[QUOTE="Criminal, post: 951466, member Thanks for the info. Are the only plc combined boards in October/November? I have some classes I need to take to get my gpa in line for the program, as well as fitness goals to reach. Are the plc selection boards for 6weekers and 10weekers différent boards...

Congratulations on getting in. When was the deadline for you to meet the selection board if you don’t mind me asking? Is selection for plc-combined just as competitive as occ?

After porn ends part 2

Pilotwannabe. Rookie move there. If these guys are chewing someone out (and this hardly quals as a chewing) my god you better watch from a distance, and feel bad for them in silence. The way it goes is you join the website, ask your first and dumbest question (that's been answered already), get...

Just to let you know I'm a "wanna be" like you right now. I've never served and I haven't even started the application process for plc yet. But From looking around this site, I feel informed enough to answer some of your Q's. Just keep in mind all the information I have is mostly from the...

JWL I think it's recommended. OCS is physically demanding (from what I hear). Less likely to injure your self at jr's/sr's as opposed to combined. Also I think you start racking up time in service upon completion of juniors.

Can you do them on your knuckles instead? I broke my wrist a little over a year ago, and it never healed right. Now it can't fully bend back anymore. Pull-ups are no problem, and doing push-ups on my knuckles is no problem either. I would've gone to the hospital but I don't have health...

Took last week off. And today I did 12 pull ups. I've decided to scrap the pull-up program. I'm gonna start going to my friends gym and work out my shoulders. I'll still be doing pull-ups everyday though of course. I just think lat pull downs and shoulder press will help.

Week 19: 12 pull-ups

Week 18: 12 pull-ups

If those books are still floating around, any chance I could get a hold of them? Unless they're still being used. Robert, did you ever get them?

Week 17: 13 pull-ups

I'm just a college student/wanna be at the moment. But have a look at this thread. https://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/why-its-good-to-be-in-naval-aviation.12115/ I read through it when I'm lacking in motivation.

Week 16: 13 pull-ups

My bad And yes, Tina Fey is decent. I mean, I'd do her.

Wow. 30 minutes ago I was sitting in my living room thinking "I wonder why the thought of being an Osprey pilot has never come through my mind? In that new tina fey "tango fox trot" movie they used one to rescue her boyfriend. What a badass mission to fly. I wonder where those guys end up being...

Week 15: 12 pull-ups

I only max on Mondays

Week 14: 11 pull-ups Bought a weighted vest the other day. I'll be using it every day aside from Monday. Hopefully it gets me out of this plateau.

Week 13: 12 pull-ups I usually do them wide grip. I brought it in a little bit today. Either way, I'm that much closer to 20. I'm extra fired up after finally talking with a staff member at the officer selection office last Tuesday, I had always put it off cause I would start school and then...

Week 12: 10 pull-ups, that 11th one is close.

Week 11: 10 pull-ups

Week 10: 0 pull-ups I went camping and got drunk instead. But I'm hopping back onto the bar tonight.

Week 9: 10 pull-ups

Week 8: 10 pull-ups Started a new diet yesterday. I'm no longer eating greasy fast food. I'm eating 3 healthy choice meals, a banana, and a whey protein shake every day. Trying to drop some weight. I'm 5'10 185lbs. So I'm not really fat, but I definitely have some on me that I can afford to...

I'm a civilian, but I've been busting ass to get a 300 on the Marine pft. For me push ups aren't too tough. I'm currently struggling with pull-ups, but I'm following the Armstrong program which requires 3 max effort push up sets 5 mornings a week. The first week I was doing 30 pushups...

Week 7: 9 pull-ups

Week 6: 7 pull-ups I've decided to do nothing but 5 max sets a day this week, then a max effort every Monday after that followed by an entire week of the next day. So next week will be 4 days of pyramids, the next week 4 days of training sets, the next week as many training sets as possible.

Week 5: 9 pull-ups I'm getting really pissed off with the swinging. I had to stop after some repetitions and wait to stop swinging before continuing with the next rep. I'm worried that I'm simply not doing enough pull-ups weekly. I'm considering switching it up and trying a different program...

Appreciate it bro

Week 4: 8 pull-ups And the 8th one was questionable. The swinging momentum that I get kills me. Also I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. So I don't know if the 110 degree heat is affecting my performance.

Thanks man, from what I've read. The Armstrong program is great, but a lot of guys do end up hitting that plateau. I've actually been anticipating it. So once I get there I'll give your program a go. Maybe alternating programs weekly would be a good idea.

Week 3: 8 pull-ups Probably would of got 9 if I didn't swing so much.

Thanks for the advice man!

Week 2: 7 pull-ups

Knights of Columbus! (insert Ron Burgandy's voice). What did you study with? You don't by chance live in Scottsdale, Arizona do you? I'd pay you to tutor me!

I know there are a lot of threads on pull-ups (especially regarding this program) but I figured I'd make one to inspire candidates, and aspiring candidates, and anyone just trying to be a pull-up stud. I've started this program once, but fell out of it. Last summer I topped out at 15 pull-ups...

Right on man. Hopefully I can make it their next summer!

Thanks for the insight bro. How was jrs? What are your stats? Are you air/ground/law? Yes I'm playing 20 questions with you now haha

I know that you can be accepted into Plc even if you go to a community college. But how often does this happen? How many (if any) of your fellow candidates are enrolled at a community college? Also, once you're accepted and begin the selection phase does the selection board let that negatively...

I've patrolled this website long enough to realize that any question with a "%" sign in it. Gets you ripped a new asshole. Although I would love an answer to this question myself. I have read somewhere on here before, that being accepted to jrs as a freshman is less competitive than combined...

I know that sports make you look good when it comes to selection. The problem is that I'm out of high school. So finding team based sports in the community is kind of difficult. I've decided to take up boxing. I did almost join a softball team. But all the guys were out of shape alcoholics for...

I've yet to even meet with an oso. I live a little over an hour north of Seattle in Mount Vernon. So it's a bit of a hassle to get myself down there (no car). I have no clue what my pft is right now. But I've been running like a mad man. Only getting 12 pull ups currently. Just finished my first...

Treetop just about made me cry in the library! hahahaha

Thanks for the info guys, looks like i'll be a programmer fall of next year. Unless I get picked up for PLC before then.

I've done some searching but only find drug topics. Which are of no use to me. I never did drugs. I did however drink nearly every weekend at lame parties while underage. I never got caught drinking by cops or anything like that thank god (would suck to be applying for PLC with an mip on my...

Hopefully nobody minds if I jump in here with a slightly similar question. But I've heard that if you aren't awarded a scholarship and you enter the program as a college programmer, you have a better shot at picking up a 3/2 year scholarship the next year. As opposed to if you just stayed out...

Let me start by saying I'm a 21 year old Naval Aviator wanna be, myself. So I'm not as "in the know" compared to most the guys on here. But I did read a comment in the NROTC section that as a Marine option you gan get a guaranteed flight spot, don't take my word as fact though, definitely do a...

I'm wondering what the step by step process is. I have searched the forums but have yet to find the answers I need. I want to have as much done as possible for the application process upon meeting with the oso. I'm working out like crazy so I can achieve a 300 pft. and I'm studying my arco...
