24MAY2021 Pilot/NFO Board

[WannaFlyHigh]

I just opened the Google excel doc for the first time in a while and damn, a lot of good scores/gpas in there. Gonna be a competitive board if you ask me.

 

[villo0692]

yeah, but half aren't even submitted yet

 

[WannaFlyHigh]

I'd say a good portion will be in by next week

 

[Mike D.]

Thanks for reminding me to update lol.

Kit supposedly submitted last week

My recruiter is still sitting on mine. Always says the same thing when I check in, that he’s working on it and it should be done soon. I text and call him enough that I’m probably skirting to the line where he tells me to ? off lol. My hope is it’s done and submitted by next week. It wouldn’t be the end of the world, but I would be very disappointed if I got pushed out to the August board.

How do we feel about the change from situps to planks. Easier or harder to train for?

Is this a confirmed change in training? Also if it is do you know the sat med or sat high for the time?

I believe they're both the same difficulty wise, but some people cheated a lot when counting their partner's sit ups....(1,2,3,7,13,19,23,28...), with the plank I'm sure this is avoided

 

[Ghost SWO]

It's for sure planks now. Depends on what phase of OCS you're in. It starts at Sat med, then goes to sat high, then good low. There is a final PRT at the end that is your official and recorded PRT which goes back to sat med requirements.

I'd argue planks should be easier, assuming an individual is exercising and doing pushups there shouldn't be any need to really practice planks.

Does someone have access to the current PRT chart? Or even just what our Mins are when we show up? When I look it up I find like 3 or 4 different versions lol

 

[Mouselovr]

100000% harder but it’s Bc I hate planks. Just my 2 cents.
i find it really hard to build time on planks versus I can build reps/speed in no time with crunches.

I think the planks are a lot easier, it’s really a mental game. It does suck to run after you’ve held an actual solid plank for 4 minutes though. Your calves get a solid pump and you definitely feel it during the run. I’d recommend really stretching them out in the 10 minutes you have between the two events.
