I just posted this in a different thread, but I think some people may not dig that deep to try and find this info. So, lucky for all of you, I am going to make a separate topic.
I was a prior enlisted, a Corpsman for 10 years, before I decided to try my hand at naval aviation as an officer. I earned all of my college credits while I was on active duty, so for those of you who do that I totally give you props because I know it can be difficult.
I also had to do my entire OCS package by myself. My command career counsellor was in the middle of Chief's initiation when I was getting all of my paperwork in order. I learned that there is a lot more to putting these packages together than some instructions will lead you to believe.
After looking at quite a few of these instructions, and realizing just how much had been left out that was needed for a package, I decided to make a revamped website with more information in addition to helpful links that can be beneficial to both future OCS students and Aviation Pre-Flight Students. Here is the link -

If you have any questions about putting a package together, please feel free to write me. I can only give you information based on my own experiences, but I will do my best to not mislead you. And, there might be an advantage to talking to someone who has "been there and done that" as opposed to getting some of this info from a recruiter or command career counsellor who may not know all of the ins and outs. By all means, utilize all of your resources!
