31OCT22 SNA/SNFO BOARD

How would you even prepare jellyfish? Or is it eaten raw like sushi

I think it was raw. It was cold and slimy and kinda just tasted like what they seasoned it with. Did find out later on that if they hadn’t prepared it properly it could’ve gotten us really sick

I would hope it's cooked well! My local Chinese buffet has a Jellyfish salad. I tried it and it was very crunchy and kind of flavorless besides all the seasoning/sauce/vinegar.

It looked like this:

Yep that's more or less what I remember it looking like

I actually didn't know about the aphids honestly. Not gonna stop eating brussel sprouts but good to know. As for weird things to eat I had jellyfish in singapore and that was fuckin weird.

I've also had jellyfish. Very bizarre and mostly tasteless. Can't imagine is calorie rich.

My RDCs would play this at night when we were supposed to be sleeping, creepiest thing to hear on repeat.

That's not fun! That sounds pretty hardcore for boot camp.

Mr. Ballen made a video about that poem when he heard it at SERE.

Well shit guess I'm scrambling to apply SNFO for this board. Y'all got any tips for the motivational statement lol. I'm assuming I shouldn't fluff with emotional stuff like you have to do with scholarship essays.

I asked a very similar question recently and ExNavyOffRec replied:

"The aviation board rarely if ever reads any motivational statements, you either have the scores that will indicate probably success in flight school or you don't."

Hope this helps!

Basically get to the point of why you want to be an officer. Don’t use a whole bunch of fluff. They only have about two minutes to look at the entire package and they aren’t about to read a whole book.

My recruiter sent me a bunch of examples to refer to when I wrote mine and they were all frickin novels. Immediately thought to myself no way in hell do they want to read about this dude's life story.

It’s still wild to think that months (or years) of preparation basically comes down to someone looking at your application for a few minutes and saying yes or no
