    DOR Outcome Question

    I did not mean to spread rumors or bad gouge on this website. I will request that my post be deleted. With regards to my signature. My intentions were to make it easy for new guys to see how long the process has taken me though i know it is different for everyone. Sorry that you view it differently.

    DOR Outcome Question

    I understand this may be bad gouge but I'm just letting the guy know what I saw as of a year ago. Needs of the Navy is #1 but if he had a NROTC scholarship it should help him out with the board. Good luck with your decision but make sure it's want you really want before you do it.

    DOR Outcome Question

    If you recieved a NROTC scholorship there is a high probability they will let you re-designate. All the academy and NROTC kids I know that didn't make it through flight school got re-designate. If they Navy paid for your school, they want theirs money's worth out of you. Now, if you were OCS...

    You still could of qualified for Maritime (P-3/P-8) and TACAMO (E-6 Mercury). Those are two different pipelines.

    7 FEB 2018 Aviation Board

    I had the same questions when i was going though. I think in primary the attrition rate was a little over 10% with a lot of those being DOR's. If you put the time in and find study groups, you won't have a problem.

    At OCS, got NPQ'd

    I understand that. Just trying to offer some words of encouragement and that it could be possible. If i were you though, I would get Lasik as soon as you can, continue to fly and get your hours, and after 6 months reapply till you age out (which is 27 so you have some time lol). There is no...

    At OCS, got NPQ'd

    There was a SNFO in my OCS class that DOR'ed because he really wanted SNA. He reapplied and got accepted a year later for SNA. He is now down in Pensacola about to start primary.

    Assigned Directly After OCS?

    I understand man. I was worried about the flight physical also. I even got my eyes dilated and checked before i went and was told everything looked fine. I later found out during the OCS physical that i had small cataracts and went through most of OCS thinking i was going to get disqualified for...

    Assigned Directly After OCS?

    If you passed the flight physical at Newport then you should be good when you do your check up in pcola. If i remember correctly, the physical in pensacola only took like an hour or two and thats with all the waiting around.

    BAH while doing OHARP?

    For me it was. As soon as i checked into NAS Pcola, i started getting BAH for Pcola.

    BAH while doing OHARP?

    When I commissioned back in 2015, you just had to get the recruiting office you wanted to go to sign off saying they will take responsibility over you. Though I'm not sure if its the same now. So i would go ahead and start calling around. In regards to BAH, unfortunately you will not get the BAH...

    Post OCS Move

    I'm pretty sure the navy will pay for your move because you will be at NAS Whiting for flight school because you are married. When i moved down there, they didn't really pay for anything since i was single. Now you will just have to decide on where to live. I know several married SNA'a that...

    What should I do to maximize my chances of being selected to be a Naval Aviator from NROTC?

    Pags is right. Don't sweat it to much. I would probably just aim for 3.0 or higher. We had a SNA in my OCS class that was selected with a 2.5. Also, I think the board cares that you have a college degree and not where it is from and what it is in. I know guys who got a online bachelors in 1.5...

    What should I do to maximize my chances of being selected to be a Naval Aviator from NROTC?

    When applying for OCS, you can put pilot only and if you are not selected you can try again. With ROTC, after a certain point, you are committed to serving in whatever community they select you for. If you only want to be a pilot, my advise would be to study you ass off for the ASTB and apply...

    Places to live in Whiting

    I lived in Governors Gate during my time at NAS Whiting. They were really nice apartments in a pretty decent location however that 35+ drive got old after a while. I would usually use that time to practice my briefs, go over EP's, or do a little chair flying. I had lots of friends that lived in...

    A Word on OCS (as of 2 DEC 16)

    When i went through last year, our class team was pretty relaxed about it. We were able to get a special lib chit in our Officer candidate phase. Ohhhh, and no one ever looked at what came in our candio boxes. However, things may have changed.

    What happens if vision is no longer 20/20 right before flight school?

    When i did mine back in January, it was a piece of cake. All they care about is that you are 20/40. Its not really a flight physical but more like a check up. It only took 30 minutes. You have nothing to worry about!

    1,001 questions about the ASTB (post your scores & ask your questions here!)

    Pilot boards really don't care about your OAR score. Just get a 6 or better on the pilot score which you did. You should be good!

    Marriage at Flight School

    I got to pensacola in December and I'm still waiting for IFS. However, things may be moving along by the time you get here. Just tell flight management when you get here what you are planning on doing and they will probably work with you. Good luck!!

I would say AD will probably know by Monday (maybe friday) and everyone else...

    Pensacola backlog?

    I have been here since December and still waiting to class up for IFS. 3 months sounds about right. However, you should be reporting before all the May academy and rotc graduates get here so the pipeline may not be so backed up.

    OCS @ Newport Unofficial Gouge

    This is extremely accurate so anyone who may be attending OCS in the upcoming future should read this!! Concentrate on the RPL information because this is the most important part. Once you get get RLP out of the way, OCS gets so much better.

    GOUGE IFS Gouge

    I just got done with OCS in October. I would say to study first the Code of conducts, general offers of a sentry, rank structure, chain of command, and maybe the mission of the navy. You will be tested on what I just gave you during your RLP inspection at the end of your third week. Once you get...

    Final Select Purgatory

    The Air Force didn't select any pilots through OTS for over a year and have recently just started back. However.... The time between being selected to starting pilot training can be 2 years. The navy is usually just under a year from ocs to starting primary which is pretty good.

    OCS Next Pilot/NFO Board 30 June 2015

    Wow!! 120 selects!! That's a pretty good selection rate. I think we only had 68 selects for the April board. Guess the Navy is still hurting for pilots.

    What NRC considers competitive

    @jgoulet, Im actually not sure since I graduated 3 years ago but I have heard 6 months but I have also heard 1 year. If your recruiter told you 6 months than I would put all my effort into studying and do as well as you can on the ASTB.
  41. MemphisBell

    What NRC considers competitive

    @jgoulet, just take the ASTB and score at least 50 6/6/6 and make sure you are within standards on medical and I think you should have a great shot at getting selected. The application process is long but the sooner, the better. There is a pilot board next week so I think that will put the next...
