If you are in the Corps at A&M, I would advise you to stick it out. It gets better, honestly! And you get the satisfaction of having been placed in a situation where life sucks for a few years and you got through it anyway. I'm not far into flight school, but there have been many times already...

Does anyone ever bring their spouses?

I wouldnt trust a recruiter on that at all. Get in touch with the closest NAMI branch and get a flight surgeon's word on that. Last time I heard, Lasik was waiverable (within certain parameters) for enlisted aircrew but not pilots. You never know, he may be right! But you better be sure.

Like I said about 6 hours ago, just stop. The hole is getting deeper, and you are all making this too big of an issue. People are starting to look retarded and embarrass themselves. If I were you I would cut my losses and drop it.

Honestly, this thread just needs to stop. Being a female isn't usually an issue until you make it one. You just did that. No one was sitting around thinking about the differences between men and women until you went and made a thread about it. You basically said "I'm so different I need a whole...

This isn't a new movie. I've had the DVD for awhile.

Live by the back gate, you'll be glad you did when you start mustering. Don't go with Top Gun realty, they do suck now, as they are under new ownership. I second the recommendation of Perdido Sands Realty. Ted's a retired Marine F-18 instructor, will talk to you about flying, and gives a free...

I was in CAP in high school, we didn't have any JROTC's. It was a good alternative. There were definitely a good bunch of kids/adults who took themselves to seriously (cough cough HOMESCHOOLERS cough...). But there were also those who were just trying to prepare for bootcamp/OCS/academies. At...

I got disqualified initially for being CLOSE to -8. My eyes pre-PRK were -7.25 and -7.75. In order to get waived I had to prove my eyes had stabilized (prescription hadn't changed for 5 years) and so the chance of me going over -8 was low. This was 4 years ago when I got my waiver, but they were...

I'm 2+ years out and still have them. All I can say is you can get used to them to where they don't affect your performance. So just sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

OH I just realized something. We may not be talking about the same people. Top Gun Property Management split up the week I moved here. Like Ted and Beth split from the other owner. Ted and Beth, whom everyone is talking about and recommending, changed their name to Perdido Sands Realty for the...

I just moved here a month ago and rented a house through them. I LOVE Ted and Beth. Ted is retired marine F-18 pilot/instructor, company called Top Gun because he went there :0). They are both so nice. Beth even met the utilities people at my house before we got here so we could get hot water on...

Agreed! I think having a nice spit shine on my leathers this morning may have saved me!

Good question! I've seen many different spellings: corframs, corfams, chloroframs, chlorofams, corframes......anyone know the truth? BTW I thought you were being sarcastic and making fun of his spelling, but if not, he's talking about the shiny shoes.

I'm just going to enjoy my weekend and go the route of "surely they won't send a third of us home". Ignorance is bliss!

He said he needs to get rid of 100 from A-pool, and so each cut at inspection equals a pink slip, and the first 100 to get 3 pink slips are gone. And thanks sooner, but I didn't mean shut down the commissioning sources. I meant there are some december grads who have yet to report but are soon on...

I was there this morning too. On one hand, I can't believe they would actually send a third of us home after paying so much to get us here! They should call the people who have yet to report and just tell them to stay home. More economical. On the other hand, I can't believe the LT would...

I only took 15 hours for two semesters of my whole college career. I came in with a lot of high school credits and only needed to take 12 hours a semester. This semester I'm only taking 9 hours. They never had a problem with it.

I don't know what you mean by tier 1 and tier 2, never heard those terms before. But I switched from full scholarship to advanced standing during my sophomore year so that I wouldn't have to take calculus and physics...couldn't pass the calculus...and they let me keep the tuition for the first...

And thanks Rufio, you aren't from UT are you :0)

Hey DesertOasis this is Pena BTW

lol you mean Ambs. yea they are good guys.

I do know a Harris. He's coming down, NFO.

Haven't heard yet, put in for late Jan. Does anyone actually have their orders cut yet?

Here at Texas A&M we found out about a month ago for december grads. We have 8 december grads headed to Pensacola, 6 1370's and 2 1390's.

That was a joke? Thank God. I'd rather be gullible than a SWO.

MIDNJAC said they are going to redesignate people to SWO when they get to Pcola after december grad. Can anyone else speak to the validity of this? If they do that, do you have the option of just getting out?

Thanks!

OK like my previous post said after my flight physical yesterday I suddenly find myself OK for NFO and not pilot, and I never put much thought into NFO. What is the career path for NFO's out of ROTC? I know we owe flight school plus 6, so is the 6 a 3 year sea tour and a 3 year shore duty? Or 2...

Had my flight physical in Corpus yesterday and they said my functional arm reach was two inches too short for pilot, because I don't fit T-34's, but that I'd be ok for NFO. But don't NFO's fly T-34's in primary too?

Ok I keep hearing different things. I know out of NROTC right now SNA is flight school plus 8. Is NFO flight school plus 6?

If anyone out there is in NROTC and planning on doing PRK, I just wanted to put the advice out there to do it early. I'm a junior and just finished the process of getting PRK and getting the waiver cleared. Unfortunately, I did not know that you had to have your PRK waiver by spring break of...

Alright so I got my scores and immediately told my NROTC advisor that I wanted to retake because I thought I needed higher. He told me not to worry about it, that I was fine. Just wanted some other opinions on whether or not I'm on track for SNA selection. I'm at Texas A&M, Telecommunications...
