I know that this is an NROTC thread. Any speculation on how sequester may affect accessions on the OCS side? I know they got rid of AOCS a few years back.

I heard on Voice Alpha no more spots through FY14.

Stupid question, what's Voice Alpha? Googled it already, not sure what hit it is.

Hopefully you won't end up like some classmates that got sent home in 2002/2003 since the Navy had too many SNAs and not enough money.....

RiseR 25, how fast can the J-20 go?

 

[RiseR 25]

By the geometry, I would estimate Mach 1.8. Or maybe can't go anywhere, depends on the maintenance capabilities of their air force.

 

[RiseR 25]

Yikes, hopefully not. My recruiter made me retake the ASTB to get the scores up to the above average range of the guys that made the last board.

Remember, if it asks you if you like to speed, ride roller coasters, or break some rules, say YES.

Unless the question is about doing ludicrously dangerous things that go over and above calculated risks and thrill seeking... when you come across that question, you answer NO.

Yes, unnecessary risk like welding a half filled gas tank...no.

Awesome, thanks for the advice on the speeding part, and the calculated risk. Admiral Ackbar makes good points as well.
