    how long did it take you guys to get in?

    I applied in June, got accepted in December, swore in in January, went to OCS in November and finally graduate at the end of February. It took almost 2 years from the time I first started applying to the time that I became and Ensign. Don't be surprised if it takes a hell of a long time and...

    Pilots license???

    When I applied I had my license and letters of rec from 2 apollo astronauts and an active admiral. I wasn't accepted, but that was 2 years ago. I don't know what the selection competitiveness is like now. Don't let my experience keep you from applying, there could have been something in my...

    What do we wear at OCS

    no they let you shower and change after you get messy, they like the officer candidates to look clean and professional.

    OCS page w/ UNIQUE photos

    I honestly can't say whether those memos were submitted. It wouldn't surprise me but I don't honestly know. And yeah the area outside of Batt II, it used to be grassy before we showed up. Note I said used to. We affectionately called it the 10 SUYA. For those of you that were senior to us...

    Let me guess; you were in 02-04 with the same class team and you heard all about how jacked-up we were. And yeah we were jacked the f*ck up for a while.

    OCS page w/ UNIQUE photos

    If you want I could get a memo written about those faces. You have to admit, at the very least it was humerous for all the other classes to watch us get the hell kicked out of us for the first, oh, 8 weeks of OCS something like that.

    OCS page w/ UNIQUE photos

    So that's what you all thought of us in 10. We were all tight asses. That's just cause we had the wrath of the DI over us at all times. Well, and some other things that I won't get into here. Although we did kick ass on our 4th week RLP huh, lol. I have to agree the motivational ditties...

    Thought Of The Minute

    If Kellen Winslow thinks he is a soldier I would encourage him to spend some time with our boys out in San Diego in SEAL training and let them show him what work is and what soldiers really do. He definately showed that he has no class and is a mommas boy. my two cents

    punched in US Navy OCS into google and got www.usnavyocs.com and read about this site from over there and haven't been back since.

    Has anyone heard, been denied, or accepted lately?

    steve02- I realize you want to be a Marine first and foremost. Something you should consider is the BDCP program. I don't honestly know if this a Navy only program or if the Marines have it as well. It could be a great way for you to get your career off on the right foot. It is definately...

    classes in athens

    While in Athens does each class PT together or are you on your own to take care of that? How big are the classes (avg.)? Is it a cut-throat community like aviation or is it more along the lines of let's help each other do the best we can?

    Hunting & Fishing

    I just going to throw this in for all to chew on. I have read alot about how it sucks to do your flight training at Vance AFB in Enid, OK. But, for you hunter types out there that might be the best place to do it. Not 30 minutes from Vance you can have your face in arguably the best quail...

    Pushup routines??

    I have the book and I don't know what is on the website. Email me what you have and I'll cross check it and tell you the differences. My buddy has the book and followed it to the letter plus stayed very active with other activities, ie skiing (water and snow) and other outdoor sports. The one...

    Pushup routines??

    since there are so many different options out on the table now, I thought I would add my 2 cents worth. Just before I took my last pft I was recovering from a hospital stay that caused me to lose 18 pounds in 4 days. Needless to say this hurt my pushup count because I was as weak as the...

    NFO TO PILOT

    I have looked into this and talked to a CDR flight instructor who seemed to be in the know and he told me that those transfers were dealt with on a case by case basis and there aren't that many granted. Do with that what you will. I know that the book AIRWARRIORS talks about this very subject...

    I have a problem with the signature akamifeldman is using; and anyone else who uses the same things for that matter. I agree you should never do anything dumb. But, how do you advance and improve with out doing things different and ocassionally dangerously. Just a thought but I don't think...

    Personal Statement

    or when you get so pissed off trying to do it just right you could do what one guy from my recruiter's office did. He applied for SNA and this was his personal statement: "I want to join the most elite fighting force in the world, but the IRA isn't hiring!" he got accepted and is in flight...

    BDCP/OCS DEP Training and Indoc

    Sounds like wink has the best of all of us. I have been DEP since Jan 03 and haven't been contacted by my recruiter since swearing in. I don't leave for a few months and don't anticipate any contact from my (now 3rd since starting the app. process) recruiter. The guy is lazy and just does...

    Pistol quals

    Can I assume that since it is called an "M9" that it is a 9mm not 45 cal? Is M9 the civilian name as well? I didn't see them on the Beretta web site. Thanks for the help.

    Pistol quals

    I know that I have read on this site somewhere about the guns used for pistol qualifications at OCS but can't find where. Can anyone toss me a bone or tell me what I'll be using? Just curious, but I've heard both 9mm and 45 cal. and everything from Sig to HK to Beretta and I have no clue. Thanks

    Tydaddy; For what it's worth I'd say go for the SNA slot. I was offered other positions in the Air Force and turned them down with the dame dilema you are in. I know from talking to active Navy flight instructors that transferring from NFO to Naval Aviator is maybe the hardest thing to do in...

    CAPT Scott Speicher - KIA

    For those interested, I read the book on this topic a while back and it sounds like most of you know many of the details presented in the book. If you want to read it, it is called "No One Left Behind" written by Amy Walters Yarsinske. It explains all the background questions that have been...

    Has anyone heard, been denied, or accepted lately?

    I was also told by my recruiter and an Admiral here in town that there were only 14 SNA slots left for the fiscal year 2004 and that 2003 was all booked up. Just trying to get a little info and see if these folks are shooting me strait.

    Has anyone heard, been denied, or accepted lately?

    you people that have been recently selected for SNA; what were your test scores and PT scores? Just curious because I have now applied with the AF and Navy and thought I was fairly competitive and got nothing in the way of pilot slot offers.
