Since CAP, being a auxillary of the AF, follows military protocal it will definitely benefit your application. The more involved you are the more it will help your application. Being a voluteer pilot shows a higher level of dedication than simply belonging to the organization. Good on ya.

For NFO's, you're asked to fill out a dream sheet after your last flight in Primary. The next morning they hold a little graduation ceremony where they call your name, announce your selection, and your classmates clap. As I remember it appeared that they worked very hard to give you what you...

The walls of the API building used to be filled with fellow students looking for roommates. My preference is to live with the person who offers the largest amount of free gouge.

Call the processor in the office that your are dealing with. Have him check the Port Report.

If your Seal LOR'S are within six months use them, if not get three more and attach the first three as an addendum.

To back up what Rocky said. Applying for a commission takes only a few simple steps - 1.) Take the ASTB 2.) Applicant fills out required ADOBE forms - there is NO excuse for using black ink and having the recruiter do them for you - your a college grad - that's as kindly as I can put it 3.) Fill...

Spencer - What is the question that you need answered? If you've already applied for SEAL, i.e. sent a package to Tennesee, then it should be a simple process of re-submitting your package for pilot. If I remeber correctly, it consisted of a phone call and maybe a one page fax from the...

Ah Corpus isn't all bad. You can study at the Barnes and Noble.

Hah, that brings back old memories. I have have a VIP laminated card for your rental car from a few years back. Your not missing anything though. There was not much going on in a hanger after the airshow and there was a barbeque under a pavillon near the O'club. I'm sure if you ask around...

Mesa all but guarantees it's students a job for a fee, when they state that they hire 98% of the programs graduates. May people call this buying a job. Personally, it doesn't bother me, it's their money. I had to pay for my rating, so in essence I paid for my job and endured low pay at the...

Cobra-Commander: I noticed your location, are you going through the Mesa Program? The Mesa Program that takes a student from 0 hours to the right seat in 250-300 hours is what some people get mad about. This is known as PFT. But you'll soon find out that after six months on the line, no one...

You need to improve your 5/4/5. Study hard, i.e. there is no need to increase your PT scores. Keep working on the comedy routine, pilots love to laugh. I read your bio.

Run in the 7's??? Where are you getting your gouge?

Know that I'm CivLant Fleet can I wear mine with jeans and flip flops?

Do It!

I think chow hall and other OCS odities should be keep under lock and key. OCS is by nature designed to see how a person reacts under pressure. Having to recite chow hall procedures is only one of these tests. However, the more a candidate is prepared for the stresses the less impact the...

That P-3 thing sounds promising. What are you new? At least if your going to make up a lye about yourself to impress the ladies make it plausible.

As a counterpoint, remember illegal alliens are working in the U.S. now and are not paying taxes. If they were say, 20 years old, and were granted guest worker status they would have to pay into social security just like you. And much like you their money would fund the same people that your...

I was original going to say a high chart and a goverment issue pen. Find out how many miles a pen is on the mileage scale and divide by groundspeed WAG. Flip the pen over and over again adding additional calculated flight time each time you flip the pen.

Are you referring to preferred IFR routing? If so, check out the AFD.

Best to call the local court house directly and avoid asking questions like this one in the blind. Or you may be explaining to mister officer how airwarriors.com said it was legal.

If your an NFO and can get into the BOQ take it. When I went through many friends thought I was crazy for wanting to live on base and give up the housing allowanace, but I can tell you my floor was a daily meeting place for napping between briefing and flying. There were and I am sure still are...

And remember, the dunker is only under a foot or two of water. So don't panic. But I agree upside down and finding a single exit while wearing black painted swimming googles takes a little prior planning.

I think I'd be more worried about failing academically than physically. Unless you can't swim.

The 2.9 in a non-technical degree is the killer. You may want to inquire into the Army, seriously, you have a very good chance. Although with the Navy, there's alot of guys and gals that apply. The rec. from an 08 is impressive though.

