Hey guys, what do you think my chances of getting jets now are?

HAHA, Hell yeah! The only one I haven't been to is Lolipops, ya gotta be 21. Next October 18th, my life will graduate to perfection.

I go to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach FL. It is a private school, so in state/out of state doesn't matter. Tuition is $10,500/semester, tack on costs of living and food, it ends up being about $28,000 a year. Tack on beer, strip club costs, and other mandatory items...

Hehe... I know. As a friend of mine that served on the boards back in the day (former P-3 pilot, squadron CO) would say, "The whole game is about timing and numbers." You have to have the right timing, and the navy has to be looking for the right numbers. If these two aren't in good shape...

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that something twice the size going the same speed would cause twice the damage. But since you don't want a physics lesson, i'll spare you the details :-D

As long as I can still "squeeze" in to my choker whites everyday after I get off duty i'll be happy. I know ZAB feels the same way :-D

Ohio Class boomers ran about $2 billion a piece when originally constructed (not including the ICMBs). Los angeles Class attacks were $900 million a pop. Also, considering a boomer is one hell of a lot more massive than a LAC attack, more momentum would have resulted in a lot more damage, and...

Tack on about three more zeros, and I think you might have the magic number. All I can say is thank God it wasn't a boomer. Im sure this "underwater mountain" can be found on the charts now.

I would love to transfer to an in state federally subsidized Engineering School. Unfortunately, there aren't a whole lot of options. For those of us that are going to private schools, HAPPY SPENDING.

Good luck on the PFT. Post your scores. I have heard of quite a few people transferring to the Marines after Navy OCS, especially if they are in need. The way I look at it is that I have two chances of transferring; after OCS, and after my four year commitment. One way or another, I am going...

HEHE, put in my app for SNA, SUPPLY, NFO, respectively. My stats can be found on the "the app is in" post if you do a search. Denied SNA and NFO, pro-selected supply, waiting for final select (should be within the first week of feb). The problem is that I am not in shape enough to kill the...

Learn that gouge like the back of your hand and you will be fine... JUST with the gouge, I raised my 45 oar to a 60. IMO, its all you need

Tough decision my friend. I encountered (am still in) the same situation. Bare in mind, when BDCP gives you the thumbs up on your BDCP (if they do), you will have no longer than 1 month to swear in, or turn it down. You are probably going to have to face the same decision im dealing with...

I never took an Airforce test. I think we are talking about different tests. I am talking about the ASTB (aviation selection test batter). The computerized test I took was DEAD ON with the gouge. I'm sure the air force's was quite a bit different.

I don't know about reading 3 books for this little 1.5 hr test. THE GOUGE FROM THIS SITE STILL APPLIES DIRECTLY TO THE NEW TEST. It is ALL related. If you took the sample tests on this site and blew them out of the water, then you are ready to kick ass on the ASTB. If you understood it for...

I suppose its better that it plinked off the radar and didn't go in to the intake. Even though both are probably just as costly to repair.

I would die to go to a machine gun shoot and see that thing perform. You saw what it did to those vehicles. Imagine what it would do to a Taliban training camp. It gives me a hardon just thinking about it. I couldn't think of a more fulfilling career than being a door gunner with one of those.

Well, most aren't concerned about passing it, most are concerned about achieving a competitive score. Considering you only have three shots your whole life, it definitely merits one hell of an amount concern.

I would gladly, and literally, give my left testicle to own one of those.

I think you are talking about auditing a class. As far as selection is concerned, the Navy does care about Withdrawals, and bad grades, obviously. Auditing is a sneaky way to get around withdrawing from a class, and doesn't look as bad as withdrawing. Any pattern of auditing classes can be...

Congrats speedgirl!!! That's awesome. I am waiting for final select for supply (BDCP grad 07) as well. The wait is killin' me. Looks like its a rolling board; people seem to get word of their selection about every week. I don't have a response to your question. I just wanted to say...

Evr since I watched top gun when i was 8 i wanted to be like maverick and shoot misles at planes. and now since it is my 30th birthday, i think i wanna do it. what percent of people get to be like maverick? Do they let u shoot mislies at training? Is there any way i can get a ride in a jet...

Best of luck to you Metro. I would think you would hear about pro-rec reasonably soon. I have heard from multiple sources (including my recruiter) suggest that the boards are supposed to meet from now until the first week of FEB. Keep us posted!

