    First Time Scores

    If I were you, I would seriously think about taking the test once more. Take a good week, 2 or 3 hours each day of which to study the gouge on this website and pick up one of the study guides. Take the practice tests, be 100% proficient on the spatial apperception, and brush up on your math...

    Pensacola Beach Blue Angels Show

    I was thinking about heading out there tomorrow, despite the insane crowd that'll they will surely draw, but I was wondering if anyone knew what time the Blues were scheduled to begin the show tomorrow. I've googled it and come up empty.

    Fortunately there is no lab work for my classes, but definitely thanks for your insight from someone who has been there.

    Graduate School

    I've just recently been accepted to UWF's Master of Arts in Security and Diplomacy. Awesome. The catch is that I will hopefully be leaving for USMC OCS in approximately a year. The program is 33 hours and apparently typically takes a year and a half to complete. I thought that I'd be...

    The Final Countdown

    I've just recently heard about this film and really would like to see it. None of the video rental stores in the Milton/Pace area have a copy, am I going to have to buy it blind from Amazon? I'm sure many of you have seen it judging from the summaries of the film, is it good enough to simply...

    Just Graduated, Need a Gym in Milton, FL

    If one did, would that be something someone would include?

    Just Graduated, Need a Gym in Milton, FL

    Also, out of curiousity... I'm looking for a job until I leave. If I possess a security clearance, would that be something to include in a resume? Hypothetically of course.

    Just Graduated, Need a Gym in Milton, FL

    I just graduated from Florida State University and am hanging out in Milton, FL until I head to OCS. Now that I no longer have access to one of the best gyms in the country, I need to find one. I used to have access to the gym on Whiting Field but am no longer a dependent since I have...

    Taking Leave During TBS?

    I know that you get about 2 weeks between OCC and TBS, but do you get to take any leave during the 6 months of TBS? My gf is pretty worried about not being able to see me for that length of time and I was wondering if theres anything I could tell her to make her feel more at ease. Could she...

    History Channel: Creation of the F-18

    Just thought I'd let you guys know that the History channel is doing a show on the history of the Hornet. I believe it started at 2:00PM EST.

    Atsb 2/9/06

    I agree with pretty much everything you said. And for those of you with non-technical majors... don't worry, just study the gouge on the site and you'll do fine. I'm a Social Sciences major and thats all I did and ended up with a 67 8/8/8.

    OCC Slots

    Why were the attrition rates higher than normal? Anyone have an educated idea?

    OCS this summer

    I'm assuming this is same 5 paragraph OPORD the Army uses? Situation, mission, execution, service support, command & signal?

    The pull-up question

    Go to the gym and lift. I do a split, one day I work chest/bis/shoulders and the next I work back/tri/traps. I'm up to 24 pullups. Put in the effort and you'll see the results.

    Tomcat Sketch

    A picture I printed out. I did however measure certain parts of the aircraft so that I could keep it in proportion, otherwise the overall shape might have been slightly skewed, and I didn't want that.

    Haha, good one.

    I was kinda bored yesterday and thought I'd be creative. Clearly the background is a bit too plain, no pun intended, any idea what I should put in, if anything?

    Bye Bye Airforce

    How old is this information? I've heard this a few months ago but then it was decided that the Air Force would continue its previous plans with the CTOL version.

    F-4Us in Vietnam?

    Excuse me for my ignorance, but I wasn't aware that the Marine Corps flew the F-4U Corsair during the Vietnam War. A friend of my parents, a Marine Corps Major is setting me up for an interview with a retired Marine Corps pilot who flew in Vietnam for a research paper I have been assigned for...

    Just took the test! :)

    Those two weeks of waiting will suck, trust me. But if you put in the effort beforehand, you'll be pleased.

    ROTC to OCS?

    I'm somewhat in the same position. However I was in Army ROTC, 2 year scholarship recipient and a graduate of Advanced Camp. I brought the issue up with my PMS and he was extrememly unhelpful, in fact threatening at the mention of trying to switch over. I'm awaiting a board to see how the...

    PRK advice for an age waiver candidate

    You get used to it. It took me 45 minutes to put contacts in the first time. Takes about 5 seconds each eye now. Keep practicing.

    USMC PLC NFO vs Aviator

    I was under the impression that once your vision was documented at worse than 20/400, you were restricted from flying, regardless of getting PRK. Is that not correct?

    PRK advice for an age waiver candidate

    Have you looked into the contact lense program? I guess its pretty new, but my eyes aren't good enough un-correctable and had a Major in the Marine Corps call a friend at NOMI to ask about options and that was one of them. From what I've been told, you have to have a prescription at least 6...

    Florida State Chicks (Attn: ThisGuy)

    As a student here... for only one more semester unfortunately, I do have to say that yes, we have some amazingly beautiful women. I've been to other schools and they just don't compare. Especially the northern schools. Gross. I've heard good things about the Texas schools though. Go Noles!

    I took the ASTB last Thursday here in Tallahassee, FL at the Marine Officer Recruiting Station. The test was sent priority to Pensacola to get graded (I sure wish I had taken the computerized version) and was told that I would get my results today, 24Jan06. Well, after waiting all weekend I...

    Just took the test...

    I noticed that there were probably 10 different "Supplemental" sections that you could be given. Does anyone know if you are only graded against the people who take the same supplemental section you took, or is it against them all regardless?
  36. BarrettRC8

    Just took the test...

    I just took it and my last section was all math, and was considerably harder than the Math portion of the test. Out of 30, I guessed on 4 so that was dissapointing. Looking forward to getting my scores on Tuesday.

    Electrical Circuit Questions.

    I've been studying most of the material I've found on this site off and on for a month or so, and the only thing I don't understand is the electrical/battery type questions. I don't ever recall learning any of this in High School, and I haven't taken any classes at FSU that has hit on the...
