One of of drags of forums is you just can't here sarcasm dripping from someones lips... :icon_tong :o :D :icon_smil <------Try using one of these little gizzmos. ;)

(Editted.) Decided not to get into a theological debate.... It should suffice to say that I disagree w/ MPH and his theory that God changes the weather. And also that I believe in God, all the same.

-2 from your man-points. lol

double check your link. it turns up w/ "Sorry, no matches".

huh. sounds rough.

Do you have to wait before each stage (wait-IFS-wait-API-wait-Primary?) What are your obligations in the mean time? What does an officer do whilst he/she is waiting to train?

Yes Yes

i've been to those dodea websites and they're pretty helpful. i found, like you said, that most of the schools are in the south. we're looking for other options now. it doesn't look as if dodd schools are the best route unless we're overseas in Guam or Japan.

Wondering how much it would cost to fly a family from say, Guam, to East States CONUS. This is hypothetical, since I don't YET have a family, so assume I have a wife and two kids (ages 3 and 1). From Japan? What kind of deals do military dependents get as far as flights go? And I already...

My fiance is a teacher. We were both wondering how easy it is for teachers to transfer and move around with a DOD teaching job. In the first two years of SNA flight trainging, there's a decent amount of moving around. How would her teaching job (assuming she got it w/ the DOD) be affected...

yeah, i imagine there is a reporter or two smart enough to link up to a source like this. lots of good material! although, i'm not sure who would take him seriously when his source is a website full of salty warriors and wet-eared wannabes.

They obviously want to blow it into the smallest pieces they can, so it doesn't enter the atmosphere anyways and foreign intel doesn't snipe our technology. Are they concerned that any of the people that are actually up in space will take a lug-nut to the chest whilst they're out fixing...

I think the reasoning behind OCS moving to RI is because it's a central area for a lot of the military education. Acadamy and such, you see. I did a little looking when I'd heard the news, and I imagine that has something to do with it. but like always, just not sure.

Right, and the flight physical at API is still a good 4 years away for me. Assuming I pass MEPs vision check in a couple weeks, and get selected SNA for the BDCP ("the scam that keeps on giving"), I still have a very decent amount of time before that API physical. My real question is geared...

How quickly does PRK deteriorate? I am gearing up towards the BDCP and worry that my vision won't cut it. I was perscribed glasses for 20/30 vision a year ago, and was told I have a very slight stigmatism. I go through MEPs in a couple weeks, and will find out for sure where my eyes are at. I'll...

I don't know about the waiver. I definitely wouldn't lie about it 2 years of therepy. And yes, OMITTING it would be as good as lying about it. :icon_tong oh, and.......... "Have you ever taken any illegal substances?"__________________________YES_[ ]_NO_[X]_

Thanks Ryker! And let it be known to all of you hosers out there hacking navy videos, "There will be justice!". *cough* Er...something like that. I like this version better. A little more footage too.

I'm sure that as a seasoned Contributor you'll realize that creating a "Hey look at this funny youtube video site" was not my intentions. :o I hope that EVERYONE keeps to the spirit of this thread and uses the footage on YouTube to spark more questions and stories about naval avitaion. I...

There's a lot of cool video on YouTube with naval aviation footage. Mostly a lot of personal footage paired with some popular songs. Lots of cool inspirational stuff to get those of us getting into the service (like me) even more geared up for naval aviation. And you can find videos on almost...

I'd like to check that out.

No way. You can never have too much to learn. Only too little of time to learn it. And that's not the case right now. Thank you for your insight.

Looks good, man. That site is pretty helpful. Thanks..

Ha ha, thanks huggyu2.

If a person were stationed overseas and brought his/her family with them, how easy is it to fly the family back to visit relatives? I've read that military can hitch rides in aircrafts on a space available basis. Does that cost anything? And how easy is it to catch one of those rides? Anyone...

Amen to that! Sorry, Ryan_Cunningham, for your misunderstanding of how I intended the term old bastard to be taken. I'm in full agreement with jg5343 and look forward to someday being known as "the O.B. down the street."

Yup. Same class. Mock is a cool guy, and you've really got to admire the old basterd, despite his jawing about the Air Force. He said he flew the 102s didn't he?

:o It'll be all in good fun. I don't think you need to have been a sea dog for 6 years before you can have a little pride in one branch or another. I am looking forward to having my own stories to tell about though...

Howdy everyone! First, I just want to say thanks to everyone for a great site full of lots of helpful facts! I've been a longtime reader. This is my first post, so here goes. I'm in an aviation class in college, Fundamentals of Aviation, and my professor is a recently retired Air Force...
