    TW-5 Book issue has the T-45 NATOPS

    The T-45A NATOPS and T-45A/C PLC can be obtained from TW-5 book issue next to the sim building. Walk in there and ask the lady behind the counter if she'll help you out. She most likely will, and you'll walk out with a brand new CD with the A NATOPS, A/C PCL, the 7510, the 2012 AIM, and some...

    How much does prior flight training help?

    Ill post my reply as someone who just finished primary. I went into primary with my multi-commercial/instrument and from talking with the other guys around me, it absolutely helped out. Alot of instructors will tell you that it doesn't matter and maybe in the big picture it doesn't...But to...

    The PRK process from start to finish

    Well gents, after returning from PLC Jr's this past week and checking airwarriors, I noticed MPH's post from 28 JUNE on PRK. Since the title of my thread is "The PRK Process from Start to Finish", I figure I'll go ahead and finish it off. It has now been one full year and some odd days since...

    I need a new major...

    I'd go with history, political science, english, or maybe communications. Business degrees are never bad to have. If you like math and you're good at it, swing for engineering or physics. To be an astronaut you need a technical major(he didn't ask, but I'll just throw that in there anyway)...

    Pictoral chart of aircraft position reference

    Below is a link to a page depicting what aircraft look like from an observer's view in a second craft. This will give you an idea of the spatial perception area of the ASTB. Once you have ascertained the position, heading, pitch and bank angle of the aircraft you are studying, deciding on what...

    An Introduction

    If you decide to go the PLC route, they most likely will not call you into active service. Technically you're in the IRR, however they make provisions not to call you up. In addition to this, the College Loan Repayment Program has just been approved for fiscal years '08 and '09. The Marine...

    Time to train (civilians flying military jets and Harriers vs conventional aircraft)

    I, too, will attest that flying a G1000 equipped a/c is for lack of a better phrase...straight tits. The only thing the G1000 doesn't do is cook you breakfast. With the attached autopilot suite you get XM satelite radio and the uplink for satellite weather. Built in approach plates, flight...

    Carrier - A 10 episode PBS Series

    I whole-heartedly agree with Uncle Fester. While I understand that the people shown are only a small portion of the crew, I find the show extremely interesting. I've been basing most of my stories of the Navy off my cousin over at DLI in Monteray. To see even a small portrayal of Navy...

    funny marine option video

    Whose going to OCS this summer?

    1st increment, Junior's here as well, and AW helped me the entire way along. Anyone shipping from Orlando?
  20. mxracer19

    New Guy!

    Pretty much correct for the most part. It's Jr's and Sr's rolled into 10 weeks. A friend of mine went that route; He said it's easier knowing you don't have to come back next summer for another 6 weeks. However, get yourself prepared, and take precautions to prevent injury (shin splints...

    Flight Schools near Los Angeles?

    Im looking for a flight school in the Daytona Beach area...
  22. mxracer19

    Few quick questions.

    2.6 GPA, 238 PFT, 7/7/7 ASTB...Selected SNA PLC Jr.s 1st Inc. this summer. Develope a good relationship with your OSO and make sure he knows you're putting out and that you want to be there. It also depends on the number of available flight slots for your region/class year

    Woot Selected, Thanks!

    neither...NJ, and going to school in Florida.

    I believe the correct answer to that would have been; "No...but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night..."

    USAF Question

    You're never guaranteed to fly. Ever. Through PLC, barring disqualification, you're guaranteed an attendence slot to proove your worth in the first level of flight school. You could still fail API. -Matt

    The PRK process from start to finish

    I am approaching my 2 month this friday. My vision is still 20/25, with increased VA for a brief period of time when I put in the drops. This is a PITA...I'm beginning to wonder if I won't need a touch-up surgery? I'll post more after my 60-day appointment

    2 flight slots left for 2010...sound right?

    I just got off the phone with my new OSO. I transfered back to Embry-Riddle from the University of Colorado...according to the staff sergeant I was working with out in Denver, getting me into the program with an air contract wouldn't be hard at all. Since I transfered schools, I've switched...

    The PRK process from start to finish

    Alright, guys. It has now been one month and ten odd days or so. My vision is 20/25 with slight double-vision sometimes at night. The doc tells me this is because of the change in angle between the lased portion of my cornea and the unlased portion, and that it will eventually heal out...

    If you want to lose weight (and I mean REALLY want to), you've got to cut fast food, beer, and soda out of your diet. Fast will kill you...don't eat it for a couple months, and you'll realize how bad it makes you feel if you try forcing some down. Try swimming...it's an excellant entire-body...

    The PRK process from start to finish

    ryanber I did forget the laser process of removal. I'm pretty sure all forms of laser eye correction remove the corneal epithelium as the goal is to alter the shape of the corneal stroma underneath. While the epithelium heals and replaces itself, the stroma has limited regeneracy, which is the...

    ...I don't think that story would ever get old. I ran into an F-4 vietnam POW today at work.

Would love to have a few drinks with that guy...I'm sure he has a million...

    The PRK process from start to finish

    ALRIGHT guys...I had my 10 day post-optoday and thought ahead to ask the question that so many people have wondered about. The difference between PRK, LASEK, and Epi-LASEK is in the surface (corneal epithelium) removal technique. One uses a brush, one uses a chemical solution, and one uses a...
