Applying to Jan board 2013

I did that in like 20 minutes. I had a pretty light weekend. Normally I'm a tad fried after work and working out - no way that would have happened on a weeknight..

Well then I guess its comforting to know if the navy doesn't pan out you can write christmas songs. Awesome job

Writing that poem should be a fitrep bullet.

Writing that poem should be a fitrep bullet.

Writing that poem should be a magazine of FITREP bullets.

I'm glad my act of dorkiness was not perceived as such.

"Act of dorkiness"...NOT! You ought to send as an E-mail attachment, to OCS. They'd probably get a kick out of it & post for the candidates before they leave on Christmas break (if they're in the holiday spirit)!

Actual laughter happened

I laughed at O-6 as well hah.

Called my OR today. Board is on schedule and they are hustling as we speak.

Still no word on my packet. However, he said any day now...

"hustling"

sign here, sign here, sign here..coffee..routing, routing, routing..lunch..you forgot to sign here, sign here, sign here..can't route anymore, admin is gone for the day..try again tomorrow.

Just got back from deployment and I went the OCS route. I will try to be around more often...if any of you have any questions, shoot me an IM or whatever. I had a terrible GPA and still was able to get the opportunity to wear shiny Wings of Gold, I'm getting ready to trade in the P-3 for the P-8. If any of you have any questions about OCS, the pipeline..or the P-3 and P-8 in general, give me a shout. My P-8 knowledge is very limited as we are starting the syllabus in January.

Good luck! This site is an excellent resource and there are Naval Aviators/NFO's with many hours of flight time and a few old timers here who "wrote the book" lurking about the place.

Man, I think P-8s would be sweet! I should talk to you sometime. I'll send you a PM when my last test (of my college career wow) is over later on tonight.

Much appreciated, but I don't think I need the DIs hearing about some guy who thinks he's a poet. I already have a terrible enough last name for OCS as it is!** Maybe some of the OCs home for the holidays will stumble on it and have a good laugh.

**We don't do "real names" on here, but let's just say it has the word "Roll" in it.

Mine told me the board finished Friday. So right now the decisions have probably all been made, but are just sitting on someone's desk to be signed off on.

Not to kick the beehive but over on NavyOCS Forums, someone got notified today for the 3 Dec board for SWO (for those of you who applied).

My surname name features a letter, three times, which has no pronunciation in the English language. Most people give up quickly. The others make a game of trying to figure it out. I'm sure I'll have a nickname within a minute of the first attempted reading by a DI.

 

[Tycho_Brohe]

My name's nice and easy, but people constantly call me by my last name instead of my first name. Biggest pet peeve.

And now we all know why the pen is mightier than the sword (just in case anyone had any doubts)

Me too, man. Me too. My first/middle/last names are all first names, and people ritually call me by my last name. In my office, when I get an email addressing me by my last name, I respond back addressing the person by their's.

(Disclaimer: This obviously doesn't apply to military atmosphere, or even when people intentionally call me by my last name, but when they think my last name is my first name, it's annoying)
