What is the age cutoff for USMC SNA ? I cannot find any instructions posted online with regards to SNA age limit other than commission by 27.5 for Civ. non-prior & I read about prior service age waivers but it didn't specify max age for USMC SNA. The USN age limit is up to 29 with age waiver...

Has anyone recently gone the route of applying for both services at the same time? If so, did you use the same LORs and just changed the AF to Navy? did you tell both recruiters? I will be taking my AFOQT (AF ASTB version) test next week and after that, I would focus on studying for the ASTB to...

Is there a Navy OCS reg. that tells you the 'Board application' age cut-off for a applying for a pilot slot? I know its commission by 29 (w/ age waiver) to apply for SNA and I turn 28 this JUNE. In the USAF, <28 yrs. old is the age cutoff by the time of the Pilot selection board (THIS JULY) and...

I have a question for those who has taken the AFOQT. Looking at the online materials, gouges and various flight aptitude study books, it seems like the AFOQT is less difficult than the ASTB especially the math portions. Was this the case when you took the test? thanks.

On this UAV practice test, the questions are always sequenced to find: N, S, E, W, parking lots. Is it the same on the actual test or does it come in random order and orientation (straight/slanted) ? I figured out a visualization technique to pick the target parking lot within 2-5 seconds and...

Thanks for sharing the info and link above. Now I have a much better understanding of how difficult getting selected for Intel officer is (3.7% selection rate last cycle ;)). All of the recent selectees has foreign language proficiency as well, I wonder if this is the norm for every board...

Congratulations on SWO! still hoping calculus classes isn't a big deal for intel selection lol

Hello Guys! I have a question regarding Intel officer requirements. Navy instruction for intel officer eligibility stated that it is recommended to have taken a Calculus level class in college. My college major did contain some Math classes with introductory calculus level contents but it is...

Is the 'Aviation and nautical' information test found In Peterson's online ASTB practice close to the actual test? I didn't find it too hard at all.

That's good news, thank you.

Hello everyone, sorry for jumping in the conversation on a new topic. I have a question about graduation recency and application for OCS. So I've read somewhere online but I can't remember where, and I can't find it anymore, that you have a (12 month) limit after graduation to the time you start...

Alright, thanks a lot for the info

Sorry, I meant the next one after June 30 lol I am still in the works of putting my package together.....

Good Luck to everyone ! When is the next board for Pilot/NFO ? Thanks

Thanks a lot for the information. I was told by the OR to call him back in ~July-Aug but like you said, the board for the next FY is already happening. I'm going to look for other ORs in the area and see if they can offer me better help and information.

I do not have "Strong evals" from my Gung-Ho NECC reserve unit as I tend to miss unit wide events and a mobilization while I was attending full time college. However, I will try to make up for this by having a competitive ASTB score. With that being said, do reserve evals carry a significant...

Thanks for the reply Av8ion. Another question I have is do USMC air contract applicants only take the: AQR/PFAR/FOFAR portion of the ASTB? I do not see any OAR scores on several profiles that are posted here on USMC forums. thanks

How often do these boards meet? I am considering applying for a USMC air contract since the Navy seems to be backed up for the rest of the Fiscal Year.

Anyone else here applying for OCS as an active Navy reservist? Just found out that NRDs will no longer work with reservist when applying for OCS and I'm wondering how this new system works out for anyone who are dealing with this .. Also, I got told by an officer recruiter that Pilot/NFO and...

Congratulations guys! ...Just curious, how long is the average wait time nowadays from when you 1st walk in the recruiters office to when you get your ship-out date? I am still busy with finishing up my degree and planning to begin the application process this January after I graduate. -Thanks!

Great, thanks for your responses. Also, I am planning to apply for several naval officer communities; (Aviation/Surface/Intel) and I'm assuming that you need a separate motivational statement for each of them? Do I need to express my particular interest for each community I'm applying for or do...

Hello guys, I am just curious on how much weight do these "Motivational statements" actually have towards an application? The letters I see above are excellent statements but I am not a natural writer and I'm wondering if I should put in plenty of time and effort towards making them.
