I thought it would be my drinking that would disqualify me, and I've gotta get my real name off this thread.

If you murder someone in vehicular homicide because of a DUI, yeah that might do it. But casual/social drinking.....no....you do understand that this is Naval Aviation you're trying to join right? The CONA (Centennial of Naval Aviation) Ball this year is an open bar event just as an example.

Another reason why I want to be a part of the club!
How do you think the rest of us got accepted?
back in 2009 when I had my separation physical, medical told me I could not put more than 24 beers a week down for alcohol consumption because I would have to go to alcoholic counseling haha.
I believe the Navy is still pushing the "Right Spirit Campaign" correct if I'm wrong...I always thought it was humorous, "dispelling the stereotype of the drunken sailor"

If my motivational statement had slightly racist undertones do you think I still gotta shot??
The word here in Millington is that the results should be out next week! Like cmcalvert, I too will be at the lake all week with my wife's family practicing binge drinking so I might not get the word right away. I am having one of the OCS guys call me when the results are out, but I don't know about the quality of cell service at the lake so you might want to call your recruiters if you haven't heard anything by Friday. Good luck!

Totally blew it then! I suppose the whole registered sex offender thing didn't help either...probably should of avoided putting that as both my ec options. Guess I'll try air force..

So the NY OR posted a blog today... and even though I take everything he says with a grain of salt (especially since no 2 ORs ever have the same info), his info was that the the FY12 quotas should be ~260 officers for all designators. He pretty much said that nothing will open up until next fall... but you never know. Some guy crunching the numbers could realize he was wrong and they need more officers, or this guy could just be completely wrong. Either way, for those of us who aren't in the August board and are waiting for our next shots, get your shit done ASAP and hope for the best.

Refer to my previous post about worrying about stuff out of your control.
That said, I'm surprised his blog is still up. It seems like the last thing the Navy needs is misinformation spreading through seemingly official sources. As an active duty officer, he probably shouldn't be "guessing" as to the recruiting needs of the Navy, nor when the next boards will be. He should really just stick to providing forms and documents (if anything).
It's one thing if I go into a thread and make a guess about something. You can just brush me off as some random guy. But when an active recruiter does, on a blog that looks like it could be Navy sanctioned, it's dangerous.
