    BAH while doing OHARP?

    This is being nuked, and I'm surprised they didn't go over this at OCS. You get partial BAH when on OHARP. The amount should be on par with RC/T rate in the attached link. http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/Docs/perdiem/browse/Allowances/Non-Locality_BAH/2018-Non-Locality-BAH-Rates.pdf

    https://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/help-improving-pushup-score.39919/page-2 The hit the deck program here gave me the best results. Though I wouldn't worry too much about your push ups dropping. You'll have adrenaline, but do stay hydrated.

    I was wrong. Someone from med hold informed me on this, and I looked at the PFA logs. You need to aim for a satisfactory medium now (per the PDF I posted).

    The standards didn't change. What did change is that they went back to the old system with subcategories of high, medium, and low. You need to achieve at least probationary in all categories for the IST. The updated charts are here...

    I would say bring it if you want. I'm pretty sure it's not contraband, so it's really up to your candidate officers when you check in. Everything should be locked up during the daytime anyway. I also agree with Igloojam. I slept like a rock during OCS.

    Caution to SNA/NFO prospects

    The one I saw and heard of the most was shorter people having t-rex arms, but I do know of one person that got dq for long legs. I wouldn't worry about it too much if they measured you already.

    Assigned Directly After OCS?

    It's BAH only with dependents during OCS. In the fleet you get BAH, but it's less than with dependents. During OHARP you get partial BAH (~$700 I believe?).

    Assigned Directly After OCS?

    Around 6 weeks. But it can vary based on the load down in Pensecola. You can specify where you want OHARP. Just know your not getting full BAH.

    There's a head in your room and two showers in between rooms (suite style). You shouldn't have a problem.

    I don't think anyone ever got yelled at for having too wide of a hand position. I would also go as quickly as possible. As said before, YMMV due to different class teams.

    Assigned Directly After OCS?

    It depends on when classes start and your command. You can try and take leave and go into the red. Pilots get OHARP right now, so if you're doing that then you'll get to go home for a couple weeks. I don't really see that trend changing any time soon. There are also some people in my class...

    OCS Flight Physical ----Eye Test Question

    That was the test they had. I can't remember anything else relating to color blindness since I got all the plates correct.

    OCS Flight Physical ----Eye Test Question

    Some days you're just told to go to medical. Some of those times you don't know what for. Anyway, they are pretty thorough. If they notice one problem with the standard tests they do, they will sign you up for more comprehensive exams to make sure you are good to go or not. As for color...

    Acne?

    I had taken 3-4 antibotics in the past and accutane (had to wait 2 months being off tane to go to meps since it's disqulifying). So I imagine a single antibotic wouldn't be a probelm? They may want documentation.

    July-Ish 2015 Pilot/NFO Rolling Board Thread

    I'm in the same boat. It took weeks for them to get back to me just to say I needed to provide some medical documents. Now the wait has started again. It's quite annoying, but I'm learning this "hurry up and wait" thing.

    Motivational Statement MEGA Thread

    I realize this is a thread for motivational statements, but I have typed up some stuff to put on the APSR and as handwritten statements regarding my police record. Does anyone mind reading these? PM me. I would prefer not to post them here. Thanks.

    Got a 57 today on the OAR. Waiting for my other scores. Hopefully they will follow suit and be preferably 7's. Math: When doing the practice tests this was my best section (usually only missed 1 question due to a stupid mistake, or I simply couldn't figure it out). It was much more...

    Astigmatism - would I be dq'd?

    Just got back and I have 20/20 in both eyes. She said my eyes had stabilized as well. Astigmatism was -1.00 in left and -0.50 in right. I lied and it turns out I went there a year ago where they had -0.75 for both eyes. I guess it depends on who's doing the test and the equipment used. Also...

    Astigmatism - would I be dq'd?

    Second thought, I just found out I can do a free eye exam. S0, I made an appointment for later today to see how much the eyes have changed in the past three years.

    Astigmatism - would I be dq'd?

    In another thread I found for an SNA astigmatism can be no greater than -1.00 diopters. The picture below is for my old contacts prescription from January 2012 (haven't been to eye doctor since). If I am reading it correctly the -1.25 in the left eye is out of that limit, so would I be DQ'd...
