That's an amazing score. Anyone with a higher OAR would have to be a god among men.

I used DD370s for every reference.

VFC-12 has some badass looking planes.

Damn that's a lot of negative rep... the rep description made me laugh pretty hard though. Rock on! :pirate_12

You need good low. Get pushing! You don't need the PRT for pro rec. Only for final select. Or at least I didn't do my PRT until between those two things. Best of luck!

Great scores. Your GPA is low, as was mine. Luckily for you (and me) they look at the whole person, as you'll see all over this site. If your heart is set on pilot, put SNA and SNA only. I put SNA 1st and SNFO 2nd (no 3rd choice on my app). I was going to let the Navy choose which they wanted...

Nice work. You're not a 2010 grad are you?

I know. I'm just curious. Thanks Sketch.

So uh, I'm sick of the Navy. I want out. How do I do this? Just kidding :icon_glas I was reading my paperwork and I noticed this gem. I don't get it. SNAs, Intel, Supply, SWO, etc. can't but NFOs can? My orders have me with the SNA designator so I don't think it's a typo. edit: I had a...

Really? I've flown out of there at least 7 times and only once was I held up by security, normally I wait like 5-15 minutes to go through. Again, just my experience. Maybe I'm lucky :icon_smil edit: Why is my sunglasses smiley a devil? edit: AJB aren't you also the guy who pointed out that...

I don't know anyone who thinks that all of the security at airports is worthwhile. And you guys (generally smart and knowledgeable people) don't seem to think so. So why is it that way? And will it ever change? Also, I've always found the TSA people at PHX to be professional. I remember...

Too soon! :icon_glas

Looks like they need to replace that johnson rod.

Yep, it was an old computer and it lagged. IMO the time you're given is adequate even with some lag...

Then perhaps, in a way, a statute of limitations has been reached? Can't try him in a military court... then maybe it should just be too late. I don't know. It's just that taking a veteran who risked his life for this country and taking away his job and the life he built for himself years...

That was amazing, I was laughing so hard "Ok you won.."

I want to say that only SNA/NFO/Intel take the part of the ASTB with all the aviation stuff on it. But I could be wrong.

Awesome, thanks. I might make use of this at some point.

Correction, the highest you've heard of now is a 69.

I started in March sometime and swore in recently. Your mileage may vary. It depends on way too many factors. As far as the taking quarters off stuff goes, that might be a problem. You're supposed to be a full time student and it's key that you graduate on time. Hopefully one of the people with...

Navy.com should give you a number for an officer as well as enlisted recruiter if you click the "Find a recruiter" link. At least it does for my zip code. If that doesn't work, try finding the nearest NRD's website and they should have contact info. You can click the drop down menu on the left...

Gotta love AW... this entire thread is great.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who thought that when I read the title.

How would that change, if at all, if they had already put money into you as a BDCP person? Like say you went NPQ after OCS. Anyway, sounds like just one more reason not to f*ck anything up...

Hey, at least if he's got 2 lbs of meth he's got some money going :icon_glas

Good luck man. You're looking good. I'm sure you'll nail that run. Good luck to everyone.

No family of mine or people I know have been anything but supportive and encouraging of my decision to join the military, and a lot of my family / friends are Democrats. Just my experience..

To be fair, Bad Religion is a pretty good band despite their retarded lyrics :D That video was very powerful, m0t. I just hope guys like that Marine realize that 99% of us appreciate what he's done and what he's given for this country.

I didn't have official copies of my SAT scores. But if your recruiter wanted you to do it, you made the right choice. $40 is a drop in the bucket compared to BDCP pay. AFAIK, you're applying only for BDCP, not for a straight shot to OCS. But I applied too far out for straight to OCS, so I don't...

I was given copies without asking. And yeah, it's important to have for a bunch of reasons. If they don't offer anything, I'd ask.

I pretty much skimmed and signed there, but I don't see why there would be a problem with making sure you know what you're getting into. When I was there they explained what each form was before I signed it, so you may not feel the need. If I were enlisting as an E-1 as opposed to BDCP, I would...

E-5? Dean's List and you suckered someone else into BDCP?

Hey, someone who beat me on the ASTB! Well, except for the OAR... :icon_tong We can make a pact to both tell our DIs at OCS the first time we meet them about our ASTB scores. I hear they'll make life much better for you if you do.

My package went in for the June boards, but my recruiter originally wanted to send it in for April and things just took a while. I graduate in May 2010. So, what my recruiter said mirrors what yours said. The process takes a while, so getting the pro-rec early would be good.

+1, awesome. I'm going to copy and paste that and "forward" it in an email.

I'd say that pretty much anything you read on the internet from anywhere but reputable sources should also be considered false until proven otherwise.

I now know that your waiting game has only just begun... and it only gets worse from there.

Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but I wonder if this guy's IP matches that other account... Family tried to dissuade me too. You don't see me posting incoherent blocks of text and lashing out at the very people I hope to someday become.

Dude's got to be a troll. Let's not be troll-enablers :icon_tong

Mandatory scarves vs. voluntary LOLcats... hmmm...

As an uninformed civilian (until next week, at least, at which point I'll just be uninformed)... Why shouldn't the intel community have a pin? SWOs, aviation, supply, etc. all seem to have insignia. Just wondering, and yes I realize this is probably a retarded question since you all really...

That's the great thing about push ups and sit ups. You can do them any time, anywhere. During commercial breaks. Cooking breakfast/dinner. Between posts on AW :D

I dual boot, like Nittany does. Personally I have Vista and Ubuntu. When I was filling out all my Navy application stuff I found myself using Windows a lot. I had to use Internet Explorer for the security clearance and didn't trust OpenOffice (the open source, Linux-friendly version of MS...

I'll echo for the fifth time support of Thunderbird. All of my email accounts are done through gmail now, but when I had a non-gmail account I used Thunderbird and it was great.

Full at my school is 12.

I'm guessing you're not a full-time student if 12 hours is considered loading up... Anyway, you have to be full-time. This does not mean you have to take summer classes (or at least, I didn't put any summer on my ADCP and I'm swearing in next week). On the plus side (I checked your profile)...

What part of it are you not doing well on? Most of the stuff on there isn't hard to get, although I personally had the most trouble with push ups (given the short time frame I had to prepare, I ended up doing a few hundred every other day).
