Request name change to JMonte85.

Although you could of been more professional in stating your opinion. I don't think there is anything wrong these days with using "haha" as an expression for laughing on an internet forum.. Whats the difference between that and the smiley faces offered on here people use?

I say this without disrespect, but I scratch my head on this one. Wouldn't that only account for LOR's? Why would it be better to have them know you.. It's obviously going to be a biased result. It was pretty much those pieces of paper that got me selected the second time (they did not...

I had told them about the Acid Reflux from day 1. I told them on the prescreen before meps I was taking Prilosec OTC, and then I told them at meps I had seen a doctor for it and was prescribed Prevacid.. and even wrote it on the medical form at meps, including doctor visits.. I did everything I...

Either the doc was retiring and no longer cared.. Or he took into consideration the difference between my position and the job I'm going for as opposed to mass enlisted potentials who flow through the doors everyday. Really don't know.. Was pretty surprising to me as well.

Congrats man btw. Nope, nothing yet. I was on the secondary list though.. So I don't expect any news for a couple months.

I think he was just being a dick... Because don't you have to take the depth perception test again at OCS? What good will it do you if you have no depth perception but some guy at meps got you in. The machine sucks, and so does the attitudes of some people at meps. I get their strategy, if you...

When did you get upgraded to an actual slot?

I failed F.. Made it to E.. At F I didn't see any difference and there was about a 30 seconds pause of silence when i got to F before the guy said I was done.

If they won't hold one for another year, then that must mean they are dipping into the alternate selections from August for sure.. That or they cut the slots majorly due to the end of our time in Iraq.

Depends on the needs of the branch. If they are hurting for people in an area they open it up more. Just like enlisted.. One month someone can get a waiver for a shoulder injury and next month someone could go for the same waiver and get rejected. Because of the economy the recruiting services...

Pretty cool to watch, I was at the Chicago one this summer too. Thanks for sharing!

Even though it's Air Force :rolleyes:, still pretty cool. Looks like this will be the new transport to the space station soon, "possibly." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45484286/ns/technology_and_science-space/t/secretive-air-force-space-plane-nears-orbital-record/

o The U.S. Navy has always been a major influence on my life through the stories I heard from my grandfather, and which were passed down through my father. The stories of his secondary duty assignment as a rear gunner in an SBD Dauntless during WWII is what awakened my drive to serve in the...

No other Alternate selects selected yet?

As others have stated 1.5yrs is a little accessive. And are you able to get your own doc? If you tell the doctor your passion and dreams.. and explain the situation and you currently are fine they usually are sympathetic for you. When I had to get a write up for my acid reflux, the specialist...

What do you mean it's the promised land?

When I crewed 16's at Luke AFB they had pilots over there training from Singapore (have been for a while now). Their jets had the same hump on the spine.. Block 52's I think were there at the time.. this was in 2003-2004. Jet above is a 52 from Singapore//

I submitted my application with 2 Naval Aviator interviews, and an ASTB of 58 7 7 6... I mean your scores are not hideous but they also are not stellar either. Neither were mine, but I was afriad I'd do worse if I retook the test. So I guess it depends on how comfortable you feel with the...

I structured mine like this.. To Whom It May Concern: Paragraph 1: Since hearing of my non selection in late October, I have been proactively improving ... I states all my new additions to the package in this paragraph Paragraph 2: at the time I was accepted for grad school and was starting...

When you have your security interview, can't you just tell the interviewer and be done with the drinking ticket issue? The only thing is on your application to the pilot board it does asked if you've been charged with a crime to include drug or alcohol use. I think the main thing is just being...

Yea I had a recruiter who kept telling me to retake my astb as well after being a non-select once.. Whether he was right or not, I told him I didn't want to risk going lower and told him I was happy with strengthening other areas in my package and leaving the astb scores alone. I scored 58 7 7...

Well as long as they let me bring my skirt I guess I have to now ;) But seriously, I get what all of you are saying and I respect and thank all of you for your opinions and taking your time to respond. I think I'm over the little hiccup and back on track.. I just needed to figure some of that...

