Are we allowed to bring the pre-built EZRack Ribbons to OCS, or do we have to rack up our ribbons the old-fashioned way?

I’ve heard and seen people post on here saying they brought them

Can anyone that graduated recently/in the summer comment on the running? I hear a lot of different things as OCS is always changing. Just curious how it is now. I am of course preparing by running 2-3 miles on 2-4 days a week. Just want to know if I should ramp up the mileage. Thanks all!

Keep doing that and throw in some HIIT workouts and you’ll be fine

Fleet applicants only: Does anyone know the process to submit application updates to Mr. Celestin before the board convenes? Heard you need an addendum signed by your CO with your changes? But the guy wasn’t sure if that was LDO or OCS.

I emailed BM1 that worked with Mr.Celestin. You can find her email on the N3 Sharepoint under POC. Send her whatever document you wanted to update. No addendum needed

Approximately long does it take to receive a FINSEL letter after completing the mock PFA and the paperwork?

It depends. Approximate isn’t a good word to use in the recruiting process. Your recruiter will probably have a better answer for you.

Haha recruiter had same answer. He said they won't start looking at all that stuff until at least January. He told me I got the good news of being selected so just enjoy the holidays.

How fast should I be running for these 2-3 mile runs?

If you can wake up at 4 AM and run a good medium PFA, you have nothing to worry about.

 

[Empire16]

I’m running like 25 minute 2.5 mile 30 minute 3 miles etc.

But can you run a good medium PFA? Don’t overthink this lol

 

[Empire16]

It’s close. Closer to a good low*. Just got back into running a few weeks ago because I messed up my ankle back in September/late august.

I got a 52 7,9,8 on my ASTB, soon to have my IW pin, and 4 years currently of active duty. Does anyone know if those are good odds for getting accepted? (Sorry if I sound stupid, very new to this)

scores are fantastic, the other stuff doesn't really matter. what's your GPA?

I’m only 62 credits through college, finishing soon hopefully. Going online college to get it done as fast as possible. Plan on submitting my package next July-August. So I’m not sure what my GPA is basically, fair to assume it’s good, I know my highschool GPA was 3.0+ lol. Don’t know if this matters but just incase I’m submitting for pilot. Last thing of background info, my CO is an admiral and confirmed he would give me a recommendation letter, and I’m in the talks with some squadron COs to possibly get some from them, if that helps my chances at all.
