there's a difference between flying as a passanger and flying as a pilot. I about to get my CFI and did my spin certification today. i did about 5-6 spins myself today and it didn't bother me a bit. but I let me flight instructor do a spin and...well... i was ready to head home. i didn't barf...

My OSO was a prior Navy and decided that OCS for the Marines was more fitting him. So he graduated from college and went to OCS

My advice, bring like 5 extra rolls of the 1" athletic tape. You live by that stuff, and you burn through. You'll be marking EVERYTHING with that stuff. another recommendation is to bring your own name stamp. Go to an office store (ex: office max) and get your last name on it, ESPECIALLY if you...

call it whatever you want...thanks :D

I just found out, 190 here I come...I'll see you guys there.... This feeling is definately undescribeable(sp?).....wow......what a great day... s/f Matt

I just got my 20 pullups tonight, and I'm pretty excited about it. Just wanted to tell somebody. Now I need my crunches to come through. Matt

He just keeps applying until he gets it. I graduate in May, but am applying for 190 which is in october because I have a bunch of stuff I have to do this summer before I ship out. My buddy graduated a year ago may (04) and he is applying for 189,(5 June). As long as you have graduated from...

OCS dates here http://www.ocs.usmc.mil/New_Web_Format/Command_Info/OCS_ClassDates.htm

Good post, thats a cool website. Helpful too.

No kidding, Drool is right The Few, The Proud

Thats because Aerospace Engineers are competing for the flight slots with the AFROTC, and we have no NROTC, so USMC is the next best thing, and they guarantee slight slots before we even go in.

I'm going for USMC OCS, and I know a guy who even got a pilot slot with a DUI. He had a Pretty strong package, but he still got that pilot slot. As long as you look like you've excercised good moral character since that event, I would bet you'd be ok. I don't know much about the Navy's programs...

I'm shootin' for 189 too. Signed the contract, just hasn't gone to the board yet.

So only about 15% of applicants are accepted into the occ program? I'm going occ because I graduate in may. Goin for 189.

Whats the acceptance rate into OCS? If you qualify for everything, are you sure to be accepted by the board? Just wondering how that stuff goes.

so do we get our MOS assignments at ocs or tbs?

Anybody know how long the air intelligence school takes? From about the time you report to intelligence school to the time you report to your 1st job?

No I understand what you mean. But It is impossible to cheat. If you can't see it, than you're screwed because the places you have to go for the eye exams are all different. I totally agree about those cheating to pass. You can train your eyes though too. And those eye exams don't mean you...

hey jg5343, you are odviously pretty ignorant when it comes to this matter. do some research on colorblindness. I can see reds, I can see greens, and I can see most other colors. Being colorblind won't kill anybody. Being a crappy pilot is what kills people. You don't understand that...

i'm not sure how many books they show you. But they eyes are very trainable. If that doesn't work, than the falant is the next step. Email me with your cousin's email, I want to know how he did that.

by the way, I can see green and I can see red, my eyes just don't see them well when they're all mixed in together in those dot tests. I have a waiver for the FAA.

That light test is called the FALANT. Or otherwise known as the Farnsworth Lantern. People who aren't colorblind don't understand. If you fail those other tests, you can take the FALANT which tests color perception. Its acceptable for Naval/Marine Aviatiors, the AF doesn't accept that anymore. I...

Hey guys, I'm a flight student at ERAU in Az. Graduating in the spring. I'm kind of colorblind. I have a waiver from the FAA, but I'm wondering how intense are the eye exams to fly in the USMC? My vision is 20/20, I'm just a little red/green colorblind. A friend of mine told me that when he was...