Well I'd hope that isn't the case for me, but I will follow up if that does happen. Good luck on your situation, I'm sure you will be fine just seems routine.

All valid points, Thank you.

So I went to meps the other day and I want to tell you my list of issues I had.. From lots of research that all pointed to me probably needing three or four waivers and possibly PDQ with no waiver.. and maybe even a psych eval for Alcohol, I want to show you that you can't always beleive what...

I know what you mean.. times are different I guess, it's just those bad memories of bmt and those last goodbyes I remember before seeing anyone again for almost 9 months. The thought of doing it again just plane sucks.. It's nice to hear it from someone else.. Because usually all I read on here...

I agree 100% but I think my issue is being prior service, and remember how it was the first time I left when I was 18. And so I know whats coming again and the anxieties that come with it, as opposed to some guy excited to fly. Either way I do feel better about the idea hearing your guys...

Well it's not just for the dog obviously but family as a whole.. but I get what you guys are saying.. It's something I will kick myself for 10 yrs from now probably if I don't do it. And like any job.. it has it's ups and downs I'm sure.

Thanks guys, you're right about that. Just a tough decision, eventually I'd probably adjust if I did get a little homesick. I guess I was just worried if what I was feeling is normal in some way.. Which it appears to be. Flyboyd, what do you mean you were falsely enlisted?

I was in the Air Force and got out with the vision of becoming an Officer and Pilot. I was lucky enough after 5 yrs of hard work to get selected as a Pilot in the Navy on my second attempt. I'm on the alternate list as of now. I was going to try Air Force but I couldn't get good scores on the...

yea i hear ya on that.. I'm still trying to get to meps.. Went last week.. and needed a waiver I guess my recrutier never had gotten before i went, but yet meps had cleared me.. Makes no sense, but I went up there at the ass crack of dawn.. only do it again next week.. Oh well. Small price to...

Was the FS by surprise? because you had in all your stuff?

This actually looks good, it's only going to dvd though.. I think it'd be a hit in theaters.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VSgl1VUG4U&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Thanks guys, that eases my mind a lot more..

I really wasn't sure the best place to ask this, so mods feel free to move if there is a better place, and sorry in advance if that is the case... Question: I currently work at a retail store which may or may not be Best Buy ;) in the computer repair area. I'm starting grad school in the spring...

Whats everything submitted entail?

Did your recruiter have to request for an extension since all the paperwork is due by October 24th?

Anyone else here still waiting to goto meps?

Thanks for the Link! Yea I didn't even realize the book was out yet. I read the guy was working on it in the story but forgot how old the story was. I'm 50/50 on it.

I found this article thought it was interesting, Idk if it's been shared already but here it is: "James Leininger's parents want their 8-year-old son to have a great life -- his own life. But for the past 5 1/2 years, the Louisiana boy has been reliving pieces of the life of another James --...

I used many guides.. but barrons is really only good for the spatial test.. The planes don't really look like what they do on the real test but they give you some more similar angles than any other test do. Try the marine guage.. and the sample ASTB.. there you will see exactly what the little...

Depends on what it says,, I had an interview with my Congressman, He actually stated in the LOR he sat down and talked with me. He is also a Pilot in the AF, and I got some shit for going Navy heh, but sadly he didn't mention he was a AF pilot in the LOR, which may have helped a little more...

You don't have to jump down the guys throat.. How do you find out an answer if you don't ask ;) I was able to get an interview by two ways. One someone on here helped me get the Commander of Great Lakes interview, which is why you got that interview Tonk from what I remember, since I had your...

Well there is more on the line.. It depends on the officer. I had an interview with the Commander of Great Lakes, he did most of the talking, I chimed in here and there with opinions and responses. He asked a few simple questions and gave me a great review. I mean we pretty much chatted, but I'm...

your recruiter can request an extenstion..

so whatever happened with your situation?

Never too early to start getting officer interviews lined up..
