FY10 STA-21 Applicants gather round!

[wlawr005]

A Mustang is an officer who has earned a Good Conduct ribbon (or 4 years of enlisted service). Technically, STA-21 grads are Mustangs, but typically CWO/LDO's practice the rights and traditions that go along with the "cool tagname" <--gay. Anyway, show up at your first command, pat CWO5 on the back, call him a fellow Mustang, and see what happens. Better yet, wear one of those cool Mustang belt buckles too...

Is today gonna be the day? I hope so. I'm more anxious than ever! Does anyone know where I could find any indication of how many people will be accepted for each program this year? Or do I just use the last few years as an indication?

Today is the Friday before the 20th. If they release it earlier than the 20th, I'm hoping for today. Of course, I was hoping for about two weeks ago...

And thank you zeroentropy for that link.

Thanks for the link brother.

I applied for Nuke with my personal statement being heavy towards wanting to go Submarines. Looks like my odds are about as good as they could be.

On another note, I'm off of work today and I really don't see myself accomplishing much other than abusing my F5 key.

Depends on who you talk to. Some say that you have to be prior enlisted with at least 4 years of service (the O-XE pay) and I've heard of some commands that said you had to be a prior Chief. Here's a good link: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=20981823730. Either way, I personally would never refer to myself as one when speaking to anyone.... and if I were selected I meet both criteria.

Opsec

why? I gave up nothing that isnt readily avail on the 'net... except for my personal transfer day... i know, maybe the bad guys will follow me to the tarmac and slip a tracking device in my bags, eh?

Surfrodder . . . I see no OPSEC foul play on your post. I read it as that was the day your transfering.

And we wait . . .

STA-21 FY10 results

I called the phone number on the STA-21 website and spoke with a gentlemen who informed me that the board has concluded and they are waiting on the approval of 3 admirals. They hope that they will have them out the week of the 20th but it may be as long as the week after that.

We can relax until next week... enjoy your weekend.

Like I said before, I knew they were just sitting on someone's desk. *sigh*

For some reason, I'm not surprised. My husband has been in 5 years and that seems to be the case more often than not. Especially when they *KNOW* people are waiting. It doesn't affect them, so why do they care... Frustrating, but oh well. Have a good weekend everyone...I'll do my best to not check the website a million times!

Eh, they said that two weeks ago. I know they don't use the pony express to reach these admirals, so I am pretty sure they don't know what they are talking about and they just give that rehearsed excuse to everybody who calls them about the results. I've succumbed to the "they'll come out when the come out," bit; and I feel little hope for today...

I agree, it sounds like a get off the phone/ stop calling me reason.

This link doesn't address the selection rate for STA-21. It reflectes the Service Selection quotas for students in their final year of ROTC. Pretty much only applies to CORE STA-21 guys in their selection window.

Usually ~1000 people apply to STA-21 each year, ~200 get rejected due to jacked up packages, and ~200 get selected. So, you got about a 1 in 4 shot of getting picked up. Better than the lottery.
