Hello all!
I've been lurking for well over a month now. Throughout the month I feel like I've kind of gotten to know many of you. The amount of information and feedback that you all have provided was incredibly insightful and it certainly would have been a much more difficult process without your help. So THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to this forum.
That being said, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE SELECTED! I'm sure I will run across several of you at OCS (SWO selectee) and I'm looking forward to building a team to get through the challenge together.
This is cliche, perhaps, but I mean this. To those of you who did not get picked up, keep it up! Here's my short story of why you should keep trying:
I applied right out of college to USCG OCS and didn't get picked up. I lacked experience and didn't expect to be selected. I began working a civilian job that I hated but gave me the leadership skills I needed to succeed later on. When I finally quit because I had had enough I looked to apply to Navy OCS (my real dream). They weren't even taking applications. After a week trip to San Diego and watching an aircraft carrier (CVN-70) put to sea I realized this was what I loved and I wanted to be involved no matter what. I enlisted as soon as I got back. I picked a great job (a good enough one a tiny portion of me is sad I won't get to do it). Last August I completed boot camp and have been enlisted for a year. What a fantastic experience. I've met tons of fantastic people and have gained new perspectives on leadership and other issues that I know will serve me well; even though I haven't been enlisted that long I know that the experience will positively impact me as an officer.
The whole point is this: if it's what you want, keep going after it. If you really want to be a Naval Officer consider all your options and don't be afraid to take some big chances. You might win big!
Good luck to everyone and nice to meet you!

to retake the aviation portion you must retake the entire exam, if you only wanted to improve your OAR you could just take the OAR part, but then that would negate your PFAR/FOFAR/AQR
so I can't keep my PFAR/FOFAR/AQR 6/5/7 unless I retake the whole exam?

And you would have to obtain that same score to keep the 6/5/7... That's my understanding..

you wouldn't keep those scores unless you scored exactly the same, once you start the new exam it voids any previous scores.
