The Officer Recruiter is in...

[Halstead]

Whatever it takes. I'm committed.

 

[Halstead]

Also....I have no issues getting deployed.

Like I said. I'm all in.

 

[Bronco]

Why aren't you applying for SEALs then? I don't think intel is the career path for you...

Great idea!

 

[FutureSuppo]

LOL! Alright, you got me! I actually thought this thread was real. Silly me!!!

 

[Mr Spenz]

If he wants me to train as a female SEAL..I have no issue with that.
If he wants me to participate and get waterboarded in SERE training...I have no issue with that.

I want a full 20 yr. career with the Navy...the rest is out of my control.

Females can't be SEALs.

 

[Halstead]

right.

Best of luck to you as you wrap up your package.

Uh, phrasing

 

[exNavyOffRec]

Well I like you in the Nike sports bra...could help in the application

hello to my new screensaver

 

[Sache]

So Intel is selective b/c the age restriction is milder than other boards...which means a bigger pool? Same for IW?

Seem like they would want a younger person in their 20s than someone in their 40s who would be close to retiring soon. I guess that only applies to the pilots.

No, Intel/IW/IP programs are selective because hundreds of people apply and they only take anywhere from 10-40 people a year. Many people seek these programs as a way to get a TS-SCI clearance and work at NSA, FBI, CIA, etc. upon completion of service. Additionally, most selectees are either prior service or active duty.

Age has nothing to do for why IDC programs are so selective.

So they use the Navy as a stepping stone and bump lifers out potentially

 

[Halstead]

I cannot what if this to death.

I do my part. You do yours.
Everybody is happy!

One of the most impressive tandem forum posts/uses of popular culture ever. Well done.

I wouldn't question the service ambitions of those around you - they are just as valuable as you, despite some desiring to move on after four years. However you feel about the four-and-done crowd, they still served four years of their life in the Navy, which is something that deserves respect.

If you are selected/commissioned, you agree to a four year commitment with the Navy. A lot can happen in those four years that you cannot foresee at the outset. You may be 100% focused on being a lifer, but other opportunities may come along, or you may find that it's not all that and a bag of chips. I'd focus more on making your application as good as it can be before you submit to a board. Good luck on your OAR, and I would suggest toning it down a bit on these boards. The enthusiasm is great, but there's no need to be hostile towards the recruiters who are here on their own time giving people advice.
