Follow on question if anyone can please confirms with regards to the AR. Per the SEPS manual, Reserve commissioned officers on active duty who have completed more than 20 years of active service, of which at least 10 years was served as a commissioned officer, may request retirement under the...

So are you saying the monkey skills are what the instructors and students are talking about? And to answer your question, no I have never hovered in a box, if I had I probably wouldn't have posted the question.

I'm starting up HT's and myself and some others who are also starting are wondering why Instructors make the HT's sound so much harder then Primary training and all the students I've talked to say it is much easier. Other then the obvious of we know how to study and prepare unlike before we...

Ko Pry, The decsion weather to go PLC or ROTC has positives and negatives for both. First thing to think about is your financial situation, If your struggling to pay for school and are not getting enough finacial aid from your school, then you might want to look into ROTC since they pay for...

Whats up Lalick, hope everything is going well for you over there man. Yea I know the spots your talking about so I will have to give them a try. Yes theres a portable pull up bar. Actually there is a basement at the OSO office that none of us ever new about. You should see how much ****...

Thanks for the input gents, they all sound like some good ideas. As far as the school goes there is no problem with the students and there is no anti-military move so it works out well. The schools I'm working are Bowling Green, Toledo and Owens all which are in Ohio. Once again thanks to all.

Just started doing PTAD and my OSO let me loose to work three schools about an hour away from the OSO office. I'm living near the three schools so thats why he gave them to me. Anyhow I need some ideas from anyone, about what the hell I can do other than put up fliers and sit around and try to...

I had the chance to meet and hang out with the pilots of the F-18's when they where here in Cleveland. They found out that I had just gotten commisioned that day and they took me and my buddies out and got us rocked. Those guy's partied like rock stars both on Saturday and Sunday. Anyhow the...

I live in Fairview Park but my OSO was in Ann Arbor, like taxmanA I shiped out with the Kent OSO.

I have a buddy who was told that he can get Lasek but not Lasik to qualify for an air contract. Does anyone know if this is acceptable or should he stick to PRK.

KBayDog, Thanks for the info I don't feel so bad anymore. No I am just joking around though, I'm not that bad I just have really enjoyed my time in College, but your right it will be nice to start making some money and seeing some more places rather than this tiny town of Bowling Green Ohio...

Well I guess I can agree that I am a littel excited, but I don't think the Marine Corp has 12,000 gourgeous girls walking around looking for random hookups or 14 bars in a row where the beer flows freely. To tell you the truth I wish I could get a 401K from college and never have to leave...

I don't know how many of you read the terrible book called Jarhead, which pretty much talks down the Corp. but I thought any of you who have, would love to know that they are making a movie now. http://www.thezreview.co.uk/comingsoon/j/jarhead.htm

You should be receving the money more towards Christmas thats when I have gotten my money the past two years. If you don't get it in the next few weeks I would call your OSO and see whats going on.

Thanks for your input, I think I will try to just lower in the front and see how it rides. Patmack18 what do you do with your buddy with the R1 on the Highway just leave him behind?

Jboomer, thats exactly what I wanted to know, Now I just need to get the money to afford the new chain and sprokets, Also do you think that it would just be easier and cheaper to drop one in the front? And Reapergm I think I will take your advice. Thanks fellas.

By any chance is there anyone that can explain to me how to lower the gears (teeth) on the front and rear. I would like to lower the front by 1 and raise the rear by 3 but I don't exactly how to do it on my 99 Gsxr. Thanks

Had a 95' GSXR 750 with a Yosh, till my brother in law wrecked it, now I have a 99' GSXR 600 with a D&D pipe.

Thanks for the reply.

I was wondring if anyone recived any type of college credit for going to OCS after reciving the Transcript that they sent to us. And if so who should I talk to about getting those credits. Thanks

I had S.I. Barnes for Juniors in Summer of 02 "You Nasty thing" and his other favorite "Thats a three hunderd word essay".

It's been about two years since I did my app. but here is some advice anyways. Put any leadership postions that you have had, such as Captain of sports teams, postions in any organizations such as a fraternity or club. Even if you don't hold a postion metion the org. that you are in anyway's...

Hey Lalak how have you been? I haven't recived any of your e-mails about TBS lately. So how is the life at TBS? I don't know if you have the same cell phone number but if you do let me know so I can give you a call and see how things are going for you.

EA-6B As far as contracting goes all you are doing is contracting for PLC and your future in Corp if you decide to stick with it. You will swear in but don't worry they don't have you by the balls. I don't really know why they have us swear in but they do. Also I don't think you will swear in...

No it's not to late to be sent to PLC for this summer. My package wasn't sent out until like Dec or Jan when I submitted. And I was fine. Good Luck.

I'm from Cleveland OH.

Raptor and Klotsman I will also be there for another six weeks of fun.

Brandon, I can be wrong about this so someone please correct me if I am wrong. I beleive that if you go the ROTC route, then you do not get guranteed an air slot. The way ROTC does it is considered on how well you do in ROTC and how involved you got in ROTC during your years there. Once you...

Don't forget about me. Karlol@bgnet.bgsu.edu

Mcceba1919, Sorry if I butchered your name up there, but when you say that before they submit your package they give you that flight physical what package are you talking about? Are you talking about your package to TBS or OCS or to Flight School, because I went to OCS last summer and I don't...

Well I hope that I don't end up getting screwed in the long run but nothing I can do. Hey there Lalack, Sorry I mean sir. How is the married life going for you. The accident actually happened in your hometown of brecksville through the metroparks (damn those turns). Give me a call sometime...

Thanks for the reply gentlemen, I guess I won't have to much to worry about then.

I was just wondering when you go for your flight physical once you get commissioned can you be dropped from pilot for having scoliosis (a bend in the spine). Obviously for people who have a major problem they will be dropped but how about for slight problems. The reason I ask is because I got...

I'm assuming you are talking about PLC Jr's. Yes you will graduate with PLC SR's at least we did last year in Jr's.

Hey no problem, and good luck.

USMC I went through PLC juniors last summer and also have to have 3 internships before I graduate. What I suggest you do is go to the co-op office or internship office at your school and if you decide to go to OCS ask them if they will count it as a internship considering the Marines will be...

Hey there Taxman2 you nasty thing it's Landrau. I went this summer but was in Jr's India/3, anyone else there with me. How about Sergeant Instructor Gunnery Sergeant Baker anyone remember him? What a scary Marine he was.

Thanks alot I appreciate the response.

Thanks alot I appreciate the response.

I currently have a first class medical certificate in the civilian world, and I was just wondering how much more indepth the flight physical is in the military aspect. Thanks alot

Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it.

This past summer I attended my first 6 weeks at OCS for the Marine Corp and passed my flight test, to be put on an Air Contract. I am told that the air contract guarantees a seat to flight school if found medically qualified at TBS. Well, I was just wondering if there is any newly Commisined...

Charger, I recently went to OCS this past summer and like you I have never had a real problem with blisters. During OCS yes you will run alot but if you break your boots in before you get there you should be fine. When I went to OCS I never had broken in my boots and I never had a problem...
