June - OCS 183

[AllenAzali]

Anybody else trying to get a spot. Im trying to send my packet in for June as soon as I tackle the PFT.

I'm taking the ASTB tomorrow morning...then flight physical and PFT...trying to get in the June OCS in Aviation. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

[tflexxin]

Budap,
how'd the ASTB go?

 

[res22cue]

Hi all, I'm trying for the June class also. Have to take the ASTB and PFT still. Yeah, let us know how the test went.

 

[Adrenaline Rush]

same here, takin the astb in a couple of weeks as well as the pft...hope to see some of you this summer in Quantico!!

I took the ASTB on Tuesday morning. I found it to be quite easy. I I scored 8,9,8...and somewhere in the 60's for the OAR (don't remember...my score sheet is at home). If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask. I glanced through the ARCO book and found that it was fairly informative. Good luck to you all.

I've been bumped again to the June 03 OCC class.

I'm done with all the physicals, astb, etc..and I don't quite remeber my ASTB score...all I know is that I passed. My package was already submitted with 259pft. I did two contracts Air/ground. I'm waiting for a word from HQ. Until then I guess it's pt until I find out more.

Right now I'm at about 269 and shooting for 300 by June. Good luck all. Stay motivated.

OSO says 270 is a realistic number to secure a spot for OCS.

Hang in there Davidsin. Here on teh East Coast my OSO said he should know the selection board results Monday or Tuesday.

Anyone know when the board for June OCC meets? It sounds like some of the PLC applicants get to hear well in advance, but you have to wait pretty much until the last month to hear results for OCC boards. Davidsin- how did you do two contracts? My OSO told me you couldn't do that- first of all since they don't have any OCC ground slots open for a while, and since you have to choose one or the other anyway. Did you hear something different?

"Peace on earth to men of goodwill. All others stand by."

 

[budaploud]

My OSO told me to expect the board to meet and have decisions made by late march...early april. that's all i know. i'm all done with the app and tests...just waiting to hear about what is going to happen with my life...just like the rest of you. good luck

I was shooting for 182 but my PFT scores were miserable so I'm now shooting for 183. I took the ASTB and passed the pilot portion but failed the NFO portion (go figure). Passed the flight physical, etc. and ready to be a pilot otherwise. I will have a first class PFT by the end of January (knock on wood). Hopefully I will have 250 pft or better before OCS in June.

BTW, a 270 PFT is the "number" you need for a ground contract. For aviation, it's somewhat lower (don't know precisely how low, might depend on whether you are going as an NFO or pilot). Does this sound like what you've heard from your OSO?

 

[budaploud]

no...i haven't heard that. one of my friends just graduated 181 ground...had lower than a 270...i don't think there is any formula to this whole thing to be quite honest.

 

[Kimphils Girl]

No... there is a formula. If you watch "Full Metal Jacket" you will see just how hard the marines have to work out to make it through OCS.

Stay strong kimphil! Its only a mind game!

FMJ was about boot camp not ocs.
