The best study guide I've ever seen for the test was a Marine study guide. Call up your local Marine rtecruiter go talk to them and get their stuff... it was basically the same test questions with slightly different numbers.

Stephen... we had a couple of people dropped from my class because of a swim hold. Keep the faith and don't give up. I will have to disagree with one thing though "BALLISICS" won't always save you, but a lack of ballisitcs will ALWAYS kill you. ATP

Well... it finally happened. One week a nd two days until I check in for my June02 OCS date. I had a nighmare last night I'm pretty sure it was stirred on by my 2 day non-stop watching of "Top Gun, Officer and a Gentleman, Crimson Tide, JAG and most of the Rockie movies(don't ask about the...

Ed... the humidity down here has been a bitch lately. I just got done running 2 mi at 11:15pm and I am sweating my ass off. The next 13 weeks are gonna be a blast! ATP

Kyle... I'm actually reporting on the 29th or 30th. My fiance and I are getting a hotel room and checking out P-cola for a couple of days. She is leaving in the morning on the 2nd. I was planning on just reporting to the BEQ and meeting some fellow poopies. I'd be more than happy to try...

"Gotta go, another tactical flight today, primary mission, make the NFOs puke in back... " John... Easy with the NFO cracks!!! I hear enough of that jazz from Frumby. ATP

I concur 100% w/ Brad... I had a great time! Thanks once again. I'll try and remember to keep the thought of P-3 "Per Diem" when I make my selections in the near future. ATP

I am starting to gather all my stuff for OCS and I was hoping to get a little insight on what I might be able to take... I have the standard list from my rec, but any other suggestions would be great. Are you guys taking running shoes or cross trainers? ATP

Mari... when, at what week, should you be pretty confident that you are gonna graduate? I mean when can you tell your family to make travel arrangmants for your graduation? ATP

Good luck!!! See you on June02 ATP

Dave... sorry to hear that your weren't picked up. That BIO section is purely subjective... no way to study for it. What are your plans now? ATP

It sounds like there are a few of us bringing extra bagage(just kidding) to P-cola with us. My fiance has been bugging me about what the job situation will be for her in P-cola. She has two degree's, but wants to go back and get a masters. She was hoping to geta teaching position at a HS or...

Frumby... what's DODS schools? ATP

Maybe having a crowded OCS is a good thing... hopefully it'll keep the DI busy ATP

Kyle, Have you made any travel plans for P-cola? I'm about 90% sure I'll be there on the 30th. I'm meeting a friend of mine in Tallahassee on the 26th and I'll probably stay there a couple of days and head to p-cola after that. I'll post my hotel info when I reserve one. Later ATP

I've been getting the same "run around" when I ask about ACES... I just hope and pray that I don't get NPQ'd while at OCS for aviation. Does anyone know what happens if you loose your slot? Do you get to pick something new, or do they send you home and make you do another application? ATP

I jump in there a couple of times a day, but no one is ever there but me... I think Derrill has a good idea. We should set up some chta-room hours. ATP

I talked with my rec again and he said the papers I got in the mail were wrong... and my OCS date is gonna be June2. ATP

Sorry about the first entry I was kinda quick with the "Enter" key. The lower altitude might help you... but its the humidity you'll have to worry about. ATP
