I had heard that they were making NIFE less forgiving on people who fail, but anyone who struggles in NIFE will probably have a MUCH harder time in primaryWhat is true though is that they’ve been making NIFE more and more strict.
How long has your application been submitted/under review for?Just got my OCS date July 12th, pretty pumped about it
Can’t wait for that lol. Gotta get my memorizing skills readyI had heard that they were making NIFE less forgiving on people who fail, but anyone who struggles in NIFE will probably have a MUCH harder time in primary

The only thought that would come to mind for me would be, "Can I breathe for a moment first?". In my case, I've got a little bit of student and credit card debt I want to pay off since graduating and saving up so that I don't get screwed by any future event. Pretty much all of my savings got wiped out on my last semester of school.I’m an ISEL for SNA and I got my PRO REC Y June 12. My recruiter asked me if I wanted to ship out immediately

I don't know, but I imagine it will be something discussed while there. We will be earning E-5 Pay while there. So, we'll be sitting with an extra 6600 about, but I imagine some of that money is going to be heading straight into housing costs when everyone gets down to Pcola and some other things people may have.At least the uniform stipend DOES pay it back but I’ve heard not 100% & also it can be a couple months down the line?
I’m hoping to find a “frat house” to rent with some friends in Pcola. Did it with buddies on the ship in San Diego and it was pretty fun.
