... I can't imagine the profiles for the 2 picked up...
I can't speak for the second person selected but here is my profile:
OAR: 49
B.A. Political Science; 3.87 GPA
PRT: Outstanding medium
LOR: (0-6) old sub Captain currently land based CO, (E-9) old sub CMC currently land based CMC and I wouldn't be surprised if he soon becomes a Fleet or Force Master Chief, (0-6) Current Intel CO, and a United States Senator.
Prior service: 5 years submarine duty, FT2(SS). 2 NAMS, 1 Admiral Letter, and some other chest candy. Outstanding early promote evals. Previously held a TS clearance.
Other things that may have affected package: 2 years Arabic, extensive world travel to Central America, Europe and South East Asia, 2 marathons, numerous other road races and adventure racing.
To be honest I was not expecting to get picked up for Intel because of the low selection rates, as such, I was already looking into Supply billets as Supply Officer was my second choice.
