Only two again this year, not really surprised.Congratulations everyone! I think the wait actually softened the blow.
Either of the ED guys out there? Im the alternate, again. Hoping you changed your mind...
Congrats to those who made it. I cannot believe they didn't select anyone from Intel, I think that makes it about 100 times worse, to know all the work I put in was for no chance at all.......They should have just said they were taking any and I wouldn't have wasted my time.
I think that I may be finished as well, Two years as an alternate is enough for me. at this rate, if I got picked up next year, by the time I got to being an EDO I would already be at 17 years, doesnt really seem worth it. I will probably put in an LDO/CWO package next year instead.Well, I won't be applying again. The option I applied for this year was CEC. The one person they picked for CEC this year was the alternate last year (in FY12). In FY12, the selectee was the alternate from FY11. In FY11, the two selectees were alternates from FY10. My EAOS is March 2014, and since I wasn't selected as an alternate this year, I won't be applying again.
A huge congratulations to everyone who was able to get selected this time around. Count your blessings, as it appears the STA-21 program is dying out.
Or oceanography...just sayin'.My Husband has Similar sentiments. No Supply, IW, INTEL, HR or Med Corps is disheartening for those that only put in for that option. Essentially Nukes, some pilots and Core options were all that were selected. Only 2 SWO? That's surprising! Sorry to those that weren't selected, Congrats to those who were.
