It should be a couple weeks or so, give or take. Your orders will say how much, when you get them. By the way, other than 4 days proceed time or whatever they give you, the time you take between that and "report no earlier than" still counts as leave, so just keep that in mind.

We were told that as of just a couple weeks ago they're only keeping ~15% of DOR's and NPQ's in the military.

For one, make sure you're talking to an Officer Recruiter and not the enlisted ones. That does make a difference. My recommendation is BDCP if this is what you know you want to do. You still get the hands-off college experience as long as you stay out of trouble, and they'll pay for it too.

Also...how much?

Gunny didn't even allow smiling or laughing on our first libbo's. True story.

I'd suggest you start looking for gun shows, you can usually find some pretty good deals there. Additionally, you'll get to browse through ALL types of firearms and try them on for size. In my opinion, the firearm you buy in the end should satisfy your budget, caliber satisfaction, and...

Serves you dirty leftist commies right for electing that pentagon in the first place! :icon_rage :D

Older generations have withstood so much worse, with much greater stoicism. You should suck it up and count your blessings to be living in a country which STILL is and STILL will be the greatest in the world for quality of life.

You get an interim clearance. Pro-rec to final select took about a month for me.

Fine. Good on him though, for sticking to his...guns? hmeh hmeh hmeh... :D

It's genius. With gunsmiths lobbying for Obama, he'll be a lot more likely to overlook them during his administration. Think of the big picture. :D

Do you want to be a naval officer?

Well when they do come after your guns, IF they actually do, :icon_roll then you'll have to make a big enough stink that they don't. Dudes...relax.

I heard a rumor that they don't do bear crawls anymore? Wtf? So you coming down to Pcola?

LEARN HOW TO USE THE DAMN SEARCH FUNCTION!!1 Just kidding. You know, all you really have to know about OCS is that indoc week really sucks. It was kind of a blur though, which helps you forget it at the end. The details of the schedule are inconsequential on hindsight, and do trust us when...

Just kidding. Relax and focus on OCS, people get waivers for everything.

The font? Why, it's COMIC SANS, of course! Secret gouge is you get extra credit from the DI's if you use it for your stamps, too.

Ahem! Ok, ok, so this turned out completely the opposite, I think Palin had the definitive upper hand on this one. Looks like they learned from the last debate because she was straight to the point, didn't point any fingers, called Biden out with some good zingers, and generally made me feel a...

IMO you are way too young to be thinking such heavy thoughts. Relax, and enjoy your youth while you still have it. Naval commissions carry a lot of responsibility, and you'll have plenty of time to do that later. Right now, just stay out of (serious) trouble, and keep your grades up. You...

Will the moderator really matter that much? I'm sorry friends, but no amount of coaching is going to cut it. She couldn't even handle Katie Couric. This is going to be about damage control. This is going to be a slaughter. EDIT: Turned out this was completely wrong. I am surprised and...

I got in with a 2.5 (eng. degree), and a really high ASTB score, and my PRT scores were only good medium. I think you have a good chance, especially with good LOR's.

Dude. Elliptical machines are nothing like actual running. Get out there and beat pavement.

You're family's probably wondering how often the Navy will rope-a-dope you into applying for a pilot slot and then sending you to iraq as a marine. Doesn't work that way.

He is. Supposedly he's got pretty much every movie ever made.

I dunno. KJI is a strange bird. My theory is that deep down he secretly loves us.

I'm going to see how I feel in a few years. And then a few years after that. etc.

:icon_smil

Yeah dude, it's true. My gpa was 2.5 and I made it in fine.

*taps window of sarcasm gauge*

Fixed that for you. One step at a time. Yes, college major is a factor, but they look at your "whole package".

No of course you don't NEED to, but like he said, it behooves you to try. TRY. Just making good-low is going to mean that when your form really counts and DI's are looking for their roll-quota, you're going to be hanging on to the bottom rung of the numbers ladder, with no margin of error...

But anyway, back to the topic. What happens to an OCS drop out?

Doesn't matter how long it takes, it will feel like forever either way. :)

Totally. Always push your limits each time you run, and back off a bit and jog a stretch if you can't take it. When we ran with the LT at OCS, it often felt like my lil heart was gonna pop, but by the end I went from 11:40 to 8:56. Word.

Nope. All I know is, I showed the old retired USAF aviator my orders, and I didn't pay him tax. PS WOOO go Illini

Sweet, I bought my first handgun last Sunday as well. Got a Ruger P89 9mm. I had gone intending to buy a Sig, but this felt so good in my hand, in terms of grip and balance, and the price was much better as well, so here we are. Got it private sale so I didn't have to wait 3 days or...

Yep. I went through that whole debacle at OCS when I stupidly mentioned childhood symptoms to the flight doc (learned my lesson). All they had me do was go to a specialist who confirmed that I didn't have any, and I was set. If you already have that, then you're probably good to go.

There's also vans you can check out, so if they're available you won't have to worry about buying the gas.

Out of curiosity, where's that range at? :)

They're looking for sincerity. I hope you aren't planning on writing a bunch of pageant answers.

Aw dang, looks like we just missed ya. ;)

I'd say it would be ok if you were bumping around the same joint and happened to talk while you were there, but I wouldn't get too buddy-buddy. Appearances ARE everything. Use your judgment.

I'd say...like anything, it has its big advantages and disadvantages, which you should think hard about. Obviously it's a lot of work and sucks sometimes, but on the other hand there are those good days...I got cat-called today by some hot chicks in a benz; nice. Anyway, my point is, think...

Depends why you were attrited, agreed...you didn't get caught UA at walmart in town, did ya?

Israelis are hardcore. I'll say one thing though, they have a sterling reason to carry in their neck of the woods, and I bet they have a lot of respect for their weapons. I guess when you're in constant danger of being under assault like that, you save your energy instead of going on a spree...

Not that I've ever done it or would ever do it of course, but, That stuff's not really a social drug. After one does it, you don't get the feeling like you want to do it again any time soon. There are a lot of youtube vids out there of people trying it, which I think makes up most of its use...

Wellllllll the IN-PRT is pass-fail, or so I have been told. Your application PRT is definitely a facet of how good your application looks, so do as well as you can on that. I know for a fact it can't ever hurt to do as well as possible on every PRT, but something is definitely wrong if they...

Those are competitive scores. Don't sweat it.

Because we have a pretty good thing going, and I'd like to feel like I'm pulling my weight.
