Rotorhead, I do agree with you on this one, I did not agree with the post that made mention to that tragedy. I can still remember the day that I went to work, how horrible I felt, and wanting to do what I could for my aggie friends. Fun is fun, but bad juju to trample on graves. I...

I'm confused, is Tech a real school? Or does A&M suck so bad that they continuously lose to a no name school? Doesn't matter, both schools give that piece of paper required to commission, which is the ticket to the cockpit, which I'm rather fond of.

Correct on the "too many" but hey, gotta have someone out there to beat up on!!! Go Tech!!!! (May 99)

Tali, It's not like you ever work anyway!!! :-p Sorry I haven't called, is your number still the same? Congrats on commissioning!!!!! I have some news for you ;-) I'll try to call you soon, I'm on spring break, but it's not much of a break, I'm still busy as heck. I don't check this thing...

I doubt John will get to this anytime soon. but IF he does, AFROTC cadet

Hey Av, did you get the PM that I sent you?

I have to agree with Av Fan

First of all it was fun bantering, romper room threads just dissolve to this, what did you expect? As far as the 15C vs the 18 if we are talking pure ACM, then i would say it's gonna depend on the pilot. But if we are talking weapon system to weapon system, if they ever make visual, then the...

Look at your reference (an 18 pilot). Any actual pilot want to man or woman up to give their opinion of AF vs Navy air to air outcomes? Not looking for actual thesis here, just tell me who you would put your money on. I'm gonna take the 15C guys over the hornet guys for the simple reason that...

Since I'm headed to AFROTC, I'm very familiar with the PFT. I was looking forward to being able to graduate to the bike test. Looks like I would have to go to the Navy to do so. No deal!!!

Av Fan, or anyone, do you have the link for Kyle Schleppi's journal? He went through primary with the Navy, and then to Vance T-38's and on to the F-16. I've read the journal and I'm putting together a pilot process presentation for the cadet corps. I'm still searching other boards to find...

You'll have to catch the AF guy on his bike first. Apparently per the AF physical I will have to become a very accomplished bike rider!!! Av Fan, I know I will one day be an AF officer, but if I can't poke fun at some of the funny things the AF does, then I don't know what I'll do. Fact is...

The new Marine Captain was assigned to a recon company in a remote post in the desert. During his first inspection, he noticed a camel hitched up behind the mess tent. He asks the First Sergeant why the camel is kept there. Well, sir," is the reply, "as you know, there are 250 men here and no...

wings are wings baby, but ask the 18 pilots if they wish to engage with a 15 squadron anytime soon....sure they will say "we can land on the boat" But it's really hard to do that when you got "blown up" during the training flight....

Any of these schools that also have AFROTC would be your best pick. Atleast then you have a shot at seeing the light and crossing over to the blue.

sonny, I don't know if this actually works, but it works for me. When the arm think tightens up I take a deep breath and hold it until the test is over. It will slow your heart a little bit and will lower your blood pressure.

I've already addressed this Col. I tell all the girls that I have a tiny unit, that way I'm meeting or exceeding expectations upon weapon deployment. And you work for an airline, how far of a drive is it to MCAS from one of the SWA airports? That is a lame excuse from the OLD Col. Eliminate...

I suppose only the most aggressive reservist are allowed to be the "agressors" in the F-5's. That would explain the absence of some..... Eliminate distractions, focus on your goals and visualize what you hope to accomplish.

I believe you are correct on this one. Hey, I'm getting old, they say memory is the 2nd thing to go...... Eliminate distractions, focus on your goals and visualize what you hope to accomplish.

hahahahahaha, I'm not sure who got burned just then the USMC or Frumby....Hey Frumby, where is your camera when you need it? When Herb comes to push you off you snap that picture, and when he gives you the bird you DEFINATELY snap that picture!!!! On a side note, he is putting on a few pounds...

hmmmm my 5 digit employee # just doesn't seem so significant against someone that only has a 2 digit.....geez, I wonder how many of the originals are still around. I've only met a couple, Herb being one of them. Eliminate distractions, focus on your goals and visualize what you hope to accomplish.

Frumby what is the reason for the winglets addition? I mean my understanding is that they just provide better stability, so a more smoothe ride. One thing I know about SWA is that they try to operate as low cost as possible. Just doesn't seem like a necessary cost, and doesn't present any...

