Dig the flyer.... I'll pass the word onto some guys I know heading this way.

Selections out of K-rock were crazy competitive last week, 4 guys made commodores list, and there were I think 6 guys looking for VAQ of which 3 got it, 3 didn't, basically don't feel bad. That being said I feel for ya and the other guys that didn't get what they wanted, but it should be a blast...

Not sure what the "hot pad" is, but we just had a few briefing spaces in the hanger pictured...

Some love from last months CQ in Key West ;) 140118-N-EB301-382 ATLANTIC OCEAN (Jan. 18, 2014) A C-2A Greyhound assigned to the Rawhides of the Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VRC) 40 takes off from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). Theodore...

Get your fill of F35 photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/77258709@N06/ Can anyone tell where these were taken?

I would say this is not entirely true I know of a few guys who were able to switch from NFO to Pilot during or after API. NFO's and Pilots are in the same boat till then, once you start primary as an NFO you can count on staying an NFO. The Navy is hurting for Pilots right now, that's why they...

Sorry boostadikt but many of your photos are from Life magazine ane were therefore copyrighted. You can't post copyrighted materials. You can post a link to them if you want. HAL Pilot.

Extremely interested, PM me your # and a good time to call if its still available.

Sooo many people fail that eye test. Lots of people in my OCS class went back for 2nd and 3rd tries. A few DOR'd, a few re-designated, and a few managed to pass. I think I got 20/30 left eye and 20/40 right eye at OCS, Nami I got 20/20 (barely) and at the civilian doc for IFS class 3 I got...

This guys youtube channel is pretty solid

Yeah maybe, others cars seemed to come out okay. I was also there in the winter months when it is terrifyingly cold and windy, and they don't let you outside except to march to chow or class. Maybe that had some effect. FYI this is where you will be parking: on the water ... try to park on the...

It's a Lexus, and I'm probably making it sound worse than it is, but I like to keep my stuff nice. The exhaust isn't rusted out to the point with holes in it or anything but the whole thing has an outer color of rust now. The clear coat is peeling in a few spots on the roof, the largest being...

I bought a shiny rust free car 2 months before OCS. After OCS my brakes were completely rusted together. Nothing like giving it full throttle to get the rotors to break free, after the drive to Pcola they were still terrible and I had to change the pads and turn the rotors on all 4. My exhaust...

I've only done 4 months in Pensacola, and 4 months in Corpus, but I pretty much agree with what's already been said. The girls suck both places but slightly less in Pensacola. I hated how spread out Pensacola was, there was some key places but mostly I felt like there was nothing there but the...

Correct, you will need to know all the ranks verbatim for Marines and Navy, Enlisted and Officer. 4th week I sang (screamed) both Anchors Aweigh and Marines Hymn. 8th week you will also need to know warfare devices verbatim, and a general knowledge of "appendix C" which is weapons and...

I know this isn't really the proper place, but me and two other guys just moved into a 4 bedroom house on the south side, pretty nice house about 2 years old. We have an open bedroom, if anyone is interested shoot me a message and I can provide more details. We are all in the first month of primary.

"David Axe at the Wired (12/14) "Danger Room" blog writes that the F-35 program is about to become "a lot pricier" because of "13 different design flaws uncovered in the last two months by a hush-hush panel of five Pentagon experts. It could cost up to a billion dollars to fix the flaws on...

Haha harsh... I've been planning on driving, it's just that 2300 miles seems rough just for a place to stash my stuff. I read elsewhere that you can get "secured" as early as 4 weeks and you are allowed to leave base. Is that true, and how often would you want to leave base? I guess I was just...

I'm still really trying to figure this out, so far the biggest reason mentioned is that you get to stash stuff in your car. While the cons are it has to sit by the ocean with seagulls and salt water corrosion for 12 weeks, and the loooong drive. Is there going to be any real reason I need it out...

Yeah, changing my OCS date is the LAST thing I want. But they told me that if anything of my status changed before I shipped I had to let them know, as my FS letter might have to be re-issued, no date change but re-signed by command. I don't want to get to OCS and have them be pissed that I saw...

Ha, I knew you guys were gonna say that, I will talk to my recruiter today to see what will need to happen and then make an appointment, Thanks.

