Don't forget in the gulf (or other defined combat zone) your salary is Tax fee....

Yep, add in medical (including free prescriptions), dental, moving expenses, use of the exchange/commissary, flight pay (for pilots)/hazardous duty pay, and housing allowance and a new O-1 is doing pretty damn good...

I'll add, don't get any traffic tickets. It's not an appointment killer (in most cases), but will require a waiver. Save the trouble...

He will take it again if he goes to NASS.

Ok, sorry honest truth here. You are very strong in most areas, but your Mile-run: 8:34 is a show stopper (my opinion). You do not say if you are a male or female. But with 1 pull up my guess is female. 8:34 is probably a failure on the CFA (Admissions does not publish mins). Good news is 1...

Actually the 3rd "Q" is Board Qualified (not academic). The Board will start meeting every Thursday sometime around August. They look at the entire package (including academics and everything submitted during the process) and make a determination if the student is worthy of being considered...

Be patient, a bad recommendation from one of your teachers could sink you. The main advantage to getting your package in early is if your competitive for an LOA. The majority of students rush and get their package complete and then sit and wait until March or April of the next year to get an...

Looks good, one important factor ACT/SAT.

My DD went to Stem her freshman year, it changed her life. Prior to that she had no desire to be in the military or attend the Academy. She is now a current Midshipman at the USNA. Good luck.
