Competitve for SWO?

[atriste]

I didn't know that he was a non-select

So you replied without even really reading my post and writing seething comments?

You guys want to buy some t-shits?

My post was not aimed at only you, but at the other 8 billion people on here that bash SWO without any real knowledge of the community, other than what is posted here. Your post was just the icing on the "I've heard enough" cake.

Black Shoe vs Brown Shoe, all in fun, yes, I agree. But lets not get too serious with the SWO bashing. Note I didn't say anything about Brown Show bashing...it's kinda hard to find anything bad to say about aviation.

Seething comments? Really? I read your post, but I missed the fact that you mentioned you were a non-select. However, that factor is entirely irrelevant and you, coming from a position of zero experience, aren't really in any position to give your two cents about any military community anyways. If you want seething comments, just keep on with the stupid remarks.

It's hard to say. I was picked up for INTEL but non-select for SWO.

Just do your best to put together as kick-ass a package as you can and roll with it.

If you need more SWO insight, try sailorbob.com. It's a forum for SWOs. Sort of a SWO Warrior board I guess.

Good luck!

Actually go out to the fleet and talk to SWOs too. Your recruiter shouldn't have an issue putting you in contact with people in the know. Form your opinion from there.

If you want some SWO knowledge, send me a pm.

Thanks for advice guys. I was a non-select for SWO in the April Boards though. My recruiter says my 4/4/4 ASTB is just not competitive right now. I have one more time to take the ASTB and this time I am going to be ready for it. My recruiter says he is really suprised I did not get picked since he says my overall package is strong. He says he is going to 're-app' me which means I won't have to wait 6 months to reapply but I will have to get a better score on the ASTB to do so. I graduate college in 3 weeks and I am excited to have a lot of time to study. My goal is to get it to 7/7/7 and then hopefully get SWO or Intel. Big bummmer, but I am determined to be a Navy Officer and I don't really care what I am. I just want to serve.

Check out the ASTB gouge around the forum, put more time studying, and you're certain to get those scores up!

I've tried to "ghost" the sb forums for info in the past, but it says you have to register, and that means you have to be an SWO. Is that correct?

 

[Carlos Caliente]

Indeed. You have to be a SWO to register at sailorbob.
It's not like they're gonna show the bloody knife to just anyone who cruises by on the net.
