FY12 STA-21 Applicants

You are not being negative. You would actually be correct. One of my old captains explained to me that Accession Plans reflect officers being commissioned that fiscal year. This has nothing to do with the quotas for STA-21 for this year. I think a more accurate way to tell would be to email the people in P-Cola. I know last year they told how many were selected for each, before results came out. I seem to feel like if the numbers are as low as they say we may see the results as early as this week. Anyhow, Good luck to everyone

Yeah, sadly I would agree. I did not mean to put false information out there, that is why I put out the disclaimer. Just something to look at. Of course, I was excited to see it. These are just forums for sharing information and thats what I did.
Man, 192 sounded awesome!!.....Hmmm what to do now??? Let's all flood P-cola with emails requesting the quotas!!!!!!Jennifer Båtstad

Jeez, Keith... where was your advice on the LORs when you were going behind my back to get the base CO's LOR?

Yeah, the two Admirals wrote me amazing LOR and the Captain that worked nearby did everything he could to help me out. He did a ton of work to help me setup my outside board, called around to get other EDOs on it, introduced me to admirals around here to get my name out there, invited me over to his work so he could show me what he did and even the various Diving and Salvage jobs he's run and how he ran them.... He even (after everything was said and done) invited me to his retirement ceremony and reception. All of that and he wasn't even a part of my normal Chain of Command.
He wasn't the only EDO that helped me of course but he definitely was a huge help for me and I owe him a lot. He's one of the reasons that if I get selected for ED that I plan to go into the SUPSALV portion of the community. Certainly helps that I'm already a diver in the Navy but seeing how tight the community is even at that level is awesome.
Btw, was wondering what part of the ED community you were looking at going into. Or have you decided that yet? I know its a ways off before we get that far but it is something I look forward to someday.

It sounds like you've had a great opportunity to gain insight into the inner workings of the community. I work on a base this is mainly focused on the creation and testing of weapons/combat systems. I work on the Aegis radar so I'd like to get into the Combat Systems Acquisition side of things. I think it would be outstanding to affect the implementation of the newest technology that is being sent to our Sailors on the waterfront.
What's interesting to me is that I've only seen three EDO candiates on this forum and each is going after something different. You're thinking SupSal, MMC seems to be going after the shipyard (nuke) side of things, and I'm the combat systems type. I guess we'll see how it all works out.

As I am sure you are all aware the results will be out soon. Today my command received an email from NSTC regarding POC info for the new STA-21 selectees. They requested this info to be turned in NLT 01NOV. Hopefully, this means that results will be out shortly. This time last year I was itching to hear any news. FY-11 applicants were notified 19OCT. Good luck to you all.

I told you that i had an interview with him lol.. What was wierd was that it was much easier to get an appointment to talk to him than my own CO!! Plus, I'm not sure how they perceive LOR's from officers that they know you don't have a strong working relationship with. I guess anybody could look good during thier 15 min interview...Jeez, Keith... where was your advice on the LORs when you were going behind my back to get the base CO's LOR?
Would they rather see a LOR from a LCDR in your command, or a LOR from a CAPT somewhere else?

I sent the email out just now ... unfortunately I don't come back to work until tonight ... hopefully it'll be more than quotas by then.

I would assume an LOR from someone that actually knows the person would hold more weight vs an LOR from a high ranking person ie, I would rather see an LOR from someone's maintenance officer than from a senator or an admiral who has never met the person but thats just me.

And no HR's. the HR option wasn't around 3-4 years ago which is why there would be no grads/commisions in the FY 11 report. the earliest for grads in that option I think would by FY13. With CORE, those officers numbers would be reflected in the designator they chose in there junior/senior year.
