Shindig Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Posted June 27, 2015 My recruiter told me I need Letters and essay before I can take my fl phys? I didn't think this was true from what I read Quote
Creep0321 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Sounds like he wants to ensure you are going to complete your package before wasting additional time and resources on you. 1 Quote

Shindig Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 Ask stearmann. He always has a ton of free time. sir, I don't think stearmann is going to write me a letter... but anyway i was just not sure why my recruiter would say that because i always thought i could do my phys first. My recruiter thinks i have a good shot, its not about wasting his time or anything like that because if it was he would have told me...hes very direct with me. Quote
Tesla Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Getting the references first would show that you are serious about this. For me, the flight physical was the last thing I did. (Excluding the board.) I attained my references and wrote my essay's well before any kind of physical. 1 Quote

stearmann4 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Â sir, I don't think stearmann is going to write me a letter... but anyway i was just not sure why my recruiter would say that because i always thought i could do my phys first. My recruiter thinks i have a good shot, its not about wasting his time or anything like that because if it was he would have told me...hes very direct with me. Certainly, I'll be happy to write you a letter, you just have to come to Ft Lewis to interview for it. I'll even assemble a board of W4s and W5s to answer any questions you might have about the Warrant Officer Corps. I'm usually only home in 2-3 week increments, so be sure to give me at least a month's heads' up when you'd like to come out. Mike- 1 Quote
Shindig Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 Sir, thank you. I appreciate that very much Quote
Shindig Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 image.jpg ok I get it, I understand now. I'll find a way though Quote
Lindsey Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Â ok I get it, I understand now. I'll find a way thoughI'm just messing with you, no worries. Stearmann was helpful to me too when I was searching for a LOR. He's good and very helpful, even if he was a SEAL. I honestly do think you should take him up on that offer. Quote
AFmarksman Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 At this point, interviewing with stearmann is the best thing for you. You say you've changed, so prove it to him. Prove you're fit enough, capable enough, and professional enough to be a U.S. Army Warrant Officer Aviator. If you ask for stearmann's unfiltered opinion of you and your packet, I'm sure he'll give it to you straight. That being said, you can't be so defensive in the face of criticism. Believe it or not, most of these people are trying to help you succeed, not only in the military but in life. Use the criticism to better yourself.The SWO LOR is such an important part of the selection process because it shows you've received the blessing of someone who's "walked the walk." If you can earn stearmann's recommendation after this train wreck of a topic, I think everyone here will give you the benefit of the doubt. 1 Quote
stratose Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015  ...but the good news for me is i can now join the military and serve openly and be who i am ... Beware If you're going to serve openly in the Army, they may start calling you sh*itdick instead of shindig. Just my .02 Quote
cwil7280 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Wow... I haven't been on this forum in a couple months and this is the first thing I read coming back. This is amazing, I had no idea what I was missing. Quote
Shindig Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Posted July 2, 2015 So i've been running 3 to 4 times a week ...my neighbor who used to coach hs baseball said i should spend at least one day doing a slow jog with max sprints in between....so if I was running on a track i'd sprint the straightaways, jog the curves etc. I'm going to try this, but one thing i'm starting to deal with is shin splins...has anyone had these and if so should i still keep running even though it hurts a little or would that make it worse? Ive heard different things, like the hs coach said if i continue running a lot i could eventually get a stress fracture but at the same time i don't want to fall back in my routine. Quote
Lindsey Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 When you start to feel shin splints, pause the running and hit up the elliptical, bicycle, and swimming. Go for a light jog after a week and see how you feel. If good, continue your running. You don't want to get a stress fracture, it will set you back way further than taking a week or two off from running. Continue this recipe as needed. Quote
Brian101193 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Serious question, when you take the APFT (in my case as a civilian), do you do the 2 mile run on a track or are you running from point A to point B? Quote
