You need to prepared more to pass the fitness test than passing indoc imo. You only go through indoc once. But you'll be taking the PT test several times. Three miles is a good distance to prepare for running a mile and a half. Do this 2-3 times a week. When I prepare for the army PT test...

AYYY ANOTHER BUCKEYE ON THE LIST!

Not quite. I'm still in limbo. I have to get a dd368 signed and approved by a general in my chain of command before I can go to school. That form is basically giving me the authorization to release me from active duty and switch components. It's going to take some time to get all the way up to...

So now that I have received my appointment. I'm thinking about making a visit to Kings Point to check out the place within the next month. I've been wanting to get some insurance and meet with a opthalmologist to get Lasik/PRK. I want to start making moves during that visit and meet with some...

I have both only cause I wanted to apply for Navy Fed's secured credit card which is pretty nifty. Besides, USAA has access to a lot of discounts and resources that you'll really appreciate. Get both. Trust me.

Way to go! I'm looking forward to seeing you all at indoc. For the ones still waiting keep it up. This whole process says a magnitude about how you dealt with this process and how you're going to prepare for the aftermath. Don't forget that so that when something like this comes along again you...

No buckeyes on the list? How disappointing. Ok. I'll bite. DECLINED phyrebird / Self / 19-Dec-17 / Declined / FL Sargon / DS / 18-Dec-17 / Declined / PA 18 ship_shape / DS / 25-Jan-18 / Declined / SC ali_ksa / Self / 22-Dec-17 / Declined / NV Ravens / DD / 16-Apr-18 / Declined / MD-02...

This makes me feel a little bit t better about my situation. I've been in waiver status for a little over a month for a miscellaneous eye problem. And as active duty I would still have quite a bit of out-processing to be done before I can report for indoc on the 29th compared to you civilian...

Agreed. A lot of the stuff on that site looks really tacky to me. What I really want is a hoodie that says "KING'S POINT" in big collegiate letters.

Thank you everyone! These are really good insights and quality posts!

So as I wait to receive an appointment: I kinda want to ask all of the current students/alumni(parents can chime in too) some questions. What countries and cities did you stop at when you were at sea? How long were you there? What was/were your favorite stops? Least favorite stop? One more...

Excellent! I've seen a handful of airmen wear them on base around here. I think it is an excellent change. Their current uniform looks really ugly imo. I now have another reason to cross commission when the opportunity presents itself.

Congratulations to you and your DS! If I knew now what I knew then and applied to this school coming straight out of HS and all they gave me was an offer to go to prep school I'd take it in a heart beat. (Unless a better opportunity rolled along hah!)

Compared to a majority of the posts in the DoDMERB forum I cant help but chuckle at how simple and easy the OP makes this process sound.

Good luck with your application! Go Ordnance!
