Wrong thread, buddy ?Hey been doing some research and can’t seem to find a straight answer. Does a WSO in the super hornet or EWO in a growler have final release controls for any weapons systems? If so which weapons systems? I know they laze targets for air to ground, but do they have final release? Thanks.
Especially in this day and age, where the size of your button clearly contributes to your work/life balance.I can see how this totally relevant to the thread. One must know whether one is responsible for weapons release if one is to know how to manage work/life balance.

Chase Sapphire Reserve, using points I paid for round trip airfare for a family of five to Japan with it.Random question and wasn’t sure where to ask this.
Is it worth it to get a travel perks credit card? I’m pretty solid with financial management and I wanted to get a credit card that would allow me to gain points for travel and lodging.
I’m sure I want be traveling a ton on my dime during my time in ocs and flight school but I want to be able to fly my family and loved ones down to me once in a while if possible.
Is this an idea that would be reasonable or just not worth it? I know many people open up accounts with Navy Federal Credit Union and USAA but not sure what those places offer.
that sounds outstanding. Will definitely look into it now.Chase Sapphire Reserve, using points I paid for round trip airfare for a family of five to Japan with it.
Airport lounge benefits, travel perks, point redemptions, etc. I could go on and on but overall very worth it.
Look into the Amex Platinum as well. I have both. They offer different (but great) rewards and you can use them however you want, and the giant annual fees are waivedthat sounds outstanding. Will definitely look into it now.
Hit it and quit it. Save yourself the headaches ?Hey all. So I'm in primary at the moment, and I anticipate being done around November. My question is how did y'all go about dating while in flight school? Did you not go for anything serious given you'd be moving soon, or just go with the flow? I'm caught between a rock and a hard place on how to proceed with someone I'm casually seeing. Any and all advice is appreciated

I met my now-wife early in flight school. We dated, got engaged, and got married, all within about a year and a half. We knew it was right, so we committed. I picked my advanced duty station preference based on our engagement, and was fortunate enough to get it. That doesn't always happen. I saw lots of guys struggle with long-distance relationships and/or girlfriends and even wives who either a.) wouldn't move, or b.) moved but weren't willing to integrate into life in a new location. All those relationships failed, and a few of them had a negative effect on the guy's progression through the syllabus or squadron tour.
I wouldn't play the long-distance game if you're not serious. It won't last, especially once you hit the FRS and the fleet. The Navy is more than demanding enough. If she's coming with you (and she has to come with you), she has to be committed to the relationship and the move.
[tl;dr] I recommend going with the flow. Flight school only happens once, and you're making friends and professional connections you'll have for your entire career.
Left the BMWs of South Texas for Austin (highly recommended). Met my now wife right after I winged. Long distance for a year. Lived together for another year and half, then she went to med school. Did ~5 years of long distance while she was in med school and I did my deployment and shore tour. Got out at MSR to accommodate her career. Not a single regret. Agree that your plus one needs to be onboard with the Navy life and go into it eyes wide open. That definitely doesn't totally giving up on professional ambitions to hawk MLMs, but it's definitely a hard road to hoe.Hey all.
