Did any FS's put their Recruiting Package in, if so did you get a phone call yet??

Yes, I was not released from rate because they said there was a shortage of FSOs.

When did you put your packet in?? Last year or this year?? I won't know until the end of May. Word on the street is that they are really hurting for Recruiters in 09.

Yes, they may be short Recruiters; however, the FS community is hurting just as bad if not more. Keep in mind there are a lot more BM's and MK's that can fill the positions! Good luck and congratulations IF you get it...although I would not hold your breath. Best of luck!

BBooBBoo-
How did you get the CC job after leaving Flag Mess? My sea time alone has to count for something.

It all depends on who is sitting in the chair making the decisions. I had to go through the same process as everyone that applied. Flag Mess is prioriy 3. Yes, seatime should be a deciding factor in being released or not. Just like you I don't make the decisions...we just have to live with them.
