A4s, thanks for the info. I guess I'll need to get my hands on one somewhere to see if I like it.

Anyone have experience with the Trijicon reflex sight? I was thinking of putting one on my next AR.

Agree with PDK. Also might want to check out McCollum (RYY) less busy than PDK. Nice airport, new restaurant on the field called Elevation Chophouse has great food and a nice bar. Good luck.

When I was there the guy working behind the counter said he'd order me anything I wanted.

Had a 16 year old student on his second solo steal the plane. I told him to meet me at the airport at 0900 and he could go fly the pattern a few times. I specifically told him I had to be at the airport before he could go up. He and his dad got to the airport at about 0830 and his dad told him...

Good to go.

Why did they care?

Two cups of beet juice is supposed to drastically reduce BP if taken about an hour before the doc takes your BP.

Get a degree in something you enjoy doing. I got a degree in Business Admin. with a concentration in Aviation Management (or an "Aviation Management" degree). I am now a 2nd LT in the USMC and will be going to flight school once I finish TBS and I couldn't be happier. But........I had a hell...

I was in the ANG while I was in college and was deployed during my junior year. We were supposed to be deployed for 6 months but it was shortened to 3 months. After I got back I was still on orders for another 2 months. It wasn't a big deal and I went right back to school. But don't think...

Just wait till you send a student on his first solo......I think I was more nervous than he was.

He will have a brief on this issue about two weeks before he graduates from OCS. He will have the choice of checking in to TBS right away or go home and work with his OSO, its called PTAD. I did PTAD. Tell him to concentrate on graduating from OCS everything will work out. He does not need...

Go to a community college if you have to and get good grades your first year. Then transfer to a university and continue to do well and contact an Officer Selection Officer (OSO). From here you can do PLC or OCC. I did OCC (10 week program after you graduate). My .02

You should look into Sky Terrace townhomes located on Onville Rd, only about a mile from the back gate. Rent for a 2 bedroom is about 1200 a month but its worth it to be that close to the gate while at TBS. My wife and I have been here since Dec. and its great. PM me if you have any questions.

I just graduated from OCS 196 as well and I say don't take your commission....less competition for me.

Selected OCC 196 (air)

East Coast

Just got pre-selected this morning for OCC 196... I'm pumped.

I'd say you need to talk to an OSO (Officer Selection Officer). Go on the net and see where they're located, then give them a call to set up an appointment.

No concealed carry permit, but I have a few. Bought most of mine while in college. -Taurus 627 Tracker .357 MAG (6.5" barrel) -Springfield 1911A1 Mil-Spec (OD Green) -Yugo SKS w/ Tapco T6 stock and 9x Compact Mil dot scope -Remington 700 (.270) -Remington 870 Express Magnum 12ga -Remington...

I concur. I've had an 870 Express Magnum for over 12yrs and never had a problem with it. Even dropped it in the water duck hunting one time and it still functioned flawlessly.

Gatordev, yeah I'm definitely going to get some time in the a/c before going to pick it up, and yes, I believe they do still have a 180hp in them. Thanks again for the info.

Appreciate the info, gatordev, since I'll probably be the one picking up the airplane.

Since we're on the subject of buying airplanes, my future father-in-law is about to buy a 2003 Grumman Tiger AG-5B. I've never flown one and was wondering if anyone had any experience in this a/c.

This is the second or third time I've put this up on the forum, but here it is again so you don't have to go searching for it. I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but this test has actual ASTB questions on it. I used this, the ARCO book, and physics notes from college to study for...

Try out this practice test http://www.columbia.edu/~mmx1/astb/ASTBgouge.pdf. Some of the questions are exactly the same as the ones on the test. I studied this and the arco book and qualified for pilot. Good luck.

Phantom89, I was in the Air National Guard during college (I worked on F-16s), got deployed to SW Asia during my Junior year, was only gone one semester and it didn't hurt me (wouldn't have hurt me to be gone a year either). College will still be there when you get back. I had nothing but...

Conaway, before I took the ASTB I studied this practice test http://www.columbia.edu/~mmx1/astb/ASTBgouge.pdf, as well as the ARCO book. I also used my old college math and physics notes to study as well, and I qualified for pilot. A few of the questions from the link were actually identical...

bigboy3, I'm not a pilot with the Guard, but was enlisted in the guard for 6yrs and know how the process works, i've got three friends about to go to AMS. I was going to try to fly guard but decided to go the Marine Corps route instead. PM me with any specific questions.
