Heh, what if perchance you have both 1 and 2 applying to you.... FtLl, Mind, the interview was interesting at least. It's no big deal if you do wind up needing to do one.

No, not in my experience. As for food, I have the opposite problem, I'm 210, 5'11, 16% Body Fat. I look for any way to cut calories out of my diet. I take in about 1300 per day right now. Good calories and Lots of calories are two different things, mind. I would recommend as much fish and...

Stop running. Do the Eliptical. If that doesn't work, do the Bike. Splints will NOT quickly get better without RICE after every workout and time to heal from their present aggravation. For a week minimum, you need to be massaging, icing, and keeping from high impact stuff. Afterwards, it's not a...

Have to add Flogging Molly, Cham ft Akon, TOK, Don Omar, Breaking Benjamins, and Third Eye Blind to the list

Do they REALLY celebrate that day or are we pushing that festival and trying to boost community ties or something?

Not necessarily true, though in 90% of cases you're right. Some of us did go to MEPS before we went up for our pro-rec. I hadn't even finished my Application before I went to MEPS. I went in the day after my ASTB. I also had my security check initiated before I was at board. The other officer...

If you have whoever send your OR a letter of rec via e-mail, he'll maybe copy and paste it into a form, or ask you to do it over for him. For his convenience, you could maybe get an electronic copy and have your referees write their rec in that

Best to ask your recruiter what he wants and give him exactly that. As far as needing originals though, I provided photocopies of Recomendations, Awards, Birth Certificates, etc etc etc. As long as it's a good quality photocopy of an original, I think you'll be alright

Have a look, see what you think. I hope it helps

Double Post, My bad.

BTP, I'm not really in a position to tell you specific ups or downs, nor do I think anybody is. However, if I were you and had a good explanation for my GPA (Mom passed, working time and a half to foot the bill, etc etc) I'd put it in. As for explaining the re-apply, if you think it adds...

Diagnosing over the internet is a bad call, especially with something like an Achilles, with that said... I'm gonna go ahead and say that if you're inflamed, RICE 3x daily. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) Also, see what Ibuprofen does for you, assuming you're not allergic to it. Aspirin...

Ameri, Once last piece of advice. You are not as anonymous as you think you are on this board. If you're selected for your program, eventually someone will clock to who you are in real life by you putting out enough accidental clues. Think about your first impression, say a sorry to a bunch of...

Ameri, PUtting aside the flames, you gotta trust your OR. He will drag you kicking and screaming through this process if you merit the time. The only way he has to know you merit it is if you can get the stats on the ASTB. Imagine the egg on his face if he sends you for a medical, runs you...

My OR said there were 7 selects from 210+ applicants, 4% selection rate. Seems Intel guys just congregate 'round AirWarriors

Now now, gentlemen, you can both tell me about that sweet, sweet pro-rec goodness all you like. I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing about it.* *Until I get my final-select that is.

Confirm Intel and IW are out

Have a look around, sure it's gonna be alot longer then a few weeks to your final select. Try the search with terms like "final select" Congrats. Search functions your best friend.

The grapevine says yes, there was an Intel meet. That same grapevine says they haven't come out with results yet, same as Supply, and I think IW and Amdo

Over/Under usually means the score will be either above or below a certain number. In this case, I guess I should be calling it Before/After. In either case, I'm still calling After May 1st. And I have a bear claw for the first taker?

So I gather that Suppo/Intel/A Few Others have yet to be released, which I find very interesting. Anybody still waiting wanna do an over/under on may 1st? I got a Dunkin Donuts bear claw says over if so.

Does anybody remember this? http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-specter-jeffords29-2009apr29,0,2430682.story The hypocrisy is the part that really makes me laugh/cry But hey, if he loves the job enough to stick around during chemo at 70+ years, who are we to say anything...

No worries there. He's up about 4 from me

No need, B got it

Not that it's scientific, but when I and my dad went to a VW dealership to get him a sedan, we wound up getting the demo BMW M5 for about 5k more then the Passat we were looking at. It had about 500 miles on it, and because it was Demo, it had the base line engine, not the actual M. Still...

