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.<br />I have gathered a base of what is required in the package but I stil have many questions about them.<br />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.<br />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.

Wish I knew someone who could help you SSgt Alex Robinson Sun, 09 Aug 2015 22:48:59 -0400 2015-08-09T22:48:59-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-need-an-officer-interview-and-recommendation-letter-for-my-package?n=877428&urlhash=877428 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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.

I&#39;m not sure about the letters of recommendation I have just asked CO&#39;S and other senior officers to write them based on my work, or you can have civilians you may know to write them as well. For instance I knew a federal judge that wrote one as well. As far as interviews you should be able to get with a command career counselor to help set those up. Let me know if you are having trouble and I will reach out to see of my Intel friends and see if they can recommend someone in your area.

Are you at a small command or something?
