If Guns has the skill and the sack to back up his mouth, we all better watch out. I think he is in for one helluva awake up call, but that is just one man's opinion.

Hey Dairy I'm sitting on a reapplication myself. Doing the same type things you are in order to make package stronger. Good luck to all of you. Hang in there. Rob

trt23, Wasn't the movie called "The Right Stuff"?

Gotta agree....Depp is a douchebag.

JayManC - Not that this is something to brag about, but I was one of the unfortunate few to receive a pro rec and not be selected. There are a couple of other posters on this site that are in the same boat. As you did I took it for granted that my pro rec meant that I had a spot. It only...

Frogfoot, While it is true that pilot slots are extremely competitive right now, no one knows what the needs of the Navy will be in 2006. You recruiter is probably trying keep you from wasting your time. If you are set on flying for the Navy apply anyway. All they can do is tell you no.

Brooke, My recruiter told me the same thing. Exact words were, "It's just a formality from this point." I have a clean background, good pft, and no physical problems. It just shows you that there are no guarantees. Don't count on it until you swear in. From what I have found out this is...

After submitting the procedure is simple...Wait. Maybe a week maybe much, much longer. The Navy wheels turn at their own pace. The final decision is made by NRC in Millington, TN. There is no way to check on the status of your application other than word of mouth that trickles down to your...

The highest scores are 80, 9, 9, & 9.

NavyLonghorn, Thank you for the reality check. That makes all my problems seems petty and really puts things into perspective for me.

Also Physics and Chemistry.

My measurements were taken once by my recruiter.

Bunk, Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not sure what your options are if you are "kicked out." I meant that you will not be sent home simply because of an injury.

Enishi- If you are rejected you may reapply. Time is the determining factor. To answer your other question, my understanding is that if you are injured you are simply rolled into another class. This delays your graduation, but you still get to finish. As a disclaimer, I must say that I...

JPC, You don't lose your pro req unless you don't get selected. Just hope that a slot opens while you are in limbo.

Thanks Daedalus. I appreciate the encouragement.

JPC- I had the unfortunate experience of being pro rec'd only to have SNA fill up before I was picked up for final selection. The more time I spend on this forum, the more I realize that there are no guarantees in the Navy and everyone has different experiences. I wish you only the best of...

I realize that military aviation is not the most family oriented career. I would like feedback from aviators and nfos about their experience. Most importantly, which aviation community will allow me to be with my family most often. I know that it depends on the squadron and other factors. I...

Good luck Spin.

The NFL overtime is already unfair. Heap on calls like that and you have got a big obstacle to overcome by losing a coin toss.

Pretty cool. Where was the picture taken?

Maybe I didn't get picked up for Crypto because I could not spell it!

I found out two days ago that I was not selected. I was pro rec'd in August, but did not make final selection. I applied for 1.SNA, 2.Intel, 3.Crpyto. I plan on reapplying after this semester.

Just to pass on my experience. I was pro rec'd for SNA back in August, and have been waiting for final selection. I found out yesterday that I was not accepted. My recruiter told me, and I quote, "Everything is closed." He has been straight with me through the entire process and has no...

Satin, USUALLY you get your application, LOR, and transcripts together and send them. Then, if professionally recommended from these you do the PRT and the physical in order to make final selection. It can vary in order though. Sometimes a recruiter will want you to go ahead with the...

Rgassoff, that sucks! I hope it's not that long. What was your designator and were you going for BDCP? Congrats anyway.

I was pro rec'd for SNA/BDCP back in July and still haven't heard that I made final selection. Has anyone else had to wait this long?

Do you have to complete IFS if you already have your PPL? Also, if you are npq'd for sna do you have any say in which community you go to?

I have the same problem. What's the deal?

Congrats Navsup! I hope I hear soon as well. Rob

Pretty cool.

Navsup, I'm still waiting too. I was told the same thing. End of the fiscal...yada..yada. Should be this month or early October. Good luck guys. Rob

Punac, I will graduate in May and for my last semester I only have to have three credit hours to graduate. However, I was told to pick up electives to maintain fulltime status. I cannot give you a concrete answer. I would make sure to let your recruiter know and see what he has to say. Rob

If you want some help check out the book Total Immersion by Terry Laughlin. It helped me out. It shows you that swimming has much more to do with form than fitness. The author also has a web site (www.totalimmersion.com) with info on workshops and such. Wink - Did you have to walk uphill in...

Right on EA-6B1

BDCPUAH- I'm with you on the SEC being the strongest overall conference. However, LSU is going to give Georgia a run for their money in the championship. As for national champs it is still early in the season to make projections. If I had to though, I would guess Oklahoma or maybe USC after...

Nate, Study hard man. Process design was one of the hardest classes that I have ever taken. You might think about auditing the circuits class. That way if things get ugly you can bail, and it will not look bad on your transcript. Don't give up man. Rob

Littledancerus, Don't get discouraged. To answer your question, yes you do have to include the transcript from American U. Good luck with the resubmit, Rob

Be honest. Tell the board what you truly believe not what you think they want to hear. What do you think they value more honesty or canned answers? I am willing to bet they can tell the difference between the two. Rob

Navsup, Have you heard anything yet? I am STILL waiting.

Just read it. The herds of zebras and wild animals in Africa are all hunted by the lion. The lion goes after the easiest kill. This is usually one of the slowest or weakest animals in the herd. This animals inferior genetics are then removed from the herd. The herd, as a whole, is thus...

Will, Stay off of it. After you think it is completely healed, give it another couple of weeks. Farkle is right. This is one time when you don't need to be tough about it. There are plently of other exercises to do without using it. How proficient of a swimmer are you? Might be an ideal...

I believe that the fiscal year starts October 15, but Navy101 is right. Contact a recruiter as soon as possible to get the ball rolling. Rob

Hey Navsup, I posted a similar forum, and I did not hear of a single applicant who was prof rec'd but who didn't make final selection. I asked my recruiter's civilian processor if she knew of any instances where this was the case. She told me that unless you are hiding something (ie...

Bisouss - I have to disagree with you. I am sure there are some recruiters out there that are not worth the space they take up; however, my recruiter was awesome. He was incredibly helpful. He helped me with several issues. Do not stereotype all the hard working recruiters out there just...

Ayredawg, Talk to your OSO. He/she should have it for you. I received an unofficial score before my test was even sent off for processing. Rob

Going on three weeks now, and I was told to expect a wait of at least one month. Please let me know if/when you guys hear something, and also if you received an OCS date when you swore in. Thanks. Rob

Ryoukai, The pay scale is the same for all branches and can be obtained from several different sources. You can ask your recruiter for an "All Hands Owners Manual" or do a search online to find the scale.

Could anyone with experience dealing with the Military Insurance Group, TRICare Prime/HMO, please let me know which plan is the best. Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated.
