I was called by the AMDO community manager back when I applied to OCS last year. They usaully call people they are interested in. They are a very small community and difficult to get in too. So if they call you then that is good. BTW, I didn't get selected. Anyway good luck to you Chief.

what is AGP? I just reenlisted in the reserves. But never heard of that or BRIT.

hey congrats AOconner. That is awesome. man what a long wait huh? I hope I get picked up the 2nd time around. In the meantime I'll continue smoking cigars anyway. p.s. Cognac is much better for cigars than the overated "Single Malts" lol. I smoke Punch and Hoyo EMS Double Maduro.

Hey guys. I would like to know some of you prior enlisted guys and others opinions about re-upping in the Navy. I got out in 99' and was an AD3. I applied for OCS last July and got rejected in Oct. I am re applying in April for OCS for a AMDO, Supply, or NFO slot, but I am seriously thinking...

very funny

its got to be accredited by one of the regions in the U.S. otherwise if you have a "foreign" degree then you just get it validated. Phoenix is accredited. I don't think school name matters much. Maybe Havard will or other Ivy leagues.

well if you studied real hard before the test then I think you should keep the scores. If you didn't study much then you might want to retake it after studying more. I think those scores are good, but lately its been hell to get in with scores that are much higher

furthermore, if you happen to be part of the officers wives club, don't go consoling victims (male or female) by telling them that "he/she's husband was not worth it anyway" or "you're better off without them" "he was gonna cheat anyway" these statements may or may not be true, but for a person...

hmm, I guess my post has been met with some distaste. relax solenita, I am not giving excuses (merely, the circumstances in which cheating proliferates) and the video thing was a joke. I do not study these things, but I have noticed that when you have guys and girls real close together the...

what's with the smoke? exhaust? lol

happens all the time Pat. both ways.. you'll certainly see that when you get out in the fleet. There is an unwritten rule about not paying attention to this kind of thing. (personally I could give a flying f**k about who does who) Certainly, it is not good for morale, but for the most part it...

Hey man. Well my outlook is too start applying to other programs too. I am still shooting for SWO. And I will apply again March or April. I am also looking at some federal internship programs. I really want to go back in the Navy though. I was real upset with the rejection letter saying that I...

That's nice to hear GatorDev. I like sleeping too. But I also want to be a SWO. So sorta a conflict there huh. I still remember the words of my CC (di) "I going to make you cherish your rack" lol. Anyway I hear you on the SWO selections and that is what I thought too but, what I don't get is...

well said. good luck at ocs and swos

right now you need to score at least 6 or 7 on the PFAR FOFAR AND above 55 on the OAR. The Marine study guide is good to go. Also look in the library for us government mechanical comprehension test book. then get in shape and do at least 65 PUs 80 pus and 10:30 on the run. whats the decent GPA...

c'mon these guys are the backbone of the fleet. and its harder to get SWO than aviation slots right now. Why would you study humanities and want to be a Surface warfare officer anyway? Anyhow its like what the others said. Go for it and Apply.

its all somebody else's fault right? stuff like this reminds me of the old Kernel [:D] err colonel on American Beauty "when he says this country is is going to s h i t" we should stop assigning blame to one group for all our woes. The liberals aren't to blame for everything. conversly if...

AMDO's a great community. However, it is very very difficult to get into. Do you have an A&P license or experience with aircraft maintenance? Those two things will help you to get selected for AMDO. I don't know why grandmaster says go AMDO over NFO though. I mean they are both good jobs. man...

hmm i read on the internet that its about 17:1. If you remember back a few years there was an Air Transat A330-200 that completely ran out of useable gas and was able to land some 115 miles away at an AFB in the Azores. it glided for 20 min, but it busted all its tires when it landed.you can...

if you aren't willing to be a NFO, SWO, AMDO, or Supply... etc etc, don't put those. If you only want SNA then just put that. Oh and another thought. When you put preferences down they are supposed to look at them individually but, they can see which ones are your preferences. In other...

dude they have mechanical comphrehesion book that focus on the Mech comp type tests. I think the book is called Government mechanical comp tests. I bowwored one from the library. man the wait is killing me

hey patmack how is hartman dealing with the shin splints? do they roll you for getting them? man the wait is killing me

thanks sonnyb. I'm real glad you got supply officer though. Somebody needs to get selected around here. OR maybe the board is catching on to us and reading our posts? hmmm no more - stuff guys. ;) man the wait is killing me

no waivers marti. its only waiverable if you get a 1599 and 1/2. if you lost the 1/2 point cause you miss-spelled your name then you're screwed. man the wait is killing me

hey gsavy, I don't know about Aviation slots in the corp. But, I was told by the Oso's that ground slots are filled. Sorta like SWO for the Navy. I hear that they have aviation slots though. DDriver, the only advice I have is to get all A's in school. One C or F can really go a long way in...

I recieved this message traffic from the top......but seriously guys I am still motivated to go Navy but, I'm thinking the climate isn't ripe for me to get selected. I'm applying again in six months but I am also going to call the USCG.... for assistance. I called the Marines but they have no...

hey gsavy didn't you have a 58 OAR? I mean who the hell does the Navy want now? man all these rejections are disapointing. man the wait is killing me

great. now all me and adrenaline have to do is get selected. [:D] man the wait is killing me

Hey man, nobody is trying to say you're not cut out to be a marine. The point you're missing is that "being a Marine" is not just some lofty notion and that you saying "I'll be a Marine in the air" is sorta missing the point as well. You'll be a Marine Officer first and foremost. And every...

thanks man. good luck to you. Its good to see all the dedicated people we have on here. man the wait is killing me

you came in 96 huh? me too. except I was enlisted. I know what you mean about SWO. When I was in I always heard that they always needed people but, now it seems like you have to be an Eagle Scout and President of the Class to even get considered (not to mention perfect scores on the test). Man...

yeah rhollin that's what paul has been doing. But. believe me if they say we're not giving you a slot them there isn't much he can do anymore. man the wait is killing me

I think the OAR score + the lack of billets killed me. or maybe it was just the OAR. Unfortunatley I never took higher than algebra 1 in high school. so when the trig and equations came up I didn't have a clue as to what they meant. However, now I'm working on that. I will retake the ATSB soon...

Oh well I got the blah blah blah letter. I applied on the 26th of August and found out today. I was applying for SWO, Supply or AMDO. I had a 3.4 GPA in Aeronautics, 43 OAR (killed me) prior navy AD3, 67 PU, 82 SU, 11:45 run. anyhow I have to apply again. I am going to get in no matter what...

sorry to hear that Mike Webb. But, hey remember that they are only rejecting your application not you. So reapply and show them that this is what you want to do. I am going to reapply when I get rejected. which should be soon cause I applied 2 months and 3 days ago. keep applying man you'll get...

hey mike26 Pro Aero is a technical degree. Its not an engineering degree but, its technical. I am also a Pro Aero guy. man the wait is killing me

and you can use that money for flight training too. The money is sent to you via direct deposit. but you have to be enrolled in a VA approved school or technical program to get it. man the wait is killing me

yeah and its not 20k right now either. I am using my GI Bill and you get 36 months of entitlement. which is paid at the rate for that fiscal year. right now its 900.00 dollars a month for a full time student. which means 32,400 dollars. it usually rises about 100.00 a month. when I started using...

hey guys just for fyi. NON-PO means not a Petty officer yet. E-1 thru E3. also they most definitely would issue a red sticker, if they even issued you one at all. yes you do pay taxes. you see the BDCP isn't a real scholarship, its more like they put you on the payroll as an E3. now you don't...
