PFA scores for Final Select? I tried searching for this but I couldn't find a precise answer. Perhaps the search-gods are not in my favor. I ran a PFA in which I scored Good-High on Pushups, Good-Medium on Situps, and Satisfactory Med (I think) on the run. I am pro-rec'd and just got these...

I got mine for "free" when I bought Ace Combat 6 for XBox with the flight stick and throttle. At least I can use the stick for Microsoft Flight Sim X. Though the throttle and rudder buttons need some recalibrating...

Commission Request? (Edit, Two Questions) I have two stupid questions: 1. Do any candidate officers request to commission into another service? And if so, how do they do so? What arguments are made? 2. Do any candidate officers ever gain weight at OCS? So far all I've heard is about people...

Pro'Rec'd SNA!!! Woot

dude really, Revan1986... pfffft =D Just had to comment on the screenname. We all know Revan was the shit. Also, I really hope we find out soon. The waiting is killing me. Damn retail job doesn't make it easier!

Haha score, well that would make the flights go by faster. /DangerZone

So... here's a good one. Quite Stupid Question. Do you ever get to bring MP3 Players up into the cockpit to blast some ... motivational soundtracks?

Why do I doubt that's the case? Or am I missing sarcasm?

haha the only thing that worries me is water survival... I think getting a chance to improve in that would probably be useful if I want to do SNA . Swimming is NOT my strong point!

App'd SNA, Intel, NFO in that order. 23/Male ASTB: 6/7/6 51 GPA: 3.3 School: Amherst College Major: History Minor: None, Mid East and Int'l Relations specialization (Turkish history) LORs: Navy CAPT (former Naval Aviator), Three Professors Activities: NJROTC Cadet LCDR, highly...

Thanks for the really detailed response. Very much appreciated.

After OCS, are there often times where the training pipeline is backed up and you get sent to your hometown temporarily for recruiting (or other) duties until your spot opens up? I've looked a bit on the search, perhaps I didn't type the right words to find what I was looking for.

My chance? App'd SNA, Intel, NFO in that order. 23/Male ASTB: 6/7/6 51 GPA: 3.3 School: Amherst College Major: History Minor: None, Mid East and Int'l Relations specialization (Turkish history) LORs: Navy CAPT (former Naval Aviator), Three Professors Activities: NJROTC Cadet LCDR...

Yeah I suppose I'll go check the guide out, thanks for letting me hijack temporarily. Last thing though, even if I pass acuity by quite a bit, will it matter if I'm slightly astigmatic? Just seems odd it'd matter.

{My vision is 20/25 left eye and 20/30 right eye, both correctable to 20/20. Being within the limits of visual accuity, are there waivers available for astigmatism?} Messed up that quote command ... anyway... So let me get this straight. I have 20/10 right 20/15 left post-PRK almost 5 months...

I got Custom PRK done 4 months ago, worth every single penny.

hopefully Feb... Let's hope I can get into Feb. Just got my PRK 3-month post op done. 20/15 Left, 20/10 Right :) Applying OCS - SNA, Intel, NFO 23 Years Old 3.3 GPA History with Mid East and Int'l Studies Specialization ASTB - 7/6/7 LOR's: CAPT USN ret, various Professors Jobs: Sales, Office...

I hope so too. My app is gonna be sent in late Jan, my recruiter says he'll get me into Feb's. We'll see ^_^

Hi all, My contact at the recruiting station seems to give me different info everytime I speak with him, so I figured maybe someone here can shed some light on this. Does anyone know when the next intel board for 2009 is going to be? I'm submitting a package in late January with the hopes...

Thanks JSF_Dreamer. I decided to get the surgery and am going in on Friday. So I get 3 months before I can apply for OCS and see what happens. My eyesight isn't that bad, but I'm sure I'll be glad to be able to wear normal sunglasses and not just clip on those bad boys lol.

McBuff thanks a million. I'm at around -2 diopters so I guess that makes it 3 months. That's not too bad at all. Problem is now I gotta inform my recruiter at NRD Miami about it and hope we can work through all this.

It's not so much a second choice thing as a question as to what my chances are of getting in through Lat Xfer would be, since I'd love to get in there and do OCS now and PRK once I'm commissioned. I can't really afford PRK now, but I'll do it if I think I have a decent shot at SNA. If I had...

Yeah but it feels like forever down here. Got a job and all but I'm bored out of my mind. I'm at the point where going through OCS and getting pinned even if not selected for aviation is a decent option. But I've never been the patient type! Love the avatar btw... nobody messes with the Fett.

Hey everyone, posted this in Lat Xfer and in Becoming an Officer sections. I'm 23 years old, about to finish my paperwork for OCS, and have some questions that have been bugging me. I want to be an aviator, but can see myself doing SWO or NFO if I am not selected. Problem is, my eyesight isn't...

Perfect! Thanks EA6BFlyer.

Thanks Bluesig. Did you have to get it done via the office you worked with in the CG first or did they just pull your records?

My apologies, I must've done a Freudian and spilled out what I had read about the AF.

LOL Oh Airwarriors how I love you. I'm not sure which service I am joining yet, but I've gotten pretty far in the Marine process and just am not 100% certain yet, so I'm trying to figure out what's the best service for me.

Hey everyone. I'm currently done with my paperwork for OCS for the Marine Corps, but I've been thinking that maybe it's not for me. Would it be possible to get my MEPS information and all the other paperwork converted over for the Navy? I did a search but didn't quite find what I was looking for.

I'm a bit confused. Is 20/70 still the cutoff for uncorrected vision for pilots? And are waivers being given for being slightly over? Quick threadjack kinda... Is it possible to get contracted SNA before having PRK or is it that if your vision is past 20/70 you MUST (no waiver) get the surgery...

Haha. Well here's hoping I figure it out BEFORE shipping out somewhere!

Interestingly enough I'm at the crossroads of deciding which service I am going to join. I got all my papers in with the Corps, but still not 100% sure yet. Though it's weird to hear you went through OCS, then later decided you might not want to be a Marine. Usually don't people use OCS as the...
