I just got my Lat transfer from Supply to SNFO. I'm not to sure what the "trick" is. I begged and pleaded for good LTRs of Rec from 05s and above. That could have helped me. ENS Payne There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea. - Joseph Conrad

Can anyone tell me when flight pay starts? Is it when you start Primary? or when you start flying in Primary? Thanks ENS Payne There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea. - Joseph Conrad

Looks like I will be stuck in the pool for a few weeks with a couple of you guys. I am transfering to P-cola in late June to start API (as a SNFO). My orders are NLT June 27th... so I'll probably check in right around then. I could use a vacation after some sea time, but I hate the idea of...

I'm not too sure about the AF... NFOs are the back seat guys... they deal mostly with weapons, navigation and communication. I have a lot of NFOs on my boat. They all really enjoy their job. But you are not a pilot and I think that is what is hard for a lot of people. I love planes and I...

Just to clarify... CWO's are also Commissioned officers, but they are techniclally out ranked by ENS and above. In my experience I would tread lightly trying to push that marginal authority when it comes to a CWO. I will not be softened by the wishful thinking of pacifists who chose...

To be a CWO you have to be a chief first... which of coursemeans going from E1-E7 (at least) some CWO's put in thier package when there where Senior or Master chiefs. Hope that helps I will not be softened by the wishful thinking of pacifists who chose reassurance over reality. - Unknown

I am currentlyassignes to the USS BLUE RIDGE ( a Comamnd ship in Japan) and there a number of NFO's filling a million different billets. Everything from Force prtection to Intel spots. It appears that NOFs have alot more kinds of Non-flying duty that they can do. ENS Payne I will not be...

Sorry I haven't responded before now, but we are out to sea and busy right now. Congrats on getting picked up yourself. What community are you coming from Brodie143? Perdido Key sounds like the winner to me... I remember it being a nicer pilace to live when I was in OCS. Are there apts out...

Intersting that most people think that we should go to war with Iraq because he kills innocent people. Tens-of-thousands of people have been slaughtered and executed in africa and malaysia for years now and we don't do anything about that. And if we are fighting for people who don't like their...

I'm proud to wear the uniform I do, and I am proud to serve along side so many men and women in the military. I am most proud of the fact that in America EVERYONE has the right to say and feel what they want. We should all make an effort to support the people who support us, and NOT support...

Dr's, Chaplains, JAG etc. are Staff Corps and can not take Command at Sea, but they are not un-restricted line officers. URL Officers are AMDO, INTEL, CEC, Crypto. Supply weenies are staff corps and they have to go to OCS. They don't make Dr's, Chaplains, ans JAG's go to OCS because what's...

You guys are nutz! Most SWO's on my boat don't want to be SWO's. They are all getting out or redesignating! ENS Payne One cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war - Albert Einstein

If the NROTC program is like the AFROTC program at EMRU the BDCP program seems like it pays you a lot more and your time in school counts for time-in-serice, as far as, pay is concerned when you go active. ENS Payne One cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war - Albert Einstein

I'm in Japam and there aren't any guns allowed in this country at all. But on most bases you have to register your weapons with the MA's if you live on base. If you want to have them in your car I'm not sure if you can do that or not. ENS Payne One cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare...

I just got my orders to the June 27 API class. Anyone else out there gonna be in P-cola in June??? ENS Payne One cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war - Albert Einstein

Very interesting advice from the future leaders of America! Not to sound like an ass. But if you smoked countless times and you admitt to that than you are out. I was an Officer recruiter and that's the real deal. No more than a handful of times and you are not considered. And if you did...

The guys in my division trying to finish up collegeg classes are haveing a tough time because of the boats schedule, standing duty, and everything else. It is possible though, it just takes a lot dedication and hard work. If you enlist TA if 100% right now and with good eval adn...

I wouldn't imagine that the Navy would let you go if you got npq'd. They would find another communitee for you... you would just have to be tough on getting what you want. Don't let them bully you into taking something you don't want... like SWO! ENS Payne One cannot simultaneously prevent...

