11JUL17 Pilot/NFO board

[Skywalker]

The entire thing is in my package with all the info, I wouldn't think about not telling my OSO or NRC.

If they're ever going to learn about it, they should learn about it from you. Plus, if you hide anything blackmail-worthy from them and get commissioned anyways, you might earn yourself some Chinese, Farsi, or Russian-speaking friends.

Hey again, I wanted to know if anyone has an idea of how a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge and subsequent waiver affect my application. This was 3 years ago while in university, immediately after completing probation I transferred out of state to a different school to get away from old influences and begin again. I wrote this in my waiver explanation paragraph. Im having a hard time finding info to a case similar to mine.

If you weren't going for aviation I would say you were probably done, but aviation can be more forgiving, however your scores are kind of low, so study and hope for the best.

Define "skills" before you dig yourself into a deep hole with the NFOs on this thread...

When I say skills, I mean Pilot is a very specific skill that translate to pilot in the civilian sector, whereas NFO, you have multiple skills, but not necessarily translates to one very specific identifiable skill like pilot, if that makes any sense.

True, but in the end you still have leadership and program management experience that will bode well in the civilian sector. Met a former NFO who got accepted to a top 25 MBA program working in Wall Street.

I have run into many former military pilots that after leaving the service went into non-flying jobs, mainly because of the greater pay.

I'm curious if this is because there was a charge involved or if it's that strict simply for doing drugs at all in the past?

OAR - 49
AQR - 5
PFAR - 7
FOFAR - 6
BS - Criminal Justice

looking at some of your unbelievable, almost borderline cheating scores, i'm expecting a firm No this go around. Hopefully prior enlisted has some weight to it to counteract my averageish scores. Still hoping for the best though!

Good luck everyone!

Prior service doesn't matter. The boards might take a look at your Evals to see if you've been NJP'd or something serious of that matter.
