    PCS Move Help

    Is this from API to Primary? A few years ago it wasn’t unheard of for PERS to simply issue an ordmod with API as an I-stop. That messes with your PCS benefits. Have you talked to the PPO yet?

    Questions about DOR and FNAEB

    One of the TAOs on my boat was an NFO that didn’t qualify. A surprising number at 1300s in that wardroom

    Questions about DOR and FNAEB

    I’ve never heard of the term outside of the production pipeline, but I don’t know a better term for “turning in his/her wings”

    Questions about DOR and FNAEB

    There were a few JOs in my fleet squadron that were in your shoes. None of them went to a FNAEB, but all of them “acquired” some sort of medical issue that took them out of the cockpit. Not saying that’s your solution, this is a conversation that you need to have with your front office. If you...

    Army Aviator to Naval Aviator?

    I remember that guy. Don’t think I ever flew with him though. I never asked, but rumor is that CAG-5 a few years ago had army helo time.

    SEAL Officer to Pilot

    There was a student when I was leaving the VTs that had a specwar background (he was/is a LT). I forget the exact circumstances, but I don’t think the redes was his choice. Good dude and a pretty solid stick though

    Kneeboards for Tablets

    I found the inflight weather, although time late, to be much more valuable than the traffic advisories. Not enough to pick through a cell but just as a general SA tool.

    Kneeboards for Tablets

    Any gouge on this? We had to pay out of pocket last time I was in the cockpit, but since I’m starting the RAG again very soon, might as well ask. Dan, back in the VTs I used one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BAIIK12/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_inactive_ship_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Zero...

    Great Bars, Happy Hours, and Free Food Around the World

    Ok, I have no idea what this place is called. Go to the Omicho Market in Kanazawa Japan. Inside, there is a stall near one of the entrances with a golden cow head outside. No seats, just a window and counter top in the hallway. This places has one guy and a ticket machine, and about ten...

    My Overall Primary Experience

    I think we prof advanced maybe three people during my IP tour? All of them had commercial/instrument ratings coming in and the recommendation came from STUCON, not the students.

    R-2908 by Pensacola - what's it for?

    I don't know why they're being paid for, but the runways are closed. I've lost count of the students that would set up a PEL over Silverhill while talking to Summerdale...below for SA.

    COVID Vaccine before flight physical at NAMI?

    Headache after the first one, malaria patient after the second. Nothing lasted longer than two days. A week buffer should be good

    With covid, I’d assume port calls are going to be limited at best. Do what you think would be the coolest without ports.

    One knife with your gear. Which one?

    I know a guy who used his five pounds for a bottle of hot sauce because his boat was cool enough to make burritos for hot plates. I’m still made I didn’t think of it

    Not so long ago AFN was showing reruns of games from years ago. Normally not my thing, but there’s something (at least to a hardcore Phils fan) about watching Pete Rose and Mike Schmidt hit some real dingers.

    O-4/DH Selection vs 2FOS

    Was this in reference to the O-4 or DH board? I didn't get that email, but my picture is 1+ years old too. 99% sure we have the same detailer.

    Quarantine Activities

    I enjoy a 50:50 mix of Angostura and Peychards. Though if you’re going to go with a cherry, spring for the Luxardo Marachino cherries. Revolutionized my Manhattan game I like to use a little bit of the syrup they come with as the sugar component of the cocktail.

    What did you struggle with? Top causes of washouts?

    100% this. Of all the IPCs and attrites I counseled, studying alone was the number one commonality. I’d also throw this out there. I you find yourself struggling with something, speak up. Especially if it’s related to human factors. It’s natural to want to thought things out, but it’s next to...
