The leadership decides to go gender neutral by changing the rating structure. Got it. They try to not spook the herd by telling them it will increase their job prospects. Classic. They should fix TGPS if they really care about a Petty Officer's job prospects outside of the Navy. Instead...

Autopilot off is the girl you have always wanted: she is gorgeous, does everything you want with no complaints as long as you stay within her acceptable boundaries, but Dad and your friends don't like you dating her.

I did read the previous posts, but it is still shocking. The board did select 70% for O-4, unfortunately, it was at the expense of our community.

The PERS-43 brief, from Tailhook 2013, is very informative. http://new.livestream.com/wab/tailhook You will see a graph which shows the aviation inventory for each year group. There is a change from YG04 to YG05; around 100 less people. Though it is not much, the selection rate for O-4...

I agree. Deployments are a known part of the job when we take the oath. That makes me wonder when did the TACAIR retention issue increase? Did it get worse when the deployments became longer or has it always been this way? From my understanding, the AF also has retention issue with the...

In no way was I trying to offend anyone by using that acronym. It was not a sophomoric attempt at humor, which is why I was saying "no offense" each time I used it. My whole post was being serious, and I was not trying to be funny. Thanks for bringing it to my attention that I used a poor...

The comment doesn't bother me at all, and there is some truth to it. If you are saying companies like the idea of hiring FAGs (no offense) more than other Naval Aviators, then it is what it is. The fact is that many 1310s, of all backgrounds, are still waiting for the "you've been hired" call...

You bring up a very good point. An EP guy from one squadron could be a MP at another squadron. I have always heard about quality spread as FNGs are assigned to their first tour. What is this based off of? Does the FRS provide input on Cat I's, and predict their career potential? Is it based...

It seems the best source of information is the StuCon Officer. He would know the options your friend has, rather than ask some of us. Unless, of course, your friend is trying to figure out a way to scam out of military service he signed a contract for. Then I could understand why you are...

Mind blown. The unauthorized memo, his campaign releasing the memo, and his buddy thinking he could truly stay anonymous...is there a circus in town? This is entertaining!

Thanks for the info! Hope it stays that way.

This question may have already been answered, but I haven't read the other 580 posts. How will this affect military members and their dependents? Will we still be required to buy this health insurance? It would be great if they have stipulations for this in the bill.

You're right, going to court is probably an emotional/mental win for everyone involved...especially a child.

Yeah, and cut off all ties to your child...sounds like a plan :confused:

Thanks for the replies! By upgrading the family camera, I intend to use it for taking pics of my kids and them playing sports. Chances are I may even make it a hobby because of how scenic the northwest is. The camera I have now is nice but the picture quality and zoom capability are...

Looking to upgrade my current camera and I have no knowledge when it comes to buying a camera. What I was hoping to get from this camera is something that produces great photo quality and can capture movement such as sports games. Not worried about the camera being bulky or needing...

1) To see guys play volleyball in jeans and no shirt 2) Without question, seeing you walk around the shower with a small towel tightly wrapped around...is a must 3) Maybe confirm that the plaque is really in the ladies room? 4) Hear you guys call each other, "Dangerous!"

Hookers and Blow? When investing, which one do I max out first?

Thanks for the replies! I looked at bankrate.com to browse the banks with higher yields. Most of those banks I have not heard of. HSBC was high on the list but I have also heard bad things about them. It looks like I'll probably go with ING. There seems to be plenty of threads on...

Good deal or bad deal? Read some brief plug for ING Direct quite awhile ago on some investment thread. Interested in what the current reviews are from any of you using them? It seems like a good place to put the emergency fund in since the variable APY is higher than regular banks. Even...

Pretty much the same for the others, regarding the HAPL. Speed, Clean, Check, Feather, Look, Lock, ABCDEFGCB (Airstart, Bailout, Condition lever/T-handle, Deliver, ELP, Flaps, Gear, Canopy, Battery). Probably the only thing I can remember from T-34 EPs.

Here is an additional refund for most of you reading this, if you do not already know about it: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=161506,00.html It deals with federal excise tax refund on telephones. It is not much, unless you have about 41 months of phone bills saved. Either...

As a FL resident, what do you do put in that block? I've always used VITA on base, therefore, I guess they have always filled that in for me. How do you claim that? It is always good to learn about things that will reduce what I owe. Thanks ahead of time MB!

