I was an NFO select and am currently at OCS. Got med DQed for an eye condition and trying to fight it. From what I’ve seen, aviation selects are dropping like flys for medical stuff. I don’t know what the normal amount is for a class but every aviation guy is waiting to hear back on something and student pool has over 100 aviators just waiting right now. We are being told that everything is super backed up. There are guys that have to wait until next May for medical appointments to get cleared. So if you get here be prepared to wait a few months in student pool and think about now if you would consider redesignating. Command is pushing hard to have people redes. Also, jobs like intel are filled up until next fiscal year so your redes options are probably SWO or supply. I strongly recommend that you expect to need a wavier for something and ask yourself if you want to just fly or be a navy officer.

Also, Could be bad gouge but I have heard rumors allegedly from the XO that they are shortening the program to 10 weeks next year for what that’s worth.

From my personal experience, if there's a will, there's a waiver. I've told this story a few times, but very few people gave me a chance when it was my time to fight for my waivers, but my surgeons went to bat for me and they helped me come out on top.

Keep in mind, there is a very real chance it doesn't work out, but don't let that keep you down. Just keep trucking along and it'll work itself out.

The temperature for waivers can change like the wind, we would see flight school drops come through our District on the way out that could have been given a waiver but weren't but those just a few months before were and it mystified them. The entire pipeline from OCS until fully qualified can be like that, we had people in OCS that had to redesignate from aviation and sometimes it was pick anything you want, then the next month you had 2 options SWO or go home.

Never take anything for granted.

I'm glad nothing has changed since I was in student pool last year lol

I definitely spent most of the day playing Zelda TOTK in my room or walking around on the track. One of my friends worked in the N4 office and she managed to get a TV in her hatch 🤣

When I was in student pool this one dude had a 70 inch TV in his room. It was hilarious to walk by and see him sitting inches away from his giant tv

grinding Black Ops 6 Camo Grind and collecting Pokemon Cards🫡 got a total value worth of about 1.5k at the moment. Dynasty will slowly grow

Black Ops 6 looks awesome! Do cards from the 90s have much value? I think I have a few Pokemon cards from that time that'll be worth a can of zyns.
