    A Word on OCS (as of 2 DEC 16)

    I graduated Last March. I was a previous AWS1 Naval Aircrewman/Rescue Swimmer for 9 years. Honestly, I thought OCS was pretty awful. Worst than enlisted bootcamp, but appropriately stressful and honestly, perhaps not hard enough. Not really sure what keeps everyone going, mine was mostly...

    Post OCS Move

    Looking to get some insight from previous OCS graduates who were SNA/SNFO that made the move to Pensacola with their families, not sure if being prior active duty makes a difference. I'm slated for the Dec 10th OCS class, however, I'm trying to figure out the post OCS portion for getting my...

    I use a credit card for every single purchase I can, up until a few years ago, I only used my Capital One Venture Card (double mile) 2 miles for every dollar spent. However, typically credit cards that offer mile rewards is super misleading, as you might think "Oh snaps! I got 30,000 miles saved...

    Being in the military and depending on which Credit Cards you get is a huge advantage.

    First, if the card has no annual fee, closing it is pointless and actually hurts one credit worse than the soft hit one takes for opening a new account. Second, it actually helps ones credit to have more credit with a low credit debt. e.g., if one has $30,000 available credit, but only has...

    Does the NAMI deference occur prior to the board or after the board? Like at which point does NAMI review your initial screening documents?
  23. S

    Oct or Nov 2017 Aviation Board

    Gotcha, my letter does say that. I didn't realize that that portion was done prior to arriving to OCS. I thought it means that NAMI would determine eligibility there when completing the flight physical there.
  24. S

    Oct or Nov 2017 Aviation Board

    I didn't know NAMI did that, I thought it was just N3M at NRC that determines if you meet the DOD standards for commissioning, and that NAMI came later while at OCS.

    So pulling directly from the OCS website it reads Candidates must achieve an overall minimum score of "Satisfactory Medium" on the IST.

    I'm not sure how it works with the Civilian side, but for us AD, the Processors were/are suppose to contact us directly if anything else is needed such as medical documents after receiving the PRO-REC-Y.

    My Pro-Rec-Y disappeared from BUPERS, I believe someone said theirs did to a while back. Mine was there Just before the 25th of Aug, but BOL went down for some maintenance and just came back, so I'm assuming mine is likely related to that.

    That's about what I figured. My command is releasing me December 1st and there is a class December 10th, so I'm assuming I'll likely be in that class, but I figured once they started filling it is when I would get a FINSEL.

    Can anyone confirm that a FINAL SELECT is attached to your OCS Class Date? Seems to be the trend I see, where people don't get the FINSEL until they have a class.

    I'm still waiting as well, but I think it has a lot to do with the fact my Release Date is December 1st, 2017.

    So I'm RUFIO are you saying he is a 1 in a million case not meeting the minimums and getting selected, or even though despite his Pro-rec Yes, with not meeting minimum scores, something needs to be said?

    I've heard of that happening, but its like a double edge sword, in that you got a position you didn't apply for, but gives commission. Could turn it down and potentially never get selected again.

    Nope, it depends on how well you do on the other portions of the PRT. At a minimum you would have to run it greater at 16:07 or less, assuming you did at least 45 situps and 25 pushups. If you ran it in 16:08 or higher, auto fail overall.
