Would an O-3 or above be willing to conduct an interview for my Navy OCS package?

487

Hi everyone! I am preparing an OCS package for SNA and was hoping to connect with individuals on this forum to help complete the officer interview portion. My application requires the interviewer to be an O-3 or above and serving on an AD or Reserve status. The interviewer can be from any branch, however someone from the Naval Aviation community would be a plus.

I am working with my Chain of Command and they have been very helpful throughout the application process, I just wanted to see if I could leverage this site to provide additional support.

Thank you for the help, please let me know if you have any questions.

Could you be a little more specific to hep draw in the right people? Does it have to be a Navy O-3 or above, or can it be someone from another military branch? Also, does it need to be a currently serving O-3 or above (AD, Reserves, NG) or can it also be a retiree?

Normal avenue of approach is through your Chain of Command.

Yes sir, I should have clarified. Most of the wardroom at my command are ENS and LTJG.

MAJ Ken Landgren - They have been very supportive from the start for which I am grateful. With many being at their first duty station, they don't have a network of naval aviators that meet the interviewer criteria to reach out to.

Surely there must be 0-3s and above in your chain of command.
