    Flight Suits and NWUs?

    TW-6 (at least VT-10) was fine with us wearing tan during the summer while I was there. Don't know if it changed.

    NRC Due Date vs OCS Start

    I was in the July '13 board and started OCS in January '14. Some people were earlier, others later. Too many factors to really pinpoint it.

    Do fully furnished apartments exist in P-Cola?

    I had a fully furnished unit at Snug Harbor. I was going through 2 Paradise Realty. Maybe check with them?

    Damn, must have been too recent or something (or NAMI woke up on the wrong side of the bed). I had a quarter of mine cut out in 2006 and provided all the medical and rehab paperwork and proof of playing several sports after and had zero issues. I don't even remember having to submit a waiver.

    OCS Confused on the Board Selection Process

    It sounds like you're talking about Marine Corps, is that correct? If so, I recommend checking out this subforum instead: https://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?forums/marine-ocs.54/

    If indoors, you'll be on a padded mat. If outdoors, on the football field.

    Updated list of things to bring?

    Next time, I recommend using the search function. This question has been asked numerous times in this thread and others. The answer is no, the color of your underwear does not matter.

    Updated list of things to bring?

    You won't wear any embroidered rank during OCS. You'll get the anchor/bar pins during the appropriate stages.

    Insider Scoop on Navy OCS

    For us (a little over a year ago), it went like this: -Jump off the tower -Go over to the wall and get in line -Swim -Walk back over the other end of the pool and everyone does the float together.

    Anthropometric issues (are you too big or even too small or...)

    If you're anthro'd out for Pipeline C, you will not have C available to you. It won't even be an option. You will get one of the ones you are qualified for. It isn't set that student #1-whatever gets this aircraft and then #10-bottom have to have this one. It just doesn't work like that. A...

    Looking in Norfolk

    Just got up here for the FRS and looking for a place to live. I've used other resources and have appointments set up but thought I might as well post something here too. Who has a good recommendation or knows of an availability around Naval Station Norfolk?

    NFO Questions

    Right now, it's just the guys going to VP-30. We're being told that FRS needs more P3 NFOs than projected and they're trying to fill spots ASAP. Us E-2 guys and the poolees are still sticking around.

    OCS Seeking opinions: Decline AF OTS commission for Navy OCS?

    What is your vision? Are you correctable to 20/20?

    NFO Questions

    VP-30 just switched a bunch of the VT-4 P-8 selectees to P-3/EP-3 and doubling up their sims to push them through ASAP. I guess they had to go back to taking some guys straight from VT-10 again to fill classes.
