Evening,

I am currently enlisted with my degree and want to go OCS. I plan on taking my OAR this year and want to become either IP, MCWO or Intel. Any advice. Also if I am not going into aviation or other commissioning programs what should I study. Everything including the sims?

If you’re not doing anything aviation, just study for the OAR (math, mechanical comprehension, and reading). The gouge folders around here should have plenty of material. The ASTB is only for aviation applicants, so you won’t have to take it.

Haven't seen you in a minute. Hope all is well.

Well, I was scheduled to take the test today but apparently the system that administers the test isn't working. My recruiter even reached out to some of the IT guys and he said the issue may becoming from pensacola and is probably affecting other tests takers. Was anyone also scheduled to take the test today and were you able too? It's frustrating tbh, especially since I drove and hour there lol, but it's literally out of my control.

Seems to be snowing quite a bit down in Florida, so what my recruiter said seems to check out.

Inclement weather in Pensacola (where the servers are) seems to impact the exam. It’s been that way for at least several years.

Hello all,

Taking my ASTB on 1/22 (this Wednesday), any last minute tips, $0.02, or advice anyone would like to give?
For reference, my practice exam scores have all been around 88-95%, UAV is around 98%, and TID is 80% on the app but I can probably get that better in the next couple days. I've been doing flashcards nightly. Not sure what else to implement into the study plan except, do more practice problems and such but anything will help.

Thanks,

Laam

Make sure you go in with confidence that you will do well.

Hey guys. Finally got my x52s working on the Jantzen sim. I cannot get it to go full screen though. Pressing F11 doesn't work. Any ideas?

how did you get it to work? I've been having issues using it on the prep app, my computer is outded so I couldn't download the app, then I used open core patcher to update my IOS and now the app crashes every time I try to open the sticks sim.
