I already Commissioned. I am down in Pensacola now. But it went fine lol.

I have to say I completely agree. My major GPA was better than my overall GPA but not by almost a whole GPA point.

You have to commission on or after your 31st birthday. Anytime before that makes you NPQ. Happened to a guy that was in a class ahead of me.

Just an FYI that right now the scuttlebutt for OCS pilots is that after commissioning they are Oharping for 4 months before reporting to NASC Pensacola.

It was "drill" instead of "kill" before I left.

Ya PSD has already processed my application and I have a pick up date.

Just commissioned on Friday. Good luck to you all. Just work hard be LOUD! Know your knowledge so you don't have to worry about studying during the week and a half of RLP prep. Take OCS chow by chow. Don't worry or stress about anything other than the event in front of you (i.e. Flight physicals...

You won't get orders till week 11 and can't pcs w/o orders.

You are 100% wrong. I know who your chiefs DI and class officers are for 09-14.

False. I have follow on orders to Miton, FL and allows for a pcs move. But I am also married. Unless your a SWO you won't get orders till the final week.

The degree itself doesn't matter. We have two IWs that have social degrees but high GPA.

Eh I go back to commission really sucks for 08-14 they go back to RLP.

We are prob talking about the same person.

Please do this :) There is always that one person that has it and stands out...needless to say everyone makes fun of them.

Actually indoc week is all medical until Friday. They have "wake up Wednesday" and "Outpost" that Friday. But they have 30 extra hours of drill. Some might think "not a bad trade off" but I would rather have poppy suits that have 30 extra hours with class team on my face....

During 6-7th week all the SWO's in your class will get together to figure out ship selection. You have aways until then. Focus on the steps ahead first.

You will not swim the PRT. If you cant run the 1.5 mile (either to slow or you quit) you are going to H-Class. There are 4 PFA's (IST, In-PFA, Mid-PFA, Out-PFA). Failing any portion of the IST puts you in H-class for 3 weeks. Can't run your going to Med Hold. If your an aviator NAMI hates...

The chest x-ray is on Monday of Indoc week too.

There is no more running in the P ways or Killzone. They go to Gym 109. As for the run time yes lol everyone got a max or outstanding after two weeks as Candi-O's and getting from the dessert cart.

You'll go to Gym 109 and run on the indoor track. Just had my Out PFA last Monday.

Ya. No one here at OTCN has heard about the NPQ and go home. Its a waste of money when we have candidates that aren't "fly or go home" and actually want to serve. But NAMI sent me my PQ so personally I am happy. Its just most people don't want to go SWO. If I was NPQ I would have taken SWO.

He is. He won't be the class officer.

No SWO first. I think that is a reason SWO boards are selecting so low is that aviation that is NPQ get the option to go SWO only first. I would assume that they can still go SNFO. The two guys that I mentioned were NPQ for the aviation community (surgery and months of high blood pressure). But...

I am on leave by entering my final week at OCS. While I personally was PQ by NAMI and no one in my class (either company) has been NPQ I do know of others that got NPQ by NAMI. Here is how the process currently goes when a candidate is interested in redesignating; OTCN automatically puts that...

SWO with a 2.5 GPA is not your best chance.

But they do in regards to OCS academics. We had a lot struggle with Nav and NOS.

Last board was 49%

Yep I am in the last set of courses starting week 7. Graduation is on Fridays.

No reason to freak out. You can't control it so it's out of your hands.

What?

What do you mean "recent issues" and "a lot of scrutiny"?

I believe you need your PRK before you apply. Then you have to wait 6 months for your physical which you need to get to obtain a PQ. Your PQ is needed if you are to become PRO Y to get a FINSEL.

Your NASIS is included in the application.

I heard SWO filled all their FY14 billets and NFO just selected for FY14. I wouldn't think quotas are higher at all.

You haven't graduated with your degree yet? You wont get a FINSEL until they receive your final transcripts and proof of degree.

Good Luck. About them lowering standards for Supply because they needed more applicants...that is the first I heard. Supply has recently been getting applicants and I only know of one person on this website that was PRO-Y for Supply. Your EC activities look good though.

No one knows how practice tests translates to your real score. Just do your best on the real test.

I dont think anyone with a 5 PFAR was selected at the July board (at least not on AW). If you want aviation, re take.

Are you PQ'd medically and have your background investigation open? Also there is a backlog for OCS currently I hear as they are understaffed which could lead to longer waits.

I hear final selects could take longer now because there is a backlog on OCS as they are understaffed. Just a waiting game now.

It usually takes about 4 weeks to get a final select after you are PQ and JPAS is opened. Then the OCS date on your final select gives you about 4 weeks to prepare.

Ya its crazy the medical differences between enlisting vs commission.

Or medical.

But there are also selects from the December board joining me in the October 6th class. It all varies.

Well you wont get a FS then until after graduation. They need final transcripts and certificate of degree before issuing it.

You have graduated college right?

Ya the answer is in the text. If the passage says 2+2=5 and that is a answer choice that is the answer. Don't over think it rather just read what is in the passage.

False my investigation was opened before a pro y. It depends on when your recruiter sends in the sf86 and fingerprints.

This is where I got my info. http://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/fy14-class-dates.40403/

People have already gotten their FS letters. Some a week after the board convened. People have also gotten FS letters for the November 17 class as well.
