seriously, at least post the pic in the thread...throw us a bone here!

The Navy breaks their officers into three categories: Unrestricted Line Officers, Restricted Line Officers, and Staff Corps officers. Generally, Line Officers carry out the mission of the Navy: Sea Power (If anyone recites the gouge from OCS, you're a homo). This applies to both the...

Hate your designator? Deadline is March 31st. Interesting note: I haven't seen Aviation on the LOI the last few years, and they've typically had only 1-3 spots per board for NFO and Pilot (each). Maybe there's a handful more this time around...

If you mean a lawyer for the Navy in the JAG corps, then USNA probably isn't the best option. If you go to USNA and don't get a pilot slot, you probably won't get the chance to go to law school and be a JAG. In case you really, really, really like to plan ahead: www.jag.navy.mil

FYI - FSU chicks are in this month's Maxim. What was this thread about again?

You'd be surprised. My sophomore year college roommate was 5'7" 155, and was a middle linebacker in high school. Needless to say, his team sucked pretty bad. Even funnier was seeing a 5'7" 155 pound guy think he could kick anyones ass just because he played football in high school.

For starters, you don't get "jet pilot" out of any commissioning source, just pilot.

Congrats. Coming from Active Duty? When's your OCS date?

Medical NPQ and getting attrited are two different things. I'm talking about not being able to attrite someone based on sh!tty performance. You have to do something really stupid like get a DUI or look at porn on the CMC's computer to get attrited.

Personally, I think that happened a while ago (I went through in 2002). The fact that it's nearly impossible to be attrited from OCS means that anybody who wipes their ass right can get through.

I made them up. No, really, I got them from the message announcing which officers were selected for lateral transfer. http://www.npc.navy.mil/NR/rdonlyres/3DE045F5-4CD4-48E5-964A-42AF67516DA5/0/NAV05304.txt I don't know if these numbers are typical, because end strength needs are...

Three weeks may seem like "not enough" but keep in mind, the DI kinda disappeared after week 7 under the old format...which was drill comp. Now that he doesn't need to teach rifle drill (which took up a lot of time), he can concentrate on mashing the sh!t out of you. For any "old timers"...

Last I heard, OCS was now 12 weeks, and Candio phase lasts 3 weeks, vice 2, is that still the case?

Does the Navy's Graduate Education Voucher cover that?

Point taken. I just thought it was sad they ran 60% less because too many people were getting injured. Also, in my original post, people would fail the IN PRT which for a male 20-24 is: 37 pushups, 42 curlups, and a 13:00 1.5 mile run (I think). That is the minimum standard...

That's their own fvcking fault. Seriously, where do these guys (and girls) think they're going? Summer camp? The recruiters need to beat it into their head that they need to show up in shape. Anyone who has been to OCS and seen people roll at the in-prt or get shin splints from running...

So you're saying that there are Officers who have been to Nuclear Power School, prototype, sub school, and on top of that the Basic Diviing Officer's course? I never heard the pitch for subs that there's a diving option.

Do you mean fast attack subs? If so, yes, I've heard of that (in fact, there's someone on this board who was prior deep sea who did just that), but those are spec ops divers, not submariners. They're just along for the ride.

EOD guys go after commissioning, and I know CEC has some dive billets as well. Bottom line: I don't think subs has any dive billets, so there's no way the sub detailer is going to hook you up with that.

Another part of the army's problem is that their numbers are far greater than the Navy's. I know on the Officer side the Navy commissions roughly 3,000 a year, whereas the army commissions something crazy like 12,000 a year. The problem is two-fold I guess. They have the most slots to fill...

The fact that you like Notre Dame football should inspire all Penn Staters to not answer :) See you Sept 9th

Wow. Did not know that. That's pretty cool I guess!

***THREADJACK*** If you guys are ever in Vegas, check out Cheetah's. I've...uh...*ahem* heard it's a good time. ***END THREADJACK***

Short answer is: yes. The maximum age for commissioning is 35 (less for some designators). With all the paperwork and the process, the prospects of you getting to OCS and finishing before turning 36 is slim.

I'm not sure how much you've looked into it, but this is for the paperwork you'll need to do... http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/r614_120.pdf http://buperscd.technology.navy.mil/...s/1300-080.htm (scroll down half way on the second link for, part 2, transfer into the navy)

That's odd. I've never heard that far-sighted PRK had a less chance of success. I'd go in for a consult and hear it from an optometrist that does the procedure rather than an OSO.

Here's an email I received regarding full-time status: Thank you for your interest in the W. P. Carey MBA at Arizona State University. We do accept the GI Bill and have several active duty service personnel in our Online Program. Students are registered for 12 credit hours in each...

That shouldn't be that much of an issue...they still waive up to 4 years of age for prior service, right?

Seeing as how TA only pays $250 per credit with a max of 12 credits a year, that's a whole lot of out of pocket expense. Are you saying that active duty can't draw the full $1034/mo that the GI Bill currently pays?

Steve, What's the current going rate for tuition assistance? The program I'm interested in is six 4-credit courses a year, for 2 years, with each class lasting for six weeks.

Since I'm in a hellhole known as China Lake and I've got every other Friday off, I figured I had some time on my hands. I was kicking around the idea of getting an online MBA, and was wondering if anybody has used the GI Bill while on active duty for something of this nature. Specifically, I...

You're gonna miss more than that :) Seriously...eat like a king the next few days.

That varies. You're not gonna just put "supply officer" on your resume, you'll list bullets and be prepared to elaborate during the job interview (yes, you'll have to interview, you can't just whip your cock out on the table and say "I was in the supply corps baby, give me some sugar). For...

Tell 'em if you join the military, you won't be liviing in thier basement after you graduate. Hook, line, and sinker. Try to explain to them that you want to find a job you'll truly enjoy, and that getting paid to do it is icing on the cake. In the words of Office Space: "Man wasn't...

I'd like to dispel the myth that an MBA (whether your experience is in the military or the civil sector) automatically puts you in the running for a six figure income. Top companies who dole out this kind of cash typically recruit at top buisness schools (Harvard, Penn, Northwestern...

Uh...that might not be the best idea.

Depends on where you go to school. While it may not be an engineering major in the practical sense, most schools offer it through the college of engineering. It was in our college of engineering until I graduated and we had a new college of Information Sciences and Technology, where it's a...

That's good timing. The one good thing about NUPOC, is that it happens pretty fast. I had already graduated, and submitted my stuff for screening in January 2002, went to MEPS to get poked and prodded, then I was notified sometime in February that I had screened for the March Interviews (they...

It also didn't help Microsoft's...er...the Seahawks cause that the backjudge was standing RIGHT THERE.

The refs calls are always more glaring when you lose, but they're rarely the sole reason for a loss. Seattle had plenty of chances to win this game...I mean, the Steelers didn't have a first down in the first quarter. How do you have a guy like Alexander rush for a record 28 TDs in the...

What about Willie Parker's 75-yard TD run?

Huh...sounds like my average Friday.
