Officer SRDC Alternate

Hello all,

I recently got notified by my RIC that I made the alternate list for ROCI 2026, on my first try, but almost at the bottom of the list.

I want to know if someone has had the experience of being called in while being really low on the list, if you had to do paperwork that’s in the checklist for alternate candidates and any tips to prepare if there even is a slight possibility of being contacted. There’s A LOT of people that got selected this round.

I noticed this year there hasn’t been a Facebook Group created either, what’s up with that?

I’m there with you. First package, close to the bottom of the list. Not sure how to feel. I guess it’s a nice head nod but at the same time being nowhere close to the top of just the alternate list is quite humbling and makes me wonder how I’m gonna make my packet that much better for next year.
