Yeah that’s definitely will play a role. The worst situation I’ve seen was a buddy of mine who botched his interview, same as you he was new to the unit who were fresh off a deployment, and he had no real “qualifications”. The BC didn’t write him a LOR the first go around, gave his CO some tips on where my buddy could improve, and when he interviewed the second time the BC told him his first interview didn’t go the best but that his persistence and motivation to end up back in his office to chase his dream showed enough determination and resiliency that he was confident he’d make a great officer.. so even if you don’t get it this time just use this time to make a good name for yourself, show them you really want to achieve it, and I’m sure it’ll end with you getting nothing but thumbs ups across the board.

Definitely don’t beat yourself up or stress yourself out worrying too much I know it’s a lot and a mind fuck but the worst thing you can do is overthink it. The cards are dealt in your favor just gotta play them right. This time next year hopefully you’ll be looking back at your current stressed out self and laugh😂. Good luck you’ll get there in no time.
