NAMI Whammied
So I just got NAMI whammied due to childhood asthma. Extremely disappointed and honestly just sad. I discovered I had covid during the flight physical and have medical professionals backing this up because my wife had a positive covid test soon after I got back from the physical. They say this...

My recruiter told me the exact same thing. If it is really that long, I might have to pick up a instructor job to stay Proficient on my stick and rudder skills. Wasn’t planning on the wait to be this long after I graduated and don’t like instructing much. But flying out of pocket is getting expensive.

I wouldn't worry too much on that part, I'd focus mostly on preparing physically, and studying bravo. I just got my first letter back from my buddy at OCS right now and he said to know bravo Verbatim before showing up. Otherwise you're gonna struggle. Also, he said to run regularly inside/ and outside not just on a treadmill and do mostly HIIT workouts that get your heartrate up. Aside from that if you have flight experience prior to NIFE / Primary I'd say it's a bonus, however they are gonna train us to fly the Navy way. Therefore, going in with a blank mindset about your prior knowledge flying civilian and ready to learn THEIR WAY is key.
Remember gotta get through OCS to even get into a plane

I spoke to someone who graduated OCS last week. He said they are putting all SNAs on a 3 month OHARP before even entering the student pool in Pensacola at the moment. His OCS advice is in line with what your friend said. HIIT, pushups, V-ups, and runningI wouldn't worry too much on that part, I'd focus mostly on preparing physically, and studying bravo.

If it isn't mandatory, is there a benefit of doing it versus not?

Hey everyone, learned I got picked up for a pilot slot on December 4 of 2021, but my recruiter didn't know when my class date was. Just talked to her yesterday and found out I'm going to be in this class so I thought I would join the thread. A little about me: I spent my first two years of college in NROTC but didn't get the scholarship so I couldn't continue with the program. However it was very nice to gain experience in drill, wearing uniforms, customs and courtesies, and learning about general naval knowledge and history. After NROTC I went through meps and enlisted as an AO to make my officer package look better and spent about 6 months in DEP before I finally heard back on my application. Now I'm in the COP for the Pacific Northwest. Anyway, I look forward to talking to you all and becoming part of the community that will be taking part in class 7-23, a nice vacation in the dead of Rhode Island winter. ?

Couldn't find a group for the Oct 16, 2022 (05-23) class on AW. Anyone know if that class has a thread or group chat already?

Not sure if they have one. Make sure you check facebook or post in the August 21' SNA/SNFO Board forum to see if anyone has made a group/ groupme
