Finally routing my package

[niktam]

Package has been a long time in the making and am finally getting able to route it through my Chain of Command for any discrepancies with it, before its sent up to the skipper and gets final approval and sent off. All of the legwork has already been done and I wrote something really nice for my CO to start with, hope it all goes well.

Starting to think that getting my diploma was the easy part LOL.

Trying not to build myself up and think I have that GREAT of a chance, don't wanna get crushed.

Good Luck to you =D

 

[niktam]

Thanks.

One thing I have noticed that seems to benifit us active duty guys is that we do all of the physical stuff first making it no so stressful after the pro-rec.

Just a clue: OCS is going to be pretty stressful...

Just Sayin...

Congrats!

oh ya, I'm aware of that, I am referring to not as much up and down once my package is submitted. Because I've already been found qualified for the designator I am applying for, because I have to already do a prt, and a flight physical prior to apping.

Good luck man. Those sound like some good LOR's, those are huge for priors.

This really isn't a good one. Wait for a thread like "help improve my package" or "is my package good enough," those sorts of things.

Or you can just use something like a HUMMER thread, which I swear to God I thought it was not about the car.

With "ASTB 5/5/5/53" you may want to consider SNFO as option two...

 

[niktam]

I thought about that, I work on E-2's tho, i've seen what they do, I don't wanna do that.

What exactly is it that you "don't wanna do" as an NFO?

F/A-18F doesn't suck.

NFO gets the same paycheck and chance at command as a pilot.

 

[niktam]

Yes, thats true... It;s honestly a decision I have been fighting with for a few weeks now... At the end of the day I really just wanna fly..

 

[Schnugg]

Flying is flying...but, it's your call in the end.

 

[niktam]

hrm

The more I read these boards the more I start to believe I am the only person that actually wants to fly helos....LOL

So, as it turns out one of the first class's that just got to my command less than a year ago is routing his OCS package the same week that I am routing mine, sigh. Worse things could happen.
