    Flat Feet

    i have flat feet and a pretty pronounced over pronation when i run. i got some of the motion control, arch support, yadda yadda shoes once and they about killed my feet. it hurt so bad to run in them that i threw them out after only wearing them for like a month. now i have shoes with little...

    Marine Air contracts

    Its a contract. If you dont want to adhere to it, dont sign it. If you do then be prepared to fulfill it. I would wait till i get what i want.

    Dos Gringos

    This thread is retarded. It was supposed to be about some goofy pilot band, not LULZ (H@IR FORCE SUXXXXORZ LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.... Has anyone heard DG's second album? Is it as good as the first?

    Do AirWarriors wear Pea Coats?

    Im not a squid so I can't be too sure, but i think the Navy still uses pea coats as a uniform item. I have kind of wondered in an off hand way if they are allowed to wear them in civvies. I used to have one, i still like the way they look, but i just dont need a winter coat any more...

    Which way is she spinning?

    interesting. at first glance i thought it was clockwise when viewed from above then something momentarily caught my attention and when i looked back i thought it had reversed direction, by the end i couldnt tell which way i was going. :( now i can see all perspectives

    The Great Flight Jacket Thread (wearing/buying Leather, NOMEX, WEP jackets/patches)

    when i was in API one of the instructors was the one to tell us that even though it was *authorized* for wear for students, it was kind of a faux pas. so you get a few random instructors saying that coupled with a boat load of "motivated" students and this is what you get.... in any case, it...

    Survival Knives

    exo, id just get a monosteel knife. Cold steel has a couple other kukris that dont cost $600+. I have always liked the design on a functional level. Nittany, long before Marines became enamored of the samshir style swords that the Mameluke tribe carried, people throughout the region used...

    Survival Knives

    ahh another victim of clever marketing... sanmai was created for swords, which are under entirely different physical stresses than a knife. while there is nothing *wrong* with a sanmai knife, there is no performance gain. anyone telling you otherwise is selling something or has been fooled by...

    What to wear (and bring) to interview

    i wore a tuxedo to mine *and* i camped out in front of the office the night before. I was a little worried about how I would take care of hygene but I have learned that enough cologne can mask *anything* so I felt pretty confident. I didnt want to leave anything to chance. If you have a suit...

    MCMAP Mandatory Training Mega Thread

    My pet peeve with this whole mandated deelio (and thats what it is) is that it makes tan belt redundant. If they want everyone to know the grey syllabus, why dont they just put them together to make the basic course? Then if some mos branch wants to go above and beyond the basics (which...

    beer in pensacola

    Wine World was my favorite. They had a good selection and they could get in pretty much anything i requested. Corpus on the other hand sucks donkey balls and one stores idea of "a good selection" in Kingsville was Guinness and Sam Adams :(

    first motorcycle

    no kidding. thats like playing high stakes frogger. jooman, dont get a cruiser if you dont want one. get the kind of bike you want and know that you will drop it at some point. a cruiser might be easier on the msf course but its not imposible on a sport bike. 250 is kind of small. youll...

    The DEBATE: Round 2

    i hate to say it, but what did you expect? There isn't an overabundance of varied opinion for sure... I think Obama won, only because McCain didn't say/do anything outstanding and he needs to since he's behind in the polls; not because Obama did anything super awesome either.

    That would be even more difficult than changing all our spelling to follow the IPA and just as big of a waste of time.

    THE DEBATE, round 1

    That was an interesting rhetorical tactic. You got suckered in and wrapped around the axle about a rather unimportant detail (which was what he was trying to do to McCain). You would have done very well at TBS.

    Hurricane IKE

    I hope it hits that "hole lot of nuthin" so bad that the Navy will decide that it would cost more to rebuild at K-Rock than to just relocate. XD

    seeking a flight school in Philadelphia area

    Go visit some of these places and meet the instructors. Finding a good instructor you get along with is clutch since you will be spending a lot of time with them. I've always been more partial to 141 schools since every flight is pretty much laid out ahead of time. The flip side to that is 61...

    Obama says we should learn Spanish.

    No it doesnt. It means they can read a little and write a little less. Good luck finding an Urdu teacher, BTW. I agree with zab1001 though, in a way. Thats why I took French and Japanese.

    dude, dont study now. you will barely have to study *in* TBS as it is. i suppose doing some boots and uts pt would be pretty good, but unless you find this particularly difficult i wouldnt sweat it too much man. a good habit to get into would be to start acting like you have a rod shoved up...

    Registering a Vehicle in IL, while in CA

    I did this while I was in VA. I didnt have to go back to IL in person but it was a huge paperwork hassle and i remember it taking a while as well. But that was like 2 years ago so i dont really remember too much else. I called up the DMV and talked to their military division (but i still got...

    SCOTUS affirms gun rights in historic decision

    Unions. Chicago is run by the unions. Heck i didnt even live downtown and i had joined two of them in my pre full time job days. And in that same vein, im not so sure my vote counts for much if i vote for McCain.

    How much math do youreally need?

    no. "Woman are time and money" is a description of the expression "women = time + money". are and is just mean equals. the thing could be corrected if the original statement said 'women are the product of time and money'. *that* is a description of the expression "women = time (money) i...

    How much math do youreally need?

    the first statement. "women are time and money" 'And' without any modifier implies summation. Women = Time + Money. If you make the initial statement more precise like "women (or girlfriends/wives so on) are the product of time and money" then it works. +1 to what ArkhamAsylum said. quick...
