Today I recieved my letter from Millington stating my selection to the Naval Flight Officer Baccalaureate Degree Completion Program.
I swear in on Thursday.
My recruiter also called to let me know. I can't tell you how excited I am to be accepted to this fine community.
After logging on everyday, again and again, reading posts similar to this I am going to do what I always enjoyed doing: reading about being selected, what happened, etc..
==============================================
OCT/NOV 01 Boone, NC while attending a community college (CCCTI) I contacted the USN asking about becoming an officer. No one would give me the time of day. Finally a Senior Chief had me meet with him at ASU to interview me and give me the rundown.
NOV-FEB 01 I took the test, didn't make aviation, so I decided to go for INTEL. So, I did the PRT (did crappy), got 12 LOR's from everyone from my past employers to my father in law, went to MEPS, filled out all paperwork, etc.
Unfortunately, once finished I was told sorry, you have to be at a 4 year school to apply. So my paper work sat on a desk until I started school here at UNC.
May 01 Chapel Hill, NC After starting school here at UNC, I tried to get my completed packet sent out, but was shot down again because now I needed to have 12hours of credits from UNC to apply.
AUG 2001 I finally got my 12 hours in, so I went to my recruiter all excited to get my packet sent out, but since it had sat for over 6 months I was told that it was too old and needed to make a new one. However, I was told that I could seek a NFO position. So that was the only choice I put down.
SEPT 2001 After contacting all my LOR's I had them rewrite their letters for me, signed new papers, and redid the PRT (better, 60,70,10:55, GPA: 3.75 28 yrs old, PWAD major), thus my packet was complete again. So, shortly thereafter it was sent out.
OCT 2001 wait...'no news is good news'
NOV 2001 wait...'no news is good news'
DEC 2001 wait...'no news is good news'
JAN 2002 wait...'no news is good news'
FEB 2002 Selected!!! whooHoo!! Drinks on me!
===============================================
I know how bad it is to wait, so I hope this post will at least cheer you up while you are waiting.
Just so you know, I have been taking NROTC courses here at UNC to prepare myself for OCS. Even though I didn't know I was going to be selected or not, I gambled because I am determined to be an NFO. I recommend them, by doing so I may be able help my OCS classmates on certain subjects. I have taken Naval Science, and Leadership. Now taking Engineering and Naval Operations (maneuvering boards, etc.). In addition, my instructors are: EA-6B NFO, S-3 NFO, and a SWO. All are very encouraging and supportive.

Major Congrats Adam
, I will take a scotch, single malt, neat.
Also, I assume you meant that you got accepted in 2003 not 2002
. It is exhilarating to "get the call" isn't it?
I know I was buzzing for a month.
When is you OCS date?

Thanx, how about a Montecristo w/ your scotch? Actually I prefer Punch or Uppman's.
Yeah you are correct, I won't got to OCS till 2004. I graduate this Fall, so I am guessing my OCS date will be in Jan.(hopefully)
Wed/Thurs I swear in, hopefully I will get my OCS date then as well.

hey congrats AOconner. That is awesome. man what a long wait huh? I hope I get picked up the 2nd time around. In the meantime I'll continue smoking cigars anyway.
p.s. Cognac is much better for cigars than the overated "Single Malts" lol. I smoke Punch and Hoyo EMS Double Maduro.

aoconnor, I'm in Elpaso Texas. I will Grad in December and hopefully recieve order to OCS shortly there after. I have been told though that my date could be pushed back as late as March. It all depends on what the backup looks like at OCS after December. I am sure though that if we grad. at or around the same time, will probably be in the same class together. Where are you locasted and what is your designater. Peace out.
