    Flying for Navy, Marines or Air Force?

    Air Force training tends to be more structured, I don't know that I'd agree it's easier. The Air Force may be more anal than the Navy in training, but the there are no hindden card tricks to keep you in the dark. Which is better, who knows, decide where do you want to live and then apply for...

    OCS Supply goodbye?

    I would stress that you were required to work your way through college on your motivational statement, this will balance the scales against those who have higher GPA's than you. Also, the Navy recognizes the commitenment to play college sports is tremendous, so is it a long shot, nope.

    NFO?

    Ask your recruiter if he can arrange for a VIP trip. Recruiting commands are allotted funds for taking people on good deal trips, most time these funds a for Nuke applicants since they're typically the hardest ones for the Navy to recruit. NAS Pensacola is an open base because of the museum, so...

    NFO?

    In the end take whatever will make you happiest. Being an NFO has been a great experience and a choice I will never regret making, but I understood that I was not going to be a pilot. If you would never be happy unless you were a pilot then your decision is made. Remeber though opportunity only...

    Graduate Student With Questions

    Honestly, Stats is 100% correct. Your age is going to be a limiting factor for the Officer Programs if you walk off the streets wanting SEALs, unless of course your in your early twenties. Do not become a Supply or any other Officer with the intention of switching to Seals, this is highly...

    What kind of "cross-country" course is the PRT on?

    The cross country course being referred to, if it still exists, is nothing to stress over. It was, and maybe still is, situated behind the senior the officer's housing and the indoor swimming pool. If my mind hasn't slipped to much over time it also included a lap around the outside of the...

    Honestly, there are all types of people in all the services. That Catholic vs. Protestant rigamarole you hear from now and then is b.s.

    One crazy early evening back in college

    If the police deparment was called most likely they retained a record and you may one day have to explain it to OPM, so what. It was a BB gun and I'm guessing you were pretty young, don't sweat it if asked, just explain the incident so you don't lose credibility.

    Chances with one night of trouble

    PAO is the Navy's media officer. Normally, PAO's are fleet officer's who redesignate, so the need to solicit civilians is extremely limited. As for police officers the Navy calls them Master at Arms and these individuals are handled through the enlisted programs offices. Obtaining a commission...

    ADVICE!!???

    Physically - Learn to relax and take things in stride, flight school is an exercise to measure who among the crowd is willing to jump through the required hoops. Unlike Nuke which is stressful 100% of the time. Academically - Jeppensen Priviate and Instrument manuals will help you understand the...

    I agree. There is a fine line between honest and dishonest. But remember after your done with the training pipleline your objective is to fly planes not render absolution. I'll freely admit to having stolen a few candy bars from the local five and dime store, although if asked if I've ever...

    NUPOC: Surface vs. Subs

    Unfortunately unless you are a female then you'll have a hard time getting surface nuke anytime soon. If your a female then you'll have to go surface. So since your probably male then I guess your question is fast attack vs. boomer.

    Height Requirements---- Help!

    The height is set by the need to simply see over the dashboard. Anthro's are as follows - Sitting Height - 32-41" Functional Reach - 28" min. Butt knee length - 21.9 - 28" Butt leg length - 36-50" The AF may have given you the male standards.

    We Regret to Inform you etc............

    The important thing is that you committed yourself to reapplying. The motivational statement is important since it allows them to see your writing style which will become more important the further along in your career you get. If you applied for Seaman to Admiral, I thought it was customary...

    trying to get into OCS?

    Only your cumulative college GPA is looked at. Currently, a 3.4 or above is considered competative. A reccomendation letter from your instructors at the military academy would be beneficial though. Things that may work to offset your GPA is that you held a full time job as a Resident Attendant...

    finding a wife

    That's awesome! I'm just fueling his fears. In truth, maturity on both your parts puts these fears to bed. This stated, anyone with these obsessive fears is too young to be married. Or she is cheating on him. TEEHEE.

    finding a wife

    Ya' and be confident that she's being cuddled by another in your absence so she won't be lonely. Call via the POTS line and e-mail her at odd times to verify she at home and listen for mysterious voices. If you suspect something ill - fated is occurring, tell her your deploying to Yemen, stay at...

    Intel after NROTC?

    Great question. It has always been my understanding that ROTC students had to accept a unrestricted line billet wheter or not restricted billets (jobs) were open. I would call the ROTC unit directly at GWU and ask to speak with one of the instructors. Rumor has it that there have been ROTC...

    Okay, I've been in eight years and gross 72 K much of which is not Federally taxable. 48 States do not have any state taxes for military members.

    I 100% with you. Everyone today wants people to cry for them for simply doing their job.
