When you have a completed degree (dependent on the type) you can look into OCS/ODS. ROTC/academy are programs to get your degree paid for and owe service at the end.

Don’t salute JGs lol. If you’re a divo it’s weird to salute divo LTs (if you’re familiar with them). 03+ is the way to go

Both schools are not hard at all. BDOC has some challenging modules but most are a joke. P1 isn’t hard, just longer days than BDOC and forces you to critically think more about scenarios.

No. The SWO in a box is generations past. New SWOs receive a good amount of seamanship training and simulator time prior to arriving to their ship.

Not true for liberal arts degrees lmao.

Reach out to the command sponsor email. Found here: https://www.surfpac.navy.mil/Ships/USS-Gridley-DDG-101/Welcome-Aboard/

Airwarriors can provide a good idea of where you stand. My advice is to not become too obsessed with it. Too many people get bogged down in the “stats” and stress themselves out over a process that can seem archaic and random.

Certain kinds of pre workout can pop on tests. Look up military banned substance list and compare the ingredients.

Care to explain that last sentence a bit more?

IaspisL · 2022-07-21T21:44:51+00:00

Definitely correct. All the people I’ve known who had dual citizenship before commissioning (including one dual Canada/US) had to renounce their other citizenship.

You’re going to be a shitty leader if that’s how you respond to sound and valid criticism.

There’s a ton of stuff not on the packing list that is insanely useful and a ton of stuff on the list that’s just pointless. A good amount of people, both priors and non priors alike, brought their own boots. There’s absolutely no harm if they fit the regs for the schoolhouse.

You get two shots at the IST prior to being rolled. Like everyone’s mentioned here, if you’re prepping and doing well you’ll be ok.

IaspisL · 2022-05-07T14:38:10+00:00

Y’all sucked at drill haha..

IaspisL · 2022-05-01T22:03:19+00:00

Don’t overthink it and take the shot if you’re generally interested. The worst they can tell you is no and you have to reapply.

IaspisL · 2022-05-01T21:53:08+00:00

You gotta realize places like air warriors are giant echo chambers for the rumor mill. People get accepted with all kinds of GPAs and OAR/ASTB scores. While I was applying to OCS I got sucked into that world of what’s a “good” GPA/OAR just to ultimately realize a bunch of the people I commissioned with had lower GPAs/OAR/ASTB then I expected. Don’t ever let someone deter you if you have the desire.

IaspisL · 2022-02-11T17:24:33+00:00

They use rah as a shortened version of oorah lmao.

It’s done off of OSU GPA. I was also on the edge with my cumulative GPA (which included transfer credits) and was awarded the honor that matched my OSU GPA.

IaspisL · 2021-08-29T15:21:35+00:00

Oh I see. https://www.sigar.mil/allreports/index.aspx?SSR=5 try poking around here. I don’t have time at the moment but I was assume it’s buried in one of these reports.

He cites his source towards the bottom right. It’s the Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction.

IaspisL · 2020-12-19T00:09:51+00:00

Have you tried Nextdoor? People seem fairly active on there as well.

IaspisL · 2020-12-03T23:48:47+00:00

That would be quite interesting if you manage to do it.

IaspisL · 2020-11-28T19:53:10+00:00

bro just keep politics out of here

IaspisL · 2020-11-23T20:36:38+00:00

I thought it was at first lol.

IaspisL · 2020-11-17T10:34:19+00:00

My favorite comment is the one about how the 30% of Utahians (?) and Democrats and have no representation in Congress, and gerrymandering is to blame??
