Some questions for flight school in general, and officer-hood. These may seem like dumb questions, but it'd be dumber if I didn't ask. Background - Single, 22, NROTC 1/C. 58 7/5/6. Mechanical Engineering. If it matters, don't plan on being married for at least another 5 years. 1 - I...

I'll be emailing my LT in the coming weeks to schedule the retake. I am NROTC, if that changes anything. I know there fewer slots for OCS, STA-21 than there for USNA and ROTC MIDN. There was a post last year around August that stated the number of SNA/SNFO slots that were to be filled for '14...

I guess I could, but I like making noise.:mad:

I took the test a couple of months ago, before my 1/C cruise with HSC-85 (totally awesome BTW), and I totally bombed it! 53 6/5/6 and I have no idea what happened. I'll be going into my senior year of Mechanical Engineering and have a ~3.2 GPA. Last year I came out with with 3.571 and a 3.689...

WOW. I wasn't expecting this much dialogue over the issue, though I am very grateful I am reading stories. I have picked up the scholarship and have no plans other than to commission. With regards to the chief and his comments towards the O. -What I have always been told is the best...

In any organization there are good and bad people, those who are there because they want to be and those who just go through the motions. Growing up as kid, I saw Naval Officers as possessing the highest degree of professionalism, the Navy as the greatest military service ever to have been...

Yes.

I just realized we already talked, though don't hesitate with any further questions.

I go to Cal Maritime, '15 Mechanical Engineering, ROTC Navy Option with UC Berkeley(along with Stanford and UC Davis). PM me with any questions.

I was nominated for PNS. Even for national, this is a bit late. I feel bad for my 4/C CP.

Well, I got the word from my CO in April and I got the 2-year. Really excited, not the real test begins.

I have started to do that and that surprisingly seemed very sympathetic. I have also made some changes to the way I do things academically so hopefully that will help. I have read here and other sites about the PNS scholarship and how whoever is nominated USUALLY has a good (relative to the...

I am also a MIDN 3/C at ROTC Berkeley, CP'er, MechE at Cal Maritime. I got an email from my LT a few weeks ago saying I had been nominated for a "Leadership Scholarship". I looked it up and the closest thing that came up was the PNS Scholarship so I am assuming that is what it is....correct? My...

Reading that makes me feel alllllot better. Like I said, I feel some discomfort and minor pain(what I say here, stays here *wink*). Any suggestions on what to do, maybe some bak strenghtening exercises? Thank you.

Hello, I was wondering if someone would look over my statement. It is for the COLLEGE PROGRAM, at UC Berkley, but I will be a Cal Maritime student. I can do math, but I really can't write. The prompt was. 1) Why do you want to participate in NROTC at UC Berkeley? 2) What character...

Well I have talked to me doctor, and he mentioned surgery but it didn't seem he thought it was a viable option. And with scoliosis, I have heard that with the G forces, it's going to put to put extreme staring on my spine, therefore the doc DQing me? These are the two things that worry me the...

First off, I would like to say thank you to all of the members of this forum. It's difficult to find this first-hand information else where. Now to the problems. 1-I have very minor scoliosis, I believe 4 degrees in the the lower and 8 degrees in the lumbar. I am 19 years old and applying...

Thank you for the clarification about the citizenship. I gave a call to the unit today and asked about the physical and he told me that that was not something that they would handle. He also said that this is something that is up to me to complete. I really don't know what this means. I also...

First off, I would like to say that I'm really happy that this forum exists and would like to thank all the contributors. About myself- 19 years old, born in Pakistan(moved here at the age of 9, I am a legal citizen), have been a Cadet with my local police department since APR of 09. Grad HS...

I am really having trouble finding concrete facts about what is "NPQ". I am 19 years old and my scoliosis was discovered when I was about 14-16. They did x-rays..etc and told me it was 4 degrees. I feel somewhat uncomfortable but it's nothing major. I am SURE if I start working out on my back...

I understand that, I didn't mean it in that manner. I am willing to accept that if it means, I will be a SNA/NFO? I have been searching and searching the website, emailed NROTC at Berkeley and I don't understand what will determine if I'm NPQ,scoliosis wise. I know it can't be more than 20...

I will, by the end of Spring 2011, have more than 60 semester units. I am attending a community college. They will be transferable to Cal Maritime. But I will still be at Cal Maritime for 4 years. I plan on transferring there Fall 2011. Thanks, Kamil.

If I didn't believe we were the good guys, I wouldn't be on the forum. Lets not get political. While I am bi-lingual, I can neither write nor read the other language. Can we be sure that I will end up in Intel, 'cause I sure as hell wouldn't want to do that. If I wanted that kind of job, I'd go...

I'm sorry if you feel "aggravated". Are you referring to my post about my major?

Thank you guys for the advice. It has helped. I researched the scoliosis and it seems like I will be fine. I'm confused about one thing. . Now based on what I've heard before, I doubt I am guaranteed a Navy Pilot/NFO position. Is that what you meant by the above quote? Also I read peoples...

I understand what both of you are trying to say, and I agree. I would say the comment "....that his parents are behind him..." is right on the ball. My parents mean a lot to me, and it wouldn't be possible for me to go on with my life, no matter how successful I am, knowing that my parents are...

Lets say I give up my citizenship...back to original post. Any other restrictions? I really wish I could communicate with an officer but none of them do it over e-mail.

I am also a citizen of USA, was since I was 9, just in case you misunderstood me.

Realllllly? Are you sure? Can I have your source?

Hello, I am 19 years old, currently attending a community college in northern California. This is my second year, I will have more than 60 units by the end of Spring 2011. I really messed up in high school and regret it soooo much, but I am doing better now. I applied to California Maritime...
