Figure I might as well kick off the NDSEG 2012 thread... Last year descisons didnt go out unitl the 3rd week of April - and about 5% of people (here) just were never informed (had to email and ask). Let the speculation begin!

Yea..... I'm imagining a big stack of applications in a corner.. "Hey Jim, did you ever forward these onto the DoD?" "Ohhhhh......that's where they were suppose to go?"

Mother #*#@ers...... didnt get it.

Just emailed, and now a new wait continues....

Or maybe they forgot about us.....The 0.5% whose applications got lost...

Alright, who's going to call? (I would, but damnit, I have no fingers to dial, and no uvula to pronounce syllables)

Nope..... (lost in the DoD mail??)

Next Monday? I hate you if that's true.....

I know of about 4 people who are still in the dark for OE........(havent heard of anyone getting a yes for NA/OE...) I think they might have something against ocean science....

Someone should call.......

Sooooo...... How many of us still havent heard back yet (and what field)? OE

It's a geophysicist's favorite. Kind of like the movie "The Core" for geologists. I remember a friend of mine who was doing magnetic plate reconstructions around iceland (she was Icelandic, funny enough), found the ever expanding earth video. A chuckle was had by all.

I got rejected from the DOE CSGF last week.........I was hoping to get all the rejections out of the way at once. So where does all the Nitrogen go? Have you ever seen this video? Awesome!

I just finished a MS in geophysics (http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2010/2009JB006877.shtml), but decided to switch over to OE/Oceanography (working on a PhD in Oceanography at Rhode Island and a MS in OE at New Hampshire). My proposal was to build a highres 3D subbottom profiler (AUV/ROV microseismics) - using navigation methodologies taken from Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM). I want to use it to image shipwrecks......(arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!) But said it would make a good mine-hunter/UXO detector. But I might not even have qualified given that I have a previous MS degree - I had to write an exemption request stating I was switching fields.... who knows....