Av, you will just compete with AF studs. As for your chances of T-44's I would say it will depend what is available in your drop. That is why I want you to keep us updated as you go through. I want to know what the T-38 outlook from Whiting appears to be. I know you might not want that, but...

Dave, AV Fan is AF, so he won't be on the boat regardless. Can you field his question from an AF drop stand point? Eliminate distractions, focus on your goals and visualize what you hope to accomplish.

Steve STAND DOWN!!! Welcome Av. It's good to see some blue in this place! I'm going up on my 2nd OTS board and should hear something in July. I have been accepted to grad school and AFROTC as my back up plan. Do me a favor and keep in touch with the board, or atleast with me with your...

well I filled out the form where you show special consideration. It asks for the projected income for this year. Well since I'm still working this year and I'll work through August my projected income for this year is around $32K net and around 50K gross. Neither of these figures go well with...

Most of you know my story. Ok, here is the deal. I asked for X amt of dollars for student loans to get me through grad school. I was awarded X - $6,200.00. So you can see where my issue is. I have some money in savings and I can maybe get by, but I'm not sure. Here is my question, I know...

that link did not work, can you repost? Eliminate distractions, focus on your goals and visualize what you hope to accomplish.

Rules of Engagement sheet doesn't work. I have tried to play by the rules and you just meet a chick that has different rules. You see the rules of engagement are different from model to model when it comes to women. They are not quite as advanced as men, our rules are universal across the...

month wouldn't have helped. you would have had to apply about a year and a couple months earlier. the slots have been down to a trickle since about June of last year. April of last year and prior they were hiring just about everyone. Eliminate distractions, focus on your goals and visualize...

"The guy is moving too fast, The guy isn't moving fast enough" I swear, women have way too high expectations of men. I mean, they tell us that we are stupid, yet expect us to be perfect in timing, and remember certain dates like b-days and anniversaries. I think it's just the women's fault...

There are a few serious problems with this idea. By the time you could complete all of that in the best scenario would be 9 - 10 years and that assumes that you complete your degree, get commissioned and serve your commitment all very smoothly. That will make you 38, I'll go ahead and say you...

Unless there was another Hornet lost I believe you are referring to Navy Lt. Nathan D. White. I am almost positive that they found him KIA. Eliminate distractions, focus on your goals and visualize what you hope to accomplish.

don't forget the huge fuel pumps and access to the re-fuelers. Henne I was at Lake Belton this week, heard that there are going to be 16's at the Temple airshow next week. Do you have any info on what all is going to be at the airshow? Do you know if they are allowing people to fly in and...

I didn't catch that. I didn't know about his wife remarrying. How does that work? I noticed that his rank has changed while he is MIA. Does his wife continue to receive pay from the govt? I know this is bordering a morbid topic, but those that know me know that I wouldn't ask in morbid...

8th grade, that still makes me young right? I still remember that it was about 6:30pm CST when the news announced that we had started bombing Baghdad. I will be interested if any questions about LCDR Speicher are being addressed toward the higher up guys that are being captured now. I'll be...

gin_e, I hope I'm wrong, but you are just turning 25, that doesn't make you age critical. So if you are selected I wouldn't expect to be going to OCS anytime soon. Like I said, hope I'm wrong for you, but you might be spending your 26th B-day at OCS. And I'm not lying! Eliminate...

I saw that, I immediately started thinking of my best "wingman" story, cause I saw that contest and the first thing that came to me was "which one to use"..... Eliminate distractions, focus on your goals and visualize what you hope to accomplish.

thor44 do a search on this forum for ASTB, and for Marine study guide. Read as much as you can on this forum that has to do with the ASTB, it will help you a great deal. Should only take you a couple weeks at most to study for the ASTB if you have that guide. Best of luck! Eliminate...

Wiz, you aren't the fat kid that everyone makes fun of are you? Besides, sometimes food and women go together very well....so we can talk about both. BY THE WAY If any of you Aggies, or people that have had the pleasure of going to Freebirds in College station are interested, and find you way...

What??? *innocent look* OBVIOUSLY someone thought you tasted better than the other chips and tossed the variety pack, SOME of us haven't found anything that tastes that good just yet. BESIDES, I've been told that the selection gets even more vast when you are wearing a flight suit :-D...

Wiz, having a girlfriend is like having to pick one bag of chips from the variety pack and eating only that bag. Wait until the bag that you are tasting is so damn good that you toss the other chips away. Until then, enjoy sampling ;-) Eliminate distractions, focus on your goals and visualize...
