Question:
I have jury summoning on August 5th. Hypothetically, if we were to find out within the week (if I get prorec) and I were to report for the summoning, would I be able to use it to be excused from jury selection? I don't mind being selected for a jury and partaking in such civil duty, I'm just wondering.
The Marines guarantee you a spot in flight school IF you pass the ASTB with a 5/6/6 (you need at least a 6 in either designator to contract), pass a flight physical, and GET selected for it (which means that your PFT is probably north of 290 out of 300 these days). I was a sent to NAMI to get a flight phys then I was supposed to come back and retake the ASTB in order to get a 6 on the FOFAR (I got a 5/6/5) because I wanted to go NFO because the PFT score is a little more realistic for me. You need about a 270 or so now to be competitive which I had. However, upon return from the flight phys I retook the ASTB and got the same stupid scores, 5/6/5 albeit that my OAR increased a few points. My OSO said that I could wait until Nov to retake it because you have to wait 90 days in between the 2nd and 3rd attempt. I called Navy and he said that he could get me on the July board with my current scores. I was picked up for SNA today. Flight phys in hand. I just had my OSO make a copy and give it to my OR along with all my Marine paperwork. Almost everything is the same. I had to do a few things like LORs because all my previous ones were on MC letterhead.
Thanks man, appreciate the explanation. That's a pretty sweet loophole you managed to acquire. I passed MEPS which is good, but yeah I'm a bit interested to see why they don't give me a flight physical until later assuming I only applied SNA. Now I understand what the Marine OSO teams say by Air Guarantee on their part. I thought it was a mostly an additional means of getting guys interested in PLC or OCC. The OSO team I dealt with a year ago sounded interested in me, but I guess they lost interest in me seeing as I was only set on pilot.
Still waiting. Any news from NRD Richmond?So did anyone else get a call this morning? or waiting to still get a call with regards to SNA or SNFO?
No problem. Just out of curiosity which OSO did you talk to? Are you still applying for a USMC program?
Congrats on NFO! Just FYI supply results have been out since the first week of July lolI'm entirely new to posting on here, but I've been watching AW and watching these July Board threads over the past few months since I applied. I figured it might be nice to connect with people that may be heading into the same OCS class.
I got a call from my recruiter 10-20mins ago. I was selected for NFO! Wasn't picked up for Pilot due to my vision. I was on the border for the vision requirements, but then I bombed that test at MEPS and submitted for Pilot with a waiver. My recruiter said SWO results aren't out yet and I honestly didn't ask about Supply since that was my last choice. If anyone cares, here are my stats.
NRD St. Louis
B.S. Graphic Design from Illinois State University
3.51 GPA
4 LORs from Student Organizations where I held leadership positions
6/7/6 57 ASTB (took it twice, first time was awful 3/4/4 40)
Applied for Pilot/NFO, SWO, and Supply (in that order)
Congrats to all that were selected!
