I figured I am too old for the program... So I will give Army Aviation a shot... Thanks for the reply...

Thanks klray77, Now I don't have to worry about if I could make it to pilot option or not. Requirements in OPNAVINST 1420.1 and OPNAVNOTE 1530 are different. I guess one is the older Seaman to Admiral program and the other is the new STA-21.

I have been looking for information if the STA-21 selectees go to OCS after completing their degrees. OPNAV 1420.1 says "Following degree completion, selectees will attend Officer Candidate School (OCS) and upon successful completion, be commissioned as officers in the Unrestricted Line." On...

I looked for this information but couldn't find anywhere... The official website says : 1.Selection 2.NSI 3.College 4.Commissioning It sounds much more like a NROTC program and you go to NSI, so why do you go to OCS? Can someone shed some light on this situation?

Question: On the STA-21 website the education path is like this: 1.Selection 2.NSI 3.College 4.Commissioning So there is NO OCS? Right after college graduation, you are commissioned?

Bryce, what I need to learn is when to say "no" to the computer and the internet... Sometimes I sit in fron of this machine for 6 hours straight I am sure I will get back to a good diet... As soon as I hire a drill sergeant to motivate me... Why would I have had an EKG? In 1995 for my...

Yea I have listened to this many times before... But what was the reason he pooped I missed that part?

A question I have been wondering... What is the age limit for this SNFO to SNA transition program, does anyone know? Robin? For instance, can a SNFO apply for a SNA transition after his first tour when he is 32, 33 years old? Thanks....

Thanks Bryce for the reply ... Ummm, I had my blood sugar checked a few weeks ago(isn't that the one which tells you are diabetes or not) and it was OK. Don't know about blood iron though... I don't have respiratory, pulmonary disorders I know that... My last EKG was in 1998 and it was OK too...

Is this the sound clip where the backseater poops his pants?

Thanks for the replies guys... Bysun, what can be wrong medically? What do you think? I don't feel anything wrong... I thought maybe cardio system but I have been tested thru 1995-1998 in flight school. (That was in my native country) I guess I have a high metabolism.. Because I eat good...

"My last run time was 9:52 for the mile and a half." Gosh... How are you guys running that fast? I am 5"11 and 135 lbs... Why can't I run that fast?... I can do a mile in 8:45 to 9:30 and then I am out ... Why? Why can't I keep up? After a mile I lose my pace and slow down... I don't feel any...

It is cute man...

Well, I wouldnt count PS2 arcades as "simulations" in the first place... As others said above, you should get MSFS 2002 where you can pratice instrument procedures. For Naval aviation I would highly recommend Jane's F/A-18... That sim will teach you a lot about naval aviators combat...

Well I am not even enlisted yet but I have set my sights and motivation on STA-21... Is there any previous active duty requirement for STA-21? Like at least one year of AD? or can you apply whenever you can after starting active duty? What is the selection rate for STA-21? Is it pretty...

Esday, it seems like only you and I asked about this condition... I think when it is less than 10 degrees it is not even called scoliosis. My first measurement was 4 degrees which was in Dec. '02... It is pretty good, but my only concern is what if it progresses? The AF limit is 25 degrees in...

Thanks Dave, I couldn't any information regarding Navy regulations...

Does anyone know if scoliosis is disqualifying for Naval Aviator training? I have a very slight case... As far as I know, the AF has a 20 degree limit for scoliosis, how about Navy?

Hey guys... Download this... Especially you country lovers... then all americans... it is a great one... http://www.clintblack.com/iraqandroll.mp3

Why Knighthawks? I think that is my fave squad from Jane's F/A-18 simulator... I like to have faves Hmm 2008 sounds good, Lord willing if I become a SNA by then, I may even get to fly with VFA-136... Thanks for your help man, I appreciate that!

Is it possible to cross-train from NFO to NA down the line? "But those who hope in the LORD, will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

Is that the Public Affairs Office? sounds like it... Anyway, thank you for the info Brodie... Knighthawks' website is down, I couldn't find any information, does anyone know when or if they are gonna get Superhornets? "But those who hope in the LORD, will renew their strength. They will soar...

Thanks ea6bflyr... :)

Thanks man, you rock... Navy ROCKS... Actually I am interested in this one... And i think the jacket is called G-1...

