I'm off to MEPS in a couple as well, though mine is because they have the wrong place of birth on my fingerprint card. The sooner the better, they're telling me.
What signatures do they need? My OR told me all I can do now is wait for my FINSEL.
You should have to sign papers regarding your security clearance. That's about it.
Thank you. Makes sense now since I have an active one already.
The Marine Officer requirements are much more involved than the Navy. The Navy focuses more on ASTB-e and GPA(As well as other determinants.) The Marine application is a long and arduous process that takes dedication and commitment just to get the opportunity to apply. PFT is weighed heavily as well as astb-e, gpa, extra-curricular, and probably most importantly the recommendation of the OSO. I started with the Marines and switched to the Navy application shortly after. After a while I realized that the Marine route fit me as a person much more. No offense to the Navy program, but it's one of those thing that you know deep down. The one thing that I learned very quickly and will continue to have drilled into my head is that you are a MARINE first. You don't even get to step foot near an airplane for at least nine months, so you have to ask yourself what you really want. Message me if you'd like and I can give you more details on the process. I'm currently waiting for the next Marine board to convene.
Same. I was told it would be sometime this month. Hopefully some of the aviation pro-recs will withdraw their SWO applications if that was their first choice.
