Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Wouldn't be as neat if you lit up sensors for miles, or if it ripped off everyone's belt buckle and wings and put them through the bulkhead.

I got prorec'd with all good ranges, and I'm not ROTC, but my GPA was only 2.5. If you're good to strong on your other things, you should be fine. I do understand the sweating you do while you're waiting though. Hang in there, brudda!

What was your question again?

Aha, they're running out of ammo! Classy Al-qaeda, classy.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,327205,00.html I can only imagine the magnitude of the EM ping this thing gives off when it fires.

It's a streetsweeper, hm...I wouldn't bet on being able to get one, I'm pretty sure drum clips on shotguns are damn illegal, even semi-auto... Still, DAYUM, I want me one too! :D

There's no way I'll get there in time...it's up to you, now...do your duty...for your country! :D

I'm no perfectionist, in fact, girls that aren't smoking hot make me feel less self conscious and better about doing them. Even if a girl IS hot, if she's disgustingly stupid or bitchy, I just can't do it. My wiener KNOWS if I'm disgusted by a girl deep down and will operate accordingly. I...

I'm not a pro at this yet, but it seems to me, in a military housing environment where they KNOW that tenants move in and out on a regular basis, that this is TOTAL Bull****. They're going to end up getting most of your rent this way. Agreed with snake, move on.

Hm, looks fun...so let me propose a hypothetical scenario, y'all let me know if this is feasible: Suppose you just graduated OCS, got commissioned, got orders down to Pcola, and you probably have a couple months (?) before you class up for IFS. Time for a tour of Europe? (Or Brazil?) Think I...

So, you don't actually need them? Better try to work things out emotionally on your own before you go and fvck your brain chemistry with pharms.

Forget that service, almost everywhere I've been has had horrible reception. I'm changing up as soon as I'm in.

Just be honest. Wanting to be an aviator since you were 8 has been done lots already. Don't worry, they'll appreciate your candor. Like Spek said, tell them what the Navy can do for you, what you can give to the Navy, and why this means you're applying.

My theory is, it's a lack of proper scope. It's so laid back and sunny in Berkeley, it's probably hard for them to see the need for war, except that most places in the world are nowhere near that...

Uh oh. Better get that looked at, ya wouldn't want your guts trying to spill out.

Sure. 1. They take your % correct scores and compare them to everyone else who took the test in the past, let's say 6 mos maybe. They combine the section scores in different ways, and rank you by percentile against everyone else who took it in, let's say the last 6 mos. The scores for each...

As long as they're back up by the time I get there.

Sand people? Old news. I saw that on a documentary film, YEARS ago.

Will do, thanks for the info...I guess it makes sense than your FINDOCS were already well-known to them. It's ALSO real good to know about when we'll be shipping out, so I can start making plans. I'll let you know when I get a class #, we should start collecting names.

You got final select already? Still waiting on mine, should be here soon I hope. I should call my recruiter tomorrow!

Yeah, but that's just for DRIVING. Suppose someone got in trouble because they made M80's and their chemistry prof boss gave the ones you gave him, out in class because he didn't want them anymore. Suppose some dumb students thought they were bombs because of how much he exaggerates, and you...

After pro-rec: "Now it is time for the second part, the FINDOCS. These basically consist of a medical physical (normally done at MEPS), Physical Fitness Assessment (running, sit-ups, push-ups), Background Investigation Security Questionnaire, fingerprinting, and various other papers primarily...

Between the boards and final select, I think the only thing they look at is medical...did you have any medical issues that might have been a problem? Eyesight, sinuses?

...of the selected? Total average is 5/5/5/40, by definition.

Your recruiter can access that. I don't think they publish that to the general public.

I'm not adopting ANYONE's kid! Nuts to that! :eek: Dude! You might want to check out the navy ocs website, or heath alvarez' gouge, or any similar post or website...

Ok, just so I don't miss any really good opportunities, what ARE the good reasons to take your car to OCS? Other than being able to store your iron/cell phone and extra junk in the trunk, driving your mates on liberty, and the backseat for the ladies, and not having to catch taxis to the...

It might not be perfect, but I remember finding the answers to all those questions without much trouble. Maybe you should have used different phrasing, or maybe you should have started out in the Required Reading or the FAQ section!

They take your scores on each section of the test, combine them in different ways to get each rating, and rank you on a bell curve compared to everyone else that takes it. Your score in each section is determined by regions of your percentile on the bell curve. Each one is supposed to be a...

Oh yeah, he's wearing one of the new AF flight suits! :D

They usually meet once a month around the 15th, I think. You got the devil's ASTB score, Thunder! I remember reading on AW somewhere, and my processor told me this too, that to reapply is 6 mos later, unless you make a major change to it. (LOR's don't count) IIRC this is a new rule. Since...

No, I didn't assume that's what they'd actually do. But it can't hurt to be ready for all that, either.

Agreed. I think we got them spanked in that arena, although we gotta watch out for those quiet diesel subs they keep coming out with! It's nice of them to let us know their plan so we know what to look for and get ready in advance. Sounds pretty effective as far as this humble war n00b can...

Not much on rank at all, that I remember. History was limited to probably the very most important date or two, like when the navy began. Nautical terms were pretty basic.

Argh, I kept waiting for him to shout that as the guy drove off! Alas. Maybe the next checkpoint.

Maybe a repost, but if so, worth watching again. :) http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1750946

Congrats! Looks like you can change your ? to something more like a "!"

On the internet.

Once I was on my way to rescue my dad who got shot down in some sandy hellhole, and me and my salty wingman must have shot down like 10 MiGs on the way in. But then Chappy got shot down, and I had to pretend to be a whole air wing in order to get the enemy commander to bring my dad out on the...

The solution to that, though it will wear your feet out at first, is to run on the pads of your feet. Like a panther, rawr! And take shorter strides. The result is you aren't banging on your bones and joints and it takes a lot of shock out. I killed my calves and feet at first, but as they...

Keep trying! Blow up his phone til someone answers!

Hey, I'll gladly take him to replace tons of other guys out there who are MUCH worse. The world could stand to have a few more progressive muslims.

Results are in! Pro-rec'd for NFO, but NOT SNA! :eek: And I'm taking it! Guess they thought I'd be better at the instruments than the stick. OCS date and all that jazz to follow, once I get my papers in next week. Banzai! :icon_glas

Moonbeam Bin Laden, that's rich! :icon_lol:

Ok, so if I understand this right: You don't get per diem because you have no orders to go to your first PDS yet. Per diem is for travel due to being ordered en route to somewhere. So until you get orders to primary, you should be getting BAH, which is BAH-T due to your presumably single...

If you ask me, this is a hilarious and refreshing new twist on ways to rebel against daddy. Go get him, tiger!

No problem at all man, it could happen to any one of us...glad to hear it's ready to go, though!!! You guys post up when you hear, ye hear?

Whereas Navy OCS is more like a vacation. Free room and board, free exercise program, free motivational speakers, and free wake up calls, all within 5 mins of the beach. ;)

Oops, I misread, guess you'll be imprisoned in the mean time. Good luck in any case.

You got your new OCS date then skim? considering the timing, we might be in ocs at the same time...hopefully see you there!
