That is re-damn-diculous. 45 hours with a 45 minute break to sleep. That's crazy.

Bad day for this pilot. I guess TFR's are important to check if you are running Drugs. Sorry if this is a repost.. I couldn't find anything.

If there is a Private Jets forum, could I get added?

I think heads just exploded.

I just wonder what the SERE Instructors thought when they read that story. "Come out! We are here to help!" "Sweet!"

MID Fight! I was looking for a distraction from studying for my triple pump tomorrow.

I feel pretty lucky. The one time I 'lost' an ID, I told whoever was in change of me (at API) and was told to just go to PSD, and they just made me a new one. 10 minutes to 'code' the new ID or something. In / out and no hassle. Being a 2 month old Ensign, at API, I thought my nuts were...

I guess he subscribes to "Go big, or Go Home." I would think you would have to be pretty dumb to lie about our most distinguished medal. Well, pretty dumb is lying about Service in the first place. More like exceptionally dumb.

They have KEYS???? Shit. I need to study.

That's the first thing I thought of when reading that article. You only get one chance. I would think it would be VERY difficult to aim for a specific part (i.e. Cockpit or tail), eject, and still hit it. You would probably need a pretty quick closure rate to maximize the damage. It would be...

I was a Freshman in high school. And probably the only one without a cell phone, so I knew something was happening, but the rumors kept changing. At one point, people were talking about a nuclear attack, to war, to an accident. I distinctly remember coming home, and seeing our TV on with the...

The flight docs here are great, but when I had a medical question about whether I would be able to fly, It made me feel better to see it in Digital black and white. Try here: NAMI Waivers. Heres what I found: Edit* Even if this DQ's you, I would still talk to a flight doc.

Well, from the article, I don't think this is corn based. It's planted on poor land or between wheat crops. I don't know if it contends with corn production in the slightest (yet). I've heard talk about ethanol drying out things like gaskets and such... But I've only heard it talked about...

Blue Angels use Biofuel. So, I don't know much about the topic, but thought it interesting. What do you guys think about the viability of this Great Green Fleet? That is a lot of biofuel. It seems like biofuels haven't really caught on much based on what I see... so how do you think this...

I second Lakefront. I went there on a Primary O&I and we took their car into NOLA for some good food. KPAUL's Louisiana Kitchen = good food and 50% off the entree. The FBO looks really nice too, and its a fun airport to fly into. I don't know if a T-45 can do the river run, but its a lot...

I think you legally have to keep that in quotes... ;)

I never got a waiver for my wrist, and then got to advanced, and the doc told me I NEEDED a waiver... and it took a long time to find where it said that 'retained hardware in the extremities does not require a waiver' or something to that effect. But it does say no waiver needed.

I have a plate and 2 screws in my wrist (installed in High school), and it was a pain with the paperwork, but I am currently flying with no restrictions. I know that for me to get PQ'd for flight, I had to have the Xrays and the surgeons notes saying it was "Not palpable" and that I had "Full...

Definitely true. Its more like a lack of critique. Some of my favorite debrief words? "No issues on the...(insert phase of flight)".....If it's Friday, and the war room is open, you might even get a "Good job on the _blank_." In general, the shorter the debrief, the better you did.

I think I know who you are talking about. Only one instructor comes to mind with the sudden snatching of controls. I remember a FORM flight where I was fighting the stick and throttle the whole time on a join up... On one, I literally just rode the controls and watched the plane join up. His...

Hahahahaha. No. (IMO) An Engineering Degree can _CAN_ help you earn a scholarship or maybe rank higher (if you don't tank classes).... but I haven't seen any split in flight school performance (as another student) from the Aero. Engineers to the Womans study majors. All the math in flight...

"Somebody likes you!" Yeah new Navy! Edit to make this slightly constructive- Are the trophy titles customizable?

My personal favorite. "Ever been flying and you want to know your pilots background? You can tell by the landing. USAF pilots land harder to reduce speed quickly as they would do on an aircraft carrier, and the other branches give you that nice smooth landing that takes a little longer."...

If you are at the ASTB Stage, you have many, many hurdles before the Navy chooses where you go. Take em one at a time, because if you're looking at the one 18 months down the line, the one right infront of you will trip you up. As for the only important question up there: Your performance is...

Ok, I have had about a 50-50 split on instructors telling me how to do a penetration approach. So, just for shit n' giggles: Dive to platform and then drive in to the next point? Or suck the boards in prior to platform to arrive at the next point on the approach at altitude? I have been...

