If timing works, and you immediately report to VP-30, finish on time, , you'lll might be selected to VP-46 just prior to their last P-3 deployment, or VP-40. Either way, you'll go through the transition, and should be P-8 PPC by your PRD. look forward to the PNW, its a gorgeous place.

This breaks me every time. Brb. Gonna go cry now.

I think at this point, you only thing you have to do is get outstanding letters of recommendations from your high ups and be a good dude/gal.

Apply to both and the one to give you the yes, wins?

Can @RUFiO181 be my first salute?

No worries, I was super eager too. https://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/jan-feb-mar-2014-rolling-sna-and-snfo-boards.41391/page-72#post-772054 Didn't change the fact that I still had to go through two years of physical and mental stress to earn these pretty gold wings. But...

I called my NRD and was told I got pro-rec Y for SNA back in March 2014.

Hardest: Eating the pancakes and hard boiled eggs they serve for breakfast. Easiest: Giving the door body high fives.

I survived flight school! Winged and was selected P-3C! 18NOV16

Would like to request a change back to Dangy

How about Dangatang?

They will say no and "Something something you're in the military get ready to miss a lot of family something something"

Request name change to Danger

No legs.

3 days.

80/9/9/9 ain't too shabby. Best way to think about your package is how you can convince a couple of senior officers who doesn't know anything about you other than your numbers, experience, letter of recommendations and motivational statement to give you a chance. Just because you want to do what...

Driving around Corpus is a lot more convenient than Pensacola. Everything is around a 10 minute drive.

0% because you haven't taken the ASTB.

Being drill body was fun.

During my application process, I found out that I was eligible for citizenship from my parents country of birth and that I had to write a letter giving up that "citizenship". This was before my application was submitted. It may or may not trigger something with your background check. Also...

The staff might like you or hate you. But they'll know you.

Supposing there were two swallows...

You can have plenty of time to write letters, or you can have hardly anytime at all, depending on how you handle stress. But yes, you can send out letters at all. You can receive packages as well, but have to be opened in front of class team.

Don't wear brand spanking new shoes to OCS, break them in well before hand to make them comfortable. You don't really need new shoes for RLP, it's only worth a single point, and takes up space. But if the benefits outweigh the costs, go for it. @ehoney I have no idea where you heard about brown...

Just remember, side shuttle hops are jumping jacks.

Bat 1 staff.

If you hardly spend any money, you'll get around 3000 or slightly less. More if you somehow end up in H-Class. OCS eats up your BAS, so you get pennies from that. You probably spend less than $500 a month when you go to the NEX before CandiO phase, because theres really to spend money on. Then...

Depends on your spending habits. I think we had around $6000-8000 worth of income, 3000-4000 went to uniform. So probably 1-3k in the end. Look up E-5 pay for 12 weeks, and figure out taxes for your respective state. Should give you some rough idea.

"Only when you know the question will you know what the answer means"

You are pretty disconnected if you aren't tech savy. My class missed the entire ebola outbreak coverage, good riddance.

I probably had $300-500 before hand, and it was enough. Since, you start getting paid a month into your time there. Class PT gear, Hi-Moms, Class Trip, liberty expenses, took out a good chunk too.

That lingo gets so many people. Never was used to the term, so I attempted to do the side shuffle steps exercise used for morning PT. GYSGT wasn't too pleased.

A good part about OCS is finding things out on your own as they come.

No need for swim goggles, don't even remember them offering nor saw anyone use them. Swimming and running is available as a candio. As well as the base gym. Yes, wisdom teeth removal is necessary but they may refer you to an outside clinic or your next command depending on the situation. Get...

1. Awful 2. After graduation is when you can finally wear civilian clothes. It may or may not fit. Just pack a bag and leave it with your parents/friends (if possible) and have them bring it to your graduation. If not, you can shop at the NEX or downtown Newport during liberty. 3. You could, and...

Fast cruise is testing you out to see if you are in the safe physical standards for your time at OCS. General Quarters is something you will have figure out for yourself. Flag conditions, probably black once it starts snowing.

I personally wouldn't buy a car before OCS, because anything can happen that would lead to an unfortunate case where you would have to drop from the program. I would wait until after. Unless, you want something else to keep you motivated pressing on, lol.

Electric Shavers are allowed, and just tell the docs about it during your medical check-in so they can write something up for the shaving gel. They might be able to refill your prescription too. No big deal. You might be able to get away without telling them if it the container looks like normal...

You might not even get liberty at all for the weekend if you are stuck with watches.

Tough call, you can try your best to keep your eyes healthy, but you run the risk of getting NAMI'd the first week of OCS. The other option is what others listed. If you do get PQ'd, you can get surgery for your eyes after API, and even maybe before. There was one ENS who had them done after he...

Take it day by day. Try to have fun with all the events. I am the bottom of the barrel when it comes to physical fitness, but I survived. Confidence is key to your success.

I'd bring the parker and liner. It's a big chuck of money that you will save. I don't think OCS swapped over to the new black parkas either. It's a inspection item, and Newport turns to hell late fall.

I went directly to NRD JAX when I wasn't put in contact with an OR in Orlando.

I never knew about the PNA section, but I definitely would love to have access to it. Requesting PNA!

Congratulations dude!

If you get sick or LLD (limited light duty) your first 3 weeks, chances are you going to get rolled into H-class. If you are sick your first week, 99% they will roll you.

All the priors I've encountered worn the large medals. For convenience sake, I suggest to wear the standard shine insignia. Then again, you could wear them, and it might just cost you one point for two inspections (khaki and officer), if you cared about your score at all (In the end means nothing).

You're thinking too far ahead. Just enjoy OCS.

Check out Aspen Heights. A few other SNA live here. It's not bad for the money, you just have to put up with noisy neighbors if they are throwing a party.
