Thanks, and I gotta say the profile picture checks out. Luckily, I am allowed to do all of the fun stuff that the Marine options do like FEXes and PT, so there's something.

Hey guys, As the title said, I got a pretty bad streak of luck. A week ago I was informed that my request for a waiver for the DoDMERB has been denied. I was DQ'ed for amblyopia in my right eye, meaning my right eye only corrected to about 20/60. I've been trying to cope with the fact that my...

Hey all, Just logged in late to see I was requested remedial paperwork a few weeks ago and I'm now worried about deadlines. Is there one? I just sent it as I'm typing this.

Can you pick your cycle? Or is it assigned to you?

That's probably true, I can probably squeeze in a bit of running every day if I just focus a bit more.

Hey all, I'm not new to the forum, but as a Marine Option recipient of a few months now, I'm beginning to prepare for the Summer Indoc, provided my DoDMERB goes through (which it should). However, I have a question regarding the PFT. To activate the scholarship, do I need to replicate my PFT...

It is impossible to say EXACTLY where you stand, but my OSO said this: 22 got it, 103 competed for it, 500-ish applied on the whole Western Seaboard. So if you're competitive, you're part of the 103. Unfortunately, I can't give you averages as I'm not part of the board, and it's more than just...

I would simply print out your score report and hand it to your recruiter or to the OSO at your interview.

That is correct! District Captain called me today to present me the great news. Hard work paid off big time! Congrats to the 21 other guys on the Western Seaboard as well for getting it in the first board.

Did anyone's portal change? Mine now says "The NSTC Selection/Placement Office has received your application. Missing Items All required items have been processed. Selection Status No decision has been made on your application." Instead of "at Marine District Board for Selection" or...

You might need to call your ISP so they can let that through.

No problem, I would get excited too. As of right now my recruiter hasn't heard anything so I suppose official word comes out district by district.

Dang, I know I'm behind you then. This thread is really giving me sweaty palms... 4.24 (school limits number of AP classes) 1530 (800 M 730 R) (doubt it means all that much in terms of potential to lead Marines though) 293 PFT (22 P, 108 C, 19:01) Ton of Church-related service and leadership...

Question: does each district get a select number of acceptances or is it nation wide?

Dang dude my recruiter called me yesterday saying that the District Capt. called him to his office without saying anything else... Does it say so online too? My recruiter has been hush-hush about things. Congrats by the way!

Hello all, I am aware that the first board started yesterday on the 30th of October. I know that for the naval option, the wait is 2-3 weeks give or take to hear results. Is Marine Option any different in that aspect? The suspense is pretty killer.

Thanks for the knife-hand, will take that into consoderation for future posts.

Hey, I believe I'm competing against you but I guess I'll help you out with this: Physical fitness is NOT the highest priority of the Corps. Focus on the write up and how you display your leadership. That is what matters. But yeah, still gotta be fit too. Best of luck!

A little update on my current status, I gutted it out and ran it in 19:01, a new PR, and got a 293! I guess it didn't hurt too much.
