    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    Just be wary, I think that will only bring up stuff google indexed. So newer stuff probably won't show up until google indexes it. Not sure on how often google updates.

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    Could you please elaborate on why you wouldn't fly Marines? They seem to be actively recruiting for aviation right now, just based on empirical evidence. I spoke with an OSO the other day he says he can pretty much guarantee a flight slot with good PFT scores.

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    Although I don't know what percentage ASTB / GPA count here's the consensus: ASTB is the biggest weight for SNA / SNFO (by how much I don't know) GPA is the next biggest (In general) Personal Motivation Statement / LOR are not looked at unless there's a tie between 2 applicants. Lastly, the...

    What do you think about Navy food?

    Our cafeteria on campus always has a line out the door when classes let out @ 12:00. Otherwise its normal. This line is kinda scary though:

    What do you think about Navy food?

    On point 2, I found that my monthly food bill was much higher when not eating at the cafeteria. This is why I love cafeterias. You can eat healthy food for a pretty low cost per meal. Ofc, they also serve pizza and cookies everyday. I always wonder why similar cafeterias don't exist outside...

    Retirement decision before or after OCS?

    There was another thread where they voted on this: https://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/old-vs-new-retirement-system.43619/#post-832832 There were only 35 votes, but looks like the majority say voted old. Where are those finance majors when you need them lol

    Retirement decision before or after OCS?

    Sorry Rufio NRD didn't assign me one. I did however look it up in the 2017 NDAA here: https://www.congress.gov/congressional-report/114th-congress/house-report/840/1 To anyone that has the same question, take the following with a grain of (pink Himalayan?) salt cause I'm still unsure: The...

    What do you think about Navy food?

    I'm glad to hear its cafeteria fare, I actually really like my school's cafeteria. If you didn't eat in the galley during your time in the fleet, then where did you eat? Also could you please let me know if officers are allowed to eat at the base galleys? Do you pretty much give up BAS in...

    Retirement decision before or after OCS?

    Hi all, as everyone's aware the military is changing the retirement system. Anyone "joining" before December 31, 2017 can choose between the old or new option. My questions is: Do we choose the retirement system and lock it in before / on the first day at OCS or is this done on the day of...

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    I have been told by a person at the NRD on the phone that in addition to the motivational statement there is some type of addendum where you can explain things like why your GPA is low. Do you happen to know if the board reads this addendum?

    What do you think about Navy food?

    In 2017: On shore: How would you rate the food in the galley? (Please mention base, if possible) Can you eat fairly healthy? Are officers allowed to eat at the galley? If not, what did most do food-wise? On boats: What did you think about boat food? (Please mention type of boat, if possible)...

    How bad would it look if you took Algebra after Calculus?

    I looked up this guy and I definitely do not want to be like him. Thanks for sharing, I will keep this in mind not to make it a habit. Luckily, I talked to my adviser the other day. He says that based on my circumstances, I should submit an appeal to change the F's I had to W's. He says hes...

    How bad would it look if you took Algebra after Calculus?

    Thanks all! I recently completed a few more courses ahead of schedule (online classes). So my GPA is a 2.3 now. Got a little bit more to go and I'm gonna give the board a shot! All the input helps very much in deciding the next batch of courses I need to sign up for. They will start around April.

    How bad would it look if you took Algebra after Calculus?

    I've tried contacting my local NRD again today. Once again they asked me a set of questions and told me I'd be contacted back within a couple of hours. As with my previous phone calls, I was not contacted. I take it they're probably not interested in me with my low GPA. So I suppose I don't...

    This summer semester I have 4 higher level Computer Engineering courses which will be challenging. I need to add 3 more classes on top of these to be eligible to apply for the board by the end of August. I was thinking I could do Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Intro to programming logic. That way I...

    FY 17 OCS BOARD SCHEDULE

    Any new info on Pilot / NFO boards past 11-Jul-17? I noticed that this spreadsheet start on 18-Jul-16. Does that mean Pilot / NFO boards past Jul 2017 will be part of FY 18?

    23 JAN 17 Pilot/NFO Board

    1st reason is because they did not count the F's that I transferred in. As far as how my college calculates the GPA, it is higher according to my college because they do not count / forgive previous F's if you repeat a course. I have a 3.3 according to my college lol. In the private world...

    Flying at night with Starbursts after PRK

    Thank you for your advise! For the orientation flight, could anyone please recommend looking for anything specific? Perhaps paying extra attention to certain lights or signals at the airport or in the air to guage the severity of the starbursts? Thanks!

    Flying at night with Starbursts after PRK

    Thank you for sharing your experience. Yes, I can still drive / read at night. I'm thinking I should schedule a night flight in a cessna during a pitch black night and see how it goes. So far, it's been a challenge to find such a thing. Do you happen to know how I could schedule / get a...

    Flying at night with Starbursts after PRK

    I haven't mentioned this to my OR. I have not gotten a MEPS physical yet either. I believe however this is a subjective issue. I don't believe there's a test that will pick up the starbursts / halos

    Flying at night with Starbursts after PRK

    Hey all, 2 years after getting PRK, I have slight starbursts at night. I was wondering if anyone else has the same issue? Would this effectively be a blocker from flying? If so, is there anything that can be done to fix the problem?

    Boosting your GPA with community college courses

    Do you happen to know if certain courses are not counted? If I'm taking Introduction to Billiards for 1 credit hour at a community college, will it be counted as long as the college assigned credit and a grade?

    Boosting your GPA with community college courses

    Yes, I'm 24. I did the math, it will take 44 hours of A's to get to a 2.5. I have 22 credit hours more left in my degree. On top of that I have to take 22 more and make A's in all to get to the 2.5 minimum. I can definitely do 22 hours of "BS" classes in one semester and manage A's in all...
