...and I thought I would make a post for all those people wondering if their package is good enough.
My package was accepted by Supply about two weeks ago and it is still pending on Crypto and Intel. I have not yet signed on the dotted line or even taken the physical (obviously due to the holidays and partly due to my lack of preparation
). I know there are a few more hurdles to endure but I’m fairly confident.
Now down to the hard, cold details.
GPA: 3.5
Major: Computer Information Systems
Minor: Business Administrations.
Academic Awards: Deans list once.
Clubs, etc: Student chapter of AITP.
Position Held: Secretary.
Letters of Recommendation: Faculty sponsor for AITP. My best friends father who was in SF for 18+ years.
ASTB Scores: Unfortunately I forgot the details but it was “average” according to my recruiter.
Other Possible Considerations: Was active with sports in High School and received awards. My brother is currently in the Marines (in Iraq), one Grandfather was in the Navy and the other in the Army.
I thought my package was fairly “average” but apparently the board thought otherwise. Something to take from this post: Don’t fret every little thing. I was going to take the test again but as my recruiter said, “They are either going to accept your package or they are going to reject it. You can always take the test again.” Some of you may not feel as comfortable as I am with turning in a slightly flawed package, but I at least had to turn something in otherwise I was going to put it off for another 6-months. Unfortunately you can’t always be perfect and I accepted that.
I hope this helps. If nothing else you can use this as a fair comparison to your package. I wish you all luck in whatever you do!
