I am Papa as well. Who you calling knucklehead?! :D Anyways PAPA Division rocks!

IS ANYONE MISSING A ROOMATE??? :D

Well, I just finished checking-in (in dress blues), there were two female Ensigns at the Quarter Deck (King's Hall). Once you check-in you must sleep at the barracks (Liberty ends at midnight). So no hotel for me. I could not attend yesterday's dinner - I arrived after midnight, so anyone up...

Is there are dinner planned for today? I heard Benjamin's is a great place to eat.

Any NSIers have checked-in? Did you wear uniform or civies?

I would like to say something ... All of us have have made huge accomplishments by being selected to this great program ... now we need to work as a team and look out for one another, no matter how different we might be. One of our goals should be ZERO disenrollments during the next nine weeks...

I am going to University of Utah - that's close :)

I have the same. I am going to NSI.

What day is everyone checking-in? Sunday, Monday? I am arriving Friday night but thinking to check-in Monday morning.

I might have a rental through the weekend.

Actually I read somewhere that there is a bus from airport to Newport. Read all the welcome onboard instructions again.

Also, how much of civilian clothing are you bringing?

Anyone knows if there NEX/Uniform shop in Newport?

Well said :) I am feeling exactly the same. I am on the way from Guam (currently at Chicago's airport waiting for connecting flight to my leave destination, cannot believe how surreal this is as well :) I see you all in Rhode Island! I am getting there on the 15th. By the way, USO kicks butt!

Common man, just go buy couple blue shorts and couple Navy t-shirts :) Better be safe than sorry - it's only couple bucks. At least that's my suggestion.

I reenlisted for 6 yrs and now my EAOS is JAN 2014, but orders ask for it to be FEB 2014. Is anyone else in the same boat as me? Is it ok if it's JAN 2014? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Well, it sounds like you would be a strong candidate. What I would suggest is keep charging and start your package early. Once you start the process, many things will start falling in. Try taking at least couple college classes/CLEPS every single semester. I believe college credits are a big...

Was there a seabag inspection during your time at NSI?

What do you mean by "pool"? Just want to make sure.

Thanks for the great imput. Any advise on preparing for ASTB?

Thanks for input. I will bust my butt! No, still have not taken ASTB.

Could anyone tell me what are academic requirements to be considered for Pilot or NFO designations? I am STA-21 selectee under CORE option and I would LOVE to go for Pilot or NFO but I selected economics as my major. Would I still be elligible for Pilot or NFO with economics degree? Any input...

TO NSIers: So who is bringing full sea bag and who is not?

Do not forget about the seabag items. There is a whole list of seabag items you must bring along.

I am detaching on the Feb 1st as well. I have 15 leave days. As far as I know you should not worry if you detach Jan or Feb, as long as you are there (RI) on time.

Regarding Re-enlistment ... orders state that new obligation must be until Feb 2014 (at least my orders state that). If I re-enlist for 6 years, it would be until JAN 2014, not FEB 2014. Do I wait until FEB or what? Anyone has recommendation?

My orders show NSI and NROTC. No BOOST for me. So I don't expect to be getting another set of orders just to NROTC.

I read we will have to run 3.2 miles, not sure how frequently, but to me that's not a joke :)

That's alright. :)

OK. Now that I have orders in my hands, re-enlistment in work ... I started preparing physically. I hope everyone is doing that too. Does anyone know what is the biggest reason why someone might get disenrolled from the program? How many do usually get disenrolled while at NSI? I am...

I am not sure about Sunday, probably not. Where are you checking for orders? BOL or on STA-21 login? You should be checking in BOL. If it's not there yet, maybe Monday :)

But If I took Housing Leave I wouldn't need to go to negative. I mean, do you really must prove you were "house hunting?" How long do they allow for house hunting? Thanks for your help.

Anyone can tell me how House Hunting Leave works? I've never taken it so do not know much about it. Does it count toward your leave? I am asking because I have very few days in books.

Finally, got my orders as well! Yesterday it was not on BUPERS, today it is there. So everyone should check! :) I know it is Saturday.

Congratulations with orders! :) I assume you are not going to BOOST, is that correct? Is everyone checking BOL website for orders?

Who is off until the 7th?

Right, I am aware of this webpage, but I was wondering if anyone knows a site where I could read-up more detail information about designations.

I am in VERY similar boat? What designation are you applying for? Anyone knows where I can find more information about designations?

Someone got orders?

Happy to hear this. Now another waiting game, but a bit more relaxed. Once someone has orders, please let us know.

Phew, orders have been requested on 12/27/07. If someone is still waiting - don't worry too much, it will come.

Yes, this error is a daily thing ... I am not sure for its reason, but I guess it appears when the site is being updated. If someone knows more, please let us know.

Anyone is still waiting for orders to be requested?

Probably Wednesday the 26th. That's just a guess.

Still no orders requested :( Anyone else in same boat? Hopefully by the end of this week it will be requested.

Same here.

I am having same problems as well. Yesterday worked fine. Hopefully it will work tomorrow.

Wow, thanks. I never knew of this link either.

Nothing here either :s
