You never know what the boards/Big Navy is planning, but I'd say if they're requesting it, to not argue and just go get it done. Everyone has had their share of hoops to jump through...this is just one more b/w you and a possible Pro-Rec/Final Select

Second that. I'm hoping to be in the Dec. 6th class as well, even though when the class returns from break, they will still be in week 3 of INDOC.

Wow, I can honestly say that I would never have the balls to come in and make a bold statement like that in the current position I'm in. Bevo's put me in check before for a few things, but did it via PM and that got worked out and is fine now. I was wondering how long it would take for that...

Its probably not a misunderstanding and I also wouldnt go annoying the crap out of your OR or the secretary by repeatedly calling. When they know, you'll know. Just because results are out, doesnt mean EVERY SINGLE NRD gets them at the same time. Don't know why but thats how it seemed to...

Ha my bad, i didn't go all the way to the end of the document. When I first got sent the application back when I started applying, everything after the moto statement was not attached. They only completed that after you did the application. But yes, that document is it and thats what they...

No I am not. The remarks section is overflow for applicants. I used that section to detail all the countries I had to been to, when, why, and how many times. Also to explain speeding tix and anything else I needed room for as well. You won't see the form that they submit, depending on your...

Adjohns - No need to make two separate posts about this. People will see it. Secondly to all you guys, the reason why no one really answers is because every week we got about 10+ new people here at AW who ask "What are my chances if (insert ASTB score, GPA, or possible problem here)" The...

I've said it once and I'll say it again... MEPS is the devil. :icon_rage

No its not....Lazers are you being facetious or have you been under a rock this past week? :icon_tong

I would highly advise you guys to make your FB group private so you can't see who is in it or anything else. Look at some other OCS facebook groups on usnavyocs.com and see what they did. The last thing you want to do is have every candio and DI at OCS have access to your pics and likes and...

My FINDOCS have been submitted awhile ago and still waiting on stuff. My JPAS said that it couldn't be verified, so my processor sent it to the OPO to see what that meant. But there is nothing I can do for now, so still waiting... My processor mentioned that they are filling up the November...

I have a friend from Univ. of Michigan who was Aerospace with me. He did ROTC and went CEC and loved it. He told me to check it out when he found out I was applying but it wasnt for me. He's a LTJG right now and as far as I know, still loves it.

I just saw that Inside Edition is doing a story on it tonight...should be a bit interesting. There are a alot of pissed off people around colorado talking about how it was a hoax.

Fucking colorado....sometimes people here amaze the hell out of me. I'm calling shenanigans on that thing being able to hold a 6 year old child safely. I'm sorry, I've worked with small weather balloons and such in my engineering classes and I REALLY don't think that would safely hold that child.

You should be fine. I believe Marines is only Pass/Fail, but someone else will correct me if i'm wrong. ---------------- Now playing: Lmfao - Shots via FoxyTunes

Good Luck AV8R!!! Hope you got your Big 4 memorized brotha!! Hopefully see you there soon!

That's what my OR said as well too. I have nothing else to do and they just had to refill in some stuff on my SF-86 but he said I'd likely end up in a January class which is cool with me. He also said I may have to go back to MEPS to do an "inspection." I would just go back to make sure...

I really feel bad for all you guys in this month AND september. This would be killing me, but it took my entire process 10 months from start until Pro-Rec, so I do know the feeling to a point. Good luck to all of you guys and if you haven't, the selection stats for the most recent SNA/NFO/SWO...

If you've been studying like you say you have, then you'll be fine. The math on the actual test was way easier than the math I've taken on the GRE and even in all the study guides. Don't be nervous. It's just a test. YOU decide how you will do on the test not the test itself. The test...

Yes and every single day I have someone ask, "So when will you know?" Every. Single. Day. It was fine at first but now its just getting annoying. I just want to know so i can finally be like "I report on xxxx date, now shut up" :icon_tong

Dude, do a more thorough search. As we've noted tons of times, there are MULTIPLE posts with working links and attachments. Me and DukeAndrewJ have posted all of our gouge that we used for the test. Click on my name and search the posts. I believe its in the "1001 things about the ASTB" or...

I've taken the advice of several officers on here and my own OR. I really don't care what changes occur at OCS. I'll deal with it when I get there. Reading about it and spreading "gouge" from xxxx isn't going to help get me there any faster or help me prepare for it. Yeah I know about the...

I was a former Nuke applicant before switching to Aviation. The only way to get into Nuke is to go through the app process for it, and then the NTO's (nuclear trained officers) at CNRC will either recommend you or not for the next step, which is usually the VIP trip. Everyone on the VIP trip...

