First female Submariners qualified. http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2012-12-05/story/one-first-female-submarine-officers-pinned-kings-bay

It looks like it's just the image of the guy getting sprayed in the blog/article "The Basics of VBSS". The URL is http://maltesecombat.com/catalog/images/pepper%20use.jpg and Google is saying that domain has malware so it's probably not an issue for AW just wanted to report it since it keeps...

e-QIP had my info saved from my last renewal. So when I put it in this time prior to winging, all my old info for those past years was already entered. I just had to update some phone numbers.

Not entirely dead...I saw a few at the last Submarine b-day ball I went to just a few years back.

This question has been discussed many times before and the consensus seems that the cost of flight training far outweighs anything that might be gained if you are doing it solely for you application. Two of the three times I applied and was a nonselect I had my PPL. I think taking any classes...

Pretty well considering. The BAH is independent upon the per diem, but yes according to the JFTR they can really go either way for the BAH while TDY either LPDS or new PDS. But they WILL switch to Pensacola to save the tax payer some money.

Not really true. They WILL pay for 600lbs of HHG which is more than nothing and you should be able to break your lease or just get month to month which may then qualify you for per diem.

Top of page 8-13 states the package in its entirety shall not be returned to the applicant.

Navy Times says he's a "Mustang". http://www.navytimes.com/news/2010/06/navy_kiestler_shipyard_cofired_063010w/

If there are errors on your interview sheets it is usually noted online when you logon and check the status. I had to resubmit interview sheets due to minor problems such as missing Officer designator. If there is a problem it's pretty easy to contact the Officer and have them make the...

Flight attendant gets right seat time. http://travel.usatoday.com/flights/post/2010/06/american-airlines-flight-attendant-helps-land-boeing-767-at-chicago-ohare-/96901/1 I thought that only happened in the movies.

Unless its changed there is no limit other than maximum number of times you are allowed to take the exam. I took the exam sometime in 2004 and was selected for STA-21 FY-08. That was back when it was on paper though so not sure if the rules changed.

Submarine chops have their own set of dolphins which they earn after qualifying everything they can without standing a nuclear watch.

Have you tried using the calculator? https://pptas.ahf.nmci.navy.mil/pptacalc/index.jsp

That's what escape trunks and steinke hoods are for right.....you guys have no idea what I'm talking about nevermind. Oh just read the last page and noticed the date as well....I guess Scoober knows. I never felt so safe as when I inventoried a locker full of rotten mildewed hoods.

This is very untrue. If the light bulbs on subs lasted forever they would have no need for a whole division of EMs to continuously change them. I have seen them change an entire engine room worth of light bulbs out just to "make it brighter" prior to a shipboard inspection.

I wore mine the day I was pinned. I am pretty certain I will never wear one again.

I can't believe they are getting underway in digi's.

I like how you are marketing the place using a photo of bombing. Makes me wonder. Just sayin.

If you receive orders for BOOST your family can move to Newport with you, that is if they are still doing BOOST. Otherwise if you are just there for NSI then your orders are written so that NSI is an intermediate duty stop on the way to your University. Since the time is only 8 weeks you are...

I wouldn't rule out STA-21 until you have your degree. I was one online class away from graduating when I was accepted into STA-21. Its a great program and you may want to try your luck with that before you apply for graduation. I would bet that with all the classes you've taken your...

They don't go away. In fact now you can even use them while in the program. This was just recently discussed here, I'd give you the link but I'm on my iPhone and typing is already fun enough.

Aren't they allowed to stay on the ship for the whole first trimester or something? They have exposure limits for pregnant women and even if they don't want women working in the plant they can stand watch forward or if they are enlisted they could crank in the galley. If they need to get off...

I just wanted to put my two cents in and call BS on anyone who thinks its "not possible". I've been to sea on two different subs with women on board. First was an older boomer class and it was a week with three females. Second was on SSGN sea trials and there was a handful of them maybe five...

Ahhh yes my reading skills failed me after the first post. Still though, looks uphill to me considering. But you never know unless you try.

I'm no expert, but just googling RE-4 basically says its not necessarily medically related.

No she doesn't.

I didn't see anything about "switching/[converting]" on the website. Do you have to apply or am I missing it?

So how do you convert? I'm assuming I would need to since I came in under the MGIB ('98). I used about six months of benefits doing flight training in a 141 program. But now I would like to transfer enough benefits to my wife so she can obtain a bachelors degree. This brings up another...

I like how he took the time to underline and bold but I guess the SHIFT key was broken.

Per diem paid for lodging is only reimbursed for what was incurred, while the meals and incidentals portion of the daily rate is paid full whether you spend it or not. When they calculate your "lodging" they include your rent and other utilities: electricity, gas, sewer, water, phone, cable...

Another reason: Age limits. Not a lot you can do to get any younger once selected and more than a few of us had to find schools willing to work with us to get a degree in under 36 months. So while I agree that it would be stupid to go to a school that was out of your budget when you can get a...

Depends on the state. I would've just had enough to cover what I was short on tuition if I had used it. Also rainy day or not you might have some left if you had taken a kicker when you enlisted to help offset a masters that might not get funded via TA or other methods. I think this and also...

Oh I think I figured it out myself....Coast Guard, right?

Are females allowed to wear shoulder boards on Full dress white? I just saw a photo of a change of command where the new CO (a female wearing white jacket large medals) had O-6 rank on the shoulders vice the sleeves. Am I missing something huge?

I don't know about these new agreements but I remember when I was on the USS Kamehameha which was a SSBN->SSN we were still looked at as nuclear capable even though we couldn't shoot ANY nuke or conventional weapons out of the old tubes. We had to comply with the flyover and inspection requests...

She seems to be just smart enough to keep wasting her time trying to suck you dry. That would get annoying after awhile....I can't even imagine.

Made me laugh.

I just want to give another plug for Ted and Beth...they are awesome and I couldn't have stumbled onto anything better. Do not rent from anyone else you'll really be missing out on seriously nice properties, great fast friendly service and they will go out of their way to help you out with what...

That was my first question too...otherwise what the hell are the rounds for? Scaring them?

Is it possible for non-tailhookers to work their way in to CVN CO positions and CAG? Also while you are working as CAG are you allowed/qualified to fly all the aircraft in your air wing?

So is Air Boss something you do before or after either of those tracks?

Stupid Question Are major billets on the CVN (CO, CAG, Air Boss) different career paths altogether or must one progressively serve in each working up?

If the fines are set at half the cost isn't it still cheaper to NOT buy insurance from the point of view of the uninsured? Also how are they going to collect all these fines?

I Applied FY05 Pilot only FY06 CORE only ->Shore duty lots of time to do college FY08 Pilot, CORE alt -> Selected!!! Graduated/Commissioned after three semesters. Never give up, I commissioned a month and a half before my 29th birthday.

If I understand you correctly the answer is no. They don't publish the specific numbers of applicants for each target community. Just the total applicants. Some years the numbers given were fairly general too and they didn't clearly state how many applications even made it to the board...

Everyone I've known that had PRK done in school was either CORE or their eyes were borderline and had passed the initial physical but were worried about them getting worse so they had surgery before commissioning to ensure they would pass their next physical.

Yes we do. http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138590
