JAN/FEB/MAR 2014 Rolling SNA and SNFO Boards

[brogdawg32]

I'm confident that it has from the fact that my recruiter always declined to say anything about rumors. Whenever I would ask hey some people heard this date, he would say it's just rumors I'll let you know if I have concrete details. He's also been very adamant about how he's going to get me into this board and positive thinking, etc.

Last night he said I missed it and we're for sure going to make the April one. Said something about an email being sent to all the recruiters, and he would see if a March board was likely.

I'd say it's safe to assume they met this week. More often than not no one would say it's happening at all if it wasn't. I think the bad info is that it's not happening

All as in just your station or all as in if my recruiter hasn't heard something by tomorrow he either doesn't check his email or people don't talk to him?

I think maybe just our station. He mentioned who the info came from but I kind of missed who he said. Said like Chief or something like that, I missed the rest.

Well I guess either way it doesn't matter for me just the ones on the cuff of submitting in time. Now that we have some solid news I can go watch top gun and get pumped.

Next week is definitely going to screw with our minds.

 

[Mr Spenz]

Ok so nfo is still fair game though.

Yes as long as you don't have something medically that can put in a non-flying status.

Out of curiosity, what additional test does the OCS full flight physical have compared to the ones at Meps?

They extract vitreous fluid out of your eye with a large needle to screen for the aforementioned cooties.

 

[Dangy]

That can't be right, she told that she was clean. Kinda like how the ORs said the board is meeting in March/April.

You have a real eye exam from a navy ophthalmologist. They do a chest X-ray, urine, blood, anthro measurements. You get an actual physical (think real doctors, not MEPS). There was more but I don't remember it all. I do remember the eye doctor dilating my eyes so much that I still couldn't see straight the next day.

Aviation Physicals scrutinize every little thing; every injury, surgery, sickness, or possible deformity. Those that get picked up will get very familiar with the "NAMI Whammy". Not only do we go through it to become aircrewmen, there have been cases of enlisted aircrew that have failed to pass the NAMI whammy after commission. Just remember to stay positive and get very familiar with Navy's instructions involving qualifications for the program you are striking for.

It also depends on one's personal medical history. Me personally I never had any surgeries/broken bones and was never diagnosed for ADD/ADHD. People with such medical histories could have extra appointments with specialists. I for one had an irregular EKG and admitted I had a heart murmur at birth so I had to have a stress test (24 hr monitor of your heart with physical activity), an Echo and Cardiac MRI all of which came back negative.

 

[headinclouds]

I forgot to mention that. I had PRK, so I guess that's why I had the extensive eye exam.
