    What NRC considers competitive

    If they weren't reckless, I have a hard time believing that NRC would turn down someone with two tickets in their lifetime! I think if they screened out every candidate and below with your scores that ever had a ticket, they'd run out of applicants. I'm not an expert on this by any stretch of...

    What NRC considers competitive

    Listen man, I just got in with a 52, 6/7/6, and my GPA was 2.57. As long as those 2 speeding tickets are good, I think you have a better shot than I would have if we went up against each other. Every board is different, but your scores are DEFINITELY competitive.

    ASTB study guide

    If you want this bad enough, you are gonna need to study these like your life depends on it. If you don't want it bad enough, don't bother to keep reading. I'm writing this down because I want you to K.O. This test and have your dream. I scored a 5/6/5 on my first run and I know how it feels to...

    That sounds more likely! So since I'm in NRD Portland, if they sent it via snail mail, I'll see my results sometime in December XD XD

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    So I think I figured it out, they meet on a date and then they go ahead and select the best candidates first and let them know right away. As the week progresses they probably filter the rest. If they only meet on one day and it encompasses the entire nation, it makes no sense why it takes...

    Definitely, my GPA is trash and positivity and working out is all I have to hold on to right now haha!! We all gotta keep a great positive attitude so (hopefully) when we get called, we can go into the fray with a great frame of mind.

    I think everyone on here is taking the PRT seriously, I've heard others show up to OCS without any physical prep...I hope that's not true

    Hey, I would rather get razzed online on this forum than have the DI disqualify my PRT over bad form! Thanks for all the help!!

    Perfect!! Just what I wanted to know! Now I can (lower) my chances of getting roasted by the DI's on the IST. XD XD

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    Ok, here's my biggest question, What is the correct form for navy push-ups and sit-ups? I've read that you can only rest in the up position for push-ups, does that include arching your back here and there to help ease weight off your chest and arms or do you have to hold a plank position? For...

    I would LOVE jets, but I would love flying pretty much anything. And ya, helicopters are awesome!!!! If I could have my pick, maybe the F-35? (After they fix the bugs)

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    Dude I know, I've been maxing out the vitamins and pushing myself to the limit with exercise. Even if I'm sick I'll head in because I'll probably get sick at OCS so it's good practice.
  24. TheFlyingViking

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    Been trying to hit the PRT 3 times a week. I'm at a 9:00 1.5 mile, but I'm worried about my push-up form to the point where I'm taking video trying to correct it so the DI's don't deduct 20 for each bad one I do. Other than that, just trying to eat right and get in the best shape of my life...

    Not to be a Debby downer, but I just spoke with my processor and she said they are looking to release results around the very end of February and early march. She didn't specify why there was such a delay, but I really hope they release results a frick ton sooner. Can anyone counter this?

    HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL that's a high selection rate.

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    I would also like to know this. The may 2016 selection rate for SNA was 59% of a total 149 applications or so. And SNFO was like 52% of around the same number. I would REALLY like to know the November board selection rates and stats.

    ASTB study guide

    Okay, so I got a 52, 6,7,6. And that's because I studied my BUTT off pretty much 2 or 3 hours a day for a whole month. I was relentless. I taught myself mechanics from the ground up and also math. Here's what I used: 1. Barron's Military ASTB practice test book. (Buy it on amazon and have it...

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    So for example, my GPA is AWFUL, so enlisting first isn't a bad option for me even though my flight scores are good. If I had your OAR score and GPA, I wouldn't take any guff from a recruiter saying you don't have good chances. I wonder why he thought your chances are grim with your scores?
  36. TheFlyingViking

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    Same here, I'm going nuke if I don't get picked up this round. I'll just keep applying while in A school. Your Oar is good for sure! I would say you have as good a chance as the rest of us!!! Good luck man!

    Thank you sir!
  38. TheFlyingViking

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    From what I've seen on this thread you are above the average!! But based on what others have said, if you score 6s and 7s on the flight portion, you are competitive but not guaranteed. Your GPA and OAR are on point though so it sounds strong to me
  39. TheFlyingViking

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    The very first thing I did was leave a message with my OR, and since a previous poster on this thread said their officer recruiter said the board was moved to Feb 16, I just wanted a clarification.
  40. TheFlyingViking

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    I saw that, but some other dude is claiming that it got moved to the 16th.

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    Rufio, so is the board on the 6th of February or the 16th of February?? Thanks!
