ASTB One Point Waiver

[pjxc415]

Any of you all applied with one of these recently? Know how hard it is to get one? I just scored a 5/5/5.

I know a few people who have applied for the waiver and ALL of them received it no problem, all within the past couple months. When your OSO says you should apply for the waiver instead of taking the test again and risking scoring lower, listen to him.

thanks, that's good to know. i actually talked to my MOI today. he said he already contacted hqmc and they want my package asap. guess thats a good thing. guess all i need now is the physical. occ 191 .. i'm assuming you haven't completed ocs yet? i think my buddy was 189 this summer.

 

[openbah]

Correct. I leave January 22, can't wait. Good luck!

Thought I might bring this up before you screw yourself, I got a brief at TBS less than a year ago for all air contracts, and the first things they asked were "is anybody here taller than 6'3" and second was "is anybody here on the so-called 1 pt waiver." From what they then told us, there is no such thing as a one point waiver, and I guess is you'd made it that far they'd make you take it and score higher?

Not to threadjack, but this one particularly applies to me....what was the outcome of the 6"3 and over crowd?

Thanks,

Let me tell you if youare just a little over 6'3" ...... DON NOT SAY ANYTHING and just sit real low when they measure you in PCola. If you are way over than you might as well say something and they will just re-measure you b 4 starting IFS.

Trust me .... I had a HUGE PROBLEM with my anthros (on the short side of the spectrum) and everything has since worked out but TRUST me ..... don't bring attention to yourself if you don't have to.

 

[FLY_USMC]

They made the guys that were 6'3" and over get remeasured in the USNA anthro chair up in Annapolis. Most were just barely over, and none of them failed. There's even a guy that was 6'4" who's anthros were shorter than mine, me being 6'2".

 

[Cordespc]

I'm 6"4....shall I assume that I am only eligible for props?

Thanks
Paul

 

[FLY_USMC]

I wouldn't
