Like vision requirements, ASTB, something else?

On SNA %s, my OR said ~50%. That's good news for everyone here I hope! Also, sounds like EOD/SPECWAR and Nuke are priority for OCS slots, so I'm looking at leaving in the Aug/Sept time frame if everything goes well. In retrospect, kinda glad I got laid off. Now I get some severance money +...

Just got the call! Pro-rec SNA!!!! Good luck to everyone!

Has anyone here visited the island proper after NAF Midway was decommed? Maybe as some sort of excursion from Pearl? Seems like it would be an awesome historical trip. Getting there would be interesting. The island is owned by US Fish and Wildlife now: http://www.fws.gov/midway/visit.html...

I don't know if my blood pressure can handle Friday...

What about shots of it? On the WT note, their distillery is pretty cool, even if the cheap bastards don't give you a sample. They did have some lovely bourbon cake in the visitors center available to sample. Also, the bridge nearby was extremely beautiful, but only single lane (:eek:) as it...

Really? Anyways, this thread has now promoted itself to page 1 on the iPhone, as well as bookmark toolbar on my computer. I might break the F5 button today. Keep hope alive folks!

Same idea for me, go for a run, make dinner for the girlfriend, bottle of wine, try not to think about this stuff. AW check once more before bed. Cell phone will be permanently attached to my hip should OR call.

Seriously, you guys are killing me here...

I think it's hilarious we threadjacked our own Boards thread. Also, I want to punch all the people in that video in the face.

So in a sweet stroke of irony, I was laid off at my job yesterday. The job I didn't have my boss do a DD370 for because I was afraid they'd let me go if they knew I was looking elsewhere. A few other people in my group got it as well. However, when my boss asked why I wasn't super upset, I...

Sorry, I was getting at the fact that the KA-6D airframe was modified (removal of DIANE and other parts as you said to make room for the tanking equipment), not just a regular A-6 with the tanks added. Could a "regular" A-6E take the buddy tank with integrated basket like the S-3 did and Rhino...

Texaco Being as how the KA-6D was a different airframe than the A-6 (from my google-fu), was there just a set number allocated per A-6 squadron, or to each Air Wing? And was assignment to one a regular rotation or a special qual? Good deal/bad deal flight?

Simple answer is "No", Long answer is No, but honestly if you need a calculator for more than a few you really need math help. There are a few that are a bit difficult, but can be done via division/splitting/technique.

Sent you a PM with contact details. As for the other stuff: You'll take the ASTB and PRT after you contact the Officer Recruiter. Studying is advised for the ASTB, use the forum here for a good start. There's a metric ton of ASTB knowledge on here. Others will have to answer about PRK and...

Just left my recruiter and they are submitting me today for the May boards. He doesn't know anything about rolling into the next month, so I'll just cross my fingers and hope it doesn't happen. Stats: Applying SNA OCS Only ASTB 8/8/8/66 College: Marquette University - B.S. Electrical and...

Maybe this is a stupid question, but can I wait until after I commission to get the USAA loan? Is there a "time limit" if you will? My lease isn't up for a while yet, so I won't need it immediately, but would like to use it for the car loan/private student loan consolidation (damn you Wells...

I bought the Barron's, and used the ARCO and Marine Gogue. -ARCO was worthwhile for the spatial portions and aviation/nautical problems. I'd say their math was a bit too difficult in terms of figures you had to manipulate without a calculator. Caveat this with I haven't done math without a...

Long time lurker, first post. Took the ASTB last Friday and scored an 8/8/8 66 Pretty pumped about that overall. A few thoughts: Math Section - Not bad. I was an engineering major in college, so this was pretty simple stuff. Basic Algebra, simple geometry for figures/angles, ratio...
