Changes to SA Nominations

[Malex]

Can you tell I’m bored at work?

I’m trying to wrap my head around various ways that the entire SA & ROTC process could be done more efficiently.

An exercise in futility, but I have time to kill.

Building a better mousetrap isn’t one of Uncle Sam’s specialities, unfortunately!

After working in civilian and government jobs for decades, I believe any process needs improvement; tweaking or revision for more efficiency As far as the nomination process, the efficiency depends on the MOC office. They are given guidelines and the ability to handle their nomination process with some latitude. That process will work if MOC office is dedicated to the applicants. It looks like you got from enlisted to Academy graduate and that’s not an easy path, so it seems it worked. Each year after I completed a nomination process, I did a thorough review and looked for ways to improve. Nothing is perfect and there’s always room for that better mousetrap. The Academies appointment process is very complex. So many factors go into it to find that whole person nominee for an offer of appointment. It’s not just academics; it’s fitness; it’s leadership; it’s commitment. It may not be perfect, but every year the Academies graduate scores of fine officers ready to lead and serve our country. Kudos to each of them.

May I offer or suggest a trip to the Bacon, Cocktail or Pet threads?
