    I really hope so. I've seen a lot of people during my time at Eglin get hemmed up for DUIs and related alcohol-related incidents, many career ending. None of those incidents involved death or injury either. I hope those students make it through and are OK, and justice gets served for them.

    I'm just doing what I'm told to do. I have that letter, but also being told to destroy.

    That's about as official as it gets! I'll see if I have the option to go that route, thanks.

    Was your OR the witness to you renouncing or someone else?

    Lmao yes I have seen it. Reminds me of that time Michael Scott tried to declare bankruptcy by screaming "I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!" If you're saying that's good enough for the Navy, I'll do it!!

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    I don't have a renunciation certificate from the UK Govt. That may have taken far too long and there was no guarantee that I would get selected. I was recommended not to do that and instead to submit a letter stating intent to renounce if accepted, and I did. Now I have to actually go through...

    The processor working on my package at the NRD called me today. She's working on getting my final selection paperwork, but the one thing that's holding it up is my British citizenship. I was given a renunciation letter ready to print and sign, and I have passport ready to destroy. I'm not...

    There are some flying slots open in the ANG/AF Reserve, but that also means CSO and not just pilot. Those units are more often than not flying cargo planes too. Loads of F-15Cs have been transitioned to the ANG and those only take a pilot. Pretty sure you'd need to have good AFOQT/TBAS scores...

    I wouldn't turn it down. Deal with whatever it is, and if you need some time before you ship out, request it. Life marches on, and you need to be able to deal/cope with it. If it's really bad, the military will help you out. I was with a guy in Afghanistan who's father was dying while over...

    Did you not apply to NFO? Were you get informed that you were Pro Rec Y for NFO last week or did they tell you all at once today? Congrats!

    I don't know for sure yet, but I think I will be in the 14 May class also. They wanted to ship me on Sunday the 23rd which I could have probably made happened if I wasn't out camping right now.

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    That stigma is perpetuated because Naval Aviator has a nice tidy title associated with it - pilot. It looks good to be a doctor, pilot, or lawyer on paper, but in reality there are hundreds of jobs in-between that make the mission happen, and NFO is one of them. It's not as apparent what they...

    I don't know what to tell ya, but as far as the people that have heard, they were NFO-only and from that early list.

    I'm wondering how the AQR plays into it. Do any other jobs in the Navy require the ASTB?

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    This isn't a military-specific program. You just have to make 120 monthly payments, and the federal government will will forgive the remainder so long as you are working for the government in some capacity. A lot of law school graduates might opt for this for instance. Work for 10 years as a...

    What NRC considers competitive

    My university is on the NSA National Centers of Academic Excellence list if that's the one you're referring to. Is there another more selective list? My academic core GPA is ~3.1 btw, 2.99 is cumulative. Thank you.

    What NRC considers competitive

    Just posting to ask if I would be competitive for a Cyber Warfare Engineer slot. My package is in for SNA/SNFO already for the April board, nothing has changed there, but I'm curious if for any reason that doesn't pan out I have a shot at CWE also.

    Yes. My recruiter is on the east coast and results apparently came out in the afternoon so I'm pretty sure she was already out of office or gone for the weekend >.< It's ok. We've waited this long, we can suffer two more days.

    I showed up to AF basic without really any prep because I was 19 and dumb and new nothing about working out. Needless to say my TI hated me, and I felt horrible, and made life waaaay harder for myself than I needed to. Moral of the story: don't be me from 8 years ago and instead prepare as best...

    Out of curiosity for you guys posting your airframe preferences, are you considering where you might get stationed afterwards? I want to go fighters because that's what I'm a F-15 guy from the AF, but on the other hand the prospect of getting stationed in San Diego with Helicopters screams good...

    AFROTC contract problem

    It does happen, I have seen it. However, it depends on the nature of your separation. I was released with no prejudice because I had some serious issues going on and it was best for my academics. However, I had a friend who was on my commander's radar and he was given 2 years Active Duty Service...

    Boosting your GPA with community college courses

    If this was the GPA that was considered, then everyone would get held to a different standard. That's probably why any branch will calculate the GPA themselves so everything is standardized. For OP, you will probably have to take a ton of classes to pull your GPA back up if you already have a...

    14 NOV 16 Pilot/NFO Board

    I had to do something similar. I have a dual US/UK citizenship, my OR and I drafted up a renunciation letter saying I would renounce the UK one if selected. However since my parents were born in different countries, I had to make identical letters for those countries too. Not because my parents...

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    Your AFOQT scores seem to heavily reflect your ASTB scores and 96 Pilot / 89 Nav is insanely good considering they are percentiles. Since you did well on those areas on both tests, it's not likely a fluke and you can probably do well again. If you do need to retake the ASTB to improve your OAR...

    Wow, congrats to everyone! There are so many people who have been picked up for both SNA and SNFO. Is that typical? Do the slots that those people decline roll over to the next board?

    That's still not a bad position to be in
  40. Bravo Kilo

    What would you do in this situation?

    Ok thanks guys, that's what I'll do. The reason for the training is because I am a Computer Science major and the position is for software engineering on aircraft. The language used for this is called Ada and it is used because of its inherent safety features (so your avionics don't decide to...

    What would you do in this situation?

    I'm in my last semester of university and I will be done in 2 weeks. I have been working with an OR and my OCS package for SNA/SNFO I am happy to say is complete! I unfortunately missed the November board which is inconvenient, and I'll get to why in a moment. Back in September my university...

    Places to live near Eglin AFB

    I lived in Fort Walton Beach when I was there and it's great. Depending on where you're at in FWB there is a nice community of shops and bars. Not too far from anything you need. It's also not far from the various beaches in the area, but the important thing is that you're on the right side of...

    Any branch that has cut off age for flight school after 27?

    Ehhh that sounds fishy, I wouldn't believe that The USMC age cutoff is 27.5, but you still may need a waiver here because you're very close and may not commission before this. The USAF cutoff is 30, and I believe ANG is even higher than that. ANG is a different animal, but I'm pretty sure most...

    USN Headache Waiver for Navy NFO

    If you're just going into your junior year in high school, then you're ~15-16 years old. If these issues were happening a few years ago, then you were about 12-13 at the time. You still have 2 years of high school left, and at least 4 years of college putting you at about 22 when you graduate...

    Dual Citizenship Regulations

    $400 to renounce?! Wow what the hell Renouncing my citizenship months out sounds very risky since I have no guarantee I'll be admitted to OCS yet.

    Dual Citizenship Regulations

    Yeah it's looking that way, which is mind-boggling (and slightly hilarious). I don't know how the hell that happened. Oh well, at least I can renounce it's absolutely needed. It's not a huge deal, but it is an irrevocable one. Thank you all
