For those who do take a look at this board heading to API, one tidbit of advise I can give is to get your NMCI account in a timely manner. Some students over the past few months have blown this task off and it has caused issues down the road with follow on training. Every student will have to have a NMCI account in order to recieve squadron emails and will also have to have PKI certificates on their ID card in order to access the Naval Flight Weather Briefer. The current process involves getting your account during A-Pool, so it is in your best interest to not blow this off. Also, if you do get an account early on in A-pool and let it go dormant, that will cause major headaches for you and the people involved in getting you the account, so make sure you log in to a NMCI computer once every couple months while stashed somewhere.
The procedures for getting an account are handed out during check in, so there is not much for anyone to do prior to getting to API.
If you already have an account for whatever reason, MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM!!!! Getting a second account is a show stopper.
