Saw the November 2021 group is recently posting about how they are still waiting for ship dates. That's well... concerning.

Yeah seems to be plenty of people over there who have yet to receive an OCS date. Year and a half wait so far, it's crazy

Atleast for the enlisted ones, they will get O1E. If you want to be positive

In regards to aviation I had applicants with family ties to Vietnam, Russia, and various other countries that could be considered countries of concern and none had any issue.
I have had applicants that were going for Nuke or IWC designators that had ties to those countries and were denied, such as mom and dad were green card holders.

Yea but I get O1E whether I wait 3 days or 3 years to ship for OCS haha

I’m at 3 years May4 and as much as I want to go asap if I get accepted. I wouldn’t mind not graduating OCS until May5 2024. That’s how it works, right?

You get prior enlisted pay if you have completed four years of enlisted service prior to commissioning.

I figured, well as much as I want to go, it doesn’t hurt the fact that you’re making a larger amount every month. No it’s not about the money, but it makes the wait a little better.

More money never hurts. O1E is nice but then when you get to O3E plus time in service the money really starts flowing. I'm looking at getting into real estate because I don't know what I'll do with all the extra income and it seems like a good long term investment.

I couldn’t agree more. Especially with already having 4+ years under your belt, then the 4 years that it will take to get to O3E putting you at almost 10 years in service and then factor in the pay raise every year and BAH. Definitely best to do something with that extra money

Just don't be that person that gobbles up properties then raises the rent 1:1 with BAH/BAS increases even though you're only paying marginally more for tax each year... Looking at you, Oak Harbor.
I have multiple peers who are dual passport holders with most of their family being foreign. One even held 3.
Another couple of folks who are married to foreigners.
Declare it. Your clearance will take longer, but it will be fine.

When I was in Maryland we had 5 of us in a 5BR house paying 500 a month in rent which more than covered the mortgage so the owner was pocketing cash and we all made 2200 a month in BAH. We called it the frat house. Would like to do something similar in Pensacola.
