I was forunute enough to be selected this year. All others, congrats, and those who weren’t, keep pushing and keep leading. I wanted to dispel some common rumors you may have heard about what you “need” to have to be selected. Long story short, I was told I had no business applying.
1. I was NOT #1 overall for CO endorsement. Not sure where I ranked but definitely not number 1.
2. I did NOT receive all 10’s on my appraisals
3. I had a break in applications. Applied FY 16 FY 17 skipped 18 and reapplied in 19.
4. I have not gotten an EP(minus transfer) since 2012, as a first class and Chief.
If anyone wants me to look at their package or ask any questions, feel free to message me.
again, keep pushing and your time will come
