PLC-Jrs This summer?

[DBLang]

I had an NFO contract, but there were 5 some odd candidates competing for a single NFO slot. Now I dont know what the deal is, I might go ground then switch. The point is, I doubt your OSO is on an NFO hunt.
You can switch, just make sure you'll be happy either way.

Ok, I hope someone reads this. I'm in the Corps of Cadets here at Texas A&M. I've been looking into the Marine Corps PLC program. I will need to get PRK as my vision is around 20/100 or something like that. Anyway I'm looking to be a pilot. My recruiter tells me that I will have to sign up to be an NFO. I'd rather not do that though, because he's a recruiter and he has to fill slots. Now, he told me that all I have to do is get the PRK surgery after my first session of OCS and that it is very easy to transfer my PLC contract from NFO to pilot. How true is that?

Maybe I can be of some help. I'm applying to PLC Jrs on a ground contract. After I go this summer, I'm going to get PRK, and then do a component change from ground to SNA (pending I get the PRK waiver). The OSO says it's not a big deal at all to do a component change. Thought it would help you out to know that there's others in your shoes. Good Luck.

I guess we're in the exact same boat EA-6B1

 

[EA-6B1]

Yea, you already have your air contract, and you just want to switch from SNFO to SNA, right?

 

[DBLang]

Yeah. I might have to go ground before I switch if I dont get the SNFO slot though. I was sort of undecided as to whether or not I should pursue SNFO or SNA but I'll be satisfied either way.

Just contracted this morning for 1st increment after about 7 months of BUMED crap. Can't wait to go! OOH RAH!

ChrisAg05,
Congrats on getting selected! If you don't mind me asking what did all your scores look like when you turned in your package? (SAT,GPA etc.)

thanks

I'm going to juniors 1st increment as well. I heard back just before the new year. I signed an aviation contract and I'm blind so maybe that means NFO? Maybe someone could give a little insight? As for stats, I'm running about a 260 PFT, GPA 3.1. I contracted with a PFT in the low 240's. I'm working hard for May 30. I can't wait to ship, culmination of a dream for me.

That April board can't come soon enough. I can't wait to find out what I will be doing this summer.

 

[DocT]

Thank God I finally heard, I'd been sweating it since late Oct. when my packet went in. It got even worse when I found out other guys from my OSO were accepted in two weeks. Either way, Good Luck Gonzodogg, I hope to see you in Quantico, 1st Incr.

 

[DBLang]

Didn't you read your contract DocT?

Just kidding...I signed so many papers it made my head spin.

 

[DocT]

Yeah I read my contract. It was a bit hard to retain any knowledge with my hand flying across the page signing my name 79 times in the half hour it took to contract. Now that I think about it, was that a National Guard contract I signed...?

 

[EA-6B1]

I'm suppose to contract 13 Feb. So there's a lot of paper signing huh?

 

[DocT]

More than I ever thought there would be. How long was that thing, maybe 40 some pages? I didn't care though, I was smiling the entire time.
