Thank you for replying. Would you USNR contract end the day you are just selected for BDCP? Or would it end a little bit later on when you take the oath? Also, would all this be the same if I was in the reserves or national guard of another service? Such as the Marine Corps Reserve or the...

At first I didn't think Aeronautical Science would be a technical major but then I saw the website that Thisguy is talking about and now I'm hoping that it is a technical major. When they say "aeronautics" are they refering to pretty much all aviation related majors? I know the name of the...

Hello: Through this website and others I've been able to gain a lot of helpful infomation about different ways to become a military officer. I know with different programs, you can apply at different times. If I was a college student wanting to become a military pilot, would I be able to...

Hello: I know most of the posts on this forum is about USNA or USMMA, but I was hoping someone could help me find the answer to a few of my questions. I e-mailed every admissions person from the MMA website, only one of them replied saying he would reply later (about a month ago), and he...

Hello: I've read on some of the old fourms about careers for NFOs in the civilian world but I was a little more interested about the airline careers. If I went to college and majored in aviation science wanting to get an SNA slot, but was only selected for SNFO, then serving in the Navy for...

cjettaf: Right now I was looking more at enlisting in the military first before going to college. I graduate high school in June 2005, so when I would start college classes around 2009. ERAU is one of my main choices. Dowling College, University of North Dakota and Jacksonville University are...

So basicly you can go into the Naval Reserve and drill at a USNR unit until you are selected for OCS. Then when you sign your contract with OCS you are released from your USNR contract right? And about the Army reservist, what do you mean about him being considered a break in service...

About the guy who was in the Naval Reserve. When did he go to OCS? Did he do after college? Also, when did he go to Navy boot camp? Thank you for replying.

Thank you all for replying. If I was applying for BDCP would Professional Aeronautics be considered a technical degree? Meaning I would be able to apply during my sophmore year? The Air Force officer recruiter I talked to said no, but it looks like on the website rabe0030 gave, that at...

Hello: I had a question about going from the Reserves to BDCP. Say before college I went into the Marine Corps Reserve and was attending drills at a USMCR unit near my college. Then during my sophmore year of college I applied and was selected for BDCP. Would my USMCR commitment end after...

Thank you all for replying. I had another question about technical majors. Say I was majoring in aviation science, but did not take calculus or physics, would it still be considered a technical major? Or if I majored in something like International Studies and took calculus and physics...

Thank you for replying. I wanted to major something like Aeronautical Science at ERAU. I know at different colleges the name of the major is different (Aviation Science, Professional Aeronautics, Commercial Aviation, ECT). Would all those aviation majors be considered technical majors in the...

Hello: I had a question about MECEP. I hanv't been able to find too much infomation about MECEP on the internet. Is MECEP just like the Marine Corps equivelent of the Navy's STA-21? Can you apply for a pilot slot in the USMC with MECEP and if accepted would have a guarenteed pilot slot...

Hello: I had a few more questions about PLC. When is the latest you can apply for PLC? Can you apply senior year? Is so I assume you would go to OCS, TBS and flight school all after graduation right? I've heard people trying to apply for a Marine Corps pilot slot threw OCS. When they...

Hello: I've heard a lot about the benefit of having a technical degree over a non-technical degree. I was just currious which majors are considered technical majors. I'm assuming all engineering majors are, but what others are there? Thank you for replying.

Thank you for replying. I'm actaully only a junior in high school. I was just trying to figure out the best way to try to get a SNA slot. I wasn't sure if I should start NROTC freshmen year of college, or if I should wait until my junior year to apply for BDCP. Junior year is the earliest...

Thank you for the infomation. When do apply for OCS, can you apply for only one or two designators? For example, could I just apply for SNA and SNFO? Can you apply for OCS during your junior year of college like BDCP? Is that the earliest time you can apply? Also, is this the same with...

I had a similar question. Say you apply for BDCP your junior year and toward the end of your junior year you find out you were not selected. You could just start NROTC at the begining of your senior year and make up all the classes right? When during your senior year would you apply for a pilot...

I had one more question. When is the earliest and lasted times you can apply?

Hello: I had some questions about OCS, I don't know very much about OCS so I'm sorry if these questions are stupid. 1. I know OCS is the actual training school you need to go through to be a Naval officer, but is OCS similar to BDCP where you apply during college for a SNA or SNFO slot...

Hello: I bought one of those practice test books by Arco for the ASTB. It seemed a lot easier than I thought it would be. Is the actual ASTB a lot like the practice Arco test (for anyone who has taken both)? If I did good on the practice test is it likley I would do well on the ASTB? Thank...

Hello: I just had a question for those of you who got a SNA or SNFO slot through BDCP. I was just wondering what your fall back plan was to become a SNA or SNFO if you were not accepted. Is OCS is the only other option? Thank you for replying.

Around how many F/A-18 squadrons are deployed on aircraft carriers (both Navy and Marine Corps)? Also, as of now, about how often do Marine Corps F/A-18 squadrons deploy onboard aircraft carriers? And can a pilot request to be deployed onboard an aircraft carrier? Or would the whole squadron...

bcgeib, just out of curriosity, what college did you go to and what was your major? Also, if you don't mind, could you give infomation about things like GPA, PRT, ASTB ect. I'm just trying to see what kind of a candidate the selection board is looking for. Thank you for replying.

