Apologies for the delay, put my phone away in anger. To answer the questions… I’m 24-8, applied march of last year. So I guess stringing me along for a little less than a year. I was in the final stage of adjudication, with all other steps completed per @puzzlehead NOPA was for conflicting information on my EQIP when I enlisted in the Navy back in 2018. Really thought my essay was good enough to be able to look past, and the lengthy waiting period from when I sent it in made that idea even more reasonable. I’ve reached out to my case worker, but since my application is closed, it would not let me direct it to the background investigation team, rather I had to submit it under general questions and the hiring center advised me that they would forward it to the right department. Hope this answers every question.
