Popping positive for drugs on a urinalysis during the application process would be an instant disqualifier.

my GPA was sub 2.4....not proud of that...but it didn't preclude me from getting wings.

......So, there are people with a 2.4, former coke addiction, arson conviction, and bad credit that are in the pipeline?.....

Hypothetical questions, huh??? From previous experience, one could speculate that you're talking about YOURSELF.

If so ... forget it. You ain't gonna make it. You are toast.

Why the hell do you still not have wings? Who's running this two-bit operation? You're approved, give it 24 hours and let me know if they haven't shown up.

thanks bruddah....

2.65 GPA (1.96 in HS), horrible credit, DUI arrest under my belt. Please notice the wings...

Yeah, but you're a MARINE ... this guy wants to be NAVAL, repeat: NAVAL, Aviation ...

We had to keep the Marines flyin' over the lunch hour --- just so they wouldn't forget how to fly.

They even take ex-Air Force sometimes.

Yep, hyphothetical questions. I graduated with a 3.1 undergrad and a 2.97 grad. Never took an illegal drug in my life. Hadn't had an alcoholic drink in over a year. Never even been tipsy and certainly never been drunk. No convictions but I was expelled from high school activities for fighting. I do have fair credit but 100g debt (because of school).

If that's all true, then I doubt any of those things would be show stoppers.

Then good on 'ya ... and why would you care about a "hypothetical" downside ... ??? You've got good enough stats to make it .... buena suerte, Amigo.

Cuz a 2.97 and a 3.1 aren't that competitive. I'm good when it comes to the criminal stuff but the credit history is what's scaring me. I've skipped monthly payments before; presently, I am all current with my cards but I had a charge off back in 01. Then, you add all of my school loans, I'm worried about how that will reflect.

So, if knowing that there are people will four strikes against them getting on board then I'd feel a heap of a lot better.

Everyone knows that --- i.e., you were a COD driver.

Realize that spotty credit might affect your ability to get a security clearance. You need at least a secret clearance. Depending on what you fly, you might need more. If you can't get a security clearance, you won't fly.

Search security clearance on AW to see the myriad of topics.
