Ok, the book thread gave me a lot of good information, appreciate it!!

Switching gears here... There have been quite a few links to good aviation website, gouge on training, journals, or places to buy a good leather jacket in Iceland!

Seriously, any links that you have, or you posted at one time or another, please repost it here, so I can capture it, and make a page for all of them.

Categories: (NOT all inclusive)
TBS
OCS
Flight Training (API, Primary, etc)
Journals
Gouge/resources
Official Sites
etc... basically ANYTHING that helped you when you were applying or while in training.

NOT looking for the link to the "cool" funny video, or Hal Pilot's much visited Top 10 Victoria's Secret Spring Lineup... :D

Anyways, if you have the time, please post:

1. Category
2. LINK
3. Any comments about the link (website in question)

POSTING RULES: I do not want this to become a discussion thread (if I offended you above, flame me on PM), I just want to consolidate the forum member's recommendations. I will delete any post that isn't offering a recommendation.

Thanks,

John

This is more for Fleet guys. I guess it's "Gouge". If you've ever lost a hard copy of one of your FITREPs, you know what a pain it can be to find it. Go to:

https://www.bol.navy.mil

Log in, and othe next page there's an option to "Request Your Record on CD".

Follow the instructions, and in about 2 weeks you'll get your disc. This thing is awesome. All your FITREPS, college transcripts, emergency contact data, mine even had my DLAB scores and final exam report from DLI.
