Wanted to clear something up. Just because you are a "LT" (meaning you have done a tour as ASUPPO) it doesn't mean you are too senior by any means to be on a submarine. Ask any of the second tour guys/gals that are on subs right now. You are a one person show and normally you don't have any...

Sorry so late on the response but haven't been on here in a while. What questions do you have specifically? You can def bring the family and I would almost say it was encouraged unlike a lot of the service schools that you might go to. It is a beautiful place to live for a while and obviously...

Don't go to a boomer if you want to see any foreign countries.

I can ask at the school house if they know of any dates...has to do a lot with the flow of students. It is a 5 month long school either way...I couldnt imagine not having a car for that long. If you have the opportunity, I would drive.

If you got "it" this post would have never happened...including all the rest of them that you have made. To have the arrogance to tell Naval Officers to read the constitution...are you F-ing serious? We are all living our dreams, one way or the other. Usually just by being IN the NAVY, so please...

I want to give you a insight from someone that is NEW to the Supply world. Coming from the Nuke world it is completely different. Supply is all about EVERYONE ELSE on the ship, in the unit, on the sub, or on the SEAL Team. Your whole purpose is to make sure that our Worlds Finest Navy can...

Thanks! Still have sub school and dept head school to go....OCT wont get here soon enough.

Anyone know someone on the Nevada Gold Crew? I have orders there to be the Chop...so was trying to get some contact info. Thanks in advance Gents

Yeah...I have heard that...but the 700 a month for LT SUB pay will be nice if they want to keep me there for a bit :) Looking forward to it. USS Nevada Gold Crew....here I come :)

Yeah I decided to go Subs....now I just have to get Independent rated and go to Sub School and Dept Head school....then I will finally get to do something in the real Navy again :)

I am not much help on some of your questions...but I was told today at Supply School that they only accept 2 people per year group a year. You get 4 looks at it...so a total of 8-10 people from your year group get selected for the program. Also heard the best way to get selected is to be an...

Doesnt look like you are even at OCS yet.....pretty sure that would make it hard to have experience proving Carriers are the way to go....maybe I am wrong?

Anyone have any info on the life of a Supply Officer in a CB Unit? Have always been interested in being stationed with the CB's, so would like to hear the CB side of the coin when it comes to Supply Officers and what their place is in the Unit. Thanks in advance

Hey man, thanks for the info. You are pretty spot on, def a good time here and not hard at all. The instructors make it pretty hard to fail a test. What ship did you select out of school and how is it going for you? My whole class...including me....are wanting carriers...

Indeed I did Luke ;) Hope you are still having fun with those brown shoes :)

Hey man, thanks for the info. You are pretty spot on, def a good time here and not hard at all. The instructors make it pretty hard to fail a test. What ship did you select out of school and how is it going for you? My whole class...including me....are wanting carriers...

I just wanted to see if there is anyone that is currently going through the school. I start next week and was looking for any pointers before I begin. Any information is always welcome. Thanks in advance!

I was worried about the "Get those brown shoes off while you are in supply school! vs someone just giving you crap" You should get some kind of kick back from this site for all the questions you answer on here. Havent seen too many more CHOPS chime in

The best advice would be to look at the other forum in Airwarriors. They have forums just for commissioning programs. I think that this forum is more focused on information about the supply community. Good luck on getting selected!

I guess I will wear them....I mean I have my EAWS pin ;)

I knew I could wear them per the Regs...just wanted to make sure it was a "put a bullseye on your back" move at Supply School. Thank you for the info though and good looking out

This might cause hate and discontent but want to ask. I bought the brown shoes for flight school...that didnt work out and I am headed to Supply School...rather then throw them in the trash is it highly looked down upon to wear them at supply school? It is solely me not wanting the almost 80$ to...

Wow...a fantastic answer to my question. I honestly want to go carriers and hope to be one of the brightest at the same time. I am a prior surface nuke, so I have been on two carriers already and really would like to go back if given the chance. The idea of being the SUPPO while they are gone...

What platform is considered the hardest or most career enhancing? I am guessing probably subs, but wasn't sure. It seems like there are a lot of supply corps guys on a carrier. Next question is, where would I go to see a list of possible places to be stationed as a supply corps officer? Mainly...

Does anyone know where to look to find the quotas for next FY? I am wanting to transfer to HR and figured Oct would be the best bet....thanks in advance for the help

I just wanted to add that the Enlisted Recruiters are the ones that help you put the package together now. Changed a few years ago...of course it could of changed back. When I was a recruiter I had 2 of the 4 we put in for it get it. The biggest thing I saw that separated the 2 that got it from...

