Help

[ccampuzano]

Hello, I am an active duty PO1 trying to apply for OCS next year. The area where I am is hard to find officers who can help me with letters of recommendation. The majority of the officers I know are reservist. It is OK to ask a reservist for a letter of recommendation since I would like to request for active duty officer not reservist? I am planning to apply right after I finish my degree around January time.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

No fear asking a Reservist for a letter...they are still commissioned officers and that's all that counts. Actually rather pointless asking anyone you DON'T know for a letter...how could they recommend you?

Thank you for the advice. I worked in a reserve center and the officers who may be able to give me an interview are FTS or SELRES.

Both of my letters from officers were from reservists. It doesn't make any difference.

Question

Hello to all,

Currently I am trying to culminate my degree in Information System and I am planning to apply in February of 2010.

These are my issues:

- I am an active duty PO2 and because reaching my HTY is approaching soon I would like to know if I have a chance. Also, I recently sold my house under the "Short Sale" program.
- I have good letters of recommendations and in my present command

I have many collateral duties such as (CFL, Safety Officer, Training Officer, Instructor Manager, Building Manager, GTTC coordinator and DTS Coordinator). I believe that I have change to present a good package, since in these moments I am rank number one in my command and I believe that my CO can give me a good letter recommendation.

What you guys think?

I think you need to go talk to your career counselor. The #1 E-5 in your command ain't too shabby and that will certainly look good for any boards that will review you.

Do you already have a degree? Are you looking to get out and then get back in at OCS? STA-21?

We need more info to help you.

Question

Well,

I still have two more years of contract before I reach my HTY. I will finish my degree this coming December. My school told me that I should receiving a copy of my degree certify no later than January. I understand that I can apply each month in the OCS program and I am planning to apply in the month of February or March, if I receive all the papers on time.
What is your recommendation?

This, coupled with Boomhower's signature, would be CLASSIC.
