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.

PO2 (Join to see) - That doesn't answer the question that they know others. What about your XO and CO?

PO2 (Join to see) - Your interview pannel does not need to be made up of Naval Aviators. The interview is not at all geared towards whether you are a good candidate to be a Naval Aviator, it is evaluate whether you are a good candidate to be a commisioned officer. You just need 3 officers grade O-3 or higher, regardless of officer designator.

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?

While I appreciate taking the initiative, you really need to leverage the officers/Wardroom in your command to find names/points of contact for your interview. It can raise red flags for a complete stranger to reach out without having any sort of background information and even possibly raise the "concern" this person is bypassing their chain of command.
