OCS 02Nov20 SNA/SNFO (Pilot/NFO) Board

Interesting though completely useless theoretical tidbit I found: holding all things equal, you technically could have an microscopically tiny amount of lift generated with 0 AoA on symmetrical wings by virtue of fluid (air) being less dense on the top wing (less pressure) as there is incrementally a tinier portion of atmosphere pressing down.

Glad it helped.

That's funny. So technically if a wing is 6" deep it would have a difference of .0005" of Hg pressure from the top to bottom, which yeah would be a microscopic effect on lift lol! A small boost to the creation of lift, however small. That is an interesting concept, typically very large wings produce more lift, which would be aided by the higher pressure differences between the top and bottom at the cost of additional drag. That's somewhat fascinating to think about with wing design through history, something they probably never though about.

How to Succeed in Navy Flight School (By Really Trying)

The skills and attributes needed not just to get through Navy flight school, but also to perform well.

In case some of you haven't seen this, it is a good read.

The professional board doesn't see anything medical.

Oh wait then. So it’s possible to get a pro rec and have a binder full of waivers and what not? As in they can pro rec you if you ultimately have no chance of getting in Due to vision or something else big?

I guess I’m confused on the actual selection process.

before the board N3M has to give a PQ letter which means based on the medical info they have rec'd they have a belief that you meet the physical requirements for the designator you are going for.

That clears it up thank you. I have a document explaining the process somewhere but I couldn’t find it.

it makes me even more curious when high scores don’t make it and some very low scores do.

Yo there is a great airshow over Rome Georgia this weekend anyone going?

Quick question for the prior service guys that are AD. How did you submit your transcripts? I ordered mine and had them sent to me. Can I add them to my package like that or do i need to take them to the ESO to "verify" them?

Your admin Department should have someone with a stamp along the lines of "certified true copy", with a line underneath where your certified persons signs. All the packages I used for templates (all confirmed Pro-Y) had that or something along those lines. As a note though, if you admin isn't trusting you'll more than likely have to give them the sealed transcripts still in the envelope from your university.

My OR requested official transcripts sent directly to him.

I imagine they do the same thing and have authority through NRC.

We had a stamp and could have the applicant print them off from the schools website in our office, then we would stamp them, most don't have that luxury now of just going into an office.

Thank you! I will just take the unopened envelope to them when it arrives.

Im active duty so I don't have an OR and the whole process is slightly different.

Gotcha, I've been through the process on the AD side and now civilian side. My comment was more to mean that there needed to be an official process like exNavyOfficerRec and Jonesy27 have stated for certifying the transcripts authenticity. I just avoided that potential problem by having my transcripts addressed to specific individuals in my chain of command, and now the OR. ?
