I would think that an MBA with that gpa is probably one of the best assets you could have. If I have my facts straight, the supply corps LOVES MBAs. I think it will prove tremendously beneficial in your app.

Impressive Dolfin. The LOR from the congressman should be worth its weight in gold. BS in accounting should be looked upon highly by supply. My recruiter says that supply should be meeting at the end of JAN, early FEB. Best of luck to you, and let us know what happens!!

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHAHHAH. The Puget Sound is my waters matee. The only pirates (and islands) that be between here and Alaska are of the Canadian nature. I remember about 5-10 years ago there were big disputes between Candian and US fishermen between the Sound and Alaska. Candian...

Hey now JG, I have a 3.0 cum gpa, and I would consider myself a hard worker. When taking advanced engineering courses, it is common to get C's in difficult classes some semesters (i.e. thermodynamics, fluids, etc). I count on my design courses and easier engineering courses to even my grades...

I believe that competitive profiling is a waste of the applicants time, assuming they are reasonably qualified. If you know what you want, GO FOR IT. Getting selected for any community is strictly based on timing and numbers (this especially holds true for SNA). My point is that current...

Best wishes boulder. Let us know what happens.

I heard the same news from my recruiter. I would have been sworn in by now if the navy hadn't lost my meps file. Retaking it delayed the whole process 2 weeks, now I wont be able to swear in until late JAN, early FEB. D*mnit

I have heard of others not hearing back from their recruiter if they get turned down. You will definitely hear back ASAP if you get pro-recd because you will have 1 month from that day to get in your final docs.

September? Jesus man. You shoulda heard back by now (not to worry you or anything). I'd call your recruiter and see whats going on. Snowboarding kicks ass. Going to Whistler in a week or two. Bdcp isn't really a scholarship, but I think I know what you are saying. That is odd your...

Good luck Erin. Let us know what happens!

Most likely a 7/8. If you got a 78 OAR, you are required to publish a book on how to do well on the ASTB.

Thats some interesting gouge if i've ever seen it. Those are the golden numbers right there. However, you would think (being how close the 05 slots are) that the supply corps would already have those slots booked up or darn near close to it.

It must be noted that your LORs cannot be submitted from you, they have to be mailed from the people that write them. There is no form you have to fill out for LORs, but you note them on the proffessional reccommendation part of the app for comm.

RHPF, I think you are mixing a few things up here. You are talking about LORs (Letters of Reccommendation) like they are job reference forms. Here's how it works in case you need to know. LORs are from individuals that have the credentials to, and are willing to mail in a formal letter...

From what I recall from taking both versions, in the computer version there are arithmetic, math, mechanical, navy, spatial apperception. For some reason I feel like there is another part strictly concerning flight questions, i.e. what does an aileron do, what is an NFO, etc etc. But I think...

The one thing i found comical about that site is that the book is advertised in such a way that leads you to believe that you are "purchasing" a career as a naval aviator. "Do you think you might enjoy beginning your day by wriggling into a G-suit and survival vest and sauntering across the...

If you truly love your job, and if that job is a source of happiness in your life, you could work 7 days a week 365 days a year and be fine IMO.

I thourghly enjoy Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator II (if you are looking for some old fashioned dogfighting). For the most part, it seems fairly realistic (although I must say I've never dogfighted in a P-51). On the highest difficulty, there are a multitude of things that can go wrong...

I have a 3.1 in Aerospace Engineering and got selected. There are several BDCP selects (in all areas, i.e. SNA, NFO, Supply, etc) that got in with 3.0 gpas. The major has a lot to do with it, but again, it's the whole package concept.

Every naval aviator I have known, both past, present, and future, has loved their career so much, that they were honored to sit down with a wannabee and give every nugget of advice that they could. I agree with all the above posts. This doesn't seem like a naval aviator to me. This seems...

You and I already discussed this one. Hard choice that only you will have to make. In my opinion, you have a decent package. But, on the contrary, 05 is going to be extremely competitive due to the fact that they probably already have it pretty full, if not packed. I am by no means an expert...

As the great George Carlin once said, "Anyone that is driving slower than me is an idiot, and anyone driving faster is a wacko."

I see and understand all of your points. I am getting at the fact that various BDUs were developed for the army (both desert and jungle) so they can blend in to their environment. Same for the marines. The air force? Well I have no idea what in the hell their motives are for anything, so I...

