I got a 3.5 in engineering (I don't even think the technical major stuff matters anymore), and 6/6/6. To whoever got a 9/9/9, that's incredible, B.Z! Hey question though... I'm going to start looking in to flight simulation programs to start getting ready for IFS, does anybody have any recommendations on the best brands?
When I worked as a CFI I would always recommend the Microsoft flight sim to students as a training aide. You can download "skins" online to get the same aircraft you are training in. While sim flying isn't quite the real thing, I have seen students who practice their lesson on a home sim before showing up and rock out their lessons like pros. Sims are especially helpful in practicing procedures and instrument scans. Same idea as chair flying, but some people have more fun with sims.

1390, had 6/7/6 and 2.94 gpa. The guy ranked 1st in our class of 21 got subs (had it as his 2nd choice, SNA was his 1st). Guess it doesn't always pay to be #1.

It does pay to be number one, but if he really wanted SNA, he would have put subs #5. Anything else is a gamble for subs, especially in top 3.
It is lame that it comes down to list order, but if you are qualified SNA and want SNA, putting subs in top 3 means you are getting subs.

Exactly. Plus he has a very high gpa with an engineering major at an engineering school. Might as well have put subs 1st. Anyway, I'm pretty pumped. Myself and 3 others from our unit got SNA, and I know of one that got SNFO.
They are digging down for guys with subs that have it anywhere in their 6 choices here at USNA; in the rumor mill, a female even got the sub "draft" apparently after getting picked for Med Corps... They are selecting several females from my class for subs apparently and know a few who want to and/or have been "asked."

I read about that on Sailorbob. Targeting people with it anywhere within their 6 is a little harsh, since we were mandated to put it down somewhere between 1-5.
Best of luck to the SNA/SNFO selectees at USNA!
We did, too. And I remember if it was in your top 3 you HAD to go to a nuke interview. I think it legitimately would have been my #3, but it got shoved way down to 6 when I saw what was happening.
Easy there hard charger...

Don't worry, I'm just saying it's unfortunate that he was #1 and didn't get his first choice.

Congrat's to everyone!
I got my second choice, SNFO. I am a FY-08 STA-21 Core selectee, apparently they only set aside a few spot's for OC's in the selection process?
Has anyone heard of this before?
I was always told that we were competing against MIDN in the selection process.
Good Luck to everyone.
