own!! Kick ass on the ASTB like FUPaladin said and I think you would be an excellent candidate!!

Fradulent claims?!? Not that it's any of my business, but what did you do? If in your statement you address it, admit guilt and say how you learned from it, it shouldn't be a big deal... Especially with everything else, you've got a lot of atta boys to take care of that oh shit...
