    What I want to know is where was this government hustle when I needed a new passport to leave the country for work?

    Hi guys, got my finsel this afternoon. Looks like I'll be seeing you guys in just a couple weeks.

    Checking out of Purgatory. Got my finsel for Jan 3rd. Age critical as I turn 27 in May.

    Any nicknames yet for the F-35 Lightning II ?

    I'm partial to "Sparrow" as it has a smaller frame compared to the F-18 and F-22. Granted there's a missile with this same name, though.

    I had no idea that the government could work that fast. Makes me feel a little bit better about needing to commission before June.

    Even though you're a sooner I'll still help you out ;) Here's everything that I used to study for the ASTB. For math I also used KhanAcademy to brush up on subjects I haven't seen in years. Part of my routine also involved going through the ASTB experiences thread and writing down each topic...

    I don't have a document, sorry. I'm working off of what NavyOffRec and RUFiO have said in the past. I'll look around and see what I can find for you though.

    Uhh, what happened here? We have similar stats and degree and I got selected. Any speculation why you weren't picked up? It's 6 months to re-submit unless something is drastically changed in your package like an increased ASTB or you got awarded a degree.

    Still waiting. I'm going to give them a day or so before I call. Not like me getting antsy will affect the results.

    Glad to see another Cowboy here! Yeah, I'm a member. I have the White/Black 2SS 1LE. Been doing a crap ton of volunteer work this year so I haven't been to as many meetups as I would like but I'll be at Hallett Raceway just about every chance I get next year. I'm guessing that since you're in...

    Rufio is messing with us again. We didn't fall for the "no one was selected" bit so he needed new material.

    My money is on AD tomorrow, non-priors Monday which gives me plenty of time to google anti-anxiety meds because this wait is killing me.

    This morning felt like it dragged on longer than the entire month of November. I can't imagine what the span between the board and results is going to feel like.

    Fallout 4 is making it go by a little faster. That and all of my customers apparently didn't get the memo that work is supposed to slow down during the holiday months.

    I know, but typically body measurements are proportional to overall height. And you're right about the flight surgeon having the only say, we're all here just bullshitting until proven otherwise.

    You're within regs for a female applicant but you're cutting it close and could be anthro'd out of ejection seat. I can't remember where I saw it but there was a note that applicant's under 62" may have a hard time passing anthro. There's still other options that fly though. No point in...

    OCS Confused on the Board Selection Process

    He's going Marines, not Navy. The process is similar but different at the same time. Jweaver, my OSO also told me and another candidate that we would be selected for an aviation slot as well so take what you hear with a grain of salt. OCC board 218 was the first board to pre-select for OCC 219...

    Nope, no face to face yet. At first I thought they might just be doing references but my boss called me and said some guys were doing a background check on me. Cats out of the bag now I guess.

    I know the feeling. I'm itching for the next board as I've got a few things on my life on hold til I get the results. I've also contacted the Marines as my fallback and I've got a NAMI date in November so I won't make this OCC but I will make the one in March. I was in Key West a few weeks back...

    Nov-Dec 2015 Pilot NFO Rolling Board

    I wonder if "tracking your timeline" means that they are looking at you being supremely age-critical. Could just mean that they are guessing at when the board will be and then seeing if there are slots in the next convening OCS classes before you age out. It's probably a good sign that they...

    Nov-Dec 2015 Pilot NFO Rolling Board

    I think I saw someone say it was something like 97% but I seriously doubt it was really that high. The pickup rate from last board is probably a bit higher than normal considering that most, if not all, of the applications were from active duty due to the freeze on non-prior pilot applications...
