    How does order of choices affect selection?

    Your package will be sent to the individual boards that meet for the specific designators. If that designator does not have a board, your package will still be seen by the boards that are meeting on your designator list. I put down 1)SNA and 2)SNFO and only the SNA board met, there was no SNFO...

    Can anybody tell me why I was disqualified for flight after getting PRK?

    I completely agree, I kicked myself for not taking it. But ended up working out.

    Can anybody tell me why I was disqualified for flight after getting PRK?

    not impossible though, I selected NFO a couple years ago and turned it down to apply for pilot again. I got my slot in the August 2011 board, granted after a couple more years, but I did get it.

    What was your work experience prior to applying to OCS?

    Worked retail, left to attend a police academy, now working my last day today as a security guard at a hospital which was very fun actually, got to play with crazies, saw many gun shot wounds, and deal with the trash that make up the population that is down town fresno.

    Writing an LOR About Yourself

    Had 2 of my LORs that were done this way. One was a coworker of my mom's who is a retired LCDR and the second a retired Major but was an instructor of mine at the police academy. Pretty easy to keep them from sounding the same actually.

    Maj Sam "SWACQ" Griffith

    Donation is in. Sucks to hear right before Christmas. This site has been very instrumental in getting me selected and I'm sure SWACQ is one of many that helped.

    if you really want to understand binary, I'd look online and find a source. It's honestly not that hard to understand. But I apparently found a way f#@k it up :rolleyes:

    1,001 questions about the ASTB (post your scores & ask your questions here!)

    only took a little engineering but to understand binary is pretty easy actually. every 1 is 2 to some power. Starting with the furthest right number at 2^0, and expanding out to the left by 1 (2^1, 2^2,2^3) so example 1101=25 1=2^4=16 1=2^3= 8 0= 0 1=2^0= 1 16+8+1=25 hope that's...

    Officer Interviews

    I actually wore dress pants and a polo shirt. But the pilot I interviewed with told me not to wear a suit and tie. But yes I'd wear a suit and tie and be clean shaven for the interview unless otherwise specified

    Officer Interviews

    First question I was asked was "How well do you take practical jokes?" But as far as questions go, it really depends, I was asked about myself, why naval aviation, what steps have I taken to prepare myself for a military life, and he really stressed how do I deal with difficulties in life.

    I highly doubt that this would happen, but I'm sure that teacher in SF would be thrilled about this :rolleyes:

    August 2011 Board

    I know what you mean. I filled out my paperwork last week. My processor was worried about my allergic reaction to penicillin when I was 2. I stated that I had never had a problem with MEPS and this issue. Which shot myself in the foot because now Sacramento MEPS has to send my record from 2008...
