rescheduling wow, that is some very interesting news thull i'm wondering how concrete it is...even if its only two weeks earlier that definitely changes my timeline.. i guess i better touch base with my oso.

230pft Your definitely going to want raise your PFT score, 230 isn't competitive to be candid, i'd say get it up to 275 or greater. As far as getting the PRK done, i'm not versed in the eye department when it comes to eye operations but from what i know i believe it takes a little while for...

Your chances are better if you get your packet in as early as possible as mentioned earlier. So with that you may want to do EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER to have it submitted by the July board, otherwise slots will be taken, and your chances will diminish by the august board.....have you take your...

I had to do my flight physical prior to getting selected....i was always under the impression that this was required. Why would they select a canidate for air, then later after a flight physical have to NPQ her/him b/c of something they discover. Both times i applied which were out of two diff...

Ok bear with me here, as a few beers have definitely found their way to the liver, but i'm very lucid. The support received on this particular thread has been well received and more than i imagined, every post has had advice that i've sponged and will bring foward to the table next time she...

rustbucket first thing that came to mind was wow, first of all this was my gf of one year not my wife so your situation is definitely more overwhelming but i appreciate you relating. The fact you two ended up staying together and resuming your journey TOGETHER is definitely inspirational. Did...

Sounds like you couldn't have wished for a better afternoon, must've been a real treat to get out there and have those experiences! Good luck to you and your husband and keep everyone posted!!

Aw Oh the range of advice that can be gained from this site is priceless...

thread this thread is doomed....

i definitely like what i hear about corpus, last time i lived there i was 6months old back when my dad was doing his thing with the Navy (flew H-46's), so i don't have quite the recolection but i definitely have a soft spot for the latinas so i look foward..... anybody on here meet their current...

Well she's gone, maintains however we still need to hang out (as friends) tho to me thats just going to make things worse. How can one go from a year long gf to a "friend"....eh can't happen. Neways my last night was fantastic she's gone, i'm grabbin the pooch heading up to cowell mountain...

its becoming crystal clear.... The more i think about her decision the more i count my blessing whether it was a blessing in disguise or not, everyone on here has elucidated what i couldn't see. She's either 100% with me and lets do this, or she's 99% and going to be a drag through the various...

pat Haha, definitely set myself up for that one!

another ? I've been reading other threads that are parallel to my issue and everyone seems to be either all for bring your spouse/gf along the ride with you or not at all.....since i know there is only one significant other i can really trust when is the best time if any during training to get...

haha a picture is worth a thousand words....

just got word.... she's giving me one more night.....

Thanks Hey gents, and all the women in here, thanks a million i just hit the links here in Coronado and had a few schooners and i do feel better. There's nothing like coming home and seeing i have 27 replies to my depressing thread. Hal not to be crude but i do think your advice is the best...

Mustang Haha, i was actually hoping you would respond i wanted a female perspective and thats a straightfoward honest one. Thanks guys i was anticipating a barrage of sarcasm but i appreciate the ones i received. OCS is only 10 weeks but TBS is 6 months and flight school is over a year....so...

Girlfriend Not trying to be a pansy, but a woman i THOUGHT was the one for me has decided she can't bear me being away for so long and doesn't want to wait for me. We've been together now for a year next month and i leave in oct for OCC196pilot. Its pretty pathetic but i am a little shook up...

getting in I definitelyed recommend you apply as you can see my gpa is low, but i was still selected....only one way to find out

Gpa GPA 2.4 something.. ASTB 7/7/7 PFT 280 OCC196 SNA

ryan Hey ryan i feel ya man, i don't think i'd concentrate so much about getting that perfect pft as much as i would rounding out my strength, and cardio. I'm in the same boat you are scoring really high on my pft's but not cracking 295, i got selected for OCC 196 so im trying to prepare as...

teufel Yesterday i did my first WOD instead of the muscle ups tho did 120pullups/120 dips in 35mins...pretty sore but felt amazing after, and feel nice and sore today..:D

If i do decide to purchase some boots to break in prior to ship i've been hearing through the grapevine that getting steel toe is a bad idea, and you don't want to have those in quantico......cause i was thinking about the belleville 550st

bikerboy So by jumping right into it you mean just following the workout of the day everyday?

