I've had an app in for 8+ years and still have yet to get the invite with DAL. DAL has interviewed some and given the CJO and we are scratching our heads wondering "they hired that person!" Then they turn down some that have been stellar candidates.
Some do deserve the second shot. I personally lose out through this since they would get to my number quicker, but some really amazing guys both civ/mil have lost out to factors beyond their control. A recruiter informed me that they can't take but so many DCI guys due to killing their feed. Just my two cents, but the second time around if they are really bad I'm sure that will be seen, but some deserved it the first time and I'm glad they get another shot.
