It is in your best interest to get the weight down. Take it from a guy who has lost a total of 22 lbs to get well within the safe area of the standard.

Man those are some good stats except the body fat. Your hovering at or over the approved set for males I believe. Better get yourself on some paleo diet routine and some jogging (which you should be doing anyway). Would suck to be held back from leaving for OCS because of % of body fat.
I'm no pro but look into it.

They are going to do a GPA calc from all your entire college career. I have three different colleges etc that they had to do. I heard you needed at least a 2.5 but closer to a 3.0 to be competitive. Don't worry though my GPA was low however I scored high on the ASTB/flight, 14 LOR's every branch of Mil. and 4 professional, previous college athletic and global professional business leadership etc. GPA is just one part but you better have something to back up that lack luster GPA.

Yes my OR told me of 2.6-2.7 but the 2.6 had a hand written LOR from a Seal team 6 commanding Vice Admiral lol.

True. I was over the weight for my height but am built with low body fat. I passed the body fat.

I've fixed them, now I fly them!
To distract myself I watch Full Metal Jacket and An Officer and A Gentleman. These movies take my mind completely off OCS and the military in general. If you catch yourself thinking about what may happen or you get anxious just put a Blue ray, DVD, or VHS of these movies, you will instantly feel better!!!!

Running is great for that.
Well, I wish you had killed the particular bird that decided to take a shit on my shoulder today while I was out for a run....

No but having a few key lors from respected individuals who can directly attest to your performance is great...I happened to have a division chief while i was active duty who is now a command master chief at a high profile command who wrote an amazing letter for me...that type of LOR can certainly help quell any doubts about a candidates potential...

I keep seeing people with a ton of LORs and get nervous. I only have four, two of them former military. One is a retired commander of a carrier strike group though which was dope to get. Another from a well known retired JAG officer.