slammer That boot rumor was floating around the MarineOCS.com forum, though there was a lot of back and forth. What you did sounds like the best idea, break in a pair and get used to a pair before i ship use those at OCS along with one of the issued pairs, and use the second issued pair for...

teufel Ya know i've meandered around crossfit.com do you only do the workout of the day each day or is there like a 10-week program or something like that. Re: boots, after doing a lot of reading i belleviews seem to be in higher regard then the bates, i've been hearing that OCC doesn't allow...

not too eduated on matter but..... my cousin is a USNA grad and recently returned from iraq after working with anglico and has turned in his paperwork to transfer to the Marines, he said it can take anywhere from 3-6 months before its approved (by SecNav...not positive) if it's approved he then...

thanks Hey man appreciate the awesome advice, i'm not shipping out until Oct, so i figured it couldn't be a bad idea to get acclimated now to the world of boots. Are you indifferent between the belleville and bates or do you have a personal preference between the two? Also anybody download...

Is it a good idea to start training in boots prior to departure for Quantico? If so how soon before leaving should i begin training in them, and what model of boots should i be looking for?

haha Its amazing how much i was able to accomplish today after hearing the news, its like a new start, laundry got done, room got cleaned(sheets too), got some PT in, made probably 5000 phone calls, its been joyous, now its time to relax with a samuel adams and watch a little baseball...

Got the word this morning, i've been pro-rec'd for the Oct class...SNA. After not getting selected out of college taking a year to work and realizing it was now or never to get my packet together again for a second shot, i'm glad i did. Thanks for all the words of wisdom i've received through...

not yet Are you east or west? SNA or SNFO? Congrats b.t.w!!

Ras when i asked East Coast or west coast, i was asking if he lives on the east coast or the west coast, and right after i typed that i noticed Maine under his avatar...

wow....i suppose i should clarify my question before this thread goes any longer in the wrong direction...i was asking him where HE was from and then i noticed below his avatar Maine.

cw I'm out of the mission valley office...east coast meets before the west coast does, but i could be wrong. Are you applying SNA? if so how'd you do on everything?

what what were your numbers if you dont mind me asking? PFT, ASTB, LOR's, etc....

duh let me guess maine?

you heard today? are you east or west coast?

good ol' time damn that sounds like some good times, my days of backpacking yosemite would sure come in handy! Thanks a lot, i've been kinda worried about that....

I'm leaving town this weekend and can't attend the mini ocs at pendleton, does anyone know if that will have an impact on selection? Does the board even take notice if you went or not, i'd hate to have that compromise my selection b/c of an extenuating circumstance.......

anyone ?

any west coast guys know when they roughly should hear back about selection? I'm pretty sure my oso said around today or the next several days, but i'm not positive.

west coast just spoke w/ oso and i guess west coast board meets 17th of apr apparently for 195/196...and they're pretty hush-hush on results until general signs off on them.

thx haha....ya being in san diego i have many hills to choose from to run up and down on so i've begun to infuse that into my workouts, along w/ my lifting and just plain running....i appreciate all the reply's...and will to try remain healthy over the weekend before my pft....could be hard as...

zag are you going through the office in mission valley?

oh is anyone else applying for the oct occ class 195 i believe for air?

thx for the great reply's, i'll probably do a little interval training tomorrow say 5 X 800's or somethin..... the twenty pullups i did during the pft wasn't a fluke i just found out, i was able to do it again at the gym a few minutes ago...never thought this day would come... now if i can just...

in the gym surely increases your speed right? Like i said in an earlier thread i ran a 3mi into the wind at a horrific 23:30 instead of running today i'm going to hit the gym doing my squats, extensions, calf raises, etc and then maybe do a run on sunday for my pft tuesday.....just curious if...

.... well i believe the astb is good for forever (which is awesome)...(7/7/7)...the flight physical i had to redo b/c it was good for only a year, and thats pretty much the same for everything, i think there was something that had a 2 year expiration but i don't remember maybe epsq or somethin...
