oh yea, great pic, my uncle is a dc-9 driver for northwest and he says they get hit all the time. one time they got hit, and it melted the rivets on the top of the fuselage. i bet that makes for a good ride

to the original question "what is this country coming too?", all i can say is that i share your frustration on a daily basis. not a day goes by where i see the lead topic in the news is who donald trump fired, who sang well on american idol, why matt leinert should be angry because he is making...

We had 2 go UA in my platoon: our platoon commander was a washed up helicopter pilot and he took it out on the candidates. anyway one guy decided he was going to dor and the weekend before he could dor he got on a bus back to his home city. he called at 6 am the next morning and told the...

I am in this same boat. I recieved a call a couple of days ago saying that they asked for me to come in and resubmit my applicaiton. SNA and SNFO spots have opened up, or were not filled and they need to fill them. My recruiter said it was very very positive and that chances on being selected...

http://www.hugi.is/hahradi/bigboxes.php?box_id=51208&f_id=1277 For an aviation enthusiast, this is pretty neat

2.7, 265, i did 13 pullups 100 situps and a 17:40 run, and my ASTB was 4/6/6. Not bad, but not the best

Just got word a few days ago, I've been selected SNA. I have looked at most the stats posted on the website and I can assure the people waiting to hear, that the selection board looks at the complete individual. I did not have the best GPA or test scores, or even PFT, but other things my OSO...

"it shouldn't mean jack if you've had any prior flight time." That was taken from a couple of responses up. Look, i think you took the TOP GUN remark the wrong way. I wasn't saying it gives aircraft knowledge! Read it again. Also I realize that the ASTB, PFT, GPA, LOR all matter a ton. The...

I just have a quick question. If flight time doesn't matter than WHY DO THEY ASK YOU? I have 125 hours and my OSO seemed to think that it would improve my chances for selection because I have shown an interest in aviation for a while, not just that I saw TOP GUN last month and decided I wanted...

To avoid injuries...Well most of them. STRETCH Properly and STRETCH all the time. Stretch when you wake up, and before you go to bed, also before and after you work out. Also don't just jump into a run, do a warmup run of a mile or so. Hope this helps.

If you want to get your run time down, you need to work your cardiovascular limits. Don't only run, run stairs sometimes, swim some, do trail runs with hill climbs, go cycling. all these things will help your run time. i'm a D1 college swimmer and i didn't run 2 months before i took my PFT and i...

I didn't know there were 2 different ones, but i'm on the one for december 9th. again, congratulations on getting a contract, hope to see y'all in june.

oh...just thinking, are you a west coast applicant, maybe that why your board already met

wow that was fast bluetarantula, i didn't think the board met until this week. congrats. do you care to show your stats so that i know what my chances are? again congrats

A problem I had was that I didn't think that I had good professor references. Broadsworld, go introduce yourself to your profs, a lot of times, at least in my case, they remember me and can tell by my grade and how hard the class was what kind of charachter i have. Also, just by going up to talk...

Well this is a good sign, only 4 of us on this forum on the nov/dec board. anyone know for sure when we should hear yea, or nay. my oso said by at least the 2nd week in december. anyone hear different. goodluck to y'all (hey i had to use it, i'm from kentucky)

I'm contracted and my application goes before the board at the end of the month. If all goes well, I'll be at combined in June. I applied for air, what about you guys?

Not to be a skeptic, ok i'm a little skeptical, but I went in today to do my PFT, ugg 265, i fell off the pullup bar after 13 pullups because it was wet, but i maxed out on situps and the run, and my OSO was trying to get me to sign my air contract today, after i made it clear to him i was not...

does the aviation guarantee just offer you a spot in flight school, or does it also offer, upon proficient completion, a spot in a squadron actually flying the aircraft you trained for. My dad told me he had heard some people went all the way through flight school, and then they were given a...

How many people have you heard of that get perfect on their PFT? Does this happen often? If everything else on their application is decent will a perfect score help a lot? Just curious. Thanks.

What is the record? Just something to aim for

Would a varsity coach qualify under the professor section though??

How much do the teacher recommendations play into the selection process. I go to a large University where the teachers really don't get to know the students and really don't care to know the students. All they care about is their research. I have some really good recommendations from other...

Thanks for all your help

Gee. I thought this was a forum to help people like me. The OSO did say I had a better chance, but he DOESN'T know first hand. I'm not questioning the abilities of my OSO, just asking if anyone else know anymore about this.

I talked to my OSO and he recommended that I apply for PLC instead of OCC. I want aviation and he says its quite easier to be accepted in PLC. Anybody with any knowlege or experience on this issue? Thanks for the responses.
