November boards

So, do I need to put 7777 into my transponder in response to a hijacking of this thread?:p

(sorry if anyone thinks that was tasteless)
 
Shoot, you're absolutely right. 7700 is an emergency isn't it. Does straight 7's even mean anything or is it just gibberish.

So you weren't completely jacked up bro. Never hurts to freshen up on these anyway ...

Do some of you old salts have some good stories about squakin 7777? :tongue2_1
 
umm back to the thread. Yep in for November also. Pretty sure you have GOT to have your PFT done before the board meets. Although I don't have my meps done i'm pretty sure they don't do that until the board gives you the initial nod. Anyways good luck to you guys and gals, maybe i'll see some of you clowns in RI

Ohh and congrats on select! I'm jealous as this Navy "thing" is just floating around in the back of my head driving me nuts.
 
I spoke with my recruiter today about MEPS/ PRT. He said that it was a new requirement that not everyone was following through with. My package was already submitted without either, but he said it would be fine to do in the next few weeks, and could even be sent in after the board meets. It sounds like its required more in theory than in practice at this point, but will probably be a firm requirement in the future. Good luck to everyone this month.
 
Good luck to everyone waiting for the November board. I got picked up for SNA last November and here I am a year later just finishing up my first block of flights in primary. It's a long process but it's definitely worth it. There is nothing I would rather be doing. Hell, I get paid to fly around do cool shit. It doesn't get any better than that.
 
I sent my package in for BDCP (Intel) two weeks ago. This waiting is really going to suck. Can someone explain to me how the board actually works? Real anxious about all this. Thanks for the help ahead of time.
 
Actually, I am pretty humble about this one. I think I was too anxious for the October board and then I ended up missing it. I believe I learned my lesson. :D

Either way.........good luck to all!
