I am an AGR (active duty National Guard) NCO working in Logistics for the past three years on a Brigade staff (for context, our Brigade consists of ~1,500 Soldiers and has units spread across Texas). Logistics was never my passion; after years of searching I have gained a strong interest in the consulting industry and wish to pursue a career in it.

Your 760 GMAT score deserves a ramrod erect salute! Well done, particularly for a history major from Texas State. How in the world did a poet like you get a quant score like that? In any case, your experience in the military with logistics suggest you were much more in a business/management role than a military one. And your big life wins show that you have compiled an enviable record of achievements. With an MBA in arm and that jumbo GMAT score, I would think an MBB firm would love to have you as a new employee. Good luck at Booth. I do think your chances there are pretty darn good.
