How long are typical AGR orders, and are they typically competitive to get in Guard/Reserve units or looking for bodies to fill them from SELRES pilots?

Apparently you won't get a PCS move until you get to primary. I think there is a 600 lb allowance for TAD but don't remember where I saw that.

Ok, thanks. I have enough for a small 1 br apartment. I'll just plan on stashing it in a storage locker until primary.

I read this as "leave all your shit at home until you get to your primary location", is that correct?

If you select pilot or NFO and dont have your ppl you will go to IFS before API while in Pensacola.

Tuskegee Airmen was one of my favorite movies growing up, this was much worse.

It wasn't really about flying and was all about race. There was also no real plot, it was just a bunch of asides strung together for 2 hours. All of the dialogue felt really forced and was just kind of awkward.

I saw Red Tails today and it was really, really, really bad. I would recommend not wasting your money, or at least waiting for it to be on netflix/redbox.

I think that was the movie flaps. Its a 10 minute short film.

Somewhat related... Do most people leave their car registration/DL in their home state during flight school?

I would like to see someone comment on this as well.

For me it was just the DD2807 and any supporting medical records.

My recruiter told me that if my medical paperwork is in then I didn't actually have to be through MEPS by the 24th, just have everything submitted. I had a waiver signed off today and am going to MEPS Friday.

Where is your OR's office?

Pro Rec!!! Ive been waiting to hear that for over 2 years! Congrats to everyone else selected and good luck to those who are going to keep trying.

I called my recruiter and he returned a voicemail. They worked today but no results yet.

Not my type of woman, but to each his own I guess.

I feel you guys. My first contact was July/August 2009 so its right around 2 years for me. I should be up for August though, SNA only for this board.

Hey robav8r, I just got back from Italy yesterday and we spent 3 days in Sorrento (same peninsula as the Amalfi Coast). It is a great place for sure. The people were nice and most spoke enough english for us to be able to get around. They did seem to appreciate making an effort in Italian...

I'm not sure why this would be. They will have a ton of applicants for this board (lots of $$$$ to send everyone to MEPS) and it seems like anyone selected will not be heading to OCS for at least a few months.

I was hoping the rapture might thin some of the applicant herd but alas it was not to be. Eaglei22-My recruiter also has not heard of the August board so we will see. Hoping something like LOR's expiring and getting booted from the board does not happen to me.

I was told by my recruiter they are waiving this this time around due to the long delay between boards.

I have not heard what will happen at this board but I do know that within the past few years this has not been the case. When I applied to BDCP ~2 years ago boards were limited to 150 applicants. First come first serve and everyone who did not get in got rolled to the next month. Levianthams-...

Do you guys know if we need to re-submit? I sent my stuff down in early march hoping for an April board.

I got an entry level job as an engineer there so I am pretty sure it is happening, but a last minute switch to Newport, RI would certainly be cool with me. You would probably hate KY. Easy gun laws, no liquor tax, and eventually you'll have to go to the Derby. Miserable. One good thing; you...

The law bans "Assault Rifles" which are defined, among other things, as: (A) A semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following: (i) A folding or telescoping stock; (ii) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of...

Unless there is a May board (looking pretty unlikely) and I get picked up I will be moving to Connecticut in July for a job. CT has the "pick one feature" law in place, with flash supressors being on the list. I wanted to buy a rifle around graduation time and figure that I will get a...

Has anyone had a flash supressor pinned/welded by Spikes to be AWB legal? I am considering a rifle from them and would like to figure out what this looks like.

I have always wondered about low passes/takeoff that are not over the runway, how do they not FOD the engine? Is he far enough off the ground that it is not an issue, or does the entire airfield get swept?

Has anyone heard anything about the number of packets they review at boards now? I remember a while back it was 150/board. Do they still have a limit or will the next board review everything they have?

Its the networks fault for failing to put up a "Don't attempt this in New York" disclaimer before and after the show. EDIT: And he wants to be a doctor? Hopefully they don't give him a medical license as he clearly lacks any type of common sense.

That's just how it is I think. Ive had this same experience with two different recruiters, they seem to just be busy. Mine has been really good about letting me know what and when I need to do things, he is just hard to get on the phone. I'm starting to think that talking sweet to us isn't...

Pilot?

Are interviews required now? My recruiter has said several times they are not, and has not had me schedule any. I am applying for OCS.

Eventually they will come up with drunken Shakespeare.

My mistake, I meant no disrespect and it didn't bother me at all. The site is great for me because a wannabee can hear what experienced guys BusyBee and others have to say, and I didn't want him to stay away because of a broken keyboard.

BusyBee, If it bothers you you can type your post into word using the *'s and do a Find/Replace. Copy and paste an h into the "replace" field in word Then just copy/paste the whole thing into your AW post.

And online forums....

I agree with you there, and I dont see #2 happening. $3-$4 million ransom is not much compared to the cost of a ship and cargo, and is really the only option to companies of countries who don't have a navy in the area to retrieve said ship.

Ive been following this and it is just sad sad sad. They killed two couples distributing bibles, why we dont take the boats and leave them floating there in the water is beyond me. This does not make any sense to me though, why would the pirates kill their hostages? They had to know what was...

+1 to the first person to know which British 747 captain managed with none, and/or why? (NO GOOGLE!)

Does anyone know if the flyover is going to be covered live? Either a major news source or online somewhere?

I just picked up a Smith and Wesson SD 9mm. I have always liked the feel M&P's over any other polymer pistols ive shot, but I went with the lower end SD. It feels the same as an M&P to me and the only sacrifices were the adjustable grip backs and dual mag/slide release that the M&P's feature...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Of course as soon as I posted I was able to get him on the phone and he spent some time answering all my questions, so I should have my app in before the holidays. Thanks again.

Saw this one at a fly-in in the San Juan islands this weekend. I was a little let down when google told me it was built in the early 60's but pretty cool anyways.
