Not a FS. But if it doesn't severely impact your vision, and doesn't interfere with your ability to read a snellen chart, randot test (depth), and ishishara test (colorblindness), I think you'll be fine. (Pretty sure most people see these when looking up at a clear sky anyway)

Respectfully request NA wings - 27APR18/HT8

Agree with what was said above about time being free. If it is free, take it because why not. I wouldn't spend $ on just a few hours of R22 time as I imagine most of that experience will be washed out by the impending flood of info you'll learn about the 57. Other than the first 4 flights (not...

Helo SNA requesting access to PNA forum - thank you!

Just to clarify - total for rent and utilities works out to $400 per person.

Looking for a 3rd roommate in our 3 bedroom house in Milton, FL starting July 1st. The house is near Whiting Pines off base housing and is only a 15 minute drive to Whiting main gate in the morning. Close to multiple grocery stores and Walmart/Target etc. We are both in HT advanced, and can...

Update - room has been filled, but another bedroom will be available in a few weeks as of 1AUG!

SNA at NAS Pensacola looking for one roommate in 3 bedroom apartment. Available 7JUL in Angel Landing apartments, located one mile north of NAS back gate. Close to Target, Walmart, and beaches. Door to door of Building 633 in 15 minutes. Rent is $1279 plus utilities split 3 ways.

Excellent clarification gentlemen, thank you!

Thank you, Zippy. So the pre-wings AD commitment is fulfilled concurrently with my aviation AD commitment. Do you know if the reserve component is fulfilled concurrently in the same manner?

Good morning all, Proud to say that I swore into the Navy yesterday! Going SNA, starting OCS in a few weeks. I've spent the last hour looking for an answer here on AW, but can't get recent information for my question. My recruiting office must not be so familiar with aviation candidates, since...

Granted I'm a guy, but I think the Navy will make sure their newly minted Ensigns look fresh ;)

too late for that ;)

Congrats! Not sure if you're a part of the facebook group yet. If not, https://www.facebook.com/groups/navyocsjan0316/ and talk to @kjsupply05

I was in a similar type of situation. Been working in an office setting for two years after finishing up school, and also work with attorneys on a daily basis. Of course it depends on what you see yourself doing, but here's my take..the working private sector is always going to be around. You...

Awesome info thanks @hugeyetti and @hokieforlife

Been searching but haven't been able to find much regarding OHARP. I'm not "expecting" to get it, but if I do, at which point during OCS do I find out? Or do I find out whether or not I have it after commissioning?

Any other SNA guys or gals here that need to go through IFS in Pensacola?

Oh man, I really hope you get picked up! Would be a tight timeline, but like you said possible. Best of luck man!

mb, are you scheduled for this board? Didn't you make it back in September?

I'm non prior and have my FINSEL for 3JAN. Haven't heard from any people in black suits yet...

Jets would be awesome. I hear P3/P8 hotel life isn't bad either, though. That being said, anything that's big and grey works for me.

Ugh I wish! We don't get paid for that AND no signing bonus! Oh well, we'll just have to be content with fancy toys then...

That could be possible. Technically there isn't really anything you need to do with the FINSEL paper itself. If you're going to swear in, sounds to me like everything is squared away. I just got my FINSEL but I've been told I'll be swearing in mid-December just before OCS.

My OR sent mine to me via email. I'd call and ask?

Step 1: Study like heck and take the ASTB. Now: You'll only be at a disadvantage compared to other applicants if you don't apply. Applicants are coming from all sorts of backgrounds. There are plenty of non-priors who get picked up for SNA, myself included. The selection process is whole...

Posted my FINSEL on my door at work. Last day in a month!!

Welcome! Another pilot! Dude with scores like that and a nuke degree, why didn't you go subs and take a sweet signing bonus? I also had my OCS date about 2-3 weeks before I had my FINSEL, but I've been told I'm not swearing in until mid December

Hey all, some light reading for everyone. I don't think this has been posted here, and not sure who has seen it or not. Found it while browsing AW several months ago. Hopefully it's still somewhat relevant...

Checking out...OCS 3JAN

Thanks! That actually makes me feel a lot better!

Still no FINSEL for me :( September SNA board...

For the liberty weekends, are you allowed to stay off base? Or do you have to come back at night?

Yeah it's exciting...but this has been over a year in the making for me haha. Driving up from Maryland...or maybe better, dad and mom want to drop me off college style

Join the 3Jan thread! https://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/03-january-2016.43158/

That would be a heck of coincidence if Sharkbait and Sharkbait1 end up in the same OCS class...

I was in a very similar situation at a small civil firm. I had to tell them early on because I had to list them as an employer reference...did you not have to for your SF-86? In any case, I told them I'd keep them in the loop as soon as I had any information. I was pretty forthcoming. When I got...

Last board in June.

Doesn't seem like there's a standard gap. FINSEL could be weeks or months. I was pro rec back in June, and still have yet to get my FINSEL. I was told that age does play a factor, and based on your stats we're in the same boat :D See if you can get hooked up with the 03JAN16 OCS class. I spoke...

There's a 03Jan16 class, which would be just in time!

Hi gp, I tried to send you a PM but it says I'm not allowed to. Could you please try starting a PM with me? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

for sure in my case too

Thanks, you too! Getting FINSEL now would be great, especially since I already put in notice at my work and told all my friends and family - all without having an actual piece of paper to confirm to anyone that any of this is real haha...

I gave a call to see if my FINSEL was in. She said that I didn't have a letter yet, but that a date had been assigned. I'm a non-prior, if that's relevant to this case...

Welcome new FINSEL purgatory friends! I received a pencil date for OCS on 03JAN16, but still no FINSEL. Anyone else here in this class?

Same here. Found out 03JAN16 today, but no FINSEL. Going SNA/1390

What paperwork? I don't see why there should be a "drop dead" deadline given that sometimes people wait months (or a year!) for FINSEL.
