Greetings,
I am an E4 Navy Enlisted in the process of collecting my OCS package. I Have a bachelors in computer science and currently in graduate school for computer science. I still have not taken the OAR yes, I could use an advice from someone who already took it.
I have gathered a base of what is required in the package but I stil have many questions about them.
I am applying to be an intelligence officer. My biggest concern is the letters of recommendation because I don't know who to contact to present myself to earn them. And the interviews, how can I find an officer who is willing to interview me. There aren't any in my command.
I could really use some help if there is anyone who is willing to mentor me or an advice from somebody who have been through the process before.

Definitely need to talk to your Chief. Are you at a small command or something?

Sir, I am in a big command but most of the officers I know of have not been or prepared an OCS package. My chief is aware of my package preparation but I feel that the success of this process rely on my effort more than my superiors' effort.

I am a graduate of the Army OCS program. I am not familiar with the Navy's OCS program so I don't think I would be much of a help with the process. I do have a couple of questions based on your post. 1) Why are there not any officers in your command who would be willing to interview you? Do you have any issues in your service records that would cause them not to interview you? 2) Do you have any officers or warrant officers in your department that would give you a letter of recommendation? I would bet that you know one or two officers who are familiar with your work ethic that would be willing to give you a recommendation. One piece of advice I can give to you is go talk to your department heads tomorrow and ask them to assist you. They should always be on the lookout for quality sailors who want to be officers. Good luck and if you need further help let me know.

Thank you very much sit for the advice. I don't have any negative point in my service record at all. I've been in my command for only four months now and I have a very well knowledge of my workplace daily tasks. There are officers in my command who can write a letter of recommendation, but I believe that I need one from an officer who is not in my command as I was advised before. I will definitely seek your help when I get to this point after speaking to my command career counselor.