Good question plt, but i would highly doubt it, as you are already available for a commission when you complete your first bachelors degree. It seems like it would be more economical to get a commission and then use the various means at your disposal in the military for continuing your education.

I know of several marines that refer to themselves as jarheads.

Please tell me this, for those of you that have seen the proposed blue cammies. WHY IN THE HELL DO SAILORS NEED BLUE CAMO?, so they can blend in with the grey decks of the ship? Please tell me there is a reasonable explanation for this, and its not just some lame attempt at naval fashion.

Thanks for replying guys. Finally some info.

^and that is what happens when you tell a marine aviator not he's not "cut out" to fight. Bad idea Clux. Again, I STRESS, that none of these people are charging Omaha Beach, they are (for the most part) sitting on U.S. soil, or safe military bases throughout the world. So the whole "You...

The key is to "try" not to use a person more than once, at least that is what they tell you. It isn't a big deal though. I agree with vette, make sure all the time is accounted for. Also make sure that you specify that all the times you have traveled to Afghanistan, North Korea, and Iraq in...

:eek: You completely missed the point I was making. FOR THE MOST PART, THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT EVEN IN THE "COMBAT ZONE." In fact, 2 of suing soldiers are here in the United States!!! Yeah, that sure as hell is a dangerous combat zone if i've ever seen one. I don't know about you Odom, but I am...

I fully agree with this statement. However, I think that my "whining about someones unpatriotic attitude," as you so eloquently put it, is justified. You are making the assumption that the individuals suing are being shot at daily, which is NOT the case, especially for their billets. Im not...

Screwed is a relative term.

I applied and was pro-selected 2007 for supply with a major in Aerospace Engineering w/minor in applied mathematics.

As a future officer, and someone that has fully experienced family not being home for certain important events, I have my own thoughts about this issue. I think that for the individuals unbound by contractual obligations and are being held against their will for extended periods of time...

Congrats jeff!

I believe that people that call the cops to find their stolen drugs should be subjected to shock therapy on the spot.

My advice to you is to get all of your LOR's sent in NOW, your astb taken NOW... Completely fill out your application for commission, do your EPSQ NOW, your PFT dont and sent in now, and do meps now. You can get everything sent in now, but you have to be within 2 yrs of graduation for your NRD...

It is my understanding that as a non-technical major, you cannot apply until you are two years from graduation. Here is the information straight from the navy's website. Hope this helps. http://www.navy.com/education/earnmoneyforcollege

I count on the liberal media for two things: weather reports, and sports scores, one of which they can't even get right half the time. The media is good at reporting SOME events (the ones with inarguable facts) to the world. I.E. 7 car bombs went off in Spain today. However, I think we can...

I have looked around, but have not yet found an answer to this question. Is it possible to swear in for BDCP and switch communities? I.E. Can a person swear in BDCP supply, and switch and get accepted to NUPOC or NFO for example prior to graduation? Or do you have to do your time with the...

If you weren't convicted, it doesn't count. I fully agree with Mkolker. Try, try, and try again. I would definitely try to bring your ASTB up though, as well as your GPA, if possible. Please feel free to email me or IM me if you have any questions.

P.S. Congrats on the marriage

I find the most effective way to solve money problems is with a crowbar, and a threatening tone. Hope this helps

Good work man. Now that is dedication! Let me know if I can do anything to help you out. I am a fellow BDCP supply. Swearing in late December.

Agreed. Just tough to consider them human beings when they resort to such actions.

"God has a hardon for marines, because WE KILL EVERYTHING WE SEE" -Don't know why I threw that famous quote in here, but I felt I needed to. Perhaps at some other place at some other time, marines could enter a room, and not have to worry about their enemies lying on the ground with a...

In my opinion BDCP is much much more competitive than an NROTC scholarship. I am not fully knowledgable about all the different types of NROTC scholarships. Some NROTC scholarships are more competitive than others. I know several individuals that got an ROTC scholarship with sub 3.0 GPAs...

Yeah the EPSQ was lovely. I have an EPSQ horror story actually. I had to do it twice. The first time I did it my computer got a virus, causing me to format the hard drive, losing all the hours of work I did on it. After seriously contemplating suicide, I undertook the task again...

I personally like to listen to the barbie girl song (by aqua) when i am running. Really gets me pumped up.

That is interesting. First time i've ever heard of an OSO giving someone the choice. I would take the computerized without hesitation, and for several reasons. The onboard timer lets you budget your time more wisely. You don't have to match up the questions with the pesky scantron sheet and...
