Inevitable sore throats from the cold are in my future. I survived Great Lakes in the winter, surely I can survive Newport.

Side note, can the Navy maybe get some training bases in warmer climates…?

they did, it was orlando. Not there anymore obviously

OCS used to be in beautiful Pensacola, until the Hurricanes ruined that.

All the aviation training is done around the Gulf coast, but that comes with its own problems

Corpus Christi is currently in a stage 3 drought and Milton/Pensacola have been getting slammed with summer storms

I’m scared for y’all if our board had such a high selection rate.

I was thinking of getting flight hours. I’m not sure what will help. I know people who got accepted with lower scores before this board.

Best bet is to keep studying for the ASTB and try for 7s or better across the board. I’d say don’t get more than a dozen flight hours. Just get familiar with how a plane feels and flies, and learn if it’s something you’d actually like to do as a career. As exNavyOffRec has said, flight time has no effect on selection.

Yeah are we cooked for Nov Boards? I guess there's really no way to tell. Seems like almost everything related to this process is impossible to predict.

Is it a six month wait to reapply for SNA again? Unless you get a waiver that shows significant packet improvement.

Yes. A retake of your ASTB with score improvements will qualify you.
