It's ok if they hold it against me though - I wouldn't have it any other way. If they want me to switch teams, I'd be happy to, but not if I have to take even more time away from my family to make it happen. Has anyone been hired without volunteer work?
You have done everything and more to already have gotten a call. Volunteerism isn't (or wasn't if they aren't asking for it now) something that's required, but is something that adds to the totality of your resume that can be replaced by many other things. Got a DFC, but no volunteering, you've gotten that beat. Leadership roles, EP, etc. Check. If you haven't had someone else look at your application and it has been more than a year hanging out there, I'd recommend doing so.
