Does anybody know if officers have the opportunity to earn their diver and jump qualifications just for "fun"? I'm a supply officer so I would have no actual need for them, but it would be badass to get them just for the hell of accomplishing something cool.

Does anybody know if this is true? I actually WANT my hair cut off, so if they are no longer cutting it short than I'm going to get it cut before I go. Will I get in trouble for that?

Final select! I'm getting sworn in next Thursday and my class date is June 28th, 2009. I can't believe I actually went through with the application process. It's exciting and scary.

Congratulations Kurtzie! I bet you're relieved.

How have you not heard back yet??

How many people actually make it through OCS in the prescribed 12 weeks? Is it a really small percentage, or have I just read too many horror stories?

Yep, going with supply.

I don't know why I heard so soon. I think my OR must have looked at the selection list as soon as it was posted. I assume my package was looked over at the same time as your's. Do you know for sure that your results aren't out, or has your OR just not called you? My OR says I could get my final...

Wow, that's awesome news Twitterpate! Congratulations!

Well I wrote my parents a nice long email after I found out (too much of a wuss to call), and my dad called me a couple hours later and was actually totally okay with my decision. I was NOT expecting that reaction. He was startled that I thought they'd flip out and be unsupportive. My mom wasn't...

Prorec'd supply! Now it's time to tell my parents. They don't know ANYTHING. It's gonna be a massacre. Has anyone else heard from the supply boards?

Yeah, it's gonna be interesting if I have to take NFO though since I mostly wrote it down for sh*ts and giggles! After seeing the Cleveland air show today I'm thinking maybe I should have gone with you and written down SNA instead. Is that final select coming your way pretty soon?

Yeah I did, but supply is my first choice.

Just found out I did not get selected for Intel (not surprising). Now waiting to hear about Supply. My OR says results should be out on Wednesday or Thursday. Just a few more days guys...

I'll be there Monday too, but as a spectator.

Pro rec'd NFO BDCP. I'm excited, although that was my third choice. Still have to wait a few more weeks to hear about supply. If I can get NFO, supply should be no problem right? Congrats to everyone who's heard so far.

Yeah, I know, but I was never interested in aviation (not sure how I ended up on this forum). Supply most closely matches my degree, and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get picked for intel considering how competitive it is.

I've never flown and I know nothing about aviation. I got those scores purely from studying, and they were decent enough that I decided for kicks to put down NFO as my third choice. But don't get me wrong, if I get selected for NFO and nothing else I will definitely take it. Thanks for the...

I heard it through the grapevine that the July supply board meets today and that your package only had to be there by July 16th to be reviewed. However, this may be completely inaccurate. Anybody know?

I went to MEPS today too. Really a good time. I couldn't pee in the cup with the person staring at me.

Hey, my recruiter is the Chief in Cleveland! He's a good guy. I'm not from Cleveland, but I spend most of my time here which is why I chose to keep all business pertaining to my OCS application here. I would say see a recruiter near the place where you spend most of your time. It will make...

Oh ok yeah...def was not there by July 1st.

Is that when the selection board is meeting, or is that just when the results come out? Because my application package went in around the second week of July, so I'm wondering if it made it to the July board afterall...

eyzondapryz, I'm glad you've had your revelation, but now that you have, please don't post any other comments involving vain trivial things like getting a haircut. I am a woman, and as Hal said above, it is comments like that that reinforce the female stereotype. We'll never be taken seriously...

2sr2worry, thank you so much! I didn't read too carefully, but the first and third ones seem rather outdated. Are they still accurate?

Hello, I am currently taking a supply chain and logistics management course in college and my final assignment is to write a business report about the supply chain of any company. I would like to write about the supply chain of the Navy, since I am going to be applying to OCS for supply, but...

I've heard you're supposed to breath in on the way down and out on the way up, but breathing mid-push up makes me feel weak, like I'm going to collapse. I have to be holding my breath. Anyone else have this issue?

I am a [female] junior in college and I am thinking about applying for OCS. Does it make you less competitve if you did not play any sports in high school or college? I am involved in many organizations on campus, but none of them are athletic. My logic is, athletics take up soooo much time...
