FY20 Oct. 28, 2019 SNA/NFO Board

[cinnamon]

?

There was a point in 2010 where I could have probably spouted off the General Orders and my CoC in my sleep... needless to say, that point has passed. I need to get back to reciting them...

It’s like ridding a bicycle... ? well, let’s hope!

4 years USMC in the infantry

I feel like I'm definitely behind the curve in a few ways but nothing to it but to do it! Hopefully I'll make it with the rest of you!

Glad to see another Jarhead on this board... your numbers look competitive enough, I wouldn't worry too much.

I wonder how prior service (especially from a branch as cult like as the Marine Corps) is viewed by the board. I could really see it going either way...

Same. Im coming from the complete opposite side of the spectrum it seems like so I'm not sure if that will be beneficial or not but we'll see.

Appreciate it, bud. Your numbers look pretty good, as well.

Has anyone on this board completed their physical at NAMI instead of MEPS? Just wondering since I live in Pensacola and doing it on base would beat the 4 hour drive to New Orleans.

My OR scheduled me to go to two different military treatment facilities. I had to meet someone at the office to take me on base to get everything done so you do need to schedule with your OR. I’m based out of Norfolk. But it still took 4 weeks to get approved for unrestricted duty. Missed August board because of it. But I assume that’s much faster than MEPs

I can't answer specifically because I don't know but I would just ask. Kinda like everything else in the military you'll have to make things happen yourself so I'd suggest it to your recruiter or just call the medical facility you want to go to.

At the school I went to, all the students were sworn into the USNR. Since I didn’t finish there, I didn’t commission.