Thank you for replying. I assume NROTC would be just as difficult right? Does NROTC offer more pilots slots than AFROTC? Thank you again for replying.

Thank you for replying. I just had another question. I've read on a few fourms that it is easier to ger a pilot slot through NROTC than AFROTC. I always thought it would be the other way around because the Air Force has more aircraft and hence a greater need for pilots. Do you know if that...

What did most people who were selected for SNAs major in? Thank you for replying.

Thank you for replying. So it took about 4 months to find out right? Do you know if this is normal amount of time it takes for a BDCP application to go threw? Also, which year of college did you apply? Thank you again for replying.

Thank you for replying. Would I also apply for pilot slots during my junior year at USMMA? If I wanted to apply for pilot slots in say the Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force, would I be able to do that all at the same time? From the time you applied to for SNA, how long did it take you to...

Thank you for clearing that up about the NROTC commitment. Would I be able to just take NROTC at a college with NROTC, even if the college I did go to didn't have a cross-town affiliation? Thank you again for replying.

I just had another question about PLC. When exactly is the earliest time you can apply for PLC? And about how long does it take for you to find out whether or not you were selected? Thank you for replying.

Thank you for replying. About how long does it take for you to find out whether or not you were selected for BDCP?

Hello: I had a few more questions about NROTC. If I'm not mistaken, during your junior year of college is when you sign a contract with the Navy and it is also when you would know whether or not you were selected for an SNA slot. If I was not selected for a SNA slot through NROTC, would...

Thank you for replying. I was told that with the Marine Corps PLC you can apply for it even if you are in the Marine Corps Reserve, then after you complete OCS the summer after you junior year you would be releasted from your USMCR contract. I was thinking BDCP might be the same be I could be...

Thank you for replying. Would a Marine Corps F/A-18 squadron onboard am aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean be bombing stratgic (factories, ect) targets in a country right along side Navy F/A-18 squadrons? Thank you again for replying.

Hello: I had some questions about the different roles of military aviation, specficly with the Navy and Marine Corps. As I understand it there are three types of bombing: stratgic, interdiction and close air support. My question is, do Navy aircraft do all three types of bombing? For...

Thank you for replying. This is another thing I'll still a little confused about. If you are accepted for BDCP do you immediately become part of the Naval Reserve as an E-3? When you are accepted for BDCP are there meetings or drills you have to attend before going to OCS? If I went into the...

Thank you for replying. Like I said before I'm a junior and this year I've been doing pretty good. However my first two years I did pretty bad and I always got in trouble. I play football, wrestle, and play lacrosse and I'm in Civil Air Patrol outside of school so extracurricular activities...

Thank you again for replying and for all the advice. USMC1371: I have a friend that is going to college and wants to go into either the USAR or the USMCR. Do you know if it is possible to take a year off from school after high school to go to boot camp and your MOS school, so you get it all...

Thank you for replying. I ment to ask if I could just apply for PLC and BDCP at the same time. I know I can't do both of them if I was accepted to each program. When applying for BDCP what do they look at when considering you? Do they look at your high school grades or just college grades...

Thank you for all the replies. 4thgen: I don't really belive in interservice rivalry so I really don't belive in labeling any branch of the military or any unit as the "best". Rangers are some of the most highly trained soldiers in the military and I'll try my best to become one. Like I said I...

Thank you for all the replies. About the Reserves, I've been told the same thing about the possibility of being activated during college. If I was actived for a year right after completing my first semester of college, then when I am done serving that year and return back to college can I just...

OK thank you for clearing that up. I've been looking at a lot of the websites people have talked about on here. Right now the people on this website are the only people I've been talking to. Thank you again for replying.

I had another question: If I attended USMMA would I be able to apply for pilot slots with USMC PLC and Navy BDCP?

Thank you for replying. Just to tell you a little bit about myself, right now I'm a 17 year old high school junior. I will most likley enlist in the Army for 4 years with the Ranger Contract and MOS 13F (Fire Support Specalist). Then I want to go to college and become a military pilot. Say I...

Thanks for all the replies. Taxman2a: For step two, would that be done during my sophmore year of college? Also when you say apply for OCS you are talking about PLC right? And after step 4 when I complete OCS, when I am sent back to my reserve unit I would be the same rank I was when I left...

Thank you for replying. If I just went to college after high school, but enlisted in the Naval Reserve, would I be able to apply for STA-21 while in college and doing NROTC (for my first and second years of college)? Thank you again for replying.

Thank you for replying. So when you apply for I applied for a SNA slot with BDCP and I am accepted then I'll be guarenteed a pilot after after college. And if I am not selected then nothing will happen and I won't have any kind of commitment with the Navy? If I applied for BDCP my sophmore...

Thank you for replying. If I only applied for SNA and wasn't selected, then would the Navy just select me for another job they need to be filled? If I wasnt selected for SNA and when into the Navy with a different job like SWO, would I eventually be able to apply for a SNA slot again later on...

Thanks for replying and for the advice. So when I apply for BDCP I can choose 3 jobs that I would want to do? So I could just pick SNA, SNFO and Intelligence and as long as I qualify chances are I'll get at least one of them? And if I get accepted for BDCP and SNA, will I be guarenteed a pilot...
