No Interview for Active Duty Applicants

[CG.Mech]

Admittedly, as I progressed through the whole process as a sister service applicant I thought the entire time there would be a face to face interview with a "board" of people.

I thought that I submitted my packet, once board ready I would receive an interview date, and then after the interview the results of that interview would be attached to my packet and sent for final review where it would be found Q-S, Q-NS, NS.

Imagine my embarrassment when I emailed the Warrant Officer Recruiting team to inquire when I would receive my interview date. They seemed confused by my question but told me that everything is electronic and "once the packet is board ready no further action is required on part of the member."

It was then that I learned that the interview is only for civilian applicants. I just always assumed there would be an interview for active duty applicants as well!!!

Thought I'd share because I never saw ANYTHING to suggest otherwise and apparently I'm not a smart enough cookie to have figured it out myself before hand.

So there ya go!

Anybody else? haha

I could understand that for sister service applicants. In service Army though, the letters of recommendation pretty much cover what would be the interview.