From the BAH website: Q28: My wife and I are both service members and we have two children. Why is it that only one of us can collect full rate BAH and the other single BAH? Why couldn't we each claim one child and collect full with-dependent BAH? The rules governing allocation of...

If you really thought the intention of my post was to answer your actual question, you were wrong. So much for being subtle. I'll send you a PM for the rest. To avoid this thread being a complete waste to anybody reading this: check out the forum, "Paths to a Commission". One thread has a...

I have two possible 'theories': 1) Probably means they are reading through your posts on AW to determine your suitability as a Naval Officer. You know, would the amount of useless posts be indicative of how well he performs as a NFO. 2) Maybe they get more applications than the board has...

Chief, Hopefully, with the links Webmaster provided, your son will be able to talk to an officer recruiter. You also mentioned his interest in law school. There is a program out there for law students. Check out the JAG Corps site at http://www.jag.navy.mil/Careers/CareersSP.htm There...

Bookmark this site! You will find a link for W-2 on there; that should be what you are looking for. The pay comes from Norfolk(HHG), not Cleveland (DFAS). Therefore, it will not be in myPay... just my $0.02. *EDIT* Another helpful website for moving. You can even calculate how much you...

That statement reminded me of a quote: If drinking is interfering with your work, you have a drinking problem. If work is interfering with your drinking, you are an alcoholic. :D

http://www.tailhook.org/AVSLANG.htm That website defines hinge.

You do not move the PCL or EPL during the ECL test, and the fuel flow needle does not move (at least I have never noticed). Do not know the answer, but just giving you some extra things that may help you.

http://adds.aviationweather.noaa.gov/metars/ Put KNTD in the space, make sure METAR and TAF are checked, and choose the translated option. Hope than enhances your viewing pleasure.

Must be exciting to strap in.

Would you say your freedom of movement is more restricted than it was in the -34?

Leave must be taken beyond the approved radius for API. If it is within the radius, there should be a travel log you must sign. It was like that last year, so it may have changed.

My answer would be yes, but oh well. There is a Naval Academy forum, so that rules that one out. He has FC3 next to his name, so that rules out LDO/CWO. MECP would be a viable option, but the enlisted on here seem to apply/ask questions for STA-21.

The wait may seem more painful than waiting on advancement results (ah, the memories), but hopefully it will be worth the wait. Good luck to all of you waiting for the results.

During this timeframe of selections boards, it would be safe to say it is for STA-21. Sounds specific, especially after most programs were consolidated into STA-21.

His post was specific, being the forum it was posted in. FYI Fly, STA-21 FY06 results.

For the most part, it is about money. Why should a training command spend unnecessary expenses from its budget on calling a bunch of studs? As long as you have a local number, residential or cell, it does not matter. Heard this numerous times in A-Pool muster and Primary AOM's.

API may or may not be a TAD move depending on your husband's situation. If it is a TAD move, you can have your husband get an order modification to API/NAS WF by contacting the detailer. Note: must already have orders to get it modified. Having that modification in your orders will allow for...

the duke, You can ask all your questions on the GI Bill website. http://www.gibill.va.gov/

This comes from the September 2004 Combat Aircraft magazine: MH-60S transition schedule 2001- HC-3 HSC-3 2002- HC-5/6/8 HSC-25/26/28 2003- HC-11 HSC 21 2006- HC-2 HSC-2 2007- HSC-22/23(new squadrons) and HS-4 HSC-4 2008- HS-7/8 HSC-7/8 2009- HS-2/5...

There is a photo lab near the bank on base. It is possible they might offer professional portraits. If not, maybe the NEX on base offers the service? If neither of those options work, break out the handy yellow pages.

There are NROTC scholarship grads who have the GI Bill. They were, however, college program prior to receiving the scholarship. This comes from the GI Bill website: Category 1 Requirements . . . Weren’t commissioned as a Service Academy Graduate or an ROTC Scholarship Graduate unless you...

Not gouge it up by writing on it, but by adding stickies for additional stuff that you could have done in the blue brains.

Yes it did change. Think the order came from the previous TW-5 Commodore. Not allowed to 'gouge' up the PCL either.

Lt. Napoleon Video Here is a link. Very funny! http://www.5urrealism.com/videos/Aviation/

Less than 2 hours north of ERAU, is JU. http://www.ju.edu/academics/undergrad_aeronautics.asp Both schools are on the east coast. If you want something farther north along the east coast, visit the school's websites that are and see if they offer aviation...

No need to do that. Results
