    Monster Marine OCS thread: stupid questions answered here!

    Not to add fuel to the fire, however I had heard something similar from another candidate at a different office, though nothing of the like from my OSO or at pool functions. I would be hesitant to take any action on information unless you are hear it directly from your OSO/OSA. Different...

    USMC OCC 220

    Yeah the date that I got when I did my board PFT was that it convenes the 20th. From what I gathered results could be a few days or a few weeks. I'm really hoping it's more on the few days side the wait sucks. Also heard the same deal with the ASTB - I think it is the Navy that really focuses on...

    That would be great if we heard results back by July 31...I'm concerned that they won't post until sometime in September

    Mini OCS

    I recently attended the mini-OCS for RS Springfield at Camp Fogarty this past weekend. It was a great learning experience - just by getting a taste of it I feel able to better prepare myself for actually going there. We were issued dummy rifles and had classes on customs & courtesies, weapons...

    OCC 219

    What do you mean by "pre-selected"? How does that differ from normal selection (sending your package up in front of the board, etc.)?

    Sounds like some good tips. Thanks for the info man.

    Mini OCS

    Thanks for the reply. I've read that putting your gear in ziplocs within your bag can help in this packing/unpacking chaos, would you suggest anything along those lines for the games there?

    Mini OCS

    For the hikes at mini-OCS, did you guys use whatever bag you used to bring your personal gear or did they provide you with rucks to use? I'm attending towards the end of April and I'm not sure if I should bring my gear in a hiking backpack (which I wouldn't really want to drag across the deck)...

    Date of Next Board/OCC for Air Contracts (2015)

    I will be applying to 220 as well. Hoped to be on the boards for 219 but did not quite make it to NAMI in time.

    Date of Next Board/OCC for Air Contracts (2015)

    I have been told by my OSS that there is a board in June for 220.

    When does OCC 219 board convene?

    I as well received an OAR score for my 4th score, though I don't often see such scores posted.

    PRK vs Lasik

    An update to my situation , in the hopes this might provide useful information to anyone in a similar situation: After evaluating the options, I underwent wavefront all-laser LASIK surgery in June '14. Results were great, and I was able to score a 20/15 on the vision test the next day (up from...

    I hope to be. Depends if I can make it down to Pensacola and the NAMI O.K. in time to meet the boards. On hold until December 10 until for LASIK this past summer.

    PRK vs Lasik

    Thank you for all the responses. Hearing from people who've done the same thing helps immensely in researching my decision. My next course of action is , like you guys have mentioned, to get at least a second opinion from a doctor who also performs LASIK. Luke NUFO said, at the end of the day...

    PRK vs Lasik

    Hello all, I recently went to NAMI for my flight physical and it was determined that I met the pre-op requirements to get corrective eye surgery. Currently I only qualify as an SNFO, but I would like to see if by getting corrective surgery I can qualify for SNA because if possible, that would...
