Keep asking. Back in the day I had a saying "They only have to say yes once" My main reason for getting my commission is that it meets my "one least idiot rule" just like when I pull up to a red light, I always get in the shortest line. Good luck and I am sure you will make a fine officer.

What part of the process of application are you in or are you just getting some background before you start the process?

If you do become an officer, "Don't forget to remember where you came from, "Enlisted."

Be yourself at the board. The people sitting on the board can see right through any "fakeness" that you may portray (not you necessarily, just relaying what I have heard from board members). Your package got you to the board so you are obviously qualified.
