Goodjob on escaping the Nuke life. Super happy for you. Can you post your stats?Hey guys. Active duty ETN1 here selected for NFO. Currently on recruiting duty. Looking forward to meeting people. 👍🏻
What do you mean by stats?Goodjob on escaping the Nuke life. Super happy for you. Can you post your stats?
There's not enough anecdotes of Nukes escaping to non-nuke officers. Especially while active duty.
On here, it means a broad range of info, which you can choose to reveal if you want.What do you mean by stats?
I am not in this class, but I do have a question for you. I just got lasik a month ago, I'm seeing 20/15 with no complications and stable vision. I don't even have dry eyes. Do I still need to wait 6 months to apply for a waiver?Hey y'all, took 8 months but finally got my OCS date for SNA and will be there with y'all.
Hoping to find a house/flatmate for our time in Pensacola, heard there's a 3ish month wait right now. Currently in Dallas, I'd like to go to CC(Corpus) for my training, but I'm excited to check out Pensacola to see if it's worth staying there for all the flight schools.
Undergrad -chemical engineering
Masters- biomedical engineering with a thesis/multiple publications on a Martian life support device I helped design.
GPA 3.8
OAR -58
ASTB 7/7/7 (should've studied more, but still instant qual) didn't need LORs but I had 3, 2 from active duty members, one from my graduate advisor.
I'm coming in with no prior service or flight experience, had to get LASIK on my own dime before they would let me in.
Currently, they are accepting civilian doctor's results on depth perception, good news if they screw up your test at MEPS like they did mine and so many others. They are also approving LASIK waivers way quicker now, my OR told me it was a new admiral that is pushing through LASIK SNA packages without waiting for 2+months of vision stability (or 6 months for the no waiver)
IF you're someone who wants SNA but have uncorrectable vision worse than 20/100, don't give up. I got LASIK financed for 0% over 24 months and my recruiter got me the SNA no problems. It's worth the 130$ a month!

would there be any benefit over just waiting the 6 months? I won’t even be eligible to go to board until next May.Your recruiter may be able to submit the paperwork, but you probably will have to wait the 4-6 months.
Hey there, so like I said in my post, I JUST did the LASIK waiver. My recruiter submitted my paperwork and it got approved less than 1 month post operation. You may get a delayed entry, but with a waiver before this new expedited waiver process, you only needed 2 1-month post opp appointments to get the waiver. Waiting 6+ months after LASIK actually bypasses a waiver entirely now.I am not in this class, but I do have a question for you.

My procedure was early May, so 3 months for me, and we tried getting me into the June classes, but they were full.Your recruiter may be able to submit the paperwork, but you probably will have to wait the 4-6 months.
Welcome and congratulations!Hey y'all, took 8 months but finally got my OCS date for SNA and will be there with y'all.
