I'm pretty sure he was bullshitting you.

JCASHFAN, I won't be going to the fleet. I'll be staying in power school as an instructor. So basically I'll go through power school at warp speed (4 months vs 6 months) and teach there for the rest of my four years.

Congrats

6/28/2008 8:31:14 AM

^^ That'd be kind of a let down for me but rock on if that works for you . Where is the program anyway?

6/28/2008 8:40:55 AM

that's outstanding - way to go!

6/28/2008 8:42:28 AM

Charleston, SC seems like quite the consolation prize though, I wouldn't be bitching.

Don't do it Britta, its a tarp!

6/28/2008 5:49:20 PM

I think I'm more bummed than she is that she won't be going on a ship

6/28/2008 5:52:13 PM

i was looking to see if nerdchick was in the global database for emails the other day but i didn't know her last name

6/28/2008 6:01:20 PM

she isn't going to be in there yet

6/28/2008 6:46:01 PM

How britta and I met: I IMed her because of something she said in a thread. She was on her way to lab, and stopped by the library to see me.

We talked so long she missed her entire lab

I <3 britta, and man, she is a great friend.

"USMC is heavily OCS (and it is a real rat bastard)...by far the largest fraction. I think something like 60-70%, then another 20%ish from ROTC (who still have to go to OCS for 6 weeks), then the remaining 10% from the USNA."

Yeah I just did PLC Juniors this summer. USMC training is no joke. Srsly. But I'm that much closer to my commission and Flight School!

[Edited on July 22, 2008 at 2:25 PM. Reason : USMC OCS FTW]

I think I'm going to create it

10/8/2008 5:25:02 PM

I could always use a good LOL

10/8/2008 5:25:44 PM

10/8/2008 5:30:50 PM

It's a shame they don't let chicks, nerd or otherwise, on submarines.
nerdchick would make a kick ass chief nuke.

10/8/2008 5:37:18 PM

did my PRT today. my 1.5 mile time was 14:25

don't laff! when I started running, I was at 18:00

10/8/2008 7:07:41 PM

so when do you actually start OCS?

[Edited on October 8, 2008 at 7:15 PM. Reason : ^ that is a HUGE improvement. i bet you feel a lot better now that you're in so much better shape.]

10/8/2008 7:14:06 PM

^^^ she wouldnt be a chief, she's already got a degree

10/8/2008 7:15:33 PM

actually I will be going to ODS, it's the easier version for nerd jobs like doctors, chaplains, instructors, etc. Starts October 19

and I'm really proud of my improvement. I never would've believed it if you told me I would like running. And after ODS I can take the swim test, which I can blow out of the water

10/8/2008 7:20:45 PM

well you don't have much time left!

hooray for my future teacher

See you in April.

10/8/2008 7:24:01 PM

wait

you're commissioned, but you haven't gone to ODS?

10/8/2008 7:24:28 PM

that looks like an initial swearing in, like at MEPS. certainly not a commissioning.

10/8/2008 7:25:51 PM

for ODS you get for real commissioned before going. just signed the papers at the end of Sept.

it's a good deal, but I won't start getting O1 pay until ODS
