    I have the Code of conduct down, already knew the sailors creed and general order, so now it is just brushing up on the non navy ranks and how they want us to say the info... After that I plan on studying the other info in the ocs gouge as icing on the cake!

    I have SCI that expires sometime soon so I guess that must be it. I was hoping to not have to do another SF-86 in the near future because they are such a pain. Oh well, I'll start that tedious project and make sure I keep a copy this time.

    Just a quick question. My FS paperwork states my clearance but says I have to start a NACLC before going to OCS anyway. Does this seem right? My current clearance rolls over to secret in the middle of this year but will be good for another 5.5 years.

    FS letter should be at my squadron. I may hear in the morning when day-check gets in. I know it is in May but I don't know which class date..... Things could get really hectic for me if it is the May 6th class.

    Those were two separate comments. One was a response to his age and the fact that he is applying for supply. The other was a response to the recommendations for Intel selections. Hope this helps.

    01-E Designation

    I'm pretty sure it is in the 1420.1b instruction or application that it specifically says commissioned at 4 years and 1 day to be an O-1E. It's unfortunate for me because I will be less than 4 years at commissioning by about a month or 2 so I will miss out on the extra BAH.... Base pay won't...

    Can you shave your head at OCS?

    I've heard that from priors as well. I was talking about the PT portion not being as intense as I had imagined (based on what people have told me recently). Boot was so easy it was a joke and I know OCS is going to be much harder.

    Can you shave your head at OCS?

    It would be kind of funny. Up until somewhat recently I thought they beat you pretty good but they barely run and all. I thought we would be doing 6+ miles and a bunch of body resistance type stuff. 2 miles for the first few weeks and 3-4 after that is nothing. Oh well...... I'll probably...

    I checked in with the Fleet Processors and they said they had no idea when the FS paperwork was going to come back. I was PQ'd a couple weeks ago and I know my command is actively involved in getting me out the door so they can get a suitable replacement ASAP for deployment. It sounded like...

    The age waiver is extremely easy to obtain so don't hesitate on that. You can get Pilot and NFO waivers from the same sourse and nearly the same information on each sheet. PM me your nmci email and I can forward the file you need and let you know who to email it to.

    4 weeks? Man, I'm going to do everything I have to do to get to OCS but I also want 30 days of leave in between since I haven't taken any in forever! I have a feeling these FS letters are not going to give us much time to do that...... Any thoughts?

    I had to make sure my whole debacle was fixed and when I called to check that he also notified me that I was PQ'd. That was good news (even though I knew I was) but I was hoping for an FS letter sooner than that. Oh well! I would stick with the no news is good news. When something was messed...

    E-3 and no higher. Even if you could go in as an e-5 you would have a hard time because of quals and other factors lowering your evals at first. It is tougher to et picked up for officer as well.

    Can you shave your head at OCS?

    All very good points. I am in excellent shape so they could beat me for it all day and in the end I would say "Thank you". I'll give it a whirl and hopefully in the end it will all work out.

    Can you shave your head at OCS?

    Some of mine in natural too so it is within regs. As far as stubble on my head goes I can see how they might give me a hard time but there is nothing that says my head must be clean shaved all the time so that is not a big deal. The big thing I have been told in the past is that they don't...

    Can you shave your head at OCS?

    I do now and have been for many years shaving my head with a razor. In boot camp I was not allowed to shave my head and a high and tight looks ridiculous. Is OCS different in that regard? Will I be able to shave my head everyday or every other day?
