    A Specific FAA Military Competency Question

    AB76, The CB gouge is good to go. After finishing Multi's in CC I took the exam before coming back to P'cola for Helos. Just use the database as a "guided discussion" to direct your studies. I dug in the FAR/AIM a little bit and passed. I have a buddy who studied the gouge only and passed as...

    Tiltrotor contract length

    I'm in Int. Tilt. right now...I don't even know how long the commitment is. I don't really care either. I mean 2 years in the grand scheme of things isn't a whole lot, unless you hate life.

    OCS stamp font

    bring a can of black spraypaint to paint your t-shirts...it doesn't wash off. i've got green shirts i wear under my flightsuit that have a giant G on them. Still looks great if I do say so myself. rub-a-dubs are good too. shoe polish is a waste of time

    Army WOFT... Should I do it?

    just my 2 cents, but if you think you'd want to transfer back to the Marines...as a commissioned officer, not a WO, you'd still have to go through TBS. don't know if that is relevant to you or not.

    Thoughts on the T-34

    we have an IP in VT-6, won't name names, but he is tall as hell. I mean like probably 6'6". I had worried about fitting in the front cockpit, but after seeing him I knew I'd be ok. You'll fit fine, the rudder pedals adjust a pretty good bit. I'm about 6'3" and I fit fine, except my ass kills me.

    MATSG-21 Check-In

    although yes, I am from the south and actually attended The University of Mississippi- the home of the Rebel (and bad football)- I do not fly the stars and bars. That's actually a scan from a pamphlet my fiance got me from the D-Day Museum down in New Orleans. I believe that the aircraft in...

    Orthokeratology?

    the brains at NOMI have seen everything. they checked out my eyes and were convinced i'd had some sort of corrective surgery. the onslaught of eye exams that continued were ridiculous. in the end, they concluded that they were wrong. but, had i actually had corrective eye surgery and lied about...

    Mega Marine Boot Insole/Boots Thread

    according to Quantico Boot, i dropped in bc i was in the area and curious, the Bates Shoe company manufactured about 3,000 pairs of boots before someone noticed the branded Eagle, Globe, and Anchor was facing the wrong direction, hence the supply problem. hope this helps.

    Motorcycle Security at TBS

    ok, so here's the rub. I have a '04 Harley Davidson Softail Deuce that i blew 16k on. should i have brought it, probably. is there adequate parking? yes. just be sure to tie that mofo down, bc about a month ago, a badass storm laid it's hand upon Camp Barrett and blew over a lot of bikes. also...

    The heat and humidity at OCS

    [threadjack] Prefontaine, now that was a guy who ran through the fatigue and the pain... - Raptor10 I may be mistaken, but I also think GySgt Hartman (R. Lee Ermy) made his shoes in a waffle iron. Gave him a little extra pep in his step, not to mention they tasted delicious!!!

    RFA and Flight Physical Screw up

    i foresaw that happening to me, with the loan and all, so i only blew $16,000 of it on a Harley and put the rest into a CD that matured by the first pay date. Luckily I got sent to M Co. early.

    barefoot running

    well that's just what an orthopedic surgeon told me after i injured my ankle and asked about running in sand for recovery. i wouldnt run barefoot simply because i wouldnt want to step on that broken Miller Light bottle that John Q. Fratboy tossed on the beach during his spring break '99...

    OCS prep

    as much as you may need it, just remember that your body is not invincible. your body is going to be saying, "WTF" for 6-10 weeks, so dont get stupid in the candidate medicine cabinet. some of that stuff does have side effects, like increased heart rates, blood thinning, stomach upset, etc. IE...

    barefoot running

    just a little FYI......running in soft sand barefoot is one of the worst things you can do for your feet--joint wise. your foot works like a set of tumblers (think combination lock) that fall into a certain position, each time your foot impacts--heel to toe off, when you run. change any of the...

    OCS prep

    eventually, your SI's are going to realize that your body is FUBAR. They know this, it isn't their first time around the block. My platoon had the same mentality, our SI's told us repeatedly, "I don't know how, or particularly care how, you're going to get all this sh*t done 1st [PLT], but you...

    RFA and Flight Physical Screw up

    What do you get when you graduate PLC?

    ok so in 2005, back in the day, we didn't get a "warriors breakfast" after our 12mile night hump/SULE II, we ran the E-Course the next day. And the only thing I got when I graduated was being yelled at because we weren't turning in our weapons fast enough...i love it. All we did was smile at our...

    31 things learned as a fighter pilot

    anyone know where this came from, "Don't ask a man if he's a fighter pilot! If he is...he'll let you know!" recently, my mother told me that I skipped church as a young child to watch this movie. suddenly my life as a SNA made sense, haha.

    All things MV-22 Osprey

    that video is badass...although, they definitely didnt do any barrel rolls coming into LZ-7 here the other day. i have to admit, they were very impressive during their low-level fly bys, and when they land...it's an awesome site to see. good sh*t!!!

    TBS Parking Security

    to be truthful this thread has gotten way out of whack. but, my initial question was how secure would it be in the back of my truck at TBS. feel free to sh*tcan this thread...ive got plenty of good feedback.

    TBS Parking Security

    well, for starters I've never seen too many boats or trailers pulled with a Scion or Yaris. also, it's what I've got and im driving it until the wheels fall off. besides, those vehicles are for EMO's or whatever the hell they call themselves.

    TBS Parking Security

    ok, I think you're missing the point here. I have to drive approximately 1000 miles to get up to Quantico...in a regular cab truck. There's not enough room, even for the small amount of gear that I'm bringing, in the cab...unless I want to throw it in the truckbed. But then - rainstorms, theft...
