So after taking the ASTB the 2nd time I qualified to be an NFO. I am graduating college this term and my OCS application is about to be put up for review. My recruiter and I are going to go over my service agreement this week, and I was wondering if anyone could help me. What is the life of an NFO like? Is it a difficult road? What is the flight physical consist of? Is there anything I can do to better prepare for it? Is flight school a lot of work? What exactly does the 8-10 years consist of? Being under contract for 8 years is a long time and I would like to know a few things about aviation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Try googling airwarriors lot's of naval aviators there.

Yep...we're mostly Snuffys over here...

Well I'm applying to the Marine Corp OCS.. as a NFO will I work more with Navy guys.. like I said i took the ASTB to keep my options open and I am trying to learn about the career.. I still may go ground.. and not to sound ignorant but Snuffys? what does that mean?

snuffie or snuffy: Junior Marine in the grade of lance corporal and below.

While this is generally true, most of us 1-tour commandoes considered ourselves snuffies even though we were sergeants and corporals...

alright thanks for all the help guys...I checked out airwarriors and it answered alot of my questions...thanks for everything
