dubl....congrats. did you get pro rec'd or final select? was your packet up for the march boards? just curious. congrats again

 

[dubldown]

yes march, and only a pro-select. Any idea on how long I have to wait? My PRT and MEPS are already finished.

 

[bennkrys]

When did the March board convene? I thought they weren't going to meet until later this month.

Might want to let MEPS know about that when you go...

Congrats

I've heard of some guys taking several months, however, I received notification that I was pro-rec'd on Feb 23 (like you, I already had my MEPS and PRT done), and my recruiter told me on Mar 9 that that I had the Mar 24 class date. One month from initial selection to OCS. Don't know if many people have this experience, but maybe your recruiter can make it happen for you

nfo to ppl

Okay so since I wont be flying the aircraft, how can my NFO training pipeline help me get a private pilot license so I can impress girls and tell them Im a 'real pilot'?
Just kidding, but I would like to rent a plane and fly myself in the future and after the navy. Any experiences?

 

[flysupertomcat]

Bona Fortuna

Do a search on IFS, then take your experience there to a civilian flight school, drop the requisite cash and get a PPL. If you want to get chicks, stop trying to impress them and just be an A-hole - that usually works better than anything else.

Congrats bro! Welcome to the Team

 

[FMRAM]

This is attempt number FOUR!

I admire your tenacity...
For those of us that were not fortunate/lucky enough to get picked up for our programs on the first try, acceptance and the commission following will only be that much sweeter.
Keep it up.
