I'm stuck in Chicago. I won't be in until 2200 at the earliest :eek: I have to say thanks to the USO, though... it makes Chicago not so bad.

Nope I'm flying... few more days of leave. I'm tempering myself to the cold here in the Midwest. It's -10 at midday. Newport should be nice compared to this.

Its not moist and delicious.

Way too many resources. I'm following the info from the docs on the front of the STA-21 website and my orders.

I think that is almost every command. :icon_wink I wish and hope that more people would realize the Navy/Military is what you make of it. The civilian sector is more of the same. //End rant

//threadjack Arizona is becoming a ghost town with the new law of prosecuting the employers of illegals. //end threadjack This could really use it's own thread... I don't think many illegals are going to NSI...

I found the info online about California and instate tuition, I forgot where. Basically if said if you are on orders to California for the purpose of education you don't qualify for instate. That's why my choices dropped to Colorado and Arizona, and I'm going to Arizona. I was down there the...

Ah yes, I'm just lucky enough to go to NSI. No BOOST for me... I'll let you guys know how summer school is...

I had none... it's the whole package that gets you selected.

My orders have a report NLT FEB 17 and NET FEB 16. I'm flying in the afternoon of the 17th.

I run 4 miles every night in my sleep! :D 3.2 mile is a joke.:icon_wink Who wants to go for a few 13 mile runs while we're there? Oh wait it's RI in Feb, it's freezing outside! BRRRRRRRR! Best of luck to everyone preparing, we still have a good 40 days before the indoc PFA.

PT... what's that? :D

No. Not even considering it.

So is Arizona in the middle of BFE? They have AF base... It's a nuke approved school... for all you nukes out there. :D

You all are just messing with my/our emotions! Yes! No! Today, two weeks! :icon_tong We'll get 'em when we get 'em. I just hope it's before the 15th of Feb.:D Anyone else over here in Europe? I'm looking forward to trying to get commercial airline tickets to coincide with the arrival of a MAC...

Haven't you heard of HUAW? Hurry up and wait. It's the Navy way. ... I suppose it would be the same schedule as the rest of the government, so they're back today.:confused:

Sorry no advice but, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I have. But it was my website when I was developing the php/mysql (database) backend. They just haven't suppressed the debug errors yet. I agree it would look prettier if it just said "Sorry Site Broken." :D No less frustrating though.

Not to be a kill joy but it looks like you have to wait another year or so to to apply. I think that if you have shown great personal and professional growth in learning from this it could help your package. It doesn't sound like you had an incident, that's good. The boards look at the whole...

And different info... under Board Results - "to participate in the FY 07" :D

Maybe I should go for a SNA slot... :D

Well here’s a start on some of the points I’ve come across and discovered. Application/Package If you are thinking of putting in a package, put one in! I was going to wait until next year when I had more ‘experience’ under my belt. I’m glad I didn’t wait. Get as many people...

Welcome to the club.:D

Guess we better start posting something good.... I'll get on that... :D

Nothing for me yet. Looks like it may be first come first serve as in when everything was received. You physical was received a week or so before mine.

I was looking at California schools until I found the same info. I wasn't going to pay 15k+ out of pocket. California likes to stick it to the military I guess. Well their loss.

As per the instruction you have to extend/reenlist to 6 year prior transferring. "Obligated Service. Prior to execution of orders to NSI or BOOST, you must sign a 6‑year active service obligation. You can do this by either extending or reenlisting, as necessary." I get to extend 2 years...

It's a database... The website pulls it's data from hopefully a central source. It's another glitch like the one earlier this year. That one was fun. ;)

According to other posts it was advised that orders should take 10 days from the date requested. Anyone from privious years have any input on that? So maybe by Christmas. What a nice Christmas present. :D Then a little over a month to get everything in order and checkout.

Physical/Placement Information Physical Info was received on: 6 Nov 2007 Your Physical Status is: QUALIFIED as of: 27 Nov 2007 Medical Comments: Your HIV date is: 15 Oct 2007 Physical sent to BUMED: 6 Nov 2007 Degree Plan: Valid Degree Plan Comments: School Acceptance: Yes Page 13: Received...

Well according to earlier posts the first wave looks like it will be around the 15th, right near the deadline. I've submitted my paperwork for 2 schools. One will take about 24 months, the other 36. I wonder which the Navy will send me to? :icon_wink I can't wait to have orders in hand.

Can't you get dropped if the school is 'full'? NAVADMIN 256/07 "APPLICATION TO MORE THAN ONE UNIVERSITY IS ADVISABLE SINCE ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF SELECTEES WILL BE PLACED AT EACH NROTC UNIT."

I'm in the same shape here. But there is still hope, 5 working days left till the first week of December. . .

Wow, finally some positive SWOs. I've been thinking of going SWO, but I have a little over a year before I choose (read get voluntold). My Senior Chief came and talked to me the other day and ask which designator I wanted, and then said don't go SWO. SWO sounds like a lot of work, but I didn't...

The good news is we still have a week to get physicals in/back and get our school paperwork in. I'm just waiting on BUMED. So how's PT going for everyone? Anyone for a 8:30 mile and a half?

Been 2 weeks for me and nothing as of yesterday. I think they lost it again.

Can we round up? I have 1.5. Two years in May......

Makes sense Chief, but still confusing in regards to the selection board process, the instruction/NAVADMIN and what was posted earlier about graduating by 29 for CORE. I say better safe than back to the fleet as 'that guy'. I may ask the STA-21 office as my backup school will put me over the 27...

As they should. One of the favorable selection criteria, as I understand, is being able to complete the program is less than 36 months.

Confusing... It states in the instruction that waivers have to be requested. OPNAVINST 1420.1A - CO's Rec By my signature I certify that this candidate meets program eli*gibility requirements and that any waiver request(s) has been addressed in my endorsement letter. NAVADMIN 063/05 - Pilot...

Lucky3 did you ask for a waiver in your package? I was under the impression that you had to graduate by your 27th unless you had a wavier for CORE. As per STA-21 website under Eligibility Requirements: "Be able to complete degree requirements and be commissioned prior to the 27th...

2nd class for me... the advancement was about 45%... I think I should be more excited...

How does that work transferring between the NROTC cross town affiliates? I may need to go to Pima for the summer then to U of A in the fall all due to a U of A debacle.

I had mine physical done a while a go. I think the mail lost it. Now I find that they actually prefer the paperwork emailed from those of us 'lucky' enough to be stationed overseas. And no I don't get the AIP..... Finishing up my degree plan... should be back out to the fleet Sept 2010.

One of the most informative posts I've read in a while. Thanks!

Everyone, then later at a certain pay grade you apparently can drop the V. ;)

Roger that, although I have a 8 hour time difference. Guess I shouldn't complain too much, I'm not in Japan.

As I've said in another post I'm trying to goto U of Arizona. Next choice is Colorado Boulder, and finally Minnesota. I wanted a California school, but tuition is too high. So far the only NROTC to respond my emails is U of A.

I am thinking that Computer Science is still my calling. I've been working on it since 2000 through 4 different colleges. Now I get to goto my 5th :D. Talk about a transcript nightmare though.

And to think I put a comment in my personal statement to the effect of positively influencing fellow mids at school.