I wasn't in a paid program.. but it got NPQ'd during OCS and I was doing my package for redes at the same tie sone BDCP guys where. Basically you just write a Navy memo requesting a redes to up to 3 communites adn they send it out and if the communities like you they pick you up if not I don't...

I'm not sure if the guys who review the packages are in the same confrence as the detailers... but most of the detailers are at some conference this week until next week. I was stashed at NRD Jacksonville for 5 months before Supply school and I can tell you that CNRC works on their own...

I'm not really sure what the difference is between lateral trans & redesignation. I can tell you that it is the exact same board that reviews the packages. It might have something to do with every officer has a designator... mine was 3105 (Supply) and now I am 1375 (SNFO). I was a lateral...

Supply is great! Although I shoudl tell you that I transfering to NFO... but to be fair I was NFO to start and had some med problems. Supply is a wonderful community, if I had not gotten picked up by NFO I would have been happy to continue as a CHOP... with out a doubt. I am currently the...

I just got picked up for lat transfer to NFO... I have been out of OCS for about 2 years and I was hoping that someone can tell me some good places to live... Is it better to live near NAS p-cola or Sherman field? TO tell the truth I 'm not sure if they are close to each other or not. Thanks...

Hello everyone... I thought that I would throw my $.02 in here. I use to proctor the ASTB when I was on OHARP duty. And I have to say that there is always a lot of talk about form I vs. II but stats wise neither one is easier than the other. I've taken both tests about 50X each (had to do...

Being Supply is a great time... It was not my 1st choice, but I will never say that I am disappointed to be doing it. The general term thrown around a lot about Supply is "Business Mangers" of the Navy. I think that's fair. But not even close to covering everything that we (supply) entails. I...

Sorry I haven't responded before now... I was taking some holiday leave. I had an accident before OCS... a head injury that occured 4 years before. I taked with all the Docs at MEPS and emailed NAMI before going to OCS about it. They all told me that I was fine and not to worry. I got to...

Spin- I went to OCS as a SNFO and got NPQ'd in my 11th week after the quacks... I mean the docs re-evaluated my medical waiver. I was like you though... I still wanted to be in the Navy regarless of flying. My Father-in-Law is a retired Supply CDR and he advised me to go Supply. It was the...

I am currently a Supply-type on the USS Blue Ridge out here in Yoko-Japan. I just pickd up for NFO and I was hoping that any of you FO's out there could tell me what life out-side the Navy has to offer an ex-NFO. I'm just looking to make my choice of staying Supply or leaving for NFO training...

I was in an accident and had a head trauma... nothing major but any problem that you have is a major problem to the docs in P-cola... Good luck

TO make a long story short I went to OCS as a SNFO and came out as Supply... you guessed it the NAMI-Wammy got me. Anyway, I went to Supply school got orders to Japan and put in a package to redes back to NFO after I got a medical waiver[:D]. So, I'm gonna stay here in Japan for about a year...

I talked to my loan lender and they didn't know what I was talking about... If anyone else has any luck let me know how you did it. ENS Payne

mklepac... Sorry to say that your just gonna have to adapt-and-overcome. Good luck! Just memorize one version of the BIG 4... and if there are any changes at OCS they won't be too hard to fix. ENS Payne

El_Riddle It's really heard to say... some people do better than others. There really isn't away to tell, at least that I know of, pretty much a baptism by fire. BUt if you alredy have it memorized you should be better off... Good luck ENS Payne

Hey, Sorry that it took so long to get back to you... The only reason that I can think anyone would want to be a class officer is to impress the class team (Chief and DI) or something... and they don't have to stand watch... but I'd rather stand watch than deal with the crap... hope that...

Rolling sucks... The only thing you can do before you get there to keep form rolling is to go there in great shapeand have all your gouge memorized (the BIG 4)... Once you are there you'll have to study hard for the tests (not that they are hard but you have limited time) and kick butt on your...

benbines - OCS sucks for about 11 weeks the last two are pretty much cake. The 1st week (Poopie) week blows and it get tends to get a little better after your 7th week drill comp. The classes are not hard at all, but it is quick paced and you don't have enough time to study. So, basically...
