Cya there ceculeis, will be "interesting", hehe.

Adrenaline, you have a high GPA (unlike my 2.7 in Aero Sci), your PRT scores can only go up (although yours are still better then mine), and your ATSB score can only go up as well - I don't know what your age is, but I am guessing you still have time to apply several times. I think its not a question of "if", but rather "when".

Good luck, you will get it.

I actually applied twice as well, although it was a result of a FUBAR.

On my application, I listed SNA first, and NFO second (I really only wanted SNA, but I figured I put NFO down anyway as my 2nd option). My older brother was applying at the same time, and since back then he did not know about the PRK eye surgery, he put down NFO only. Well, somehow our medical files got mixed up (same very "unique" last names), and the Navy told the recruiter that I have no chance for pilot because of my vision, and I got NFO.

Finally, after some digging, the problem was uncovered, and I sent in another application for SNA - this time getting it. My bro later reapplied for SNA as well after getting his PRK, and got it as well.

Just to show you that everyone has setbacks.

adrenaline,
out of curiosity. did you go to ERAU? if so how did you get a degree in Aero Sci with only a PPL? Just curious. you may start working on a instrument rating if your test scores are good, more flight time couldn't hurt. my gpa, like other people's wasn't as good as yours but the flight time may have made a difference. keep in mind that the guys on the board probably are pilots and know that a good pilot isn't necessarily a 4.0 student so add some other cool stuff to your package and write a kick ass letter of reconsideration, talk it up.
good luck

FLY NAVY!!!

on the application when it asked for flight time, I just had a blink and I can't remember how it asked, but I know what I answered on the application. I put each plane that I flew, but I think back and it might have asked for the type. In which case I probably look dumb answering PA38-112 and C-172. Can anyone put my mind at ease on this?

[ghost_ttu]

[Adrenaline Rush]

ghost, still waiting to hear??? does it still cross your mind a lot?? or has that passed??

 

[ghost_ttu]

which part, it all crosses my mind. If they say no I'm selling everything and going back to school to do rotc.

i am glad that i have school to worry about now cause that has taken my mind off, i know it would be hard not knowing what will happen, but i think i would still be happy in a 121 or 135 operation , would u consider civil aviation if navy doenst workout

Hey,

I know that I'm considering civil although I'd much rather a military career. I'm going to keep going with flying until I'm commercially certified and if I haven't gotten into any military branch by that time I will try for a commercial job. Obvioulsy it's much more difficult than I just put but you get the idea. And as far as the military goes ..... the more flight time the better so I figure I'm killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Damn I just love to fly!!

Peace,
