And a 14 page resume to go along with that?

More is not always better; most packages typically want 3 letters, so pick the strongest ones.

I have the ARCO book and I used the Marine study guide that's floating around this site. There's also a post somewhere with a list of links that had some great info, especially with regard to nautical information. However, I had pretty much all of the material on the ASTB in one form or another in my physics and engineering courses. The only new thing was the spacial apperception section, which just makes sense to me and wasn't really a problem.

I studied for the LSAT in January. The LSAT has very difficult reading comprehension questions, so I was well-prepred for the ASTB reading section.

FAA puplications were good for the aero questions, and I have some sailing experience which helped with the nautical questions.

I was told of a dirtybird who simply filled up his application with around 25 letters of recommendation. A Colonel had to call the office to ask who this guy was cause he didn't know anything about the dude.

Incidentally, the one who told me this, works in the same NRD as Sierra Hotel's application...

I'm out of the running for this board. I'll have to wait until March 07 because I didn't get the drug waiver I was expecting. In March the drug use will have been a year in the past and will not require a waiver. In the meantime I'll be training for the PRT, and try to get some flight hours and maybe one or two more LOR.

Good luck to the rest of you, I'll be back in March.

Any results posted

Does anyone know a relative date when the Oct. results are going to be released? I have talked with my recruiter and he doesn't seem to know? He thought Oct. 30 was the day, but that has come and gone.:eek:
