I got pulled off sea duty to do a 545 IA with the Army... If you are getting pushed into an IA billet... try, try, try to stay away from working with the Army or avoid anything that sends you up Ft Bragg, NC

Supply guys can get a warfare pin... 3 of them actually... 1)SWSCO you can earn on a surface ship... 2) SEBEE... you get when you work with the SEABEEs... 3) Aviation Supply Wings... when you are a Supply guy with a Squadron. All 3 have different quals... but all 3 are warfare devices...

I'm a FO in SA... send me an email and we can get together... I am doing a cross country to Vegas this weekend... so give sometime to repsond. UNFpikapp@aol.com LTJG Payne

I'm in VT-10... just about to graduate. Both squadrons work off the same sylabus... I'm not too sure about the differnce in grading but VT-10 has a better record for ADV graduation. And VT-10 students seem to fly quicker and moer often once you hit flight side.

Try looking on pensacola.com if you haven't already. Good luck. There's usually something going on in town somewhere... you might just have to start trying new things i.e. the rodeo, ice hockey, art auctions, crapolo like that. LTJG Payne

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE LATEST AVG OF P3 AND E2 SLOTS PER CLASS? LTJG PAYNE

Thanks for the info... LTJG PAYNE

Where are all the P3 sqadrons located? If I select P3s out of Primary and go to TX from there... where would I go after getting winged? LTJG Payne

Neither API, Primary academics nor CPT's count near as much as your grades for flying. At leasts thats what the instructors at Primary are telling me. LTJG Payne

I have really enjoyed reading most of these posts... it's a nice break from studying! While I spent that better part of 5 years studying Metaphysics, Epistemology, Pure Reason, and really old dialogues from dead guys I won't bore you with that stuff... but I would like to add one quote for...

If anyone is interested in Supply, Supply school, 1st tours, or life in general... feel free to drop me an email. I use to be a Supply weenie... UNFPIKAPP@AOL.COM LTJG Payne

As far as BDCP I think that your recruiter can fight for a technical-degree as long as you take a some calculas & physics... at least thats what the deal was when I was stashed at Jax NRD. LTJG Payne

STA21Pilot- Can you post a link to the message on the board when it comes out? I want to see if the two guys on my boat that I helped made the cut... Thanks... LTJG Payne

Does anyone know where I can download the T-34C patch for the microsoft flt simulator? I just bought FLT SIM 2004 and I want to see if the patch will help me at all.. Thanks LTJG Payne

When is the message coming out? LTJG Payne

Does anyone know the NSS you need or the chances of selecting the Space Shuttle and getting into NASA from Priamry?? LTJG PAYNE

You know, I'm sorry but I really can't remeber... Have you tried calling the NSCS Quarter Deck (706) 354-1500)? There is usually just a stash or duty ENS answering the phones... he/she can usually answer most questions. I know when I had that duty people where calling all the time... plus...

Does anyone out there have, or know where to find any good Mnemonics to help me memorize the EP's for the T-34? LTJG Payne

I just got off my 1st sea deployment before I transfered into aviation. I had a computer in my office, but the helo-det guys on my boat never had a problem getting on a PC. They either used the Det PC in their office or grabbed a friends, or used the ship's PCs in the library. LTJG Payne

I just saw a graduation last Friday. Most of the older men where wearing a suit and tie, the younger men where where casual clothes and ladies where all wearing church-like clothes. You should really take the weather into consideration... it's almost October here and the highs are still in the...

When I was leaving NSCS they had just started having class PT in the mornings on Monday and Wednesday... There are 2 classes that are there at the same time... you'll be called something like Echo and Foxtrot. Each class has about 30 students. It's not really cut throat at all... The...

You do have a lot of time to study, but there is a crap load of info on every test and it is a real test of attention to detail. It's the standard Navy fire-hose effect. You are in class from like 0700-1500... you usually get about an 1 1/2 for lunch and PT. The IT class covers everything...

You take like 2 classes at once... maybe 3 at one point. You will take Disbursing the entire time, but you will also have Food Service, Postal, Supply Management, some IT classes and a few other things. It's been 2 years, so it's hard to remember. All tests are open pub, but don't think that...

NAVSUP- Congrats Chop! Email with anymore questions that you have about the Supply Corps... LTJG Payne

Your best bet would be to call the closest PSD and ask them to go over the PCS allowances for an 01... LTJG Payne

I had a 7 weeks wait for API. But now some SNFO's are going to IFS and that will extend your wait for API. The wait for Primary kind of depends on what you are slated to fly either T-34 or T-6? Right now it is about 6 weeks for T-6 and 8 weeks for T-34. The Primary wait times are differnt...

I am going to be starting Primary shortly and was wondering what the selection pool was looking like for FO's... Is it hard to get jets? Where are the majority of FO's going? Thanks, LTJG Payne

I am starting week 5 of API this week! Can anyone answer the question about NFO's and jets? I haven't really heard any numbers on where the majority of FO's are going. Thanks... LTJG Payne

You do not need to be enlisted to go Officer... if you have a degree and the recruiter told that then he/she lied. If your grades sucked or you where a sub-par Officer applicant than YES going enlisted will help. But if you where lied to and do not want to go enlisted then talk to the NRD CO...

I can only speak of API... but the only real computational part of API was in NAV... and that was more ratio type estimations. LTJG Payne

I knowa couple, he's an NFO and she's a pilot. He's stationed at Whitby IS, and she's in Japan. I think that it's easier for couples in other communities to get co-located, but from what I've seen beeing married as aviators in the Navy is tough. LTJG Payne

You should probably just look up the closest Officer recruiter in your area.. LTJG Payne

IFS isn't being offered to every SNFO... its still a new program and they are only doing a small screening. A few SNFO's in each new class showing up for A-pool get picked. LTJG Payne

As long as you are married you will always get BAH... I use to be a DisbO and that's what we did about a year ago, unless something has changed. The BOQ, like most things in the NAvy has evolved... but kept the same damn acroynm... it is called the BOQ (bachelor officer quarters) but you can...

I think only the international guys have their wives staying at the BOQ...

Something may have changed, but I doubt it... when I went through Supply school 2 years ago two of my good friends there where color blind... they both wanted to be pilots but couldn't. Actually, NFO's can be color blind if I am not mistaken... you only need to see color if you are a SWO or...

Becareful with NavyGouge.com a lot of the tests have WRONG answeres circled. ENS Payne

If you want to get a head start you can try looking at Bryanweatherup.com it has pretty good gouge and will give you a head start. Don't bother with the Weather stuff... it is out dated for the modt part. 4 weeks isn't that long, and if you can get a head start now... I would. ENS Payne

They should have been able to tell you your unofficial score right then... the offical score has to come from NOMI. I use to score those tests for applicants while they waited... strange that they didn't do it for you. ENS Payne

I'm sure they'll get the message I just wanted to know when to start looking so that I could see if they made it for my self... I was like the un-offical career counselor for my boat... the real NCC sucked. Thanks for the info...

Dos anyone know when the results for the SAT-21 board are going to come out? I had a few people in my old Div apply. Thanks

I graduate from OCS in 2001, and back then and I would imagine still today, you don't get anything special for graduating high in the class. Your next assignments are given by your Communities detailer... and I don't think that thye have much contanct with the school at except to make sure...

I'm pretty much fresh off the boat from Japan, SNFO sitting in A-pool... can anyone get me a number to an angent in perdido key, or recomend a few places to check out?

When do the STA-21 selection results come out? I had a couple of guys on my old boat apply for the program and I want to see if they got picked up. There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea. - Joseph Conrad

I do know that you are not authorized to wear all your ribbons/medals from other services. If you call OCS someone should be able to tell which ones are authorized and which ones are not. My friend at OCS was a prior AF guy. HE brought all his stuff and was only authorized to wear a few of...

I am on a Command Ship and there are a lot of NFO's here. I talked with all of them at length about their jobs... some are jets others are props. Most, love their jobs. It's a good life. If you want to be a pilot, be a pilot. If you are physically not qualified for pilot but want to be in...

I am on a Command Ship and see a lot of Army and Air Force weenies rnning around here. I asked a couple of 03 Army and AF guys and they both said that the Army/AF both recently went to putting on 02 after 1 1/2 and 03 after another 1 1/2. I asked my DEPT head about it and he doesn't think the...