Naval Aviator's Patches, Flight Suit, Uniform I know that Naval Aviators place their patches different than the AF guys on their flight suits... But which patch goes where? And what is the code for the leather jackets for the Naval Aviation? I have an AF A-2 jacket but I am going to sell it...

Great video, I also got some of the hornet pics, they are great too IMHO... I have a Hornet video from Boeing, it is some 63 megs, but I don't know how to post it since I don't have any webspace. Anyone can host?

I think you can even start using ear plugs now... "But those who hope in the LORD, will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

Thanks guys, I am sorry, I didn't mean to ask a dumb question, but I guess I worry too much, thanks for the replies...

Man I really don't know... Seriously, most foreign countries, (including where I am originally from) disqualify people for this kind of tiny things... Their reason is that you won't look "cool" when you become an officer... Whatever! Anyway, it is not comfortable to have a scar in the...

Guys, I had an unfortunate accident today and now I have 3 stitches on my forehead right above my right eyebrow... Most likely it will leave an inch long scar... (hope not) Do you know if it is a reason to disqualify in enlisting?

That damn forum is full of Pakistanis and Indians who hate our system... I am not freaking Buchmaster nor Mohan... I am Bushmaster and I have moved to another forum... I left this stupid one... After I posted the letter from the Naval aviator every single pakistani hated me, I received hate...

Let me know if you need any help, because there are so many updates, patches you will need to download for Falcon...

Yes Falcon 4.0 is a classic, after the producer company ditched the game, the flight sim community took over and they have done miracles with Falcon... From the engine start to shutdown, it is as real as a F-16 sim can ever get... On the other hand, since I ditched the AF and turned to Navy...

Thanks Lang for the reply... What is BUD/S contract ? :)

It is such a pleasure to come across a thread like this... I am so glad there are so many Christians in our military... I am willing to enlist in the Navy and this was my question, too... Got my answers :) EA-6B1, would you like to keep in touch?

Guys, I am going to enlist in the Navy and I have no idea how PFT is like for Navy Basic Training... I definitely need some work, but I don't know what areas I should focus... How many pushups, situps? What is the time limit? Will there be any pullups? Will there also be swimming & running...

Hi guys, I found this information on the net for you, it requires Powerpoint though... I hope it helps...

Guys, would anyone send me used ASVAB books, guides if you have them and not using them anymore??? Thanks...

Oh :) Alright ... Will do sir! John

Can not they issue a waiver for that one little week? I wish you the best Fiveyears...

Dear Geerst, Thank you for your reply sir... Do you mean a pilot's license by saying an aviation rating? I currently hold a foreign CPL/Instr. rating with 288 hours though it needs to be converted to FAA standards eventually. You are so right, the options in the Navy are all good :) And I...

Dear Geerst, I am looking for some advice how to get prepared for enlistment in the Navy. I am currently waiting to become a permanent resident of the US and I have so much time in my hands. Worst thing is until I become a resident alien, which may be 6 months or a year down the road, I can not...

If it was not only for a few good people I help there sometimes, I would never visit that forum, it disgusts me... I think that forum should be monitored by FBI or something and those hate-monger posters should be rounded up... Who knows one day they wouldn't serve these dark forces against USA?

I posted this awesome letter on an immigration forum where I sometimes go and help people with their immigration matters. Unfortunately, I again witnessed that the ENEMY is also is living among us... I'd appreciate it if you go visit the link and give those morons a chew...

I have a similar problem, I am 25.5 right now but I will be close to the cut off age when I become a US citizen and be eligible to apply... So I am also considering a NFO slot where the cut-off age is 32. My recruiter in Rapid City SD tells me that it is possible to cross-train if you are a NFO...

Robin & Aslam Guys, thanks a lot for the responses... Lord willing, as soon as I enlist in the Navy, I can apply for expedited citizenship under President Bush's EO#13269... That is how I am thinking I can obtain US citizenship in maybe a year(by active duty service) My vision is not that...

Hi guys, I am writing from Rapid City SD, and this is my very first post on this great forum, and I apologize in advance if this is the wrong section to post... I am an immigrant and living in the US for 3.5 years... I am currently married and I will become a permanent resident of the US in...
