    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    Sitting in a business conference in Vegas. Just got the call from my recruiter that I received my finsel letter and will be shipping out for the June 25 OCS class. Good place to celebrate before heading home tomorrow to give my 2 week notice and start studying Appendix B.

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    Update on the renunciation of non-existent citizenship. My OR inquired with their CO and was able to forward me a letter template that better suited my situation: "Dear Sir/Ma'am, Effective the date of this letter, I, [your name here], respectfully and voluntarily renounce my eligibility for...

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    I was born in the U.S. and my mother was born in the U.S., but my father was foreign born. Both parents have U.S. and Israel citizenship. The form to sign includes the sentence, "I have destroyed my (Name of Country) passport on (date of destruction) in support of my decision to renounce my...

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    I checked in with my recruiter to see if final selection letter had come in. He informed me that before I receive anything, I need to sign a letter denouncing my dual citizenship. Both of my parents have dual citizenship. I do not. I indicated this on the NASIS form. Anybody have experience with...

    Good! We need someone around here to troll us while we're losing our heads in pro-rec and fin-sel purgatory and someone to give us good gouge on application processes and such.

    I got the call but said no to the April class. I think I'm tentatively scheduled for the June 25 class.

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    I was just contacted by a DoN official. Official asked if I could ship out for May 14. I said I put July as earliest ship out date and requested for the earliest class after June. Was informed there is no July class and next is August ?4? I requested the August class. Official proceeded to tell...

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    Just got a call from OR asking me to ship for May 14th class as well. If I have a choice, I'm gonna push my ship out date to get some things in order at home, but better start studying up on Appendix B and getting my run time down to 9:00min.

    OR just called to unofficially confirm there was a typo in my first name on the list but there's an Pro-Rec Y NFO for Dally from San Diego so if there are no others out there, I'm claiming this as mine.

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    No waivers except for eyesight. Was originally NPQed at MEPS for SNA/SNFO. Something about depth perception I think. Got N3M qualifying me for SNFO but not SNA. I'm sure the board members look at applications as a whole so there was probably something in there they didn't like. Doesn't mean...

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    Not sure how results are posted. All I know is at least some of the results for NFO applicants have been posted. Just gotta roll with it right now. Worst case scenario, wait a minimum of 6 months and apply to the next board after that. If Navy is all hurry up and wait, better learn how to do...

    12 APR 17 SNA/SNFO Board

    I'm an NFO only applicant for this board. Just got in touch with my recruiter and he says he doesn't see my name on the list of those selected for NFO. Will more results be released later or are they all released at once? I guess I'll have to wait to hear back from upcoming SWO board to see if...

    Ahh, the infamous Porter squiggle. This was actually the college I was in. Some said it represented the curves of a woman if you looked at it sideways... This was my take on it:

    Still in limbo on eyesight waiver. I'd rather wait to get cleared and submit to the June board than jump the gun. Others that require an age waiver may feel differently.

    Not that I know of, but I definitely wouldn't be surprised if that was a thing student health used in previous years (I racked up some volunteer hours with them throwing condoms at students). I've seen enough strange things on that campus and in the redwood forest there for a lifetime.

    Scratch my last post. Eyesight is a firm 20/40. Looks like I'll be applying 1) NFO 2) SWO. How do I get into Brett's squadron?

    Hey all, checking in from NRD San Diego and submitting in one week to make this board. Just retook the test and happy to say I improved enough to submit with confidence. I guess studying during downtime at work and brushing my teeth with my right hand really helped. All I've got left is a couple...

    For the past several weeks, I've been studying the following flashcard sets/study guide about 30 min to an hour every day with what little available time I have as well as brushing my teeth with my non-dominant hand (I'm lefty) and playing video games with inverted controls. Just retook the...

    The Eyes have it - All things Vision-related

    So if I was already cleared by MEPS for my physical on everything but my vision, would I be able to go back just for a retake of the eye exam? My recruiter had informed me that going back to MEPS was unnecessary.

    The Eyes have it - All things Vision-related

    There is a chance I misunderstood my recruiter but I would like to clarify, how does one access a military hospital/clinic as a civilian for this purpose?

    The Eyes have it - All things Vision-related

    Just received word from my recent MEPS visit that eyesight was 20/50 R 20/25 L. Saw an Ophthalmologist/former Flight Surgeon this morning for retest who determined that I am in fact 20/40 both eyes. His results clear me for my SNA application so I'm grateful for that. Just want to pass on a bit...

    Yes, the joystick is inverted as though flying. It tests your ability to multitask and hand-eye coordination tracking targets. You start with the throttle on the left side and track a plane with your reticle moving up and down vertically on the left side of the screen. Then you use the joystick...

    1,001 questions about the ASTB (post your scores & ask your questions here!)

    You are supposed to focus on the designated ear (left ear vs. right ear). Therefore, if the instructions indicate "left", you listen to your left ear (despite numbers and letters being said in both ears) and press trigger when an even number is said in your left ear and clutch when odd number is...

    1,001 questions about the ASTB (post your scores & ask your questions here!)

    I am also left-handed and took the PBM portion right-handed and intentionally so. My recruiter allowed me to move the equipment but I realized that it would be twice as difficult in a left-handed orientation because in addition to the joystick inversion, you would have to track your left hand...

    Best Way to Improve Push-up Score

    One thing that I have found helps is adding isometrics (read: static holds) to whatever program you are doing. This is because the PFT is an endurance event in that maxing out scores requires continuing to push past that 1:00min mark that many people (including myself) burn out at. Peak muscle...

    Thanks for the quick response Wildcat, I believe that I can improve my score. I guess the issue is determining how much I would expect to improve on the calculated ASTB the 2nd time around other than how many questions I get correct/wrong on the practice tests. What study materials can you...
