I heard about the site from someone at USNA. Long story. Anyway, great site and if I get into OCS as SNA then I owe it to all the great info I found here!

I sent my package last week and it worked the same way. I've heard from someone else on the forum that after you get selected/rejected, you have one month to do PRT, MEPS exam, copy of birth certificate, and extended security form (assuming you get selected of course.) As far as people appying...

I'm definetely not sure about this, but for some reason I was thinking that help for college costs is only available if you enlist. That's why there's BDCP for OCS hopefuls. Does anyone know if I'm on the right page?

I just sent in my package this week - my recruiter didn't mention a one month timeline after professional recommendation to finish the rest (prt, meps exam, epsq.) Is the one month time limit you posted something you're sure about? It matters because I have braces (which really sucks while...

Referral? Who do you need a referral from and who does the referral go to? Maybe I should already know this, but I am totally clueless as to what you're talking about. thanks

Would you mind sending me the info on form 2 as well? I took form 1 a while back and need a retest. Thanks, BEN

Grading is a complicated thing... I'll try to clear it up as much as I can. Your correct answers for each section are multiplied by different weights and then added together for the different ratings: AQR (don't remember what it stands for) PFAR (pilot flight aptitude rating) FOFAR (flight...

kind of an old topic... but i got the go-ahead to send my package up so looks like apps are NOT on hold.

yes, jason12, that is the stupid monkey question they asked me. any tips for the other form of the test? thanks

I do not have the words to express how I felt after hearing this radio broadcast. All I can say is that everyone on this site should listen, and then they should send the link to every person they know. The guy in this audio clip is the reason we're in Iraq. I really cannot explain to you...

i'm taking the test again next week. the first form i took had a question about a monkey on a pulley - don't remember the form but i remember a lot about the test. i think it was form 1 so i'd like some inside info on form 2 as well. thanks

I'm no expert and definitely have NO firsthand knowledge here. That said, I think Marines run in boots at OCS or TBS or whatever it is they have. I think Navy is running shoes only. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

ghost: baylor i guess? i didn't even know they have a ROTC program, also didn't know you could do it in grad school. good luck - i'm learning exactly how much patience it takes... ben

ghost - what are you doing in waco? my hometown, just curious. i need any info on local opportunities i can get. thanks, ben

The following speech is very timely and definitely worth reading and sharing. It takes a while to finish, but I don't think you'll mind giving it your attention after you've read it. Also included are some prefacing remarks from a couple of people in the line who passed it on to me. --bcgeib...

Yeah, I bet lots of guys on the boat are becoming friends with her.

These have all been great replies. Anyone have any insight specific to life on a carrier?

NICE

THANK YOU STEPHANIE!

I need a government issued birth certificate to finish my package. How and where can I get one? THANKS

I was wondering the same things.

I'm a rookie, please explain RAG. Two things: What is a COD pilot? Also, please explain how the extra money works. How does the bonus work? What is the pay bonus for aviation duty? Not that it would make a difference in whether I apply or not. Just curious. By platform do you mean...

thanks for the great replies everyone. i'll be back with more questions soon, and i'm sure others will too. ben

Yes, looks like there are lots of people who are looking for some answers. Hopefully we'll get some soon. BEN

jrklr, I'm probably the one you referred to who said that apps may not be looked at for 6 months or so. LCDR Geers wrote that he expects things to pick back up much faster than that. Check out the post "BDCP aviation spots in 2004 and 2005." It's under the BDCP folder. LCDR replied to my...

Will do - haven't really got anything yet except for a hello from a former Texas Aggie. I'm really hoping to get some good info from this post.

isc8672 - check your PM

Need some help/opinions here... this is a long post so beware. A little background info on me- College junior, Texas A&M University. GPA 3.4 in Finance. ASTB scores AQR 7, PFAR 6, FOFAR 5, OAR 57. Retesting soon because I was told I need a PFAR 7 and FOFAR 6 to be competitive. Want a spot...

hey man i'm with you. we can't all know everything without asking questions. don't let it get to you.

The movie I'm thinking of is called "Fire Birds," with Nicolas Cage and Tommy Lee Jones. About the Army's Apache helicopter. Go here to read a review: http://www.tvguide.com/Movies/database/ShowMovie.asp?MI=34093 If this isn't it then I have no clue how to help.

rhightower, Assuming that my recruiter has accurate information, all aviation selections are temporarily closed. No one that I've talked to seems to know when selections will open back up. You might check with your recruiter and see if you can get this information verified. The way I...

What communities did you apply for? Based on what my recruiter tells me, that can make a difference.

I know that there's lots of opinions out there on version 1 versus version 2. Anyone have anything concrete about version 2? I took #1 earlier this month and bombed spatial apperception... only got about half right and ran short on time or would not need a retest. Anyway, if yall have any...

You sure about that August date? Does that mean all trying for FY '04 or '05 won't get news till then? No one I've talked to seems to know when aviation slots will open up again - seeing as they're currently frozen. Just wondering where you got your info. Thanks.

I took the test a week or two ago, and to make the story short, I need a retest. I did well on everything except the spatial apperception portion. My score would have been pretty competitive if I could have done better on this part. I can do the practice in the ARCO book and get all of the...

geerst- thanks for the advice. my recruiter just had me scared that selections would not re-open for a long time. glad to hear that is not the case. as for retesting, i think i can improve and will keep on trying until i do.

Hey yall, after taking the ASTB this week I learned that entrance into BDCP (aviation) for fiscal year 2004 is temporarily closed. They have to see how many slots have already been given out and how many still remain, or something to that effect. Does anyone know whether this applies to fiscal...

I'm no expert and haven't got the experience that some of the other members do, but I think you can take the ATSB again. If my understanding is correct, you can take the test a second time 32 days after your first attempt. You must wait 6 months after your second try before you can go for a...

Thanks for the replies - I know I'll need all the help I can get. --Ben

Hey everyone, I'm new to this site and need some help. I'm trying to get into the BDCP program but haven't started putting my package together yet. I still have to take the ASTB and want to do well. I have the ARCO "Military Flight Aptitude Tests" study guide as well as "Officer Candidate...
