Judging by your grammar and syntax, as well as spelling, I'm going to just assume that your grades are shitty because you're stupid, and not because you're some martyr that can "do it all."

And my guess was going to be, "Ladies and gentlemen of Airwarriors, 1 in 10 members of this site has genital herpes."

Unless, of course, you're past the age limit and non prior.

I was in 6th grade... I know really young.. the teacher let us go to the bathrooms to change for PE when the first tower was hit, they ran to the bathrooms and dragged us back into our classroom... where they made us do PE inside after we moved the desks around. The teacher tried to turn on the...

Thank you very much! I hadn't thought of the letter from the hospital, that's an excellent idea.

I broke my ankle 8 years ago, and called the hospital I went to to get documentation to put on my medical pre screen kit, but they informed me that they throw out all documents after 7 years... so obviously I couldn't get anything and that's what I wrote on the form... there's no possible way...

Either I got confused on the FY or he got confused on the FY.

I feel the same way, that's why I take it with a grain of salt.

So the NY OR posted a blog today... and even though I take everything he says with a grain of salt (especially since no 2 ORs ever have the same info), his info was that the the FY12 quotas should be ~260 officers for all designators. He pretty much said that nothing will open up until next...

Concur 100%.

I agree 110% on the underlined. As for the bold, no disrespect intended but... I didn't think you had started flight school or finished OCS yet.

That's what I did. I kept at 400 words. I figured they read the same cliche patriotic bullcrap over and over again in over a hundred packages so why make it any longer when most of it is fluff? Just get to the point and end it.

Wow... I didn't even notice box #15 when I first filled it out.. guess that's what I get for doing it in the middle of the night lol

Speaking of all these ECs... I just looked at my app again and saw that they only have 2 slots to list for your ECs... did everyone else just mention the rest of them in your moto statements or is there anywhere else to continue listing them out... I just mentioned a few extra ones on the moto...

There's where you're wrong. Everyone should have doubts or worry to a degree until at least pro-rec. Just because you look like Michael Jordan on paper doesn't mean the board will think you're right for the job.

I thought the exact same thing.

My OR won't let me do a physical until pro-rec.

I'll be so pissed if there's a supply board in September and I miss that board too...

Completely understandable. Thanks for the insight!

Hahahathe Army is really that bad?

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Think I'll try to broaden my options now.

I've heard a lot of mixed things on this... is it possible to apply for let's say Army OCS or Marine OCS while applying for Navy OCS at the same time?

Thanks for the info! I'm glad I've got all my documentation and went through the process so far, and I'm sure I don't still have ADD, but a part of me didn't like the sound of a test... Mainly because I have no clue how they actually test it but now I'm assuming it's just a series of...

How do you know this if you don't mind me asking? I was instructed by my OR that the standard way MEPS deals with this is to get documentation from my doctor stating I'm no longer on meds and my academic performance hasn't diminished at the same time. Idk, as long as I don't have to pay for the...

I would just say that if your state rep is jut gonna sum up your resume to the board and doesn't know you personally, then it might not add a whole lot. I think LORs are meant to come from individuals who know your work on a more personal level than what's just stated on a resume. However, if...

Thanks for the info everyone! Think I'll keep the score I have for now and if nonselect then retest. Best of luck to everyone waiting to hear back from this month's selection board!

Random thought I just had... I tried searching to see if I could find what I had recalled someone saying on here, but couldn't find it so thought I'd just ask here. I believe it was said in one of the threads on AW that the way the whole process works is that you meet with your OR and get your...

Nah, I was on medicine for ADD. NAMI's guide for getting a waiver for this was that I had to get off the meds for at a least a year and maintain good grades in school, which I've demonstrated. I've been busting my ass ever since, so in a way I feel like I've been applying for over a year lol but...

For me, the first time I walked into my OR's office was June 2010. Then I was told I had to wait a year for medical purposes before he could even work with me. February 2011 I went back and took the ASTB and then June 2011 I was finally eligible to start my application. So, technically I've only...

Yaaaayyyyyyy :(

I was hoping to get in for Supply... but due to my OR being gone a lot and some medical stuff... that I have finally cleared up, I wasn't able to get in. In fact, I went by my OR's office today... and he hasn't even started my file yet even though he has my moto statement, application documents...

What exactly do they mean by alternates anyway?

Since I wasn't able to get in for this board, just curious, the next FY selection should start sometime in October or after, correct? Last time I went to my OR, he said I probably wouldn't be able to get into a board until they started selecting for the next FY, which at this point I'm not sure...

Yeah, you can click no, but I always send both receipts so they know that I know they've gotten it at least. They can click no so I don't know they've read it, but I feel like if someone sends a receipt it's because it's an important email or they would like a timely response.

I'm not having a hard time getting in touch with my processor... for me, it's my OR who seems to be on leave every other day. I can't even get my package done because he's always gone. As for emails, that's why I always put a receipt on it so as soon as they open it up, you'll get an email...

Well that's pretty legit then!

Haha, 2 replies: one said yay the other nay. Guess I'll just go with the flow and my OR... Good luck to everyone in August!

Would you happen to know if supply is still meeting in August?

I actually had to Google that. I'm not a huge super hero fan. My username is a Seinfeld reference (as reinforced by my signature). I was originally going to put GotNoGreenLantern, but that was too long.

Who are you, Marlon Brando?

I'm sorry, but I was under the impression that a forum is essentially a discussion board.

I'm surprised we're not 50th now. Rick Scott along with all the other Florida legislatures just cut back education funding by over a billion dollars.... you know, because our education was so great to begin with that it didn't need any more money to improve it or maintain it's current level of suck.

According to wikipedia (which has it cited at the bottom of the page too), FSU is a Tier 1 research institution (I'm gonna guess we're closer to the bottom of the list though haha).

I definitely have respect for Cornell. A lot of people I know that go to UF think of it as if it were an Ivy League, and while it is a good school... it's definitely not an Ivy League. I'm a Nole (not even gonna say it's better than UF or compare it to an Ivy), so of course I had to hate on the...

I see that you're from FL. I know that you probably go to school out of state, but please don't tell me this prestigious school is UF.

In September 2012, right?

I've had enough of that blog. All ORs have conflicting information. Just because he blogs about it doesn't mean his information is any better. He could be wrong about the upcoming boards or he could be right. But I'm tired of him acting like his advice and word are good.

To echo what Swanee said, sports are great. There's also a lot of other stuff you could do on campus too. If you're really fit and your university has a gym, see about maybe getting a job as a personal trainer or something. They consider those fitness teams and it shows the responsibility of...

I got confused when I first read that too, but I think he means commissioning/graduating from OCS.

Well, just got back from my OR. He said nothing about the August boards being cancelled... Then again, he knows I'm going for Supply. So, either he hasn't been informed of any board cancellations yet, or it just wasn't worth mentioning to me given the designator I'm applying for.
