question

Hello everyone, I am seeking a commission through NOCS in the intel or supply communities and am wondering if there is anything my letter writers should focus on other than general academic ability, work ethic and patriotism. Additionally, I feel I have some strong writers but am wondering how...

Hello this is my first time posting so I apologize if this is the wrong thread. So currently I am in my first year at a college with no nrotc so right now my plan is to apply to ocs when the time comes. Some officer recruiters came to our school and recommended that I take calculus and I was...

Hi all, I hope that I'm not posting in the wrong area. I looked around quite a bit and this looked like the best place to put my question. Basically, I'm looking for some advice on how best I should handle a transition into the Naval aviation pipeline after I am enlisted. I'll give a bit of...

Hey all. I’m 17. I’ve recently started thinking about enlisting and following my childhood dream of being a naval aviator. I realized I wouldn’t be able to pay for my college at all so I decided to rethink my decision on staying out of the military. Trying to get some advice on what I should...

Hello all, I'm in the final stages of completing my OCS packet and my recruiter just informed me that MEPS did not conduct a required depth perception test when I went in for my medical exam. My recruiter recommended that I do not go back to MEPS to complete the depth perception test, and...

Title, just wondering why y’all decided on this path. Was it a dream? Was it the benefits that sold you? What brought you to this career path?

For context, I do planespotting and aviation photography. I recently was at my airport, KCOS/Peterson AFB and I saw some F/A-18Es. My pictures weren’t super detailed on the markings but I saw that they were both from VFA-24, which is pretty odd considering VFA-24 dissolved in the 90’s and never...

I heard OCS can guarantee a pilot slot unless something is found that you can qualify, is this true? I may just save my money about getting my PPL since the Navy doesn’t really care about it. I’m really passionate about Naval Aviation and I’m very determined to fly jets, let me know if there’s...

I’m trying to create a list of the steps that people have taken to become a naval aviator. While becoming an aviator may not be something you can just turn into a list, if anyone is able to kinda turn their journey into a list, I would love to hear it. So far, I’ve written down: 1. private...

I applied for the September IWC board, my package was received and I was "medically cleared" to participate in the board. The board however, was subsequently cancelled and pushed to the already scheduled date of 04DEC2019 with a package due date of 18OCT2019. By that time I will have a new EVAL...

Pretty simple question really but something I have been thinking about lately. How do you respond when someone asks you what you do for a living? Do you tell them you are a Naval Aviator or a Student Naval Aviator? Why? Why not? How do you respond to follow on questions?

I graduated from college last year and I started the my application for Navy OCS in the beginning of my senior year. It took me a while to decide what I wanted to do as initially I applied for aviation but didn't do good on the ATSB and changed my mind to Intel. So far I have filled out most of...

Hey all- I am a new member to Air Warriors, but I have been following some threads for a while now. My fiancé is currently at OCS in RI. Some posts online said that a phone card should be brought with them prior to starting OCS. We did not even think of this and he didn't bring one. My...

I had a conversation recently with my recruiter. He decided to look into vision requirements for unrestricted line officers after I informed him that I was open to seeking a commission as a SWO. I already took the ASTB-E (and have fairly competitive scores with my GPA), plan on going to MEPS, am...
