What's "91 non rev" mean in reference to an empty leg? ..Hmmm, thanks to this thread and the "AW's in person" thread, I now know who Puma Swede is (I'm not much for porn - except maybe Super Chevy :D).. and that an aviator displaces about a firkin ... but I still have to turn to the lovely...

Well, Pat just happens to be flying for various reasons, and invites me along. We don't meet with the intention of doing flight lessons; there is no material review; no formal ground lesson; no set topics that we cover; nothing formal or official about it... doesn't that combination make...

Thank you guys! (And I mean "guys" as respectfully as possible). Pat is a CFI, I do get basic info (and experience) on instrument flight too, I will definitely soak up all the time and knowledge I can get out of this sweet deal on top of outright enjoy it, and: "Tun = Butt × 2 = 256 gal. (A...

You don't think it will help in terms of my ability, or in terms of my competitiveness as an applicant? Or both? Is there a numerical equivalent of "butt ton"?

I've searched using the search function and also by browsing, and haven't found anything about unloggable flight hours. Shame me if I'm wrong. Two Questions: 1. Is the Navy interested in unloggable flight hours of potential candidates? 2. Is there any way to document unloggable hours? (I know...

I always really enjoy your pics over the Bay, Spanky!!! Keep 'em coming! Great shots too Markkyle! Oh, heck, great shots Everybody! I don't think I've yet seen a picture in this thread that I haven't at least liked a lot (ok, there are a few). Seriously, when I only have a minute to jump on...

Through six degrees of separation, anyone can find any prestigious, high muckety muck person they want to write a Letter of Recommendation for them. While off-the-cuff networking and BS-ing may come in handy in the future, it doesn't sound like the Navy's too concerned with those qualities...

Starkly informative. His even-toned narration is so appropriate for the high-intensity footage. I can think of more than a few severely misinformed kids my age that should watch this and get a freaking clue. Thanks for sharing, and thanks to Mr. Chivers and Mr. Harris too of course.

Warthog O! The beastly cannon! What a bitchin machine! And an impressive pilot and team to boot. Great show!

Chino Cats meOW!

That was awesome. :D Made my night. Thanks for posting it! "Holy sh*t" - Oh, how it must be holy at a time like that.

After performing a series of aerial maneuvers to impress and entice their counterparts (above), each member of the puteulanus angelus "Blue Angel" species, selects a suitable mating partner, and occasionally, a rare public display of mid-air mating occurs (below).

Congrats on your new pickle. My grandparents had a dog that looked just like him; also almost completely blind. He lived a long, hard, and happy life. I wish the same for yours! Can human "breeders" do this too? Certainly could improve the gene pool. :eek: :icon_smil :icon_wink

In the world of waivers I've heard just about anything is possible. Except for an age waiver for USNA entry. Can any credible sources verify?

He needed new jeans? ...Did they rip as he tried to "take off his underpants" with unrestrainable excitement?

Sightings! ...and a restoration project. Anyone have any spare right cockpit windows lying around?.. :D

Breaking story. Apparently the guy is licensed for single engines, but this was a King Air: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/passenger_lands_plane Pretty cool.

It's in stealth mode

Yakovlev 3 Soviet Yak 3U Firing up, front seat, back seat, rear view. Even got a few minutes at the controls! They were delicate, yet precise. I never experienced such a rate of climb! Fast, loud, smoky... It was a pleasure to make her acquaintance.

Even of those projects which are "well beyond the test stages" that somehow make it to getting "mentioned" by the Chinese, I bet little would be revealed with regards to their weapons' full ranges of real abilities. They have 2k+ years of practice at keeping tight lips so as to facilitate the...

I haven't tried them myself, but they mention customizing bras for that specific problem: http://www.enell.com/custom_sizes.php Finding a perfect fitting bra is almost as heavenly as finding perfect fitting jeans... good luck!

Congratulations Carolyn!!! ... is there a good reason you can't be PM'd?

Too many "freak" incidents in too short a time. I hope we figure out who is interfering with our nav systems and shut down their little operation soon. OR straighten out whatever lack of "basic seamanship" there may be contributing to making us look like *expletive*(plural).

Experts agree

To those worried about leaving too soon: There should be a place on the application for you to specify the date after which you can make it to OCS.

Imminent Beauty Ohhhh I would love to fly that hunk of metal... Wish we could mod her for carrier ops! Anyone know if there are gender qualifications for being Spec Ops' air support? Thanks for the Enforcer link too - what a neat plane!

Interesting how "resources" suddenly became a noteworthy factor in the pre-acquisition process just last year. Did we think they were unlimited before? :confused:

Opens very smoothly. Sturdy. Emerson touts the "wave feature", that hook looking piece on the back edge, which allows you to pull the knife out and open it in one movement. I'd rather open it "normally" though than rip a hole in my pants or skin. Fits nicely in my small hands. Wicked serration.

laugh... laugh... lose lunch...

P-47 Training Video ...doesn't belong here.

yes

It was SUCH a big deal when NAS Sunnyvale was originally built... there was a parade for the event... it was the Bay Area civilians who raised money (half a mil in 1930!) for THREE YEARS to acquire the land they sold to the Navy for $1 - that's how much it was welcomed! What the hell happened...

It's a yummy pick me up! "tira" = (from tirare) to pull, draw, or move "mi" = me "su" = up Che deliziosa!

Supplemental section was timed on mine too.

The application (this version) does say "Submit Official Results" next to "Entrance Examination Results". ...About a hundred dollars 'cause they're so "old" (they're not) - I'd rather put that bill towards my next flight lesson. Anyway, my app says other stuff that is apparently extraneous...

Do we need to submit official SAT scores when applying for OCS?

For reference, my supplemental section was entirely aviation.

Just passing on the words of my gun guy, who says everybody's been stocking up - you, me, the folks down the street, grandmas polishing their old 38 specials - even suppliers are stockpiling their own ammo, refusing to distribute to stores. Reasoning is, if metals and tangible goods...

Rockthebloc, as another person currently writing/revising the MS and receiving advice and feedback from worthy sources, I will impart this: The smack which hath been laid down upon my own original nauseatingly journal-entry-like motivational statement clearly indicates that this question "Why...

Is score affected by the amount of time one takes to complete each section?

Good point, Godspeed. I've seen several other MS's floating around here and people seem to give decent feedback and critique, which is why I encouraged matta to do the same. That being said, your privacy and identity can only be protected by you, so use common sense if you intend to remain...

Just post it.

History? For those who have taken the test, how much history is included in the nautical and aviation portions? Oh, and Texas, just keep browsing the site. From what I've read, if you can make up for the weaker aspects of your package by being notably strong in other areas, you can very...

Jackie Chan, NASA, and Aerodynamics Jackie Chan's the "human flying machine" in an episode of NASA's "Why Files" educational series. This episode happens to be on basic aerodynamics. I just had to share. Watch at 17 minutes: http://www.internationalspacearchives.com/assets/739
