cool! then taxes should be easy for 2008 since i haven't gone on cruise yet! so you don't need to report the scholarship money or loans on the tax form?

and while u are there in hell, just repeat after me -- "it's an experience i'll never ever ever have again.... and i'll never want to!" LOL! :p

u know, i realized this diagram applies even if u are a woman! thanks for that. LOL... (just met a highschool friend today at the movie theatre in my hometown and asked her how her all-girls school is. she said there's a lot of drama. so i said that it's good that i only have to worry about my...

am i supposed to get a w-2 form from the navy for the money I get in nrotc? for example, my allowance, the money for books and uniforms, etc? what about the nrotc scholarship money? or other scholarship money or loans from the school? does any of that need to be reported to the irs? how would...

what?!?! are you serious? LOL. :confused: guess I'm going into the wrong business then! i've never even had a drink!:o guess i need to step it up and do a couple things wrong and catch up to you people ;) :icon_lol:

oh. i see. i guess that means i WONT be going to everest base camp :icon_tong

ok. good points! :)

but i don't personally understand it. not the haggling part, that's cultural, but why they have to start it so high? why $250 for a $40 item? thats more than 6x. i find that really insulting because its like it says that ppl don't know what stuff is worth. :icon_tong and if you can start at $250...

yep! mom's talking about everest base camp next. :p summit day was very hard. felt like the hardest thing i ever did. the trip is 7 days up and back. we didn't use a tour company, but my mom hired a guide and 2 porters from the hotel we stayed at, the marangu hotel. advice for doing...

i don't know. but it's the middle of summer there! :o

Here you go! :D Us sneaking up on Kili. Kili looking forbidding up close. Mom and I on the summit. (BTW, this is the start of New Year's Day, New York time! we waited up there for the ball to drop in Times Square! :p )

can mechanical engineering be a 5th year degree? i'm asking because i jacked up my chem class this semester because i think i was overloaded. :o so i've asked my mech engineering advisor to lighten my load for the rest of the semesters. but now i don't know if i will even have enough summers to...

VMI will be marching in the Presidential Inaugural Parade on January 20th, all 1400 of us! :D we might be the largest group in the parade. apparently we were last time. http://www.vmi.edu/NewsCenter.aspx?id=32497 p.s. if you can read what are on the company guidon flags on the tv, i'm in delta...

great news for me! (i think) my LT told me that because of my summer school, i'll be headed to San Diego for CORTRAMID! :D she did say though that even if we have cars she wont allow us to drive around and leave base though. is that a new rule? (i don't have a car but was hoping to hitch rides...

that's probably because no one wanted to be the princess of the ball! (joke, joke :D )

yeah, that's actually what i'm going to do. ive got to get the chemistry course approved by my school, but then i can take it at my community college during the summer. i hope that it means it will be a lot easier! :icon_tong

thanks for the advice. i just sent some email to my nrotc class advisor letting her know that i have this summer school issue. maybe i'll get to go to san diego instead of norfolk :D

http://www.abbottuniforms.com also doesn't have it.

sorry for bring this old thread back to life, but i've searched on the online uniform shop and can't find this tiara. i'd like to buy one just because it's fun/funny. i might even wear it sometime. haha. if there is anything formal i can go to (but my school doesn't use navy uniforms except...

hey, thanks a lot. i looked through a bunch of the links and i'm now confused about something. i don't know why, but i thought we could choose between three different summer CORTRAMID sessions, but some of the google links talk about phases for CORTRAMID. and it seems as if there are only two...

anyone have the 3 dates for cortramid 2009? because i suck :o, i have to take over chemistry during the summer and need to figure out my summer schedule. :icon_tong

and what? it took you 11yrs to finish college? i still don't get how we get from high school to age 29 without yet applying if it was something you wanted so badly... what i was saying about OCS is that you can still be an naval officer at your age, just not an aviation officer. but if you...

idea #1 become a naval officer. if you don't turn 30 until after OCS, you could still make it. not aviation though. idea #2 become a military pilot. army would take you. and if you went army, you could apply to transfer to coast guard too. dude, you're too old for naval and air force...

no amount of info will make you younger though! :confused:

wow, you decided sort of late in life. try the army. army pilots can be up to 33yo or so when they start. don't wait 4 more yrs though LOL!

women are allowed to fly gunships in the army? i thought i read somewhere that in the army, women werent allowed to do combat air support?

