Octagon,
You will want to think outside the box a little bit on this. Have you done any volunteer work, charity, etc... If you have kids you may have helped in the classroom or spoke at career day. Did you do scouts as a kid? If you were in the military look back at your performance reports for community service stuff. Even stratifications such as "#1 of XX officers/pilots/CGOs". You probably have stuff that you haven't thought of in a while.
If you don't have any other stuff I don't think you will be "washed out" of the process. The "extra curricular" stuff is a discriminator when all other things are equal. What I mean is, if you have the same pilot credentials as another candidate; but, the other candidate was an Eagle Scout, he will get scored higher on the application.
Good luck!
