    Sleep Apnea??

    Well, not to take away from the excellent ammunition conversation, but a little update is in order. I finally got in touch with the HM3 at Sewell's Point that did my flightphys, and she looked over the electronic copy of my physical and it was a freakin TYPO!! The whole dynamic of my career...

    motion control type boot?

    When you go to medical, the Physical Training staff will look at your feet and determine whether you should use the insoles or not. As far as boots go, I don't know of an exterior difference; the main thing you can do as far as customization is what you have inside.

    Sleep Apnea??

    I'll be calling in the AM. Thanks everyone. It'd be bad enough to find out I was DQ'd from flying, but especially due to a condition I DON'T HAVE:icon_rage. I appreciate the direction to proceed in, and am going to get this fix as soon as I can.

    Sleep Apnea??

    Thanks for the quick replies. I had a flightphys in DEC 2007 at Sewell's Point, that physical is the one that apparently diagnosed me. That much I found out this morning, yes almost 14 months to the day, later. My tonsils were out on 14 SEPT 2007, well before the physical, and I don't think I...

    Sleep Apnea??

    This morning, I got a call from my OSS, and was told (finally) that I was DQ'd from a Flight Contract, because of sleep apnea, apparently. I found out about the DQ in September, but they didn't know what the reasoning was until today. The thing is, I don't have sleep apnea, a history of it...

    Sounds like change is coming...

    The thing with these two groups, putting the attractiveness level aside, is that one was housed separately, and the other didn't posses the urge to mate with those with whom they were berthing. That is one major issue I find with the African-American analogy (hows that for some alliteration:D)...

    flight physical prior to OCS?

    I have a random question about Flight Physicals... If TBS is still backed up, as it has been recently (to my knowledge) would going PTAD at my OSO's Office be another way to get a flight phys before TBS? I plan to ask my OSO this later this week, but I figured I would ask here as well, to see...

    Orthotics for Running

    No, I don't have any of that, my I've been pretty much injury free, but from running before, and a look at the way I stand, I can see that more pronation control would help. My shoes are a month old, I just don't think I got the best ones.

    Orthotics for Running

    I have seen Superfeet in stores, but never really took a look at them. Do they have different models or types that are better for motion control, ie. pronating? I know I need to get some new shoes before OCS, because I pronate a little too much, but I'm wondering if these would help as well.

    Obese have right to 2 seats for the price of one

    Why don't the Airline companies just word it differently? All they have to do is change it to a space rental. Your X number of $ gets you this much space, for this amount of time. That way, if your fat ass doesn't fit, you need to rent more space.

    9/11 Thoughts

    I was a junior in High School, in Fairfax County, VA. They turned off all of the TVs in most classes and wouldn't tell us what was happening, so a group of us just left, and drove up as close as we could get to the Pentagon. One of the most sobering experiences of my life.

    Help with understanding PLC application process

    From what my OSO was talking about last week, they are considering scaling back/phasing out the Juniors and Seniors, but retaining the PLC-Combined course. But I think that is still in the discussion phase thus far.

    Obviously, USMM, you have been around so you may know this, but for general consumption: take a tennis ball, and place it on the ground, put the arch of your foot on it and roll the ball from one end of the arch to the other.

    Opening my mind to military aviation

    My point was not to say that it is impossible to go from the Enlisted side to the Officer side, but rather to merely point out, as many others have, that enlisting is not a sure path to a commission. Once again, it is possible, and obviously you and others have done it, but when compared to the...

    Rowing vice swimming?

    As a collegiate swimmer (retired) with no rowing experience myself, but I do have friends that rowed in college, I would say that the key difference, as far as aerobic value, is that swimming is inherently anaerobic, as well as aerobic. By requiring you to hold your breath, or take a big drink...

    Opening my mind to military aviation

    I suppose I didn't word my post in the most clear manner, but you just helped prove me point, HJ. A reserve Marine, Sailor, etc. does not qualify as experienced personnel, therefore, the service would have just sent them through boot, and gotten little to no return, when it makes more economic...

    Opening my mind to military aviation

    I'm not an officer yet, so apply needed grain of salt, but if you enlist, and then try to become an officer, the AF, Marine Corps, Navy, etc. has to spend the money to train you twice, rather than just once. So you can see how they may make it more difficult to get a slot at OCS from the...

    Obama says we should learn Spanish.

    Negative. Wikipedia is an excellent source of information, but in this case (and others, I'm sure) it is wrong. I don't know who wrote that, and it is indeed well-written, but while my German isn't what it used to be, that was a specific example of grammar when I was in a German school while...

    Redefined Non-English Phrases

    The quote actually isn't correct. According to proper German, he should have said "Ich bin Berliner," because the "ein" makes him a donut by changing the sentence structure. And Berliners were still real popular in the mid-90's. They are pretty delicious.

    Best Gun Story this Year
