    Are Pilots Born?

    Thanks for asking the question Jed.. I have been trying to decide all month if I am "meant" to be a pilot.. I have spent my whole life around planes and love flying. My father works for Delta and my mom worked for American but they both seem to think that I don't have the personality of a pilot...

    Bush snubbed at G20 Summit

    Very good point.. I was a little heated when I posed that (just got done listing to some Bush Bashing). All I am trying to say is exactly what you said..

    Bush snubbed at G20 Summit

    The white house put out a statement saying the reason the Bush did not sake their hands was because Bush had been there all day and had already shook their hands. They also have about 70 pictures of him chumming it u with every one of the leaders taken earlier that day. It doesn't matter how...

    Yes sir, I am going to run it by recruiter but I am sure he is going to say the same thing. Plus if you think about it in order to be a pilot I am going to have to pass a lot harder test than the ASTB so playing it safe here is useless when harder test are to come.

    Good point. Fix eyes first and then bust my ass and do everything I can to have a goo package (even if it is a risk)... Haha not too sure what I would have done if I was selected.

    BDCP Eyesight

    From what I have read you have to get the medical physical before final select ( usually after pro rec). If you apply for the BDCP, get selected, go to MEPS and fail the medical because of you eyes you have to reapply. I have talked to a few people that had there spots sort of "held" while there...

    Wow, I didn’t know that. I was just joking... There was a recruiter that said earlier on this thread that he had 11 that he was 100% sure would get selected SNA so ... Any idea how many they selected last month? Edit: I am not sure if he said BDCP

    Appreciate it... I have taken the test twice so it is going to be a big decision if I take it again. (I meet the minimums for USMC, which is pass/fail). But why think about that now. I feel like I have a chance on this board ☺ If not ill get my PRK and go from there

    Had the convo with my OR again today. He is almost positive that they will hold my rec for me because I am on the BDCP. He said that as soon as I am recommended he will send me to MEPS and if I fail ill get the surgery ASAP and then apply for all of the paper work.. Three months sounds a lot...

    My OR told me as long as I didn't have anything below a 5 and I scored a 6 on at least one section I was good. He also said that unlike the Navy the scores for the Marines are pass fail. Can anyone confirm this?