go idea to gently ease back into running. it sounds like ppl have to do a ton of running at OCS, so its good for you to slowly build back up to it. maybe you also need custom orthotics?

but it's only 2 mins. i find its not an issue of resting during the 2 mins, its trying to cram as many as i can in 2 mins and finding ways to do them more quickly. holding feet tight seems to be important in this, and if any one has any suggestions for ideas for speeding up the situps more, i'm...

and you didn't mention that VMI also beat out USCGA and USMMA! :p (the USMMA thing has some personal significance since my Navy Junior ROTC CO was upset that i didn't apply to and didn't have any interest in, USMMA and was constantly calling me in to talk with her and the MC about why i...

VMI just got ranked #9 public university in the US (but behind USNA) in Forbes magazine's ranking of America's Best Colleges: http://www.forbes.com/opinions/2008/08/13/college-university-rankings-oped-college08-cx_rv_mn_0813intro.html...

juliet, have you been "fitted" for running shoes? arch pain is bad... you might not make it through daily running if you don't get that taken care of.

according to running warehouse, that shoe is designed for mild to moderate overpronation and it has a pretty high arch support. http://www.runningwarehouse.com/descpageMRS-A213OM1.html if you have a neutral arch, you might not be overpronating at all. did the ppl in the store observe your...

hmmm. it doesn't sound like they fitted you properly. what is the brand/model of the shoe? did they make you run with them and observe your gait from behind when running? also, what inserts did they set you up with? sometimes, you have to "break in" inserts because they hurt more than the...

wow... now ppl are blaming the israelis: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3583278,00.html

seems so unfair. whether he is really guilty or not, how can a court in the US properly understand what happened in a warzone? more importantly, how can a jury understand it? i think he would get a fairer hearing in a military court for the reasons others mentioned. hasn't it been true in...

if you decide to go nrotc instead of ocs, you wont go through MEPS, you'd go through DoDMERB. i mention this because there's a deputy director of DoDMERB answering questions on the serviceacademyforums.com site you might also want to ask about this also...

gotcha. i understand now. i guess for enlisted rates, not everyone promotes at the same rate. i thought he was talking about people who are doing STA-21. LOL :o

if we can try unlawful combatants in a military court, why couldn't they just do the same with contractors and others? couldn't they pass a law or something that would allow it? i bet it would be better than having a civilian court deal with it. in a civilian court, you wont have a jury of your...

thanks for the comments on #2. can i ask about #5 now? what is it about being a naval aviator/NFO which make promotions faster than for SWOs? and if aviators promote faster, don't swos promote farther? i mean, it seems the flag ranks are all stocked up with swos.

i don't understand a lot of what's in this UPI article, but i thought some people here might be interested. the military analyst author basically says that the russian military strategy/tactics surprised the west...

did you ppl see this video of marcus luttrell at the NRA convention? obviously he does spend a lot of time in bars! haha :p http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?RsrcID=2507

because said 17-yo girl then (18 now) didnt know at the time that her initials meant anything until some person here on AW commented on it! :( it doesn't exactly go in the dictionary, does it? :eek:

i was just teasing you though. :D did you follow my link? the answer to your question about the VIP code is there

yes... i hope you arent about to make a bad joke :(

hey layz! even i knew to do a search on AirWarriors when i went to register on SB ;) http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showpost.php?p=344698&postcount=8 and there are definitely a few midshipmen that post there, like one that just started posting here, vulcanx. :)

yeah, i was just joking about the DNS posting there. he posts pretty regularly and has offered to help out more junior officers with cool stuff like giving an personal opinion on their promotion packages...

nah, the tools are the ones saluting everytime he --> http://www.navy.mil/navydata/bios/navybio.asp?bioID=138 posts on SB. LOL. <---- (JOKE... she says as she looks gingerly around for any lurkers with lots of stuff on their sleeves :D)

nuke school isnt on saturday, is it? there are doctors that make saturday appointments.

can i ask about #2? so i know many NFOs end up as civilian pilots (such as Wink, and others here) but that must not be the normal "good job when you get out". what part of NFO gives you a good job when you get out which SWO doesnt do?

i bet they have to do something when their standing watch in the middle of the night! haha :D the thing that gets me anxious about posting on SB is that i feel like i have to start every post with "Sir, " and end every post with "V/R xxxxx". dunno why. (that and checking my capitalization :o )
