quote: Right now i run between 2.5 and 4 miles per day. I work at keeping a 7:30 pace for each run and maybe a 7:45 pace for 4+ miles. I lift 3-4 days per week and work on my pushups/situps about 3 times per week. Bein gin Buffalo, I'm hoping that the lower altitude in Florida will help me...

Okay... We can all be honest here. What are you doing to train for OCS? I just want to know how far below the curve I fall. I, run 2 miles a day, do push ups and sit ups before and after every run, and try to hit the pool for a few laps twice a week. DON'T laugh... Ok what are you guys...

I was thinking about getting to P-cola on the 30 or 31. I'm driving there with my fiance... its about 6 hours from where I am in Jacksonville, FL. Just keep me up to speed on your plans so we can all meet up. ATP

Sounds great to me... I would love to meet up with as many people as possible before clas starts. How early are you planning on going out there? Where are you going to stay? ATP Thought I would revive this topic. Anyone planning on going to P-Cola a couple days early or want to meet up...

I was at the Orange and Blue game too. Personally I wasn't to happy with either QB... what do you think? Berlin loked better, but Grossman has some real game experience... I'm gonna miss the game trips to the Swamp this year. ATP

Sr Chief Louvat is my rec too. My finger is still a question... I really want to try and get into the ACES program before OCS... that way I'll know if I can pass the flight physical or not. I'm sloted for the June 2nd class. I'm sure you'll be hearing something soon about your app. I really...

I'm in Jax too, who's your rec? It shouldn't take too long to hear back on your app. Mine took about 2 weeks, but I'm going in NFO. Your test scores seem competitive so I really wouldn't worry. ATP

It could be the 16th I'll check it again, but I'm pretty sure it said the 6th... I tried to get a trip to ACES but my rec told me that they weren't scheduling any new trips any time soon... does any body know about this? ATP

It seems that anthing that would NPQ you for commission should have been picked up at your MEPS exam way before OCS... ATP

Ed... mine was changed too, from 02JUNE01 to 06JUNE01. Which appears to be a wednesday? I didn't know they startes classes on a wednesday... oh well. ATP

I don't know if you'll get this but... GOOD LUCK!!! I'm off to OCS tomorrow morning!!! See y'all in 13 weeks or so.

Yes all Aviation Candidates can go to ACES. NPQ's are different. If you're totally NPQ for the Navy, you go home. This happened to one guy I came in with. How could he have passed the MEPS exam and then get NPQ'd from everything later? ATP

[Instead of wearing Khakis, we wear big poopie green suits and what looks like a frying pan for a helped. The smell, and appearence of thoes first week OCSers was a treat. Can't wait for the poopie greens! ed quote] Can't wait!!! ATP

What happens at OCS if you are an SNA/SNFO and you get NPQ'd during poopie week? Can you change to SWO etc. ? or are you dropped completely? and what is poopie week? ATP Thomas- Have you gone or are you going to ACES? If not, I'd suggest you do that cause that way you can have your flight...

What is "poopie" week? Honor Class 13-01 got to wear civvies on liberty, because we were an Honor Class. Anyways, bring as little as possible. You won't need many extraneous items the first week of training, and you will be allowed a run to the Navy Exchange on the sunday after poopie week. For...

[I don't think so. My rec. told me that even when we are given the chance to go off base we have to wear our uniforms... but then again he could be wong ATP] Can anyone tell me if there will be a time in the 3 months that we will be able to wear civilian clothes? I'm just trying to get an...

Does any one know (roughly) how tall you can be and still qualify for jets? I know it has alot to do with a few diferent measurements, but just an educated gues would be helpful... Thanx... June02 OCS!!! ATP

The next thing you know we'll have to pay for our own hair cuts!! ATP

I was just thinking about paying my monthly bills and... does anyone know how much we should expect to be making our first year or two? Including salary and other payments?? ATP

I have the "navy-type" blanket on my list too, I'm gonna call my recruiter today and ask him. I'll post his answer as soon as I get it.

You just might have me beat there Falcancer... Is it me, or is it REALLY HARD to do actual work at your job when you know your out of here soon? I'd be all for meeting up a couple of days ahead of class in P-cola somewhere... then we could go in together. I've heard that activiites start...

Actually I never really had a nick-name to speak of... a lot of my faternity brother use to call me "house-of-payne", but nothing much besides that. Although my fiance calls me jesus christ a lot... as in jesus christ i can't believe you said that, or jesus christ what the hell were you...

I've been skimming throuigh most of the forums and seen that a good number of us have June2 dates... So I thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves. I'm Ashley Thomas Payne, 25 and a recent graduate of the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, FL. Not matter how bad you...

I hope your right! I don't hit OCS until June2, so I'm hoping to get a ride to P-cola for ACES before then. At least I'll know where I stand after that. unfUSN

I was hoping that you could answer a pretty significant question for me? I've got a NFO slot in the June02 OCS class, but I have a question. I pased my MEPS exam, but I did have to get a waiver because I broke my finger about a year ago and I don't have complete function of it. I can't close my...

You seem to have a good understanding of the ACES medical stuuf. I've got an NFO slot in the June 2nd OCS class but, I have a question. I pased my MEPS exam, but I did have to get a waiver because I broke my finger about a year ago and I don't have complete function of it. I can't close my hand...

You seem to have a good understanding of the medical stuuf in teh Navy... I've got a NFO slot in June but, I have a question. I pased my MEPS exam, but I did have to get a waiver because I broke my finger about a year ago and I don't have complete function of it. I can't close my hand into a...

I just got my NFO slot and OCS date for June 2nd. I guess I'll see ya there! I just asked this question in another post...I am scheduled for OCS on 02Jun and will probably make a trip for ACES in May as well. Let me know when you are going down. I need to speak with my recruiter this week...
