Just extra effort that may not show any results on your part.
Remember, the package will be setting in front of every member of a board. Many, if not most, of these board members will be military in some way, shape, or form. The ability to follow orders determines the ability of every one who has ever been a part of the military, to succeed. While some staff member that you have called might see nothing wrong with padding the package with a few extra sheets of paper, they don't necessarily have to digest a dozen or so of them some morning, one every 15 minutes or so. I would be very very hesitant to do anything other than exactly what is published, no more, no less.
Being a little glib, aren't we? Of course, the board's job is not to train. However, the board's job is to weigh certain attributes and ascertain their validity in the probability of success at the SAs.While every member of the nomination team are associated with the military in some shape or form, we fully understand that for the most part, those that are applying are not. We as a team are looking for the best PEOPLE. Not Robots.
Our job is not to train the people, but to find the best in our MOC District for the Service Academies.
I have seldom heard another board member wax poetic about a candidate while each and every example of not being able to follow instructions is definitely pointed out
He was speaking about the MOC board he sits on.For my MOC, our instructions are a little gray in this regard.
