Yeah, I didn't have much of a shot. Our helicopter aircrew forced rate conversion closed us up. I know of one guy that made rank....
It's wide open through E-5 though! I could have used that extra college money for sure!
Congrats Lucky3, you are lucky to have a more open rate (I DIDN'T CHOOSE AW, I WAS AN AE AIRCREW!!!) Curse you, forced rate conversion!!

I have two friends at my prior duty station who still don't have acceptance letter or physicals. Makes me realize how motivated people on this site actually are. I guess you kinda have to be to find this forum in the first place.

Out of curiousity, is this date based on your age? degree plan? something else?
I turn 29 July 1st 2009.
Congrats! I made it last cylce, it is really nice to not have to take advancement exams anymore!
So, someone younger could take longer to complete?
Correct. You have up to 36 months, but due to my age I'm ending up with about 12 months. Luckily I am able to complete the degree within these parameters. As far as I can tell you can't do the program in under two semesters no matter how much transfer credit the school gives you. Because you still have to complete two courses in Naval Science which seem to always be offered during separate terms. Baring getting one of those waived you are going to be in for two.
Of course all this goes against what many others have voiced previously which is to maximize your time at school. Which I would be interested in if I was younger and single. For me I can't wait to start getting that O-1E pay because as soon as I execute my orders and head to NSI I'm losing all my nuke/sub/cola and I've gotten used to a pretty fat pay check. I just want to do well in school and graduate asap. But that's me, to each his own.
