Add 14 weeks from the start date. Thanksgiving doesn't impact your commission date. Rather it just shortens the weeks. Last year our class had to do Nav, NOS and ORLP in 9 days (including weekends) vs 2 weeks. We had a lot of test failures due to that.

Wanna go home. You have to take leave. Uncle Sam doesn't pay for you to come home. It's out of your pocket. If you don't want to go home then you stay in King Hall for two weeks. It all depends on where you are in training on whether you should go home or not. For me personally I went home for a...

You got Pro-N twice already?

I had a little bit of fun at OCS. You get out of it what you put into it. Sure we got yelled at but after class team left we all had some good laughs. The first few weeks aren't fun but once you start to get a little freedom it gets better. We definitely had fun in the chow hall during dinner...

Man you need to calm down. Unless you have done a lot of illegal crap and got caught or you flat out dont pay your bills. Secret only requires a computer background check.

You basically have to be an idiot to not get a secret.

You get BAS but then it gets taken out as you eat at the chow hall. That isn't free.

Sucks man. All you can do is put in a kit and see what happens.

Ya but if anything happens on the bridge good luck getting to Whiting on time.

Go Seahawks!

Just relax and do what your told.

Damn...good luck.

Go talk to a Marine OSO.

Ya that really doesn't matter though.

Touch up or get on your face.

Make sure you want to be a Marine. After OCS you have six months of TBS before coming to Pensacola. Also during flight school they get one shot (i.e. Fail one exam and they could be done). That happens your going to be redes'd to the ground.

Nothing is official until you have a final select and orders to OCS.

Minus the PCS move you and your family sound like the perfect family. You have very young kids, she is young could be the perfect dog for your kids to grow up with. Sorry to hear about your boxer, my wife and I have a 2 year old boxer she is the most perfect/frustrating dog in the world lol...

That's awesome. I graduated from WSU.

It really isn't that bad.

You talking about with the Navy? No. You get 30 days of leave a year. If something happens and you attrite from OCS/Flight you go to a redes board and if not selected (80% don't) you are out of the Navy.

I would say your oar is on the lower side. But you also have to have some sort of change in your application to reapply without waiting the 6 months. Usually ASTB and GPA are what an applicant can change.

Yes. If you do worse you have to wait the 6 months I believe and use your worst scores.

Lol you don't need a security clearance before OCS. Nothing there is classified and why would they give you a clearance for basic training and individuals may DOR?

Yes you get direct deposit. Doesn't mean they won't make mistakes. My first month at OCS I didn't receive BAH had to go into PSD and redo paperwork. They see about 100 new people every three weeks mistakes happen.

He has to wait 6 months to reapply without any change.

Needs of the Navy. Besides selection for Aviation is usually pretty competitive except the last year where they were selecting higher than normal. The trend was bound to end.

Was bound to happen. Last July's board was about 40-50% since then they have had high selection rates.

???

Need original copies.

Just take her passport, social and birth certificate. That is what I did as she had no reason for her passport while I was gone.

Moboards is NOS and charting is Nav.

Why? Some would rather know than...I won't lie though it's about time.

Or when they tell you. Doesn't matter if before or after winging...not qualified=not qualified.

Are you in API? Do you even know what your follow on orders will be?

You can't do that. I dare you to be the one cheering/rooting your classmate on during PT. You'll only bring them more hell.

Don't wish that on anyone...I'm still disappointed in your run as will your DI.

Well that blows.

You were still in college. You hadn't received you degree yet. You can't compare with most people applying that already are completely qualified (i.e. graduated college).

Unless you are married and have pcs orders. Move in the middle so you have easy access to both areas.

Best response to any Ensign in the Navy.

Yep. A lot of people get out of shape fast post OCS. Also OCS in general doesn't get you in amazing shape to start with. Also if you fail a test or go to a board during API and they see you failed the PFA they are going to take you less seriously.

*add 45 sec to 1 min.

At OCS you shouldn't have a problem. There is also SNFO. Once commissioned not as easy.

That a question or statement? If your a good runner you'll be fine not a good runner it will hurt you. It's known to take 45 seconds to a minute off your run. Fail it and you get a pink sheet, more importantly your looked down on by fellow classmates. Personally I know a few that have failed the...

Just a heads up for API the min is 12:30 but it's on a chip trail.

Are you running a 1.5 mile in 15:00?

No. You won't know anything until you are down there. People that were my candio's were still waiting to class up when I got down there and I classed up before them. I waited a month some people in my class waited a few weeks even though the avg wait was 3-4 months. Focus on OCS.

Swearing in is the most important moment of anyones military career :eek:

Take it with a grain of salt. Nothing is official until you have your orders to OCS. Even FS can be pushed back.
