Hey everyone! I honestly can’t believe this thread blew up so much. I’m glad it did though!
I was on here early on, and unfortunately I announced I was not able to apply due to not having my enlisted community manager signed off. For those that care, I’ve gone through an O7 for help and even he couldn’t help. It’s been a huge ordeal.
Mr. Ruiz has been amazing and they actually pushed me through interviews with the hopes of maybe someone somewhere able to pull on the right string. Guess I’ll find out next week with y’all!
If it’s similar to last year, emails for selection will come out to everyone within a 6-8 hour time frame. I’m going to ballpark it for Tuesday, as that’s how it went down the last 2 years.
If you’re not selected, the debrief you get with Mr. Ruiz will be INVALUABLE. So, even if you’re not selected, you will be given resources and guidance to push forward.
Something else that helped me from not being selected last year was defining a goal for the next cycle. For me, that was taking online classes with Sophialearning.com. My issue was my GPA, and for 200$ ($100/month$) I competed 33 credit hours in 2 months (undergrad geneds, just to show I can still learn since my degree is from 2014).
