IFS is just for SNAs not SNFOs correct? Thats what I thought at least. If you get your PPL and skip IFS we could end up in the same API class as well...but lets not get ahead of ourselves, there is that 12 weeks of "summer camp" we need to get through first.

SNFO's do IFS as well.

Did not know that. Thanks.

Yeah all flying designators have to do IFS or have at least their PPL. So if you get to skip it that's 3 weeks ahead you theoretically could move forward. However, my only concern is that they'll still let us sit around for 3 weeks to class up at API, and we all end up in the same place regardless. Like we said before, it's all wishful thinking so we'll find out once we get through "summer camp" lol.

17 July here.

I am BDCP, going for Supply.

Just requested to join the facebook group.

So how does it go exactly, 12 weeks of OCS in Newport, then where do I go for supply school?

Did not know that. Thanks.

Yeah, I didn't either...coulda sworn I saw a thread that said NFOs skip IFS. Ah well.

While we're all feeling so optimistic...I'd love to get commissioned before Bucknell's homecoming weekend, see if I get a chance to swing by. There are some professors on sabbatical and students abroad that I'd love to see one last time before flight school eats my soul.

Yeah, I never saw anything that definitively said NFOs don't go, but everything I've read so far says PILOT or NAVAL AVIATOR so I assumed (usually a mistake) that NFOs skipped that journey. I'll find out eventually either way.

If all goes well we will commission the 1st week in October, so if Bucknell's homecoming is after that you should be ok. You're BDCP like me so we will have some leave time we can burn between OCS and our report date to Pcola.

Hey guys, I will be going on the 17th of july as well. I am BDCP going for SNA.

Anybody out there reporting to OCS on July 17 2011?

Hey Greg, there is already a posting for our class...but yes. We are out there. We also have a facebook page titled US Navy OCS 17 July 2011. Check it out and request to become part of the FB group if you are on FB.

Hello Ladies and Gents, just got the word, it looks like this is my date too. I guess there is a facebook page, so I will be joining that too. Looking forward to meeting you all.

[NTXRockr]

I believe there's three of them now LOL...many people do not search greater than the 30 day range that automatically posts up.

Mods, is there any way we can combine all of them together for everyone's benefit?

 

[NTXRockr]

Glad to have you aboard! If you haven't done so already I've created a Facebook page for us and our families, friends, better halves to communicate with each other before and while we're at OCS, so feel free to join (I'm admin on there too FYI).

 

[NTXRockr]

MODS...since we now have three of the same threads open for 17 July, do you mind combining them into one for everyone's benefit? Thanks!

 

[HH-60H]

I merged them.
