During my 5th week of OCS in lovely Newport, RI, I had to see the psychologist at behavioral health for my flight physical. I had seen a counselor/psychologist in college three times for adjustment issues, not knowing what to do in the future, etc. I took the MMPI while there and based on that...

To expand on this point, there is never a time when you should just quit and give up. Like has been said, 11 units is not a lot. You can certainly dig yourself out of that hole if you keep pushing and giving it your all. I was in a somewhat similar (but different!) position in college; I was a...

I don't know for sure, but you should probably get an official note/script from your doctor prescribing them. Worst case, call your doctor and see if he or she can send you a copy of the prescription.

Leviticus, thanks for the list.

Q I'm not sure what I'm doing, to be honest. My recruiter mentioned putting me on a plane to get there, but he was vague about it. I need to talk to him on Monday and get my end figured out PDQ.

Where are you driving from, Biz?

I just got the call that I report on March 15th, as well. Yikes.

Hey now, I have a degree in history. And I've yet to use it!

20/15-0 means he read the entire 20/15 line. 20/15-2 means he missed two letters in the 20/15 line. What it really means, however, is that Nugget has kick-ass vision.

I know that I submitted, and the board Pro-Rec'd me, without a recorded official or un-official PRT. I think it is up to the recruiter's discretion to submit or not, but I'm not 100% sure. And no, you shouldn't stop doing sit-ups and other PT. You'll thank yourself later.

I was pro-rec'd in October and I just now get to go to MEPS tomorrow.

"Pro-rec" means your package has gone to the board and you have essentially been selected. It is the major competitive aspect of the application process. Think of it as a cage match where your folder dukes it out with the other folders for the prize, i.e. a slot to attend OCS. Once you are...

24 year old civilian. 3.06 overall GPA in United States History and Political Science. 7/7/6 56 Year and a half of NROTC. Worked through college. Spent two years as a Resident Advisor. Applied for SNA and NFO. Pro-rec'd for both in October.

It has been a bit since I was NROTC, and I'm a nobody at the moment, but I can take a shot for at least two of your questions. For the swim test, the 3rd class "minimum" test is jumping from approximately 10 to 15 feet up, swimming 50 meters any way you can, and treading water for 5 minutes...

Pro-rec SNA and NFO! Holy %&$!.

Congratulations, Sonic! /As I sit here waiting for the phone...

IE6 must be very old to Otto since he is visiting us from the future on Firefox 5.0. :eek:

It'll happen when it happens. Try not to break your F5 key. :D

Well, my OR submitted my application at the start of the month and he has said there have not been any problems. So, I think I'm set for the October boards; whether or not I am one of the rumored 50 or so remains to be seen, however. Applying for SNA and SNFO. 24 year old male as of two weeks...

Congratulations to everyone. My OR said I did not make it to the August board, so time to wait for September. Oh well, just means more PT time!

Well, my OSO hasn't said if I have or haven't made it to the August board, but here goes for posterity's sake. Applying for SNA and SNFO. -ASTB: 7/7/6 56 -3.059 GPA from the University of California San Diego; Political Science/International Relations and United States History. (My degree...

There is a single correct answer for each of the questions on the actual test. I used the Barron's Military Flight Aptitude book and the spatial aspect had quite a few errors. Identical answers, the back of the book saying the correct answer for a diving plane was a picture of one climbing, etc.

Is this the one, Mumbles? I didn't see it posted in the thread.

From what I gather and have been doing you do the twists while in the up position. Your back should not be touching the bench. It's more work to stay in the up position while twisting as opposed to lying down and twisting. Of course this wouldn't be the first time I'm completely wrong about...

So I don't want to be this guy before a PRT? Aw crap. Thanks for the link, Heyjoe. I've been using his "take two minutes off your PRT time". It's kind of "well, duh", but it's nice to have it written down in a program.

Where do you get your photos, Heyjoe? Thanks for going through the effort to post them in your replies.

Good choice on making it a MEGA thread. Thanks for everyone's help with my statement.

But we could destroy the sun's delicate fusion reaction!!!!!! /hyperventilates

I know I'm a nobody in the process of applying to OCS, but the entire series just made me even more motivated to get everything squared away to get in front of a board. Even with the rough edges and drama shown throughout, I still think in the back of my head "yeah, I want to do that. It's...

The link worked for me. I made a TinyURL to make it easier if it helps. http://www.tinyurl.com/5u9npc EDIT: Missed the edit where East fixed it. Oops. Just call me redundant.

This is the exact same thing that happened to me. I had the surgery on a Monday, and had the left eye lens taken out on the Thursday morning and had to come back later in the day to remove the right lens. During the Monday of the surgery I could watch TV and use the computer with the lights on...

Good news! US authorities and the news outlets are still waiting for confirmation, however. My apologies if this belongs in the "War Zone".

SDSU's party reputation is well warranted. Though this event just reinforces that.

Hello, this is how my statement stands at the moment. Any criticism or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Here goes nothing: My grandfather, Clifford Routley, served aboard the U.S.S. Lexington (CV-16) during the Second World War. What originally interested me specifically in...

I read that Stealth was completely accurate. Right guys? Right? Guys??? /crickets Anyway, Great America was a lot of fun until they stared changing stuff around and bought out Marine World to turn into a Six Flags. The two were essentially right next store in the grand scheme of things.

Yes.

I am in the midst of writing my statement for OCS and I was wondering about a certain tidbit about me. I applied and was accepted to an NROTC program during the second semester of my second year of college as a College Programmer (non-scholarship). However, during the summer after my 3rd class...
