I can vouch for Gus' luggage repair like Waveoff suggested. They open up the liner and put em on for you for $40. Did solid work.

Your guess is as good as mine. I emailed Gypsy quite a bit ago and he basically just quoted me what's on his site: "Gypsy here: I have a new USMC IP License in place. This will allow me to get some stock back on the webstore. It will take a few days to tidy up and get things uploaded. No...

Reading over this thread, there is much debate on the merits of the Wings-n-things patches, with no examples. As Typsy Gypsy still has no Navy license to make patches, and the Jax NEX personnel quitting, I pulled the trigger on the w-n-t embossed ones and figured I'd post an example of what they...

Request NA wings, Corpus, October 2021, VT-31

I went through the same process. I wanted to sort everything out with a 'letter of completion' ASAP with my recruiter, and it legitimately took 3 hours on the phone and a week's worth of emails. I was forwarded to the dance school by mistake twice by two different people, no joke. I was then...

My circumstances are exactly the same. Assuming I graduate, this is the class! Can't wait to get there.

I absolutely can't wait to burn bridges and never work in a restaurant again in my godforsaken life. Personally, I can't wait for PT at 5 in the morning and all the other BS at OCS. There is no way that ANYTHING in the Navy is more soul draining than being a slave to the register. (knock on...

I got pro-REC'd for SNA back on 2/7/18, but no FINSEL yet. I suspect that they won't give me a FINSEL Y/N until I've finished up school and graduated next month.

Got the call. I'm in for SNA!!!

The Whammy, sir.

I'm actually glad you posted here. Though I'm an applicant to the aviation community, I've been following the BUD/S warning order workout and then some, because I want to show up in the best shape I can. This is not only so that I am fully prepared for the physical component of OCS, but in the...

We're all doomed

Personally im hoping to be the world's first submarine-launched aircraft pilot

To add to this, I would estimate that this forum has a generally positive score bias for a few reasons A) People that post here and utilized the ASTB thread likely scored higher on average than those who did not. B) Applicants are less likely to post their bad or mediocre scores, especially...

Well, it's been years coming, but I'm finally putting in for this one. I am simultaneously relieved and excited. Best of luck, everyone. To the future!

Is this true? This seems counter-intuitive. Applicants who scored high on one section likely scored similarly on another. Because I scored high on the PFAR, I would feel more secure in applying for SNA only, despite also scoring high on the FOFAR. It doesn't change my mind about what I'm...

Took the test for the first time yesterday. Scored 58 8/9/9 58 OAR | 8 AQR | 9 PFAR | 9 FOFAR | Math Skills Test (MST): KNOW ALL YOUR RULES OF EXPONENTS. Numbers to fractional exponents and negative exponents. Polynomials. Lots of distance equals rate x time style problems. Mostly algebra and...

I went in to the recruiting office to take the ASTB today, and apparently, the APEX system is down nation-wide. They're sending me to MEPS on Wednesday, and supposedly I'll take the ASTB after that as soon as the system is fixed. Has this ever happened before? Anyone else in this situation?

...I guess I have to start calling myself "Revelevance" now

I am fluent. I was trying to say that I had varying comprehension of all 4 languages, English and German being my strongest, with Russian and Arabic being my weakest. Not the best diction on my part.

You make a good point. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I would probably look back on it a lot more fondly than taking a summer accounting class. And the potential extra pay doesn't sound bad :D

So, I'm shooting to apply for SNA/NFO, and I have varying mastery of English, German, Russian, and Arabic. I have an opportunity to study abroad in Morocco coming up this summer to further my language skills, BUT I could also just take more classes and graduate a little sooner. Does the Navy...

Thank you gentlemen. Since you've realistically only got.. give or take 2 or 3 shots, I suppose it follows that you wouldn't want to submit an application until you've got all your eggs in the basket.

Hi folks. Searched around, seems to be a variety of answers to the question. Barring any medical constraints, (LASIK/PRK) when is the earliest you can begin to apply for OCS? I was under the impression one must currently have earned/hold at least a bachelor's degree, though I've seen advice to...