Since Ensign and JG fitrep's were non-competitive, I never saw an EP on one - ever. Maybe this has changed, but not very long ago you weren't ranked until LT, correct me if this has changed. My comments on long days referred to a newbies ground job solely. Where an unqualified pilot/NFO was...

The Navy must have changed big time. As a J.O. I never worked until midnight let alone 2a.m.. I recall JOPA skip days and the best job I've ever had. As a department head you will work long hours, but rarely until then. What ground job works such long hours, I'm curious. Give the kid honest...

Don't forget there's always one who doesn't want to include the tip as part of the bill.

Wouldn't her legal name be Katherine and for short she could be called Kate, Katie, Hottie, or whatever.

Yes I have a simple solution. Monday - Run; Tuesdday - Run; Wednesday - Run; Thursday - Run; Friday - Run; Saturday - Run; Sunday - Rest: Then Repeat.

Ah, an airport at Sea Level offers little excitement. Try it in the mountains out west with turbulence that will shake your fillings loose. Don't forget that density altitude boys, I'm sure Riddle had you calc. it before each flight. You'll learn why some IFR approaches appear ver VFRish through...

You don't have any money, then try sticking your finger in your jacket for starters.

Aw come on.

Tis, Tis, are you sure you didn't selectively forget in the beginning and then after discussing your situation decide to fess up.

You could give your LOR'S a spot promotion. A little white out and a copier should get the process moving.

Resubmitting simply means signing and dating the forms. Plus you'll have to add your new job to your SF-86. All the forms you submitted should be on disk, hopefully, at the recruiting office. If they are not on disk and the recuiting office only has them on paper, I'd telling the recruiter to...

Make your choice solely based on what will ultimately make you happy. Some people like flying, and sing its' praise, others like to have a few martinis before getting on a plane. Deep down inside if you've asked this question you probably are not right for aviation and should do whatever makes...

Put whatever the minister wife had in hers'.

Please say they are strippers, whack, whack, whack.

The pay is better in the AF, what? Pay is determined by congress, i.e. a certain rank is entitled to a certain amount of moila. COLA, probably puts Navy and Marine pilots ahead of AF guys state side, because of the cost of living near an ocean. AF guys stationed oversees make more than Navy guys...

Call ALL ATP's. You will be able to recieve VA benefits since they are an FAR part 141 school. Also, they're quick - two to three days. The plane is a Piper seminole which is super slow and easy to fly. They'll send you the pseudo P.O.H, civilian NATOPS, only alot thiner, to study before you get...

You have your parents respect because of your moral fiber, your character, and your intestinal fortitude. Not for the job you hold. Your parents would hold you to a much higher esteem if they believed you were capable of making a mature decision for yourself, without seeking their approval. You...

Here's the best advice I can give someone with parental reservations. You are seeking a commission in the United States military, a job which requires a high level of maturity. If you need your parents approval, find another place of employment. I understand such comments from a high school...

I love it, when people are applying for a commission or any job for that matter, they are soooo gung ho. After their first deployment or several months doing repetitive tasks their B&Ming begins. It's work, a job, your not supposed to like it all the time. If you want to love you job all the...

$12,000 for door? He might have the 3.5 millon for retirement.

Dude let it go. Truth is in the eyes of the presiding judge. Fix you windshield and lip and move on. The Navy doesn't want to hear your side and I'd forget it ever happened. The cop had there license plate and told you to stop, bad advice. Your car keeps getting broken into, time to move.

Personally, I would simply call the OSO's office and set myself up to take the ASTB. This shows the recruiter that you not only want to join the military, but that you also have the motivation to prepare for an examination. After you pass the examination, I am sure he/she will be more than...

It sounds as though most of you have standards, don't worry the military will break them. Bring two pairs of beer googles on deployments, then you can increase the number of good looking women by two in any room.

I'll sum the book up for you, Two dudes go to DET Key West and talk about how the Navy used to be. They talk about how wild and crazy they used to be and how the Navy won't let them be killers and how newbies are all mouses. Two studs listen to their drivel intently. They speak of how women...

Airline contracts are public domain and can be found online. This will give you a jump off point. Remember also, some airlines have their own company based union and others have no union at all.
