Joined this forum way long ago before I enlisted rather than earn a commission out of college (very long story, not here to give my life’s details)
I am currently serving in the submarine community as a Nav ET and I’m putting my officer package together. Before I get too far into my the officer application process (focusing on NFO) I want to make sure I go into the ASTB-E as confident as possible. I’ve read TONS of information on how to do well on the ASTB. I’m not too entirely worried about the OAR portion of it, the math and mechanical topics have been coming back to me at a pretty good rate. I’m having an issue where to focus my study time in what makes up the aviation portion of it as a whole. Like I said, I’ve seen a lot of material on here, tips and tricks, etc. I just don’t want to look at any aviation concepts that may be outdated, have discrepancies, or may have changed over the last couples years that could throw me into a surprise going into the exam. One thing I’ve learned about being on a submarine is when you do something, do it right the first time and that’s what I am holding myself to when it comes to prepping/taking this exam so I can be as competitive as possible when I submit my officer package.
Thank you all in advance for any advice you may give!