Hmm... Read this article, and it seems to nail a few things down. http://www.drpribut.com/sports/spitb.html

Looking for some help here, I hurt my knee about a month and a half ago doing 400 m sprints. Before this I was running 5-6 miles 3 times a week and had absolutely no issues, so right off the bat I don't think it is the way I run. Anyway it got pretty swollen and hurt really bad. I took it easy...

Just got a final select date 12 February 2012! I was on the alternate list as well, I think they got a pretty good sized quota, hopefully a lot of dates come rushing in soon, hope to see you all in Pensacola some time.

aodell and SDPilot do you know when all your stuff was officially uploaded, I am secondary also and I tried to get everything in quickly, My stuff was uploaded to CNRC on Oct 17. Since you guys got dates it would help everyone know where they stand. As people drop they pull people off the...

FY 12 Numbers Program Surface (Ocean Option): 1 Pilot: 75 Public Affairs Officer: 2 Oceanography: 2 Information Warfare: 2 Supply: 57 EDO (SEGA): 4 Cyber Warfare: 3 Also from the site he says: " Supply has a goal of 94 and has 44 pro rec'd yes." Which is 50 more needed and he lists...

Primary alternates were for FY12, alternates were for FY13. This might mean that all the alternates will be pushed to FY13, and maybe even a few selects. When can we expect to see people getting FS dates?

I really hope you're wrong, this is the worst possible news. I went to the blogspot but hopefully there is some catch or something

Yeah, there were 85 selects and 28 primaries IIRC, so yeah actually 113 haha. I'm just saying that nothing is certain, I think the only alternates that got picked up so far are because some selects gave up the pro-rec, there is no 100% guarantee all 113 will see FS in FY12. While I do hope so...

Are you talking about FY13? There was some "good" info that came in that said there would be 114 or something selects from the August board for FY12, this came out to be untrue. They still don't know the quota for FY12 so I would be EXTREMELY skeptical of any numbers thrown around for FY13 at...

The plot thickens....

And the submit date is upon us! I have been waiting for some new info to pop up.... So milsra have you heard anything new? :D This board has been the best source of info so far, and I really don't have any other way to know when the quota has come in and what it will be. When are they trying to...

you guys might want to wait it out a bit, from my situation I tried to apply for the Jan board last year, started getting everything ready in November held off on signing and whatnot, but the story is every month the "possible" board was cancelled and after every month of trying to update things...

Wow, congrats and please keep us updated.

HAHA I don't plan on dying from pushups, but yeah at the same time what if that kid would have been allowed to ship, got to boot camp and died there or when others depended on him? Yeah it's sad but the screening is there for a reason.

OR told me to do it, I guess I don't know if it is required but it can't hurt right?

Did MEPS last week, I am doing my PRT on Thursday.

Just talked to my recruiter apparently this is no longer true. PRT has been reinstated, they just had to have some people go through some certification stuff to make sure it wouldn't happen again.

So it seems like the fate of the primary alternates/alternates may rest on the FY12 quota. Does anyone have any info on when this might be decided? To me it seems like officer selection has been down in every area, people are getting FS dates very soon, so I think they have OCS slots to fill...

Ha I'll be crossing my fingers for sure, tough decision, but I wish you the best of luck.

Haha I got like 4, but 1 is of the Wright Brothers cuz I'm an aero nerd

My recruiter said that there were a lot of applications that were submitted but didn't get forwarded to the board, I don't know anything past that. Sorry if that's where you fell.

This is what I posted in the August 2011 thread. I figure maybe some of my questions will be better suited here. selected SNA secondary alternate 7/7/7/60 3.2 GPA in Aerospace engineering, Math minor/ 3.73 engineering GPA Anyway I'm trying to figure this all out, based on whats posted...

selected SNA secondary alternate 7/7/7/60 3.2 GPA in Aerospace engineering/ 3.73 engineering GPA, see as a freshmen I thought it would be cool to get all C's. It's harder to recover from that than you might think.... Funny thing is I had a nice piece written up about how I worked nonstop...

My recruiter is out of town till Monday, gonna be a long weekend....

Haha, I'm an Aerospace engineer that got 7/7/7.... so yeah thanks for that. To justify, I looked at one practice test, thought it was easy, and took the test. I thought nothing of the ASTB but it was much harder than I expected, my OR thought it was fine so I never re-took. I would hope that no...

Got all my paperwork updated and submitted for the August review. I can't thank you you guys enough, the info on this board saved me big time.
