First off, I am not trying to sound pompous or pretentious in this post, just asking for some opinions.
I received a letter saying that I did not pass an oral board in the mail today. I am concerned that there could be a mix up and I want to get it straightened out. So far, in my pursuit to be an officer I have taken 3 oral boards (and 1 firefighter oral board). I was also in the military and did countless Soldier of the Month boards as well as promotion boards. I am very comfortable at boards and have never not passed an oral board. I have never even scored in the bottom half of scores (when rankings where given).
So the letter that I got, not only did I not pass, I did not even come close.
There were a lot of people at the oral board, and names can get switched up, I am sure. Maybe some numbers got inverted, maybe someone's addition was off or maybe I just sucked it up that day. I came out of there very comfortable and was sure I did an awesome job.
Is there anyway to ask the civil service commission to double check my score and names? Does a FOIA cover this? Am I just sounding to whiney? Has anyone ever encountered this?
Any advice? Thanks.