Ha, I'll trade you. I'll take the slow group. :D

Fuckin A 6 inches?!?! :eek: I thought I was done with that shit after football/basketball in high school and rowing freshman year of college. Great. Just Great.

August Board Acceptance Rate Guys here are the acceptance rates for our month: Pilot BDCP: 5 out of 9 accepted = 55% Pilot DA: 30 out of 46 = 65% NFO BDCP: 8 out of 14 = 57% NFO DA: 29 out of 56 = 52% SWO BDCP: 14 out of 24 = 58% SWO DA: 63 out of 109 = 58% SWO-Option DA: 1 out of...

That describes every day for me. Except my friends go "How do you not know? Its ridiculous you have to wait so long and they dont tell you." Then my Mom, who is equally frustrated and not a patient woman goes: "Can't you just join the regular Navy as an Officer??" I didn't even know how to...

I'm going to agree with what everyone else has said. If you want it go for it. Quitting your job? I was unemployed during this process and i made it through, but its not fun. Still isn't. You can def work on your app when you get home, I can't imagine you're working 80-100 hours a...

Ha yeah I did work-study in the high energy particle physics lab. I also worked 4 other jobs to help pay my tuition/books/beer money. My dad was the sole supporter of my education, my mom didn't pay anything, so I tried to help out as best as I could. He told me transferring out of Michigan...

University of Michigan - Aerospace Engineering with a Spanish and Math Minor. Absolutely. I was an out of state student and I had an awesome time at Michigan. As various others have summed up, an engineering degree is definitely nothing to flippantly decide to do. Michigan Engineering is...

The Lift equation. The coefficient of lift eqn is also similar

I feel for all you guys that are near the age limit, but i'm sure it will all work out in the end. Just keep going and hopefully we'll all end up together and it'll work out the best for everyone. I had heard that your OCS graduation date has to somewhat fall in with your follow-on school. So...

Myself and DukeAndrewJ have posts that basically outline and have attachments of every piece of gouge we used to study. Here is the link to the page that where we both posted all of our info. Hopefully it can be of some help. http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=145333&page=36

I had a FANTASTIC weekend :D Bucki, how did yours go? /pouring salt in the wound

Bullshit. Terrell Pryor and I went to the same high school and his dad helped coach from time to time. He is exactly like that in real life. Nice guy but dumb as a box of rocks....and thats being nice. My high school wasn't rich nor was it known for pumping out people who are college...

No one knows whether you will or won't get picked up with those stats. What we are saying is that with the economy the way it is, and basically everyone and their mom in the civilian world trying to get into OCS right now for ALL designators, the competition is pretty fierce for everyone...

Ooooo you just committed the ultimate sin, but you're new so no worries. Don't ask "what your chances" or "how do you think this looks"? No one here knows your chances. Go to some of the May/June/July/August/September board threads and compare yourself to other applicants. I did notice one...

Just to piggy back what Wink said as well and to offer another suggestion. I had an undergrad GPA of 2.56 in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan. When I was in the application process, I was in the midst of pursuing a Masters degree from the University of Colorado while...

Yep....thats what I feel like may happen. There are still peeps from May, June, and July boards who havent been FS yet either and they are currently classing up for the Nov. 8th and beyond. I think we'll be in the January classes just in time for the heart of Winter!

Ha then you may not like this process. I got all my stuff done pretty quickly but switched designators from Nuke to SNA/NFO/SWO....so my entire process was about 9 months long and counting, but I have a Pro-Rec, so its not as bad as before. Waiting for the board to meet, and then realizing the...

Asking us what YOU should apply for won't do YOU any good. You're going to be the one doing the job as an Officer and you have to be happy with that. If you're just starting the process, go and talk to an OR or if you have one, go talk to him or her and ask them for a detailed breakdown of...

That is a great method....damn I gotta remember that one

That post was from May. GetAwayDriver just got Pro-rec'd from August boards, so I don't think he'll be taking it again. :p

Pretty sure he's kidding.

YES!! The thread that just keeps on giving :slaphappy

*Eat a decent breakfast that morning. *Don't drink too much liquid, however you'll get a break in between the OAR section before starting Aviation/Nautical, if you're taking that part. *Be mindful of the time, but don't let it throw you off-track. *Relax. *Be confident. If you've...

Bahahaahahahaahhahhhhahahahaah..... I'm sorry but that first line was just hilarious to me hahahaahahahaaha :D

I called my OR about "changes" to the SF-86 and he said no one has let him know that I need to change anything. Since I was originally going for Nuke, I had to do the TS clearance but I don't know if it was changed or not. Oh well, I'll just hang out until I hear something.

Every single question on my test was a small paragraph and then choosing the answer that best described or inferred details from the paragraph.
