When my recruiter first mentioned this test, um yesterday, he didn't really explain its purpose. It seems to deal a lot with aviation, but as an intelligence officer, which is what I'm shooting for, why would this be of concern? Do they want all officers to have an understanding of aeronautics since this is the foundation on which the modern navy is built? Just how much do we have to know? Is everyone expected to know the exact inner workings of a plane? And just how many points are possible on the test anyway? Everyone is writing that they got a 50 or 35 or 47, but this is meaningless to me because I haven't a clue as to what is considered an excellent score.
lol, on another note, I'm going insane! A question on the commission application reads "Can you swim 50 feet underwater?" and I was aghast when I came upon it. I live in western Wisconsin, the deepest body of water around here is like 20 feet! I just now realized that the question is asking about 50 horizontal feet, not vertical feet. Duh. There was a time once when I thought I was smart...that time has now passed.
Finally, does every OCSer have to swim?! How far is 50 yards in a pool? Gar, I have so much to learn.
