    The return of barefoot running....now with Five Fingers!

    I've been using these things off and on for a while now. My 1.5 mile run time drops a little bit when I'm wearing the KSOs, but that might just happen because the "running" shoes I wear are a really clunky pair of Adidas Bounces. The novelty wears off kind of quickly, but the five-fingers got...

    Thanks eas. My package is done. I might send in a new Moto-Statement, but otherwise I am completely done. I have enough letters of rec, but I might be getting one or two bonus letters if they can get to my recruiter before the 20th. But it terms of actual paperwork, I have already signed...

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

    Those are still pretty good scores. I got a 7/7/6 59 and my processor and recruiter said they were fine for a first go-around and that if I was rejected I should think about retesting only because it will show significant desire for "self-improvement." We scored almost the same and I was told my...

    Neither my recruiter nor my processor have mentioned anything about this. I'm going to finish up my paperwork on Tuesday, I'll ask them if they know any reason why this would be true.

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

    By the time I contacted a recruiter I had all my stuff prepared.. Application finished, letters of recommendation, info for the background stuff. I figured it was the only way I would get a recruiter to talk to me.

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

    The first time I ever spoke to my recruiter, he had me come in to take the ASTB the next day. While I don't speak for recruiters by any means, when I took the test he just stuck me in a closet with a computer and told me to "hold it" for a couple hours until the test was over. You could probably...

    Recruiters

    It can't hurt to ask! BDCP is definitely worth trying for. If I had known about it back when there was still time to apply for it, I would've jumped on that in a second. Good luck.

    Taking the ASTB in five weeks...math questions

    I only used the two Arco books and the gouge on the this site. Atrickpay's study guides helped tremendously. My best advice is to study with practice tests and get yourself used to crunching problems under pressure. Also.. read the topic about 1001 questions on the ASTB. All your questions and...

    iPhone Forum App, who's interested in this mod?

    Is Opera the best way to access web forums via Blackberry? I'm already using Opera but I've really only used it for ESPN and Gmail for the past year... And of course stealth wikipedia'n to make friends look like morons.

    Improving chances of getting to OCS while in school

    Free Jack in the Box tacos

    In n out is good but unless your getting everything Animal style, its just another burger joint. Best drunk food ever is a burrito from one of the shady Los "Insert Mexican Word Here" places that you find on every block in Phoenix / Tucson

    Indeed. The gluttony rarely stops at 99 cents. I have seen a man eat 20 tacos. Aye, I have stared into the Abyss... and seen Jack and the Box tacos staring back at me.

    I haven't heard anything to contrary either. I'm done with MEPS, ASTB and trying to get my PRT done within the week. The only thing I'm waiting on is lazy former employers who are being a pain in the ass to send DD370's in. If all goes according to plan I can be on the September boards at the...

    Stuck in Hawaii with no Naval Officer Info

    They will ask for transcripts from ALL of your colleges, so this doesn't really make a difference. To my knowledge, they take all your classes into consideration. Also, when you say "transfer to an accredited university" does that mean you received your degree from an unaccredited university...

    Waiver Can someone please tell me at what point in the application process drug waivers granted? MEPS, selection boards, somewhere in between? I am scheduled for MEPS soon but my recruiter and I have not talked about the drug part of the application I filled out. Thanks

    Although I'm no expert on the construction of pins, doesn't that globe look a little out of place? I would think it would be nearly impossible to replicate that but I digress.

    Possible DQ?

    No sir, it was only maybe a two week span in which I smoked pot when I was 15. I regret the decision, but I was 15 and stupid. I never had the intention of checking the box, because that would be lying. I just feel as if using the "well it was before I turned 16, so they will never be the...

    Possible DQ?

    Hello, rather than start a new thread I thought I would ask here... I have been honest to my recruiter about drug usage and have not lied on my application. The part that I don't feel comfortable with is that the application asks you to list drugs you have done in the last 7 years or since...

    I know this is a long shot, but I know people who have bypassed the admissions people by going to the dean of the college they were trying to get into. Sometimes deans make exceptions that admission folks won't. worth a shot if all else fails. present your argument like a business plan. *edit*...

    Who can do anthro measurement?

    Hi, this is slightly related to aviation. I'm filling my OCS app out right now, and my recruiter said to have my Anthro's checked by a doc before I meet with him next. Can any old doctor do this? I.e. like an office that does sports physicals or something? need some clarification.. Thanks!

    Second Tao. The clubs at the Palms are great too. Ghost bar is the best but Rain and Moon are fun. As for some cheap gambling pre-debauchery, I would suggest a place like O'Shea's. Its centrally located and the dealers are good. Rehab on sunday is great but I hear its a fest these days. With...
