Just to throw it out there, becuase I always do.
FYI, what was good enough to get SNA this yr, may (read "will") not be the same next yr or the following years. It is such a fluid thing and therefore changes almost constantly.
The best advice for a 3/C... BUST YOU A$$ and make you package as competive as possible, if for no other reason than if you don't get it, at least you know it was not becuase you did not try hard enough...
Just as an example, 2 yrs ago I got it along with everyone else in my class and all of us had real close (both plus and minus) to a 3.0 in aero eng. With those grades today, I doubt we would have all gotten it.

MIDNJAC,
I was the same way you are when I was a 3/c. I hated people telling me not to worry about it and just to chill out. It is your future and naturally you are going to be worried about it but there really is no telling what the standards are going to be. Sorry. Make sure you rock the ASTB, that is something like 40% of the whole package. Good luck with everything.

It's not that difficult. The best advice (in my opinio) for taking the ASTB is to wait until after you've taken a semester of Navigation and after a semester of Calculus based physics, specifically the mechanical stuff. A few physics questions can creep in there, and having the class already helped me a ton. Same goes for the Nav, I think my peers that took the ASTB without having taken Nav at all had a much tougher time and in general scored lower on the exam. Just my thoughts :icon_smil

I'm talking about the ship navigation that is taught by the NROTC staff. I found it to be a great help on the ASTB. This is because there are many questions based on nautical terms and concepts! I'm sure a good knowledge of aircraft nav would be a great help as well.