I am in no way saying that I am better at BI's than you. I've never seen you fly, and I am new to the T-45. I was just telling you my impressions of the -C vs my only other experience, T-34, seeing as how you expressed that you didn't know what it was like in the -C. I have no clue what an...

I honestly can't tell if you are joking, as I just finished BI's in the charlie, where I thought it was pretty simple. The digital alt is smaller, but still has a sweeping 'needle'... plus the standby...not to mention the VVI. There's plenty of options for a decent scan. Me... I slowly set...

So a purely Hypothetical situation :watching_.. I went to my Checkin Physical today for advanced, and noted that I had no waivers, and a plate in my wrist. Flight doc was surprised and stated 'all retained hardware needs a waiver'. Is this true, because I jumped through an ass ton of hoops...

Approach Plate App.

Pretty much, but you have to really speak into it.. It helps to get a good seal around the lips. Back up O2 as well, so be sure to take a deeeep breath.

How on earth did they get our gold all the way down there? Ok time for the serious face.... From the sounds of it, its going to be one hell of a job for anyone to mine. Its going to be a while before anyone sees any income from this. Or is that totally off base?

Now thats a game face. He looks like he is having a staring contest with the Camera. Silly SWO.

From what I have heard, the one of the biggest problems with the railgun technology is longevity. They pretty much chew themselves up with the massive forces being applied to the barrel, as well as the ship. Doing some advanced aviator math for a minute- E=.5mV^2. Thats a really, really big V...

I was just about to post this... and Yes, I wonder if they lost a bet. Thats the only acceptable excuse.

Right, cause I'm sure this is going cause API to cut class sizes. They can't just draw from the months and months of waiting ENS and 2LT's. Class people up like normal, and while the Stashes wait, they can do some actual helpful work instead of shredding papers.

OH NOES! Is there any gouge to help people study for it??!?! What does it do to NSS????!? LoL It would still beat that ****ing air in the eye test. Some sadistic asshole is laughing in his grave over inventing that one. And now to atleast contribute something to the real topic: My...

I hate these color vision tests.. Is it a 76? I see a 76.

I am actually just finishing up the 4100 block. I got massively airsick when the Instructor Demo'd the Spin/STS (as in puked, took the controls to push.... passed controls to puke again, and was face in a bag all the way back Home.) Then I did the spin myself in 4102, and felt 'off', but the...

Its really simple: If you serve in the military and it is readily apparent on Facebook, don't post politically charged statements, unless you enjoy getting angry looks from your bosses. Problem solved. And this really boils down to Rule number 36 for the Clinically Retarded: Don't talk...

Maybe I'm reading a different article.. but I didn't see that mentioned once. On an aside, isn't there just one smoking lamp on a sub (fast attack anyway)? If memory serves me right, I thought it was in a rather out of the way area.

....And it begins..... ;D What community do you all think is next? P.S. How the crap do you do smiles?

You could always extend your A-Pool fun by making a name for yourself. I heard that Driving Golf-carts into Waffle Houses, and Shooting at Birds can help lengthen your enjoyment. :icon_tong

Very tricky with the white font.. lol.

I would definately discuss this with your Unit Staff. I had a buddy in ROTC that was NPQ'd, and he told me one of the nails in the coffin was Accutane. He took the medication before even showing up to the Unit. Just make sure you get a straight foward answer; I almost got bit on a few...

Haha, now everyone knows how many numbers are in your SS and on your CC! Idiot. lol 50 posts?? crap.

If I recall, the AF flies DA-20's for IFT.. It's deffinately not cessnas. And personally for me, I feel that IFS hurt my radio proceedures for my first few primary flights. IFS radio calls were extremely informal and lax, which I learned real quick doesn't fly in primary. In General IFS...

Wow, Well I thought it fact untill you brought it up...Thats what I was taught (or at least what I remembered). After looking into it I guess I was wrong. I stand corrected. You don't know what you don't know.

And I thought that your credit limit was viewed as debt in the eyes of a lender. It is money that is pretty much available to borrow, no real questions asked. If you have a 20k limit, you can pretty much run 20k up after you get your loan. No?

I know this is an old old old post... but: Ummm, No. You don't build credit by leaving a balance. You give free money to the credit card companies. That is straight up bad advice. Oh and by the way: A high credit limit will not help you with credit. It actually hurts you when you want...

Any Specific reasons for this statement? I am renting from them, and haven't had too much to gripe with...yet. What should I be on the lookout for?
