01JUN26 SNA/SNFO board

[MowinThaAir]

No you were just being a child. Act your age. Recruiters are meant to be cut and dry so that there isn't no confusion. That's all there is to it. Sure he may come off a little brash but there's no reason to get your britches in a twist over it

Lol, telling me to act my age when he can’t answer a simple question with his reference? Being cut and dry doesn’t mean he can go on and be intentionally disrespectful to everyone on the site + not give a reason behind his answer.

If he knows better than someone, he can aid them in a productive manner. Otherwise, he shouldn’t respond.

This is so foul haha I’m sorry dude

Did your recruiter about next steps forward? I’d ask them about what to do next because I’ve read that MSc students go to ODS, not OCS, so maybe that’s why there’s the issue? Dunno. I’d maybe try to pause the degree if you can? If some sort of hiatus system exists within your educational institution

Is ODS even still a thing? I thought they were transitioning everyone to OCS so they can be ‘warfighters’.

My recruiter told me he can fight for me in the next boards but nothing can be done now.
It is for SNA, so I’ll be going to OCS only
So I can take a LOA for the fall semester, but they are saying I need to exit the program before my application can be considered

Isn't paperwork so much fun when it gets in the way?

yeah man
I submitted for the May board in February but this did not happen last time. I do not understand

My recruiter submitted my package anyway with the Leave of absence note.
If they send my packet through I will take a LOA for the fall immediately

Fair enough, I’m about to head out to enjoy my weekend anyways. But someone had to speak up about his constant entitlement. He comes on here for the thrill of putting down others on a daily basis.

I am generally a very easy going person but this needs to be said. There are many people on here that are senior officers, some are active, some are retired, in most cases people don't know who is or who isn't so you need to remember that.

You are joining the military, when a senior officer or any officer above you gives you an answer, you are not entitled to an explanation in most circumstances. It can be not pretty when a person pushes for an explanation after being told an answer (I have seen and/or heard these "conversations" and you don't want to be involved) especially when it is something so not important as a tattoo, take the answer and move on.

I can respect being given an answer, and following what is told to me. But when someone asks you for further clarification, you can provide your reference/reasoning instead of just repeating “yes” or “no” without the explanation.

I am not in the military yet. This is a public forum, and questions are encouraged. If you feel that you don’t need to explain an answer, that’s your choice, but don’t get upset with people when they ask for the reason behind the answer.

You are not in the military yet, which is why you especially need to shut the f*** up here. Otherwise you are going to have a very painful time at OCS and carry along a "reputation" you don't want to have throughout your Navy career, if you actually make it that far.

You have been told by multiple people, not including me, to let it go - but you simply feel compelled to give the last word.

Please let go of the "you give harsh/rude answers" argument when you asked a very simple question and was given a very simple response. It was your choice to completely turn a discussion into an argument and resisting any sort of feedback given.

Quite a turn in your demeanor there. If you can’t have a civil discussion without censoring yourself on a forum, then you should reevaluate your contribution to the forum as a whole.

You, as a former recruiter, are meant to be a resource, not a pure critic. OCS can weed people out, but you are not here for that (at least one would hope). You couldn’t answer a simple question without hurling insults, as you have done repeatedly in the past, and that is fully on you.

If you had anything helpful to say, I’d be all ears. But you have proven time and time again that you would rather put others down than help them, and that says a lot.

I’m tired of going back and forth with someone who has nothing better to do than wait for someone to insult. You’ve been told by people for YEARS that your contributions to posts/questions online are either rude or unhelpful. It’s not an “argument.” You had the opportunity to be helpful from the start, but you didn’t.

Apologies if I hurt your ego by calling your behavior out on this forum. You should know better than to be demeaning toward those looking to commission. I know plenty of people who have served/are serving, and none of them would act act as you have. I look forward to OCS, commissioning, and a career in the Navy, regardless of what you think.

Just a friendly admin note: Time to take a break. Sassing off or giving attitude to those that are trying to help, is a bit uncalled for. Especially those that have BTDT. If you don’t like someone’s response, move on.

While AirWarriors may be just another forum to you, most of us still have reach and influence in the service. Consider your PUBLIC interactions here, your first test. So far, you’re not doing well. Check your attitude at the door…a little humility goes a long way.

My calling him out is not sassing off or giving attitude. He could have provided a resource, but instead insisted on saying “no” without any actual information. That is not “trying to help.”

And as I said, I can respect an answer, and doing what is told to me. What I will not tolerate is someone being blatantly disrespectful without reason, as he has done to myself and others. This started with a simple question, to which a simple reference could have been given, but it wasn’t. I will not let him walk over me simply because he has time in service.

If you think my responses are indicative of an attitude, then hold him to the same standard. I’ve seen time after time users complain about his demeanor, yet nothing has been said about it.

Having experience does not mean one can stand above others. Again, the people on this forum are meant to be resources, not critics. If you want to be helpful, be helpful.
