RUFIO has put out that if SWO isn't 1st or 2nd it isn't considered
Yep, see that now. Thanks for the response though. Can't begin to describe how angry I am right now that he told me to swap SWO to 3rd on my submission, since among other things I suspect it means the entire package including DD370s will have to be redone.
Meet with him tomorrow, but I don't even know what to say at this point. If he's right, and SWO closes for the FY after this (I bet it does with that selection rate), it'll be a minimum of 2 years from start to selection for me, going back to November of '13. At this point though I don't even know if I trust him to handle all of that. Anyone know anything about getting someone outside of your regional OR to help you with things? I'd be willing to drive to another major city if need be.
Anyway, enough about me. Congratulations to those who were selected (and my apologies for forgetting that in my original post). Best of luck, and I hope to see you all next year.
