31OCT22 SNA/SNFO BOARD

[FloridaDad]

Cranking was the fucking worst. Do not recommend.

For the initiated, can you translate? lol

Basically when you're a new airman/seaman/fireman and you go to the ship for the first time whether you're stationed on it or visiting (in my case I was in a VFA squadron so we hop on for DET and cruises) they donate you off to some part of the ship doing the shitty work. It's usually in the galleys or in the waste rooms. It's not fun but its pretty much a requirement. You basically become a slave somewhere for like 90-120 days until your squadron remembers you exist and get you back.

I really hope this board doesn't get canceled. Here's hoping we all make it to Newport soon.

I wonder what John Paul Jones would think about airplanes in general, or the fact that we launch them off ships.

I had to DOR out of the OCS program this past week while here and reapply for pilot again to come back in a year due to some crazy medical issues that happened here. How long have most of you been waiting for OCS SNA/NFO slots to be accepted?

Sorry to hear that. We’re you essentially NAMI whammied? or is this a separate issue that came up after the flight physical?

Speaking of getting NAMI whammied, assuming I even get that far, is there anything I can do to avoid getting NAMI whammied? I think i'm in pretty good shape just coming off a 4 year college soccer career but I wear glasses/contacts with a really mild prescription/refractive error (correctable to 20/20).

NHCNE can also flat NPQ you while you're still in indoc.

Nothing you can really do to avoid it. If there’s an issue, they will find it. To be fair though,
Not a lot of ppl get DQ’d

Naval health clinic new england

But they do not have final say in what happens to you. Only NAMI does so keep that in mind.

I wasn’t but my recruiter said that he is going to ask for an age waiver now that the delay is inevitable. I’m not 32 yet so it doesn’t apply to this board but it will come in to play for OCS.
