    Does taking ROTC orders kill chance for O4 or selection for redes?

    I'd like to go HR or PAO. I'll only have a couple years left before I hit my 20, and I'd prefer to have my final years NOT as a DH in a VP squadron. Hell, if I get HR or PAO, I'd stay longer than 20 if I could. I'm not really sure how redesignation works with regards to my community letting...

    Does taking ROTC orders kill chance for O4 or selection for redes?

    If an NFO were to take ROTC orders for their shore tour...does that kill chances for selection to O4, or just for DH selection? Also, let's assume that same individual decides they want to redes after their shore tour...would the ROTC orders hurt their chances of getting picked up for redes...

    Lol yes it is. I guess I just didn't word it that way.

    Likelihood of being selected to go P3?

    I'm prior enlisted and came from the P3 community. It's what I know, and I know exactly what I'm getting myself into by going P3. Becoming a P3 NFO is the reason I joined the program...to eventually become a TACCO on a P3. I didn't even request to go pilot. I've had my eyes on P3 NFO since...

    Likelihood of being selected to go P3?

    I've heard of this alleged E2 draft as well, but I think that was more for people that were already in Intermediate. I haven't really seen it affecting Primary numbers too much, but I do know a more-than-normal amount people have been selected to go E2 out of intermediate as opposed to jets...

    Likelihood of being selected to go P3?

    I talk to them all the time about it, but I'm just trying to get some other views as well. Also, I'm NFO...not pilot. Does that make a bigger difference?

    Likelihood of being selected to go P3?

    I'm about to finish Primary soon, and I'm desperately hoping to be selected to go P3. Is this a billet that's generally hard to get?

    Anyone out there who can tutor for API?

    I was hoping to find someone who can tutor me for my API classes. Does anyone know if anything like this exists? Thanks in advance!

    In OCS, stil awaiting a NAMI letter so I can get my orders.

    lol...no it's not a flight from RI to Ohio. It's a flight overseas for vacation for me since we get leave between OCS and Pensacola report date.

    Hi, everyone. I've made it through OCS so far, and I'm due to graduate next week. Unfortunately, NONE of us aviators or NFOs have received our NAMI letters yet, so we cannot receive our orders either:/ Is this normal practice for it to take so long? To make matters worse, I'm told that...

    Heartburn/Indigestion enough to be sent home from OCS?

    I was recently prescribed Nexium (after finishing MEPS) because I have been getting some heartburn/indigestion. Is this something serious enough to be medically discharged and sent home from OCS? If I ask for Nexium, will they give it to me..or will they just say I'm not fit for duty? As a...

    Sweat-Ex at API to Sushi across the USA

    Im sorry, but what exactly is NSS? What does a 40 NSS translate into as a percentage? Is a 40 really hard to get? How many people generally end up not making the cut and get sent home without a chance to redesignate?

    Possible to take leave during API?

    Can one take leave during API at all, or would it mean destroying one's chances of passing? I was hoping to take 2-3 days, but I won't do it if it will hurt me in the long run.

    Sweat-Ex at API to Sushi across the USA

    So can SNA's/NFO's transition to another designator pretty easily if they are not performing well in flight school? I thought if you didn't do well that the Navy just automatically kicked out.

    Sweat-Ex at API to Sushi across the USA

    A friend of mine recently FAILED API, and he says he finished with a 94%. Is this possible, or is he just not telling me everything? He was an SNA. After this, he transferred into the Intel Officer designator, and it now waiting to class up for Intel school in Virginia. Is this common...

    How long do you have before you have to swear in (after FS)?

    I'm just curious...does one have to swear in immediately after getting their Final Selection letter? Would it hurt or inhibit anything at all if one were to swear in a MONTH before their slotted OCS date? Thanks in advance for everyone's guidance!

    Already have a 1-year old TS clearance, will I have to get a new one for my FS?

    So when exactly can I expect to get this interview? I've heard nothing from anyone. My recruiter said they weren't going to do another one.

    Already have a 1-year old TS clearance, will I have to get a new one for my FS?

