What do SNAs do instead of OHARP whilst they wait for a flight school place? Anyone know how long the current wait is?
Its an ever-revolving door of new ideas to keep the ENS looking busy.
Recently, they've had stash jobs, SNAJOC, NKOs, TDY to squadrons, watches etc....
Last I heard its graduate school courses....? someone closer to A pool can hopefully chime in on this.
It will probably be a different concoction by the time you check in.....

I'll probably just try to grind a couple flight hours on my own so my first time flying isn't at NIFE

I would recommend that. A simulator is way different than the actual thing. I had played sims growing up thinking my first time flying would be natural…
Not the case. Wind is the biggest difference and situational awareness. I fly in a relatively busy area so the situational awareness part of flying is what surprised me the most.
But also environmental factors, and talking on the radio is a huge learning curve

there’s a high risk activity paperwork you gotta fill out if you will be flying on your own. But yes I’d recommended flying on a real Cessna over a T6 sim for that phase. People who had as little as 10-12 hrs were way ahead of the curve for the flight phase in NIFE . There are home simulators with a T6 add on, but tbh, after actually flying one, I’d say unless is a simulator set up like the ones you do in actual Primary, is not that useful. My 0.02

You may want to consider contacting your local flight school to get a discovery flight. Even just a 1-1.5 hour flight is super beneficial

I go to an Aeronautical University so there are plenty of opportunities, I just kinda wait til last minute. I don't want to spend the money on flight hours now before OCS just to wait to start NIFE

I just noticed your OCS date. Was it delayed?

Kinda. They made a mistake and scheduled me for October when I don't graduate until December and then I requested February over January so I can have a month to relax/study after graduation.
Even once you are checked into primary, you aren't allowed to use the sims until you class up.
This is because there's a limited number. Even when you're a primary student, its fighting for scraps to get sim time.
If they bought more, until you know what you're doing, "playing around on the sim" is worth less of your time than you may think. Creates a lot of bad habits bc the Navy wants you to fly their way.

Yes, you’ll have to fight me for a sim, and good luck, cuz I have no life outside of flight school
This man is yoked too.
Will barrel through 10 SNAs then tower over them, reaching out with long arms to sign the profsit sign up sheet before you.
A true menace in naval aviation.
