I just saw this one a few vids down. Was there some sort of miscommunication or was the man on the deck not paying attention? That looks like it hurt like hell.

Nah...A4s would KO Yoda in the second round

The math section of a SAT book will help out too. It doesnt really get much more complicated than that.

wiki is to knowledges as skeeterman is to war hero

the "bad guys" dont like the swine

I dont think that was meant as a burn...just that it doesnt matter which method you use.

As soon as possible. There is a lot of stuff you need to do before you can attend OCS (the PLC and OCC program both = OCS in case you didnt know). The process will take some time so get on it as soon as possible. I'm not sure on this one, but I would strongly reccommend just working with...

Outstanding

haha just playing. One of my co-workers at the bar that I bounce at uses the NOXplode stuff. I'm not sure if thats the same or not but he swears by that stuff. I've never tried it but have heard great things from him.

Just realized that you're applying Navy. I do believe its a similar process ("pro req final select" vs "contract and selection"). I'm sorta in the same boat. I contracted as SNFO so I could get my OCS slot. I passed the vision at MEPS some how. My flight physical at Pensacola - I was listed...

sounds like he has good fitness knowledges

you wont get a contract as pilot unless you meet all the requirements. You wont get a SNA contract based on you "most likely" meeting all the requirements. You can apply as a NFO contract just to try to get your slot for OCS and then try to change it to Pilot, but will actually have to do all...

I wouldnt exactly call it fun, but more so the most fun that I never want to have again.

Yes. Well, indirectly. I got called up to grab my mail. On my way back to my rack, the Plt Sgt happened to notice a piece of the back of my shirt being untucked. 300 words on military bearing and another 300 words on "why this candidate is ruining the platoon sergeant's beloved marine corps".

If they feel a picture or something other than a piece of paper or two, they will make you open it in front of them. If not in front of them, they will tell you to open it and bring whatever is in there up for them to see. You typically wont get in trouble for getting pictures.

When my foot and leg went snap week 6 I suddenly found myself wishing that I was in the 6 week program. Thank God I dont have to go back there though.

Nicely timed explosions with the music. Outstanding.

haha...that was the song of the summer operation phantom fury...great vid

I've learned to shut the fvck up more often over the last few years and I think that fact alone saved my ass at OCS :icon_tong

Doesnt it depend on slots available and needs instead of the top x% getting to do what they want?

During my flight physical dental portion, he took my pressure with this tiny ass cuff that hurt. the other docs took it about an hour later with a bigger one. The difference was about 20 points.

I definately would not want to jump in the Quigley in 18 degrees. I did 10 weeks in the summer with -192. I much prefer the heat than the cold. All you gotta do it drink water like you're supposed to. And as soon as you're done with the PT or event, its a lot easier to cool down than it is...

The intro to down with the sickness was played ad naseum in the "hey look at me i'm going to OCS video" that I had to watch with my parents the day before I shipped. Very annoying.

Theres some forms on the NOMI site that the eye doctor will need to fill out before and after your operation (I will post them in a few minutes when I find them). I would print these out and ask your civ doctor to look over it and make sure that hes going to disclose all info afterwards and be...

Its all about the cover and concealment. But since C/1 was the female platoon, we could just say that Alpha was put in front so that the females wouldnt be leading the run. But that would be chauvinistic of me so I wont say that.

I would talk to a recruiter ASAP. Theres certain pre-op requirements that the Navy wants to see, and also they want to see some info about the surgery afterwards. The Flight Doctor down in Pensacola told me that sometimes doctors dont like to release certain records... so I would just go talk...

He'd probably start using all those Chuck Norris can... jokes as a to-do list

Some big humongous GySgt kept trying to get one of the females to go in and get a high and tight during inprocessing. He walked away telling them they were all unmotivated trash.

Yeah we were way in the back too. Alpha 1-5 followed by Charlie 1-2 then my platoon. Major slinky effect. And us and 4th platoon got cut off by the damn train coming back. So we had to sprint over that bridge cursing it outloud as we passed.

and he was way too tired to lead the moto run for Alpha and Charlie company the next morning. Nice slow 9 min pace!

This used to be up on the ocs website. They have just changed the site and it isnt there anymore. Maybe someone who downloaded a copy before can get you one. Do you still have your binder with all the handouts? Just study over the basics of that and you should be fine. I remember looking at...

roatary/fixed wing

maybe he can shoot flowers and sunshine out of the 50 cal

Its not all dress blues and dining ins ya know... (sorry, had to)

1. I second the running shoes suggestion. Maybe a short boots run every now and then just to "remember" how to do it. 2. I helped out this one dude big time during the first week and he hooked me up with this extra stick of Body Glide. Stuff works wonders. Put that on the inside of your...

ahh...found the profile pic

Does this include the garbage burger (or whatever the proper name is)? That looked freaking disgusting. Did have 2 of the more normal ones though. Outstanding.

we had a candidate in my platoon get caught writing one in class too. Something to his girlfriend. Got ripped on about that from the staff for pretty much the whole time.

After writing multiple essays during your sleep time, there is absolutely no desire to write another 300 words. The letters will come when there is time.

Or you could be like Golf (I think it was) and get your libo pulled. I felt horrible for you guys! The mail system there is kinda wierd. It took about 2-3 days on average for my parents to receive a letter from me. It took about a week for me to get one from them on average. Sometimes...

Just a thought - for those of you grandfathered in, I would try to see if your OSO could contact NAMI to make certain that it still applies to you. It might save you from possibly getting a big surprise in the near future. I hope that everyone who got one gets to keep it. If not, keep doing...

Nobody loved you :-)

I believe he says it in the intro/opening song-and-dance thing each show Edit: I'm contributing to me hating this thread. Back to the F-18s and the Ospreys

I wont make comments about the guy, but its a cool show. Especially those late night repeats when nobody else is awake and the posting slows down on AW.

Not really sure. Just asked him out of curiosity about why they pulled it since one of the guys down there with me was trying to get one...he just pretty much told me what I wrote above. Again, just a bit of convo coming from one of the docs down there.

I asked the doctor why they pulled the SCL and his response was something like we got together last month and decided that those standards were put in place for a reason so we pulled it. Dont know why, but man its a fun journey!

Well, what the flight surgeons told me is that PRK is pretty much the only shot you have at this point when applying - if you're trying to switch from an NFO to Pilot contract. http://www.nomi.med.navy.mil/NAMI/WaiverGuideTopics/pdfs/Waiver%20Guide%20-%20Ophthalmology.pdf Page 23 at...

I was down in Pensacola in December for my flight physical. They said that they had just gotten rid of the SCL waiver. I dont know what bearing that has on people who are already winged, or people who already went through the program with the SCL waiver, but as far as...

We got our first mail on day 7. Pick up was day 4 I think.
