I believe that my package was submitted Dec. 3rd and I just missed the December board. If the 120 day review period holds true, my package should be seen within the next 2 months. My recruiter seems to think a board will be meeting in early February but someone on another thread was told a board was not meeting in February but March. I'm hoping for February.

I talked to my or and the processor and both seem to think early Feb or middle Feb. I don't know what makes them think that though. What are your stats Connie?

Yes your stats appear to be competitive, depending of course, upon the stats of your competitors. Your GPA fine, OAR above average, ASTB average. Flight hours/experience a plus.:)

*Rolling selection boards are just that... unscheduled. They can meet on short notice, so if you haven't yet submitted, do so ASAP!:eek:

Could you elaborate on 'complex, high performance endorsements'? Like I envision you as having passed check rides in the F/A-18 or F-22!;)

High performance endorsement is required as a civi for aircraft over 200 hp ( still not even close to military hp), complex required for retractable gear, high altitude for over 20,000 I think ( I should know, I did know at one time for check ride).

Thanks!

Is there such a thing as too much flight experience before joining the navy? I am going to school for aviation technology, and anticipate to graduate with a commercial license ~250 hrs, but an officer recruiter once told me that instructors at Pensacola don't like prior flight experience after 150 hours or so, because you pick up bad habits.

There are many conflicting opinions about the value of previous flight time, or the lack thereof, in an aviation applicant package. Having previous GA hrs/PPL/ratings, etc., does not give a significant edge, nor is it considered a negative. Once selected in primary, it may may assist in basic airwork, and help somewhat in basic instruments... as long as you can quickly adapt to NAVY PROCEDURES (some can, some not so much)!

On the plus side, a PPL will allow you to skip the local flight school program (IFS), and start right into API. Also should alleviate any concerns about airsickness.

On the flip side, have a little humility about your flight experience... if you're strutting around the Ready Room like a new Tom Cruise, you'll soon become.. er, unpopular with classmates (and IPs). You don't wannabe "that guy", let your airmanship/flight grades do the talkin' fer ya'!;)
