My name is Mike Klepac and on Monday, September 17, 2001 I learned that I had been selected for the Naval Flight Officer (NFO) program in the Navy.  On, Friday, September 21, 2001 I was sworn into the Navy.   I will be reporting for active duty on February 9, 2002.

I wanted to create this web page to document the process off applying to the Navy so that others will know what to expect. 

I had an opportunity once to join the Air Force and I turned them down because I -thought- I'd enjoy working as a computer engineer in the civilian world.  As time went on, I realized that I may be passing up the chance of a lifetime to serve my country and to show the United States how proud I am to be an American citizen.  I am grateful that I realized this while I am young enough that I can apply again to be among the honorable men and woman who fight for our country's freedom each day!  I am asking the Navy to give me a chance to serve my country by allowing me to first take part in OCS and then continue my education to become a Naval Flight Officer.

My OCS application was sent to the Navy Officer Selection Board the week of September 4, 2001.  It will take about 2 weeks to get the results.  Be sure to check back to find out my status! **UPDATE -- September 17, 2001, I heard from Lt. Gilchrist that I have been accepted for the NFO program in the NAVY!!**
