You have a solid shot. As many of the admins will tell you, you have a 0% chance if you don't apply. I also had a degree in Criminal Justice (3.8 GPA) and a 50 OAR. For SWO I don't see anything in your package that needs obvious improvement. I was selected on the June 2019 board and just graduated OCS in December. Good luck to you!
Hey brother, it sounds like you’ve had one hell of a ride in the military. In some ways it seems you’ve had a toe in almost every branch, that give you an out look that most don’t have (positive) but it may also give the perspective that you’re not 100% committed to anyone thing. I will admit thT I was not the most competitive candidate for my board but I was Selected. I think (speculation) my package was not focused on a job/ community. I was focused on leadership and leading Sailors, at the end of the day regardless of what community belongs to (a fact that should not matter) your number one priority should be mentorship, leadership, and how your going to make the Navy better by your selection as an Officer. (again speculation/ opinion) but I wish you the best on the board!
The supersedes just means that it will meet the requirement of being above a certain GPA. The cumulative GPA is what makes you competitive. Based on your current id say its around a 2.8-2.9 which is far from competitive for intel, not to mention the degree is not ideal. But you never really know who they would select from board to board and you have 0% if you dont try. From what ive read the PFAR and FOFAR are slightly low, i think they look for 7s, ive seen mix of 6 and 7s make it. I would add in SWO instead of intel if you arent picked up for your boards and you apply again.
I’m in no way a expert on this matter and my advice my be a waste of your time. But the first question is did you try to hide or rather leave it out of your package for making Chief? If not then I would say not to leave it out of an Officer package. Second I think that as others may have said if you address it in your personal statement it shows your not trying to hiding anything and you have taken accountability for something that happened a long time ago. I’d say own your shit and show how your better from the event. Again I’m probably not qualified to answer this question.
@1812TC do you have any experience you can share on this matter? Don’t mean to call you out but I remember you having a similar situation.
I did not mention in my statement about my 8 year old DUI, only submitted my waiver detailing it, owning it and telling how I would never do it again and what I’ve learned from it. Was a pre-Rec N “DNR”. This time, I’m touching on it in my statement, my Lt Col wrote about how overcoming adversity has developed me into a better leader because of it, so we’ll see how the SWO board feels about it here in the next few days. Any adversity down to a Pg 11 up to a NJP is briefed all the way to E9 in the Marine Corps, it hasn’t stopped me from getting E7 within 11 years but has prevented me from my first and only chance at flight. All of my fitreps are phenomenal, combat deployement under my belt, never any other adversity besides a single DUI that was in a break in service after I separated after Afghanistan and was still allowed to come back on active duty and continue promoting. There’s my whole story, not that it matters, take it with a grain of salt, these boards are literally however that officer is feeling that day. Guys got picked up with duis on the board prior to mine that I missed due to processing error, then I receive DNR on the next board. Your guess is as good as mine. But I’d say touch on it in your statement if you have a waiver for it
