For the 170As out there, what are some of the things that you think made your warrant packet stand out?

I am a 25D and getting my packet together for 170A. I was wondering what are some of the things that current 170As think made them stand out.

Also I want to ask what are some of the things you think I should study to prepare, if I do get picked up.

I'm not a 170A but am transitioning to 17C and serving in a unit with 170s so providing a bit of feedback until those who have had successful packets processed. I can say it is definitely becoming far more competitive to be picked up. My warrants are reclassing from one of the 25X series for the majority of them, and even they're encountering issues transferring over to 170. I know one 25B who will be going to WOCS next month who will be a 170 and she's very strong with her IT background. Also in an existing Cyber unit, we have highly technical CW4s that provided good recommendations for her. I've attached a portion of a slightly older version of the WO Basic and Advanced timelines from a Power Point I have from my S3 of all of our training pipelines. I think I have it on my Google drive and can provide a link later or can email it to you.
