Let the waiting begin... Good luck everyone!
MEPS is a general military entrance physical, no more, the USN doesn't do any flight physicals before OCS.
When exactly is the flight physical done?
You have one the second or third day of OCS and another one shortly after reporting to Pensacola ( I believe it's done while you are in A-pool).
Has anyone made SNA with my similar ASTB scores? I got a 5/7/4/ 49. That math section was tough. I applied for the March boards with a 3.0 GPA in cyber security with 9 years active duty.
If it is submitted it will be seen by all, it sounds as if the NRD you are going thru is trying to get every application credit they can by waiting for PQ letters.
Yeah, maybe. It was submitted with the IDC board, so I guess they were hoping the PQ letter would come in time for the SWO deadline. So, if it does come between now and the March board meeting, will it be submitted to them then or what happens to it? Either way, I'm hoping to get picked up on IDC so I don't have to worry about this.
NavyOffRec, how long does it take someone to get processed and get their processing signed off? My recruiter said I was not able to get in on this board because he couldn't get me processed in time. I asked the friday before the first 1st of February when I could process and he said not enough time to get it all signed off on. Is this correct? Can you not get processed and signed off within say 3-4 days???? I honestly think he didn't submit me this time around because I was still waiting to go to MEPS and he wanted to get credit for me.
Also, when did they take out the PRT from the package?
The time depends on the NRD and how much the recruiter does, by the book the recruiter does little and the processor does most, but either way the 3-4 days could be a stretch even thought I did make it work, it has to go from the recruiter to the processor for review, then to the OACR/OPS for review and signature then back to the processor for upload. I also could be that he just wanted to wait for MEPS.
The PRT was removed several years ago after a kid in San Diego died during the PRT.

"Aviation Machinist’s Mate Airman Kody Faragher, 19, was assigned to amphibious assault ship Peleliu and had joined crew members that morning for the exercise portion of the physical readiness assessment, said Lt. Cmdr. Dave McKinney, an Expeditionary Strike Group 3 spokesman at Naval Base San Diego.
Faragher was running the PRT when he “just collapsed,” McKinney said. A chief hospital corpsman who was nearby ran over and “she immediately started administering CPR.”
Emergency medical technicians arrived at the scene and tried to resuscitate him, “but he was unresponsive,” he said.
Faragher was taken to a local trauma hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival, McKinney said. An autopsy and toxicology tests were conducted but no results were yet available. Temperatures were comfortable that day of the PRT, he said.
According to an obituary on Legacy.com and in The Press of Atlantic City, N.J., Faragher suffered a cardiac arrest."
