Well, unfortunately the results were released the day after I went on my holiday leave. I have no way to check bupers until I get back unless any of you have ideas. I guess I'll enjoy my leave and have something to look forward to when I get back to work. Congrats to everyone who got selected!
I actually own a CAC reader, but after hours of trying to make it work it finally beat me. Who knows, maybe my command will call me if it gets released through message traffic.
i was speaking with a supply commander (who also interviewed me and swore me in) that was on the selection board....
he said if you have any blemish on your record such as debt delinquency, IRS, very minor offenses where cops were involved, etc....that they didn't even bother looking at your package no matter how good your OAR/GPA was.
they turned down someone with a OAR of 73 from Stanford....and they also accepted one with a OAR of 49
they look at the whole character...where you came from...what you have accomplished...business degree prefered...and an unblemished record
ALL candidates are extremely competitive. students with business degrees were the most affected group of the recent recession so there's a lot of them joining the military....they are also one of the better qualified as supply officers
GOOD LUCK
Well, I must say that this is a little discouraging! I am pursuing a BSBA Business Management, have a 4.0 GPA, 22 years old non-prior, good LORs, volunteered (Habitat for Humanity, Susan G. Komen, Animal Shelter), 51 OAR, Work Experience (Inventory Lead and Warehouse Lead both in distribution facilities), but do not have an "unblemished" record. I am really trying for supply, but reading this seems as if I wouldn't even get a look.

- I think it just depends on who looks at you, the LS1 I helped out had waivers to enter in the military because of background as well as early career trouble. He was picked up. If you can show progress and change of character, I feel that could change others opinions.
Hurry up and wait. U.S. military 101So it doesn't look like there is going to be any news today.