I think that wlawr500 is like me in that when we were enlisted in the fleet, if you were 6 months from PRD and you hadn't called the detailer..you were behind the curve and someone would be asking soon why not. This was so that you wouldn't leave and have your wife be the man of the house and...

wlawr005 is exactly right. She is qualified to be commissioned as a SWO right now with her class if she wanted to. However to be a SNA...she can not commission until she is qualified to commission as a SNA. HOWEVER...she gets a opportunity to go SNA and it comes with a couple week delay of...

Sounds like they are still running it the same way ;) All but 3 of us have orders...either IRR or June 3rd

Still no orders.....Comm in 3 days...awesome. Detailer emailed unit and said June 3 is the earliest report dates we would get. Just for updates for anyone reading

http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/organization/npc/publicaffairs/Pages/NavyPreparestoConductFitnessBetaTest.aspx Not sure if it has been posted yet but this is off Bupers...looks like they are doing a "test" but with no intentions of changing the PRT....then why test it huh?

We had two picked up for Intel at our NROTC this year...non OC midshipmen...so its possible.

Another option you might want to look at....if being a Aviator isn't life or death to you....is going into the Intel Community. Being able to speak Russian could help out a lot and seems like a great community to be involved in. Other than that you are a long way from having to worry about how...

Stashed at the Unit from what I gather. He put reasons on his slate for being sent in Aug. The detailer did tell us that some colleges have not put in their slate yet and they wont get orders till they do. So if you are at a NROTC unit and haven't filled one out or heard of there being a slate...

Update for those of you watching this thread. Guy in my unit got a ship date of Aug 18. So looks like it can be anything over a 3 month spread.

Also don't forget you are going GeoBachleor and is at a NROTC in FLORIDA....easy candidate for moving early and cheap for the Navy. Not sure if this had anything to do with it, but would play in line with what I posted earlier. Glad to see someone is getting orders though! Lets get this show on...

cyristvirus.....same here. They are talking about June 1 time frame for us. We just started getting in NAMI approvals last week though and they said they are hoping to get orders out before May. So we are in the same boat. 2-3 weeks to get out of a lease, go find a new place and sign a lease...

Guess it was a lot of worry for nothing. Thanks congress for pulling the head out ;)

Makes sense...we are in SC and they took some of ours off IRR. Still speculation but at least it is speculation that seems to make sense.

Guess we will all know in a couple of weeks. Good luck on getting switched from SWO to NFO/PILOT but I havent heard anything about that option. Doesnt mean it is not going to happen.

I know that they took 5 mids off IRR last week (at our school) and told them they are going down immediately after grad as well with the OC's. I am suspecting this is due to flight school opening up a little (from what I hear). So if they are sending you after grad with the OC's then I believe...

Did you guys fill out a "slate" sheet asking when you wanted to go down and reasons why? So mid April we should have orders and you guys were told to expect to report beginning of June? I see you are a STA21 as well. I was mainly worried about getting down there and getting a lease lined up and...

I grad in May and have heard we are supposedly going down in May, but haven't heard a word as for anyone getting orders yet. I would think that a month away is already too short...two weeks away from transferring would be a little crazy. Anyone gotten orders or heard anything?

I agree with the rest of them that the EP is going to help loads over the NAMS anyways. I am pretty sure there is a reg that says you can only get one NAM a year...dont quote me on that ;) 1 NCO a month....enjoy that while it lasts!! Congrats on the package and age waiver and best of luck on the...

I was picked up in recruiting for STA-21 NFO, not sure how much the packages differ but if you have any questions PM me. NAMS are a great thing in recruiting and easy to get if you play your cards right. Harder to get as a RINC though. Let me know and hopefully I can help out any way possible

The fact it is included and 6% of the score were the answers I was looking for. Just a little joke thrown in there.

Great info...as always informative AND interesting to see what you will get in response. Ill pass it on...suck = bad Thanks Gents

I have heard both yes and no...Does your PRT get figured into your NSS score in API?

;) Word to that haha. Good watchin out....you know how it is always getting in some trouble wherever I go. Good news for us though that aviation guys are getting put into IFS right away huh. See you down there soon!

Thanks for all the info and again I appoligize, I know it seemed as though I was being a pissy pants. I hope that the need for pilots means there is also a need for NFO's and with that it means I can go straight into IFS without a lot of stash/setting around time. They are saying with all the...
