DOWN by 250??!! Where are you getting that???
2600 is slightly low for a military guy, but not "on the really low side". At WAI they said 3k is competitive for a military heavy guy, 2500 if you were a fighter guy. Additionally, be sure to add the .3 sortie conversion-that might put you pretty close. From what I've seen and observed, JB is really big about you wanting to be there-you HAVE to seek them out-vets in Blue, Women in Aviation, OBAP you name it...the more they see you the better....especially if you are slightly on the low side for military hours.
That being said, have some self respect-don't paint your face blue or handout blue cookies (I'm kind of joking, but someone actually did mention the cookies as a tactic)
Good luck!
