153A Packet needs strengthening?

2019-07-30T22:04:34-04:00

I am currently submitting a 153A packet. I was at the July board but not selected I am trying to improve my packet. I believe it was because my resume has little to nothing in it as I have not been in long. I am also being promoted on the first do I need to redo the packet at my new rank? And any tips to make an all around stronger packet are greatly appreciated.
Sift 50
Gt score 115
No college working on that now
Letters of recommendation are solid as I work directly for the COL that wrote my battalion level reccomendation. I am also not in a typical unit, we do not have a battalion. Could that be part of the reason?

If you’d like, I could review your resume. Send me a PM if so.

Complete some classes, that will def make it a little stronger, make sure you have someone review your resume you just may have to make a few tweaks, and my suggestion get more recommendation letters, travel outside, get of your comfort zone and hit up the closest army aviation unit and find the CWO5’s yourself. Be confident and ensure you packet is squared away. Keep at it, you’ll get there.

Without looking at your packet, I'd suggest getting some civilian flight hours and improving your PT score (if you haven't already). Most everything else is going to take longer if you aren't already working on it. That said, look over your packet for any grammatical errors and avoid using passive language. Lastly, keep working to improve your enlisted career. Even if you get make it at the next board, it could take a several months to end up at Rucker.

Just wondering, did you put your BCT and AIT and whatever else fields you've been to into your 3.2? I personally didn't have much compared to other people who've been deployed, but I put as much as I could as well as some civilian stuff like leadership positions in high school as well. What else can you think of to put on there in similar regard?
