    Next pilot board date?

    My recruiter said that the date is 7 July. I dont have much internet these days, so before I forget, I wanted to wish everyone good luck with the up coming board. Hopefully there are some new happy people on the board when the results come out.

    Who do you talk to?

    Agree with the above. Its an Officer recruiter, and you have to have at least 12 months left in college.

    PRT questions...

    https://navy.rotc.psu.edu/guest_pages/PT/index.html#Male%2020-24 I am not positive those are accurate. I think the numbers may have changed, but I could be wrong (regardless the numbers rarely change much). I recommend that you take a practice test (Sit ups, push ups, run, in that order) to...

    What would you do?

    This is true, I just hope that I dont waste a month, or something else because of that what if. Likewise my GPA has been going up every quarter, and I will continually have more flight hours, and if I retake the ASTB better scores... At what point do you say, I feel they will be happy with the...

    What would you do?

    Everything on my package is complete, the last thing I did was my PRT. For various reasons (excuses suck anyways so who cares why) I didnt do as good as I normally do. My overall was a Good High. Normally I would be around an Excellent Medium. I may have an Excellent High in me, but thats about...

    Drugs

    It sounds that way, and it is generally in your best interest to get the information from official Navy websites if you can. A lot of reading, but the info is generally correct and gives you a good insight as to your options. However, come here to find out which is the best way to go with your...

    Just took version 4

    I need to go look up what is competitive, but I defintely know I can do better. I got my results today, 59 7/7/7. I will probably take it again in about 3 weeks.

    The Eyes have it - All things Vision-related

    Yea, I normally have 20/20 and 20/25 (L/R). At MEPS I had 20/20 and 20/40 in part because the guy was barking at me. And everything on this post is right (hydration, rest, etc). Anyways, even at that my recruiter was concerned about it. I hate to be negative (really) but I would be concerned as...

    Flight Physicals: Depth Perception

    Why is that?? 1-3 arent legit for #'s 4&5? Same story basicly, the guy at MEPS was barking at everyone and rushing them. I was so nervous (gee its only my dream since I was 6 on the line here) that I ended up testing way, way worse in my right eye than I ever have before. Thankfully, it was...

    Flight Physicals: Depth Perception

    When taking the standard 10 level 5 dot test, I find that I have a difficult time right around 4 or 5. But then I can see 1-4, 6-9 without any problems. Any ideas? I have taken the test a few times over the years, and most of them are extremely apparent. But for whatever reason #4 or #5 is...

    Officer Selection Board Address

    I believe your recruiter has to submit them to the recruiting area HQ. Like for here in Irvine, it goes to San Diego before going off to CNRC. Good luck finding your recruiter (you could always try to find another in the area in the meantime to have them submit it).

    Does GPA from transfer colleges count?

    I talked to my Recruiter today because while in HS I took a course at a local JC. He said I had to get the transcripts and submit them. So I imagine as everyone has explained youll have to submit yours as well. If its not too late I would say something about that in your motivational statement...

    Just took version 4

    Most of the stuff on this site provided great preperation. The Marine Gouge was pretty accurate to the types of things on the test. As someone already mentioned in another post hardly any of the Spatial Apperception tests went directly up/down the coast, or in/out to sea. Most of them were at...

    Aviation Maintenance Science

    As it was explained to me by an Officer friend of mine. The military needs engineers and it needs pilots. People who majored in Engineering can become both. People who majored in Political Science can't be Engineers (well not likely). Since the military is short on engineers as it is (look...

    Been MIA, but now its only days

    So I have been MIA for the past year. I had some of those fun life events occur that cause delays in things, but now I am only about a week or two away from sending off my package. I have the ASTB tomorrow, and MEPS on Friday. PRT sometime the following week. For the PRT it is 2 minutes so...

    Am I Too Far Gone?

    Go on the any services website and hit locate a recruiter, it then usually has a check box or seperate search to locate an officer recruiter. Your location says Los Angeles, there is for sure a recruiter here in Irvine for the Navy. I know there is an AFO recruiter in Long Beach.

    AF, Navy, ROTC, or the Academies?

    My .02 As far as where to go, you stand the greatest chance of becoming a pilot by by physically qualified (obviously required for all of the options), having the desire, and going to an academy. They get the first pick, and from what my friend at teh AFA told me pretty much everyone who...

    Moron Watch: Ensign Jailed for Terrorizing Civilians

    Mk-82's

    Ahh, thats pretty sweet. I wasnt sure if it was like a prototype drawing I saw years back (probably im Pop. Mechanics or something) about ordinance that would essentially shoot (like a cannon) a warhead close to the ground in order to penetrate the earth deeper. Thanks for the info..

    Stupid Question

    Your welcome. FYI: I've also seen it as PFT (Physical Fit Test). BTW I just noticed your aviatar for the CAP. I'm a senior member at Sq. 150 (Los Alamitos JFTB)... but i'm just 20. I am trying to do Navy the BDCP way out of U.C. Irvine.

    Sink Like a Rock

    I taught swim instruction last summer, so a few things about this... 1) Some people seemed to have an excessively hard time learning to float, and not regarding technique, just seemed their body (usually the legs) would not float. 2) The legs usually come down first, and bring everything else...

    which is harder AFOQT or ASTB??

    The original post mentioned physical tests as well... While I have zero knowledge in this field (w00t being a lowly college student), from what I have seen the PFT scores from the Navy test is harder (PFT only). 1) the AF gives '~5 minutes' between segments 2) Perfect scores on the AF test...

    Changing Major while BDCP

    Just 2 cents... (and based on nothing useful) I imagine if the delay isnt severe AND the change is from a liberal art to engineering, then they might accept it. But thats about the only way I see them being ok with it. I assume you dont want to call your recruiter to ask?

    Got to pet a Raptor today.

    I was all of probably 6 at the time, but I was a big fan of the 23 and was disappointed to learn that the 22 won.

    First OIF Medal of Honor to be awarded on Monday

    Its too bad that the medals are almost always (if not always) given posthumously (because typically the act that gives them the MoH takes their life). It was a great story, and from reading the post it sounds like there might be some other potentials for the MoH. Our country is lucky to have...

    GPA and your school

    GPA and your school

    Yea that scale would be highly annoying to be honest. But the Plus/Minus system hurts as much as it helps btw. Say you were to get a 92%, you would get a 4.0 for that class, where as on the plus/minus system it would only be a 3.7. There was a comment that I was worried about it (things...
