HELPFUL HINTS for 4060s

No Laundry-List Use all 50 lines FULLY JUSTIFY your scores…

Verbiage has to match the numerical scores Review your 1-2-3 scores List of “good questions” Last number is not an average ALO scores might not get them in…but it can keep

them out Need at least 3 contacts (phone contact – OK) Quotes are excellent… DONT embarrass the ALO force

CONGRESSIONAL TRAINING

Get to know your Rep and/or Congressional Liaison Oct - Nov for personal interviews AF nominations are the tightest Tons of “freshman” that are still learning the process… Recommend that the candidates apply to all sources My recommendation: DON’T interview kids that have not

started the application process…coordinate with LOD on kids with nothing done in their package
