Brady's whole philosophy in life is to give his very best, so he put every bit of energy into his navy career, I think he spent about 2 or 3 months studying for the SAT and ACT, he raised his scores quite a bit (I know for sure he raised his ACT score 6 points from high school). He planned on apply for the STA-21 before he was eligible (several of his commanding officers told him he should apply). I know he met with several people who had gone through the program or who had been interviewers to learn more about the process. They normally find out results in OCT (i think) but it was well into Nov (because of governmental funding). Brady found out on DEP in the middle of the ocean.

Thanks for sharing that, I've seen cases that it has taken three and four applications. Our son is prepared not to make it the first time but we can still hope for the best.

Mary, yes, Brady got selected on his first application and he got his pilot option (he's a rescue swimmer so he's always been in the back of the helo he wanted to get up front!!!). Good luck to every one who has interviews. I remember he was so stressed out.

Yay Carol. I'm sure he will do great with the Captain.
Whitney --- Did Brady get selected his first application or ??