    I have already been Pro-Rec'd from the March 2010 board. However, I'm still waiting on my Final Select letter. I was enlisted for 5 years, and I just had a Top Secret clearance completed back in February 2009, and then I separated from the Navy shortly thereafter. I had to fill out a "pen...

    Can delay in IRR conditional release make me lose my FS?

    I've been waiting for my Final Select letter...and I recently got a call from my recruiter saying that I needed to do another "Conditional Release Form" for the IRR (PER-913). I've had this form turned in for two weeks now, and STILL it has not been signed and sent back for my FS. I'm...

    CareerO-3...thanks for your post. I agree that this thread easily shows how people can jump to conclusions. I guess I could have chosen different words. I simply wanted to know where NFOs can be stationed, and if the locations are in/near big cities....and that turned into "your priorities...

    Ontoptime...I've already been accepted into OCS. I guess taking your approach to things, I should just completely disregard the future, correct? If I had questions about API, or anything else, I would ask them. Other threads have already answered my questions regarding those topics, so I need...

    Thanks for your input, Armada! Atsugi sounds ideal! Is that a place that many people fight for, generally? And thanks for not trying to address my "priorities". I guess I should purely focus on spending 24 hours a day on working, as opposed to giving any thought to a personal life at all.

    Honestly, as a new NFO, how likely is it that I'll be stationed in some tiny small to

    I never stated that I'm making career choices based on "where I can chase poon.". I just simply asked about being stationed in a larger city, with a good nightlife. I don't see any problem in knowing my options, and choosing one that will satisfy my professional goals as well as my personal...

    I know where all of our air stations are, but I'm finding that we can also have squadrons on other bases...such as AF and Marine bases. Those are the ones I've not found a lot of info on. Are there Navy squadrons on the miramar base? Can I be stationed at training squadrons or reserve/fts...

    I've been trying to determine the numerous squadron locations throughout the world, and I keep finding answers that don't quite match up. In general, I'm just wondering the likelihood of me ending up in some tiny little town. I'd hate to be stuck on Whidbey Island where there is nothing to do...

    The basics of API

    So if API is only 6 weeks long, then how can anyone get an apartment off-base for that short of time?
  31. A

    The basics of API

    Just a quick question...is API like another boot camp? Do you live offbase? Do you still have free time, or are you in class all day and all evening?

    Online degrees and OCS

    I attended a brick and mortar school for two years, but then I got my degree from an online university. Thomas Edison State College. I was pro-recd in March, and I'm headed to OCS in October. No worries about your online degree, as long as it is regionally accredited.

    March 2010 Boards

    I was selected to be an NFO, and MEPS told me I did not even need a depth-perception test. Is this correct? I've already completely turned in everything for my FS, and there were apparently no problems...but I thought surely I would need the depth perception test as an NFO.

    Flooding In the South Going to Affect Navy OCS Applications

    Is there anyone that we can call to check the status of Final Selection Letters/OCS slated dates? WIth stories of people "losing" their Pro-Rec's...I'm getting a little paranoid:/ Is this happening only to pilots, or to NFOs as well? Any idea when Millington will be back up and running? I've...

    Also, per my recruiter, most OCS dates for those waiting on Final Select letters have been in the September timeframe. That's technically FY10, but commissioning date is FY11, of course.

    Boards and selection

    I know that a friend of mine arrived in Pensacola back in the end of October 09. He STILL has not class up. He's basically been going into an office, sitting there for two hours, and then leaving for the day to sit on the beach. Sucks to be on hold for so long, but hey, that doesn't sound...

    My recruiter told me he thought it could definitely impact how quickly things are processed...but that's the extent of what I got out of him.

    Bad to go to MEPS with a hangover? Can it affect bloodwork results?

    Thanks for the info! My last drink was around 3:30AM (PST) last night...6 hours ago. But I'm not going to MEPS until 5:45AM tomorrow (Eastern Time). It will roughly be about 24 hours between my last drink and walking through the door at MEPS. I'm not sure what time the blood work will be...

    Bad to go to MEPS with a hangover? Can it affect bloodwork results?

    I'm not too worried about the urine screen. It will be about 40 hours after my last drink when I get into MEPS. I'm just worried if it will elevate any of my bloodwork numbers.
