New here, sorry if formatting or any rules are broken.
I am ready to submit my 153A packet on deadline 18may18 for the July board. I am still waiting on my Battalion Commanders Lettie and he wants to introduce me to the SWO on bliss as they are good friends.
Question is here to help my anxiety. I have a 58 SIFT score and 115 GT on the AFCT (:/)the physical is all well (H2 hearing waiver has been approved by the flight surgeons at Rucker) and rest of paperwork is done to include DA photo. I am an 11B E5 sergeant and my resumes includes my CIB, EIB, commandants list from BLC and a prior soldier of the month. finally, I will have 34 credits from AMU after this physics class ends next week. Does this packet sound strong?

I have experience with the application process. For personal reasons, I decided not to move forward with the process. But, I can give some pointers based on my experience

Most WO selection boards are looking for things that indicate that you will be strong leader. Thus any key leadership indicators will be valuable. I don't know how long you have been an NCO but NCOERs that rate you high and have quantifiable rated time in leadership positions are a plus. The Commandants list and soldier of the month are also great things to have. APFT scores: the higher the better. Since you made the commandant's list at BLC, it can be assumed that you score well on the APFT.

One thing that could be important is how well you constructed your biography. I had a conversation with my Proponent Chief WO about my packet and he thought my bio needed improvement. It was not enough to just list the schools and major events in my career, but to personalize the bio by telling how I applied and used what I learned at school when I returned to my unit(s). I don't know how much difference there is between considering a wing warrant and a walking warrant, but I think at the initial part of the process..getting into the WOCC...is largely dependent on how well you sell yourself and how well you present your leadership potential.

I know you're hoping to get in, I realize that, however, you're gonna be up against every stiff completion.plus, I've read that Army WOCS is a very, very rough program!, so, purely as a packup, you might ask to be consideredmto cross train or change MOS to any of these, you know?