Npq'd = Not physically qualified

Hoover, I finished the EPSQ about 4 months ago, and it never asked me anything about how many speeding tickets I had. It did however asked me if I had any violations that were unpaid and six months delinquent. Perhaps this is a later version of the EPSQ that you completed.

Congratualtions man. Hopefully that means I will be getting my final call from my recruiter soon. I was pro-selected, and am now awaiting the final word. I heard the boards would be meeting this week. Im me some time gator. I think we talked before you applied.

Speeding tickets mean anything unless they are unpaid. They ask you this on the EPSQ.

I was rejected SNFO a couple months ago. These are my stats. I hope this helps, and good luck. Graduating May 2007 60 OAR on ASTB 3.10 G.P.A. Aerospace Engineering major. Dean's list 2x 5 letters of rec: 1 from Navy Commander, 1 from Navy LT, 1 from the Dean of student programs at...

Also, if you took the paper version before, the new computerized test counts as three more tries. For example, a year ago (before the computerized version was available) I took the paper version once. Now there exists the new computerized version, which I can take 3 times.

Pushups and situps always come before the run, but in no particular order. Your toes will either be stood on, or kneeled on for situps. Your arms must be crossed, and you must always be touching your opposite shoulder. If you let go, you are done. Situps are more like crunches. You only...

DUDE. There is some messed up crap out there <-no pun intended. Most of it can be found at: WWW.consumptionjunction.com

A technical degree is just a bonus to have on your application. The boards think highly of them because their curricula contain demanding mathematics and science classes. They are challenging degrees that require the most solid work ethic and determination to earn. Again, they are a bonus to...

Zugg, I looked around for you and found the following probable job openings. Best of luck my friend. Scott

Hence my poor joke. :D

I would agree that the media focusus on the rarest of events, i.e. civilian casualties. It is when the politicians focus on events like this that piss me off. I only saw it reported on Foxnews, which didn't do a bad job of reporting it (at least i thought not). It seemed unbiased; and what...

I got the worst warning in my life in Wyoming. 78 in a 75. WTF is that? I think he was just bored. Not much to do except cow tipping and writing warnings out there. All of those that go through that state: Haul balls until you get next to Cheyenne, slow your ass down, and then drive like a...

Hey fly, I was just ribbing you. Nothing like a little humor to keep things light.

I love it FLY. You are as sensitive as a god d*mn brick. Nonetheless, I couldn't agree with you more.

I will be swearing in supply BDCP (2 years until graduation) within a month. I am trying to gather as much information as possible before I do so. I have learned so much about all the officer programs in the past year that I feel I could write a book on it. I am sure many of us feel like that...

Outstanding. I hoping to get some flight time under my belt, as well as a few more extra-currics. I'm going to try and bring my FOFAR up to an 8 or 9 and my OAR higher as well. (scored a 7, 60 the last time). I'm hoping that these improvements mixed with a little luck and good timing will do...

I don't know if this is accurate or not. My recruiter told me I had no longer than 1 month from being pro-rec'd to turn in my findocs. Your NRD can file extensions though, if the situation merits them

I am pro-selected Supply, OAR 60, 3.6 Aerospace Engineering grad 07. Don't have my MBA though. :-D

A full ride ROTC scholarship is obtainable, mooting the point you made about only receiving a uniform and textbooks, since there is a possibility of having them pay for your college. In some instances this is worth more or less than BDCP. This is solely dependant on the cost of attending the...

I am a member of the naval aviation club here at Embry-Riddle, Daytona Beach. We have a pretty good time. We usually carpool to airshows and have VIP access and all that jazz. I would love to get the club in to P-3 or something. How do you go about arranging such events?

HEHE. I don't know a whole hell of a lot of people that have their bachelors degrees at 18. You must be 18 to apply for the program. Good Luck!

LORs from officers definitely help, but i wouldn't sweat it if you don't have any. LOR's from respectable professors are valuable as well. If it were me, I would just emphasize your knowledge of the demanding role of a naval officer, and stress that you are capbable of handling it. LOR's...

HEHE. For some reason, I don't think I would like to find myself in the middle of the wilderness alone with you and a wallet full of cash. :D

Interesting point zornundo. I wonder actually what the percentage of supply officers come from OCS, vs the Naval Academy and ROTC NPQ's. Anyone know?
