    best place for name tags?

    For what it's worth I am headed to Whidbey in a few months and being a Florida boy I did not want to freeze my ass off while on the TG waiting list. So I decided to take a gamble and order a patch from the OP's site last night around 10pm. According to the order status it is complete and...

    Booking Hotels in Germany/Austria

    LOL Yeah I'd rather my vacation not be me introducing my wife to what a command function looks like overseas. We considered the cruise and it sounded fun but I like the idea of driving through some of the mountains and one horse towns along the way. @Lawman: Thanks for the advice on...

    Booking Hotels in Germany/Austria

    To kinda answer both your questions in one swoop, we wanted to hit the Christmas market in Stuttgart because we heard its one of the largest. But that's about all we see worth going thus far and judging by what you two say perhaps we will look in alternative places to check out since we are...

    Booking Hotels in Germany/Austria

    Haha yeah we seen that American resort. Def wasn't what we were looking for.... Looked awesome for sledding but if I wanted pizza and burgers I'd of stayed home ;). Update though, we got our place ironed out in Garmish nice little BnB. And scouting a few others for the other random places we...

    Ladies and Gents, Just wanted to throw this out there to see if any of you have any input.... My wife and I are going on our honeymoon this Christmas to Germany. We started looking into rooms and went ahead and booked one or two since apparently that time of year is a huge deal. I finally...

    Vt-2

    Loved my time in VT-2 It's Primary so it is what it is... just bust your ass, learn your procedures and EP's , do your thing and don't bring unwanted attention to yourself and you'll be alright (NOTE I did not use any type of synonym for quick... Weather in Milton will not have that.)

    P-8 Selection

    Just skimmed through this since the O.P. was from a year or so ago, and noticed some talk from the FO side of the house... I am about to wing in a few weeks out of SNA (BTW the M from what I understand was a Air Force idea) advanced. From what we hear we are told the day before or the day of...

    Well since everyone beat me to the smartass comments I'll just ask where was the please?

    Smartphones the norm?

    +1 to that...Coming from someone who loves to cut corners this is balls on... I learned this lesson the hard way, and fortunately early when I was in API. got blasted on Aero 1. Most of that gouge for API is like trying to sift for gold in a pile of shit. A lot of student cultivated...

    Smartphones the norm?

    <3 both my Ipad and my 4gs .. although I feel sometimes Siri requires you to talk like a hipster for her to understand commands. Apparently my "Floridian" (aka no accent) annunciations don't fit the bill sometimes. And BTW to the OP no, the schedules are never in stone until usually the night...

    NSS Facts

    I am failing to see how anyone could be spending the time sweating their NSS. I am too busy staying balls deep in the books and practicing briefs/chair flying for the next day..(ESP given the crap wx) After seeing that page in the JPATS that has the stupid huge equation and breakdown I...

    T-6B NATOPS

    Well from reading most of this its good to know that I am right on the power curve coming out of API by wanting to chill for a few days and play Battlefield 3 and not sweating the NATOPS or T-6B syllabus before I hit Milton

    The basics of API

    I just had lunch in cubi a few weeks ago for the first time (Just got down here) I can only imagine the shenanigans that went on in the P.I.

    Prior enlisted to NROTC. anyone else in my shoes?

    I wont lie..I just kinda skimmed through this thread and really only read the OP (Kinda been busy unpacking stuff in my place and getting yelled at by the girlfriend) I did exactly what you did and recently commissioned this last may and currently in the aviation pipeline now so I really wanted...

    1/C summer cruise options

    I may be a bit bias because I've been to San Diego but Oklahoma is fun too during the summer! All depends on what you like... Beach girls or Mid west girls =D Although in OKC the beer selection is slim. On a professional note San Diego is closer to alot of other bases so you get a better...

    5/5/5 good enough?

    All things considered though with that being his last attempt that's all about how froggy your feeling risking that last one
  27. Pistol719

    5/5/5 good enough?

    All depends on what they need but I've seen people get it with lower..you sound pretty solid, maybe bring the GPA up some but other then that it overall you seem legit

    Orders??

    I sorta also heard the same thing about schools opening up some.. Our middies got taken off the IRR list as well. I am crossing my fingers that what I also hear is true that some of the swo selectees (like myself) are being considered for pilot/nfo slots (which would be cool since I already...

    swo tours

    Like the gentleman before me mentioned. Not a smart idea to post alot of PII, But to answer your question in it's most obvious format, yes you would be on a ship for two years. The smartass side of me wants to tell you this is the Navy were you expecting not to goto sea? But then the realistic...

    Two year college program

    I also was a 2 year scholarship guy (Actually graduating this spring) And just like the previous posts have said you wont know your chances unless you apply...

    Waiving part of calc/physics requirements for commissioning

    LOL thanks for the advice ladies and gents.. Yeah I figured i'd be sucking it up and pulling through to do it.. Calculus isnt hard.. I've actually already taken Calc 1 but I got kinda shafted by the prof and got a D.. ended up with a B in Physics 1 (Go figure you need to know calculus for...

    Waiving part of calc/physics requirements for commissioning

    Hey everyone, Tried doing a bit of research both searching through previous posts and randomly about the internet and could not find the answer to this question so I wanted to ask. In particular it is about the calc and physics requirements. I picked up the 2 y/r scholarship last year so...

    UPDATE: Been helluva busy with my first semester back to college and the holidays but I was able to get a number for the second hand shop up in Mayport and the woman that runs the shop (I believe her name was Max) was very very helpful. I made it up there on one of the days it was open, but...

    NROTC Rankings

    +1 and Agreed sir. to the OP, and anyone else wondering this for that matter. Ultimately you are going to learn more and be influenced more by your colleagues and classmates (i.e. MECEPs, OC's and Senior Mids). They are the ones you are going to be evolving around from a day to day basis...

    LOL!!! And tyvm bubblehead for that info!

    Uniform assistance in the JAX area

    Well my understanding from our supply guy was that the reason we did not get issued them in the first place is because A. They thought we got them in RI over the summer. B. My unit currently does not have any in stock to issue, but once they get them in we will be issued them. Definitely...

    Uniform assistance in the JAX area

    Yes sir I know, just kinda wrote this while it was fresh in my mind. I do not know my size off the top of my head, if I had to guesstimate I would say 34-36L But I am going to run to a store and find out this weekend before I made a call. And as for the post above with the NEX in Orlando, I...

    New service selection options this year

    Just wanted to see if anyone else has heard of this for upcoming service selection or next year. I am a 2/C MIDN and I had a initial interview with my LT a few days ago for the beginning of the school year. We were discussing getting my aviation physical started but also got into talking about...

    Sounds like you got a very solid package and I think you got a great chance of getting picked up.. Sorta the same thing myself and another buddy of mine did.. I am prior navy of 6 years and put my app in a few years after being out. But my prior good service helped tremendously. My buddy on...

    Order of choices in service selection

    I thought NROTC does not commission restricted line? Do they just randomly make you choose something there just in case all else fails? LOL btw good call on the SEAL EoD thing I was thinking of doing the same thing actually just for that purpose. I am fairly sure I am sitting good though for...
