No, I wish. My package got way delayed so I could try and score higher on the test one more time.
Sorry, I'm having a brain fart. Who is this? I get the names here confused with our guys down at Metro.
Valion310 off to Physics class ... AHHH!!
Well, good luck on your upcoming app submission! Are you graduating soon, or is the app for BDCP? I'm so confused...but we already established that.
I'm doing good! I haven't shipped yet cuz there were long delays with my first app, and then it took NRC a good three months to give me the thumbs down. I was luckier with the second app, though--got recommended for SNFO a few weeks ago.

Hey Stacey ... my package went down today.
Now I have to sit on my hands and try not to bite my nails off waiting for the next six weeks. I decided to make the hip shot for BDCP also, I figure I definitly wont get it if I dont apply and the recruiter said there is actually not even a waiting list (taking a grain of salt on that one) for it, I guess since all the schools just graduated.
Anyway, thought I would update you if you happen to check this thread. I'd be sooo happy with NFO or AMDO, I would buy the forum and half of Denver a round of beers!!

Hey, if I get my commission and this acceptance, I wont mind eating my words on the beer.
I graduate May 14 2004. I've got like a week left of this summer semester then like 2 weeks off before fall starts.
What all have you been up too?

Good afternoon to all. I am professionally accepted to the NFO program and am slotted to leave for OCS in August/September. I can't think of anything worse than failing out of NFO but what exactly happens if you do? I hate to think of the idea but I am a realist and understand that failing can occur! (hopefully it's the other guy though.) Anyway, other questions are raising from reading the various postings throughout this site. It is a great site and very informative but I'm looking to get in touch with others who are looking to attend ocs around the same time and gather their information about what to expect. Also, those who have completed OCS, is it boot camp? (prior navy corpsman) What type of classwork? etc. Also, getting to NFO, what is it like? What can I expect and how can I best prepare for it? Any responses would be great.

Doc, I'm in the 17 July class as a SNFO. Most of the advise which I've heard regarding OCS has been:
1. Get in shape.
2. Memorize the Big Four.
Regarding failing, one OCS grad on this site told me that of the 54 who graduated with him, 37 were originally in his class. The others rolled in. The general consensus of the OCS grads here seems to be that you have to be a major screw-up to be forced out of OCS. Obviously, if you decide to quit, that's another thing altogether.

Doc,
Once you are finally accepted, you'll be given a list of things to memorize. These Big Four are the general orders of the sentry, the code of conduct, the chain of command, and the rank structure of the Navy and the Marine Corps. I'm working through it slowly; it's not that difficult. I've now told you everything I KNOW about OCS. Probably a lot of stuff you'll hear on this site will be speculation or half-truths. My recruiter did tell me the other day that PT at OCS seems to be particularly intense right now. He said that his folks who have gone down there have found their pain to be inversely related to their preparation. It can get pretty hot in Ohio during the summer, so I'm not overly worried about the thrill of running during a Florida Panhandle summer. Good luck with getting your packaged wrapped up.
