I've been reading some threads to learn more about what they do and someone gave some examples, although the thread was really old. "Legal Officer, AIO, AIS, CSD, Line Officer, Power Plants Officer, Strike Officer, Tactics Officer, Pubs Officer, Hosting Officer, ESO." So on top of being a...

Hello, I am a RN and have been working with a recruiter on my application for a Navy Officer reserve position. She informed me that there are no med/surg or critical care billets available and I would have to wait until next year or go active. I cannot go active due to my job, spouse (her life...

Hello all, I enlisted in the Navy last year with the hopes of becoming a SEAL. Long story short, it did not work out the way I intended. Now I am on to my next goal; OCS. I seek to earn a commission in Intelligence. With that being said, I have a few questions. I have purchased an OAR study...

Just dropped my letter to give it a go in the civilian world and am considering the mysterious USNR (SELRES, not FTS). My main reason for resigning is general family/life stability (i.e. looking to live a fairly normal life with the wife and kids close to extended family). Anyone have any info...

I am 28 years old next month and graduate college in the Fall. I will probably have around a 3.0 GPA which I know isn’t great but, there’s not much I can do to raise it at this point. I am prior service Army National Guard (15Y) and have been a Private Investigator for going on 5 years...

As a current college student I want to go through OCS and get out in 4 or 5 years. Is there a large market for good paying civilian jobs if I do SWO? I want to get into psychology or business later on in my life , what communities or jobs would be good to do in the navy?

Hey, let's say I wanna be a pilot in the navy (or any other branch) and I don't have a bachelors degree. I do have a degree that is generally considered on par or more advanced than a bachelor, like a foreign M.D (but licensed in the US), which is in most countries an undergrad degree. Could I...

Hi All, 26 y/o here who is seriously considering joining the Navy as an officer. I went to college and currently work in the defense industry and have had this urge to serve in the military for a few years now. I keep putting it off and now I think I’m too old to do what I’d like to but not...

I've been a lurker of this site for awhile and am just curious if anyone has any input/experience with biochemistry careers in the Navy. I will have my MS in Biochem in about a year or so and I want to have my next move planned before I graduate. I found some information on the Navy's website...

Hello everyone! I am 31, have been in the Navy for almost 13 years, E-5, and am finally fully convinced to apply for an Officer Program. I am currently researching and preparing my package for the STA-21 IP/Core Program options. I am looking for insight on those specific designations. Anyone...

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on podcasts or audiobooks that are strictly educational and aimed towards completing OCS and also the Naval Pilot Program. I saw there were a lot of suggestions about overall improvement (money plant, art of manliness, joe rogan experience, how I...

Since we're about three months out, I thought I'd start this board. Checking in for this. Packets are due April 6th.

All, I'm a currently a high school junior who has been thinking quite some time about a career in the Navy with ROTC. However, like most high schoolers, I'm not exactly sure what I want to do or how long. Ever since I was little I always loved flying and I think it would amazing to go into...

I'm creating a new thread because the stickied threads don't seem to be getting a lot of recent traffic. Also I have scoured the forum for the answer to my question with no luck. I spent 6 years on AD in the Navy with an honorable discharge blah blah. Claimed several items on my VA disability...

Hey, My GPA right now in college is not so great. I think it is at a 2.8 or so. Do I have to have a certain GPA before I can even be considered to go in as an officer? Or do you think if I can do well enough on the OAR/ASTB they will overlook my GPA? My other thought was this... If I don't...

Hi everyone, I have read several threads here over the last year or so. I just today set up an account to ask for some input from you all. It would be really great to hear from those with particularly recent experience with becoming a USMC NFO. Of course, any advice and info would help...

Does anyone know the quotas for Intel or Metoc communities the Navy is trying to fill for 2016?

Hello, I'm pursuing a Navy commission but I currently hold a Dual Citizenship from the US and UK. I was previously enlisted in the US Air Force and it was never a problem since dual citizenship is allowed (for enlisted), but that is not the case for Officers. I'm prepared to renounce the UK...

Hi all, I have been thinking of joining the Navy for over a year now. I applied for active-duty OCS in my senior year in college, went through MEPS, but did not get selected. Now that I graduated from a 4 year university and have a steady full-time banking job, I have to take care of my family...

Is a masters in cyber security relevant to trying to commission into the navy or navy reserve? I have a bachelors in biology with a minor in computer information systems but my GPA does not stack up too well I believe, as it is low. I plan on starting this program in the summer and want to see...

Hello all, I am currently in the process of applying to be a Navy intelligence officer. My recruiter was straight up with me and warned me that my chances of getting intel are fairly low, given the nature of intelligence and the fact that I have no prior military experience. I have a B.A. in...

Good morning all, Proud to say that I swore into the Navy yesterday! Going SNA, starting OCS in a few weeks. I've spent the last hour looking for an answer here on AW, but can't get recent information for my question. My recruiting office must not be so familiar with aviation candidates, since...

Hello Everyone, Last night my recruiter dropped the bomb on me that I had been disqualified for SNA because I didn't score high enough on the Depth Perception test. This was pretty baffling to me but I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's not a mistake of some kind and try to move forward. I've...
