I agree!CW over SWO anyday.
aside from the work life balance, what makes you say that?CW over SWO anyday.
As you said the worklife balance is a huge difference. CW tend to get better treatment (from what I saw in my 10 yrs) and most important of all, if you retired or decided to get out and wanted to continue a civilian career, CW will take you further. I currently work with a few retired and separated CWs (O3/O4/O5) and they all came in right out of the Navy making big bucks. Plus, the billets for CW are way better than SWOs billets. At least for me it is. Others might not think that way.aside from the work life balance, what makes you say that?
Selected for CW with the following stats:
Age: 23
Degree: B.A. in Middle Eastern Studies with concentrations in Governance and Arabic. Worth noting here that I have credits for Calc 1-3, and Physics 1 and 2.
GPA: 3.5
Prior Service: No, but was a USMC OCS med drop - unclear if that affected application.
Waivers: None
LORs: One from boss from a federal job. Another from a peer who is an Army NCO.
Originally set to ship out in July, but asked for and was approved to leave for the class that convenes at the end of this month. Thank you all for the motivation, knowledge, and camaraderie.
*Edited to add that OAR was 58.
