Oh that's pretty solid man. You're definitely in the competitive category. STEM or not that GPA is money.

Thanks man! Though I saw a person get a Pro Rec N on the May board with 8's and a 4.0! Motivational Statement must have a bigger impact than I thought.

Hard to say. Our friendly neighborhood ex recruiters would disagree with the motivational statement being an issue. There could've been other factors they didn't care for. Or he/she was just unlucky.

With your GPA, you can write a single sentence in crayon for your motivational statement, and you'll be fine.

Is it for certain that the next aviation board won't meet until next May?

In nearly all cases where I have seen people with 8 or 9 get denied it was due to other factors where a waiver was involved, I have also seen it where a score was typed into the APSR wrong and was missed.

Unless they update the board schedule

I have seen several with 3-4 sentences that were accepted lol

As a sentimental aside, the weather here in Florida is finally cool enough that I just put on a jacket to head to the gym. Last time the weather was like this I was studying my butt off for the ASTB like it was a full time job. My wife would go out with me at night and read flash cards to me while we walked around the neighborhood or went for a drive. I don’t think I would’ve done as well on the test if it wasn’t for her, and she’s the person that convinced me to look into the navy when the COVID pandemic ended my music career. It’s crazy to think it’s already been that long since I was studying for the exam, and if I get accepted I owe her more than I can even begin to describe for her support and encouragement. This is her dream as much as it is mine.

He could have had other issues like trouble with the law or things like that.

Does it matter what flavor crayon you use for your motivational statement? Asking for a friend.

A marine buddy of mine introduced me to the blue crayola crayon and lemme tell ya… delicious

Only if it’s for the Marines.

This is so damn wholesome. You're really ruining the doom and gloom vibe dude

Just wondering, have 2 SNA/SNFO boards ever been cancelled back to back? Asking because I held off on applying for the May board to study for the ASTB more and now I’m afraid it may bite me in the butt.
