Thanks Dogshow, I just got back from swimming and did some eggbeater. It's already getting stronger. -Lake |

My eggbeater is getting better already. How intense is the 10lbs. brick drill. That actually sounds challenging. How long do I have to hold it for? And is there a specific way I have to hold it?
Thanx!! - Lake |

Hey there gentlemen. Back a little too soon. MEPS messed up on my medical records, should've gotten a memo saying my first HIV test results were cancelled, but didn't and didn't bother to check about it, even with the same memo going out about everyone else in that batch.
So the bottom line is I gave the idiot brigade some more blood today, and if the results are back by Friday, my recruiter's going to smash some heads to get me to Cape May in a week. If it doesn't work out that way, then I ship out on March 4th. |

Thanks Dog_show, I appreciate it!
If nothing else, I won't be surprised when it happens again. Always something to learn. |

By all means, get yourself squared-away for the Airman Program but if you spend some time at a small boat station or aboard a cutter, you'll appreciate aviation even more. You'll have great incentive to succeed in acquiring the wings.

So, got my ASVAB score back from my recruiter. Got a 94. is that out of a total 100? when applying to AST, do they take everyone's ASVAB and use that to help give prefrence? i'm hoping i can ship out March 24th to Cape May, but its lookin more like Mid-Late April. how long after Boot do i need to wait before i start the airman program?

OC,your ASVAB only makes you eligable. AST "A" school is on a first come, First done with thier flight physical, Security Clearence will be first served. So, how long it takes you to get the AN program may vary on a few factors. I sat on my Boat for 2 years. And that was not me being lazy. That was just how long the wait was. It's not that long now, but historically it's been a long wait.

That would be a question for a recruiter.
