    How to find medical records from defunct hospitals

    At MEPS, they gave me the whole, "tell us everything because we'll find out anyway" speech. I told them everything. I got into a bunch of trouble in high school (pretty normal stuff, I just didn't get away with much) plus bad grades so my parents sent me to Charter mental hospital until the...

    How to find medical records from defunct hospitals

    I need to find medical records from my childhood. In one case, the hospital is bankrupt and closed. In another case, I may have gotten phsychiatric counselling when a relative attempted suicide. They want records. What happens if I can't find them? Can I get a phsychiatric evaluation, show it to...

    What makes the ideal LOR

    That was my suspicion, but I told the writer I'd check first.

    What makes the ideal LOR

    Do LOR's need to be signed? I had one emailed to me, so I need to know if I should ask him to sign and mail it.

    Some weakness, I need good advice

    He said I blew it away and didn't need to worry about taking it again. I asked him about the 5 and he said not to worry 'cause people come in all the time and get 2s and 3s. The pc I tested on was slow. I figure I lost 2 minutes on each section of the OAR due to page loading. I suppose if I'm...

    OCS beatings and odd exercises

    That makes sense. I've always had difficulty with pull-ups and I read a post somewhere that said something about a maximum of 170 something "curl-ups." I'm hoping that means sit-ups and not pull-ups, but I thought I'd ask. Can anyone confirm whether or not pull ups are a regular exercise, or...

    OCS beatings and odd exercises

    I understand running, pushups and situps will be part of the beatings and exercises, but what other exercises will be the main things to prepare for? Will there be pull ups?

    Some weakness, I need good advice

    Scores Took the ASTB today. I got there and learned that I had to take ALL portions of the test. I had intended, and only studied for, the OAR. Here's the results: Academic Qualification Rating(AQR): 7 Pilot Flight Officer Rating(PFAR): 8 Naval...

    How is the ASTB scored?

    So, based on the curve & scale above, a combined % OAR score would be about 56 the way the Navy measures, right? 90% = 62 20% = 42 ??? Just want to make sure I'm understanding this.

    Some weakness, I need good advice

    What, no criticisms? Ok, how about some more questions: I've read on the forums that surgeries can jeopardize your chances. I had my gall bladder removed? Anybody know if that will hurt me or require a waiver? Also, I've seen people post prt stats like low, mid and high. I just ran 1.5...

    Some weakness, I need good advice

    Yes, I've seen the other letters. Here's what I've got. It's a first draft, a little long and I need to better structure the paragraphs, but here goes: If someone had told me anytime before the last few weeks that I would be applying for OCS, I would not have believed it. For me, the...

    Some weakness, I need good advice

    ea6b said "jobS you want." Are you saying it will hurt me to focus on say AMDO while expressing an interest in any commission? Also, any input on the question I had about posting my declaration of intent?

    Some weakness, I need good advice

    That was what my master chief friend said, so I asked the recruiter if he told me that because of best-fit or because they were the only options. He said it was my only option. I'm giving serious thought to posting my letter of intent for review, criticism and whatever input I can get. But...

    What makes the ideal LOR

    What is the ideal length in words? My thoughts are to get LOR's from: -a recently ret. master chief who I've worked with at a civilian job (I actually trained him) and who is a personal friend -my most recent boss at my current employer -a professor -my pastor (who can attest to a...

    Some weakness, I need good advice

    Can anyone verify this? I want to be sure I'm aware of any possible open door to a commission. The recruiter chief said it was only intel or crypto.

    Some weakness, I need good advice

    This encouragement is great. Thanks. I should say that the recruiter chief said that right now they are looking at people with 3.7-8 gpa's ( I assume 3.9 and 4.0's too).

    Some weakness, I need good advice

    correction I started going to school on active duty, but I didn't get a BA until a little over a year ago. The wife, kids and full time electronics job with mandatory overtime slowed me down some. The officer recruiter I was put in contact with is actually a chief. He's the one that told me...

    Some weakness, I need good advice

    I'm prior service (AT2, 4yrs honorable), and I have a BA w/ English major. I had enlisted under the JOBS program that put people with questionable academic backgrounds (I had dropped out of HS and got a ged) in a prep type class for good A schools. I graduated at the top of every class I was in...