We just issued a travel warning http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE53Q3F320090427 saying Warning "you should avoid non-essentials, so on so forth" Of course, the warning might as well have just read: It's Mexico

if I post pics of her, there'll be no takers, and then I'll never get her outta my parents house, and that just defeats the purpose of the whole exercise, doesn't it?

No, but if you're interested my sister is single and likes men in uniform...Just sayin..

Yeah, I'm iNtel/Swo/Suppo, haven't heard either. OR can't seem to get in touch with me. Standing by to Stand by I suppose.

To be fair, if he makes it into the West Bank, the majority of people will probably be delighted to have someone they can show their side of things to, if he doesn't say thinks like "I'm a Jew in the United States Military." Maybe he'll even get invited by someone to have a sit down for food and...

True story. I'd called in earlier and told he'd been given compasionate leave for a family matter though. Given that, I figure i'll let the guy have his time...Do you think it'd be bad form to call another guy in the office?

Thanks for the heads up Renegade. You didn't happen to hear if they'd put out info for Direct Ascension yet, did you?

You shouldn't have as much a problem being in West Bank as in Gaza.That said, you WILL have 'issues' with the border control on the Israeli side. Getting back in will be a bitch and a half due to lines and heat. Bring water when you're about to cross. PS, Don't wear any of that birthright...

In terms of guilt trips, I'll see your half Jewish half Catholic mom and raise you a bringing home an Indian/Black Jamaican baptist girlfriend to meet her. Three years later and I still hear all sorts of lovely reminders about that one...

I remember when I said I was looking Navy. "Yea, go, don't worry about us. I'm sure we can figure out how to fix the computers by ourselves. Your sister won't miss you much I'm sure, and the dog will be fine without you. Go, it's good for your career. I promise I won't worry about you getting...

I agree that if you've got parents from abroad and are applying for a regular clearance, there shouldn't be an issue. The OR I spoke with seemed insistent that all immediate family for an INTEL clearance, on the other hand, had to be American Citizens

Yah. I'm awaiting Intel, Swo, Suppo That did factor into mine as well. The only hang up you might watch out for is, are both your parents US citizens? that may hang up your higher clearance if not.

I don't know about that. I was told I'd made intel for this month..... I love rumint..

Sure thing Sam. Can you shoot me a private message come saturday just to make sure I get 'round to it? I've scanned it briefly, and see some room for improvement. I'll be happy to help

My days, but doesn't it seem like alot of people were getting massacred this month? Maybe it'd have been better to request a push back!

Nice one Pistol. I would recommend coming in with a stronger opening statement, and then see what you think of my suggestions. I like that your'e able to use alot of the slang that they might recognize. It gives you a more experienced tone than one such as my self with no first hand experience.

Some of us like to when we can. Most of the people that help out are themselves applying, and so are usually in school themselves. Unfortunately for you, that means alot of us are scrambling with deadlines right about now, so responses might be delayed. However, if you're willing to wait till...

From what they told me, Large amounts of debt not related to education or homeownership, history of alcholism, friends in foreign intelligence services, etc etc. That's rumint though, so if anyone knows better than I...?

I hope that's not true. I've yet to hear about my pro-rec and people saying that they're FBI are running about interviewing everyone I know..

Fair point. Objection withdrawn

Sorry guy. Best of luck on the next go round?

Yeah, but if you're taxing based on consumption, then basically, you're going to have to beef up the sales tax to huge levels. Thats very regressive because it's poorer people what tend to consume more relative to their income. Wealthier people who can save more do much much better under such a...

MB, I wouldn't even begin to comment on your particular situation. I freely admit that I'm in no way qualified to discuss the myriad ways our current system is letting you down. My point in my above post is that I do see the fairness in some of our more productive citizens paying more for the...

Actually, as penance, here's a bit of gouge The three credit agencies are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.The three each give different indicators of debt health, so they're usually all checked. The free website to check all three results is https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp .

My sincerest apologies. I just wanted to call attention to Swerd's post. No malice meant. Won't happen again. I should probably add that my sister got stung with FCR a few weeks ago and it took us along time to get her free of that mess, thats where my strong sentiments about this issue...
