Asked my son. ASTB score of 7/7/7 is 88th percentile, so pretty good.

Comment by June4th on April 23, 2014 at 11:04pm

My daughter just took the ASTB,  Her score was 7/7/7.  Does anyone know if this is good?   She wants NFO.

Comment by kgrmom on April 23, 2014 at 10:26pm

Hi Lukes Mama:

Your son will interview with more than 1 Admiral :D   Good luck to him over the next day or two.  My daughter just started Nuke school- will be a long year.

@RoTcMoM - He was the BnCO second semester in 1997.  Great group of people there. 

Comment by Helomom on March 7, 2014 at 12:10am

Today our DS began his XO/CO tour. It is going to be an interesting couple of years. We so happy all of his hard work is paying off. University of Washington NROTC class of 1997.

Colorblind test - anyone have issues? Anyone permitted a retake? My son took the test for the second time after his eyes were dilated and he did not pass. Although the first time he took it he got a perfect. Just looking for others experiences.

ViperGirl, 

I think it is more luck of the draw. Aviation doesn't seem to matter since DS has his aviation contract. It also can change at the last minute one of his friends was to  report with him and his orders changed the 2nd week of Nov. But that is the Marine Corps.

Comment by suvwi on January 1, 2014 at 1:52pm

ViperGirl and hanksmom, 

Hopefully the wait for TBS won't be too long for your Marines. My DS's original orders were for Jan 14 but those were moved up to Dec 6. Six months on IRR was a long time in limbo. He was lucky, he is the first besides the prior enlisted to go to TBS. Some from his class aren't going until April and May. That is a long time on IRR.

ViperGirl --- Enjoy either way! Ithaca is a beautiful area!
