Niko, finsel will come in due time bro

just request to join the FB group

Checking in.

Checking out. I'll be in the October 2 class.

Got the call this morning and knew right away. I'll be in the 02 oct class! Signing in Tuesday. Lets get this show on the road.

congrats. Was the letter via email?

For those that still wait, it's now been more than 4 months and the wait has not gotten any easier. It's still every day, multiple times/day I think about this opportunity. Doing my best to be patient but getting something in writing SOON would be nice. I've always been the proactive type and...

I don't know man, I run mine sub 8 ;)

No hurt in touching base. My recruiter said he expects a ship date around Oct and that the only other swo from my NRD that was picked up in April is also still waiting. He said the girl who was picked up at the board prior to ours in my NRD is in the 9/11 class.

Pretty sure PT during winter is done in the gym, but that's not to say nothing will be done outside. Also, seen some recent selects get finsel and ocs date w/in the same month, but I agree it's unlikely. On the bright side, we'd all be starting the new year off right with being newly...

How's everyone holding up? Getting primed and ready to go in a few months?

Brush up on your mechanical concepts and take the test, you'll be fine if you prepare. Be relaxed and be confident.

Talked to my recruiter today and he said he checked but didn't see anything. Lease ends mid-August, so I have been making housing arrangements for a month-to-month thing to ride it out until I get word.

you're good

I have taken the GRE but not the GMAT. Some things to consider: - both tests are hard and it's really a matter of what your strengths are. GMAT is known to be a bit more math intensive. No matter which test you take, you'll be in a room with other people. If you take the GRE for instance, you...

approaching the 1yr mark...thankful to have had a receptive recruiter. We've come >90% so far folks, hang in there - we'll be good.

listen to southbound from the jackie and ryan movie, it is a great one

Saw this on one of the threads under Questions about becoming a Navy Officer and thought it applicable. I especially like the last part.

so ~6 months for you. That's about the upper range I've observed. Hope you receive your finsel soon banjo.

If you liked Blehm's book, I'd recommend two of his others: The Only Thing Worth Dying For and The Last Season. The former is similar to Fearless but with anecdotes about the Green Berets and the latter is a compelling account of Randy Morgenson, a backcountry ranger who disappeared while on...

Nothing. Honestly, probably wont for a few months yet. To quote someone on here: They don't call it purgatory for nothin'

What did you decide?

My answer would be that you can expect to wait about what others wait who are not age critical folks. I don't think graduating five months after a potential pro-rec will influence the speed of your finsel dispatch. By the time you graduate and send in your final transcripts, folks from your July...

To echo the responses here: I went in today to get my prints done again (was told they are only valid for 120 days and I wen't through the whole MEPS process in July - getting them done then) and sign the paperwork relating to medical, credit, and background history. Pretty sure it was four...

I haven't heard about that but I was reading somewhere on here that those interviews don't happen to everyone (for what reason I do not know).

paperwork needs to be processed, your complete background check needs to cleared, and medical record needs to be reviewed I think. My recruiter said the next steps were for me to come in and sign paperwork for the background check, so i'm waiting on that.

Looking forward to starting my career!

Andrew3376, I agree about the fins sel. Really don't want a protracted wait because waiting something like 6 months would be agonizing.

checking in as well. Pro-rec at April swo board. Hurry up and wait!

Wofford, I concur. Time to also study up on whats available! Anyone know what to start with?

Found out earlier this morning that I was pro-rec Y. Extremely grateful! Recruiter said I'll have to come in about a week or two from now to sign paperwork authorizing the background check. Best of luck to those remaining to hear. #USN

speculation: AD tomorrow, non-prior early next week

It's that phone call that could change your life. "literally sweating and my heart feeling like its about to explode from my chest" - All too real

so....who's anxious?

Let's go!

swo board is soon to come boys!

request change to CellShock please

o lord

Doesn't matter if you lose sleep because you have to get your meals in. Meals are more important. - Rich

Ok, best of luck to you BlueSky

I've taken the GRE and the ASTB and studied for both. I would say the GRE math prep can be useful for math on the ASTB. I think that there were more word problems on the ASTB though (for me at least) and I didn't really have those with the GRE. Using the GRE study materials will help you develop...

"stem degrees" preferred for swo?

I feel like this is probably what I ran into when I applied for NFO in the Dec board. I don't think my aviation scores are good enough

@goldmanharry91 , good plan man. I hope you can boost it some, but damn, does the board really discriminate that hard against one's OAR? I mean even one point below 50? I'm surprised you were not selected because everything in your signature looks attractive. I was non-select in the Dec SNA/SNFO...

Checking in for this board.

just got the call, pro-rec N. damn

still waiting in Minneapolis

same

really haven't been all that anxious, but today seems to be getting to me

pretty safe to presume that
