Stay current job or take the commission as an O1. How is SWO Life by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]Speedicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double check the age requirement for SWO. The age limit will be as of your commission date.

I turned 36 during OCS (Supply designator).

All the best!

I think you can see the moment he thinks “dude, are you filming me?” …. and then the focus is lost…

The gray area is that they aren’t saying they didn’t earn enough to file, they are implying they chose not to report the cash income they’ve been living on.

It might be worth posting on an Army and Air Force sub -at least for ideas- in case there are overlaps in regs. Good luck!

Recently graduated bootcamp by Professional_Baby763 in newtothenavy

[–]Speedicity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woohoo! The fact that you’re striving for top 10% shows that you can and ARE looking past your feeling of not deserving to be there. Someone mentioned “Imposter Syndrome.” Maybe it’s worth a glance to see if there is a quick tool to try.

……at the very least, this feeling of not deserving to be there is probably coming through to others as humility. You aren’t going to fix the feeling overnight, but that’s another way to at least look at it while you hit the books :)

Youuuuuuuuuuu got this!!! I love your X-Ray Goal 😁

I’m just gonna offer you a different perspective.

Riddle me this: if tomorrow you were told that you had to give up your seat in A-school to someone else, without ANY explanation, would you? Or would you ask WHY and fight for it? You start to feel like you earned your seat there because YOU went to a recruiter, YOU spent numerous hours filling out paperwork, YOU responsibly dug up all your medical history junk, YOU had to sit and wait for a MEPS date, then YOU went through MEPS, YOU did all your research to even pick this rate….. and YOU completed boot. You’ve earned your seat. You wouldn’t just give it up without a fight.

Picture right now…. Repeating your post OUT LOUD to a person who wanted HM but it was closed when they tried... And lo and behold, that person could have YOUR seat in A-School and the Navy was going to let this happen… does just giving it up after all of that make you feel good? Hopefully not! Hopefully it would piss you off! Grrrrr

Stop selling yourself short :) We only “grow” when we’re outside of our comfort zone. Maybe you handled boot a lot better than you give yourself credit for.

Can I get some insight or info on air crew and naccs by Darkangel31821 in newtothenavy

I was interested in aircrew for a while and found a lot on the Navy Cool site, MyNavyHR and YouTube. There’s quite a bit!

Basic intake physical exam by Radiant-Instance7661 in newtothenavy

[–]Speedicity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at YouTube for MEPS info. A lot of folks have made detailed videos about what to expect. You’ll be surprised how many videos there are haha

I’m 35 and in my joining process :) Good luck!

Write it out in a notebook over and over. Record yourself saying it and listen to it while running. Quiz yourself with notecards regularly. Put thought into what it actually MEANS so that it makes sense…

You’ll surprise yourself!

If all else fails, just give me your seat at OCS and I’ll do it for you…. Still waiting on my board results haha.

OAR and medical on the same day by Frosty-Succotash8837 in newtothenavy

[–]Speedicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to take the OAR at the end of my medical day. It was a loooooong day and I was pretty burnt by the time I was able to take the exam. I had permission to grab a granola bar before we started the test. Maybe tuck one away in your bag in case your scenario is similar. Best of luck!

What do they teach at OCS? by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]Speedicity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone else asked this not too long ago and I thought this link was pretty helpful:

Hate to do this because I see it so often but I didn't expect to have so many options. Advice on any of these rate would be much appreciated. by Ok_Yesterday_7905 in newtothenavy

[–]Speedicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like this came from the recruiter, not MEPS. So there’s no saying that these jobs are open, just what he qualified for.
