    Personally I dont want to ever get fat like that.

    Nice Landing!

    +1 for living -1 for flying so low with a single engine and not having a good place to set it down. +1 for being lucky -1 for clapping and then almost becoming part of a "priceless" video in which you rip a wing off after hitting a telephone pole while parking. =Average flight ;)

    IFS/NFO's

    If you think a military screening process with the instructors being civilians is bullshit, then you are right IMHO. Furthermore, I think IFS is a good program for SNA's but for the love of God, why are we wasting the money on SNFO's. I think my background sort of gives me latitude to have an...

    Predator C Avenger

    You don't hate UAV's.....you hate UAV pilots:D JK...you will be thankful when a UAV precedes you to a heavily armed target area and eliminates/hurts the surface-to-air site that has your #.

    Why does the Marine Corps have its own "Air Force"?

    I would have pissed my pants.

    Medical Disqualification?

    Dude, you are actually obliged to dime him out.....so we can bestow "nut buster" or nutter upon him.

    USN Silent Drill Team

    Well I guess this pretty much answers the SWO Sidearm thread.

    Why does the Marine Corps have its own "Air Force"?

    I got to shoot "the gun" for the first time last week. Amazing weapon and extremely important to have, especially in CAS environment.

    Bird Strikes/Visor Protection Help Needed

    I have a buddy who had a birdstrike that came through the 45 in Meridian in the 99-00 timeframe. The visor and mask combo saved his eyes. I am personally guilty sometimes of pulling my visor up, especially when bouncing. Although the Hornet can take some bird beating in the landing...

    This is why you should want to be a steely-eyed bomb-dropping aviator!

    FY09 Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP)

    That equates to about $364 per flight hour for the Harrier guys!

    You can definitely serve in some capacity. Research the eye thing....do a search...someone posted something similar yesterday.

    I think what he is trying to say is he loves Marines.

    Maybe I shouldn't tell you that I whistled a Kenny Loggins tune walking to the jet yesterday:D:D:D

    I was demonstrating the tactic for sucking in and getting a rise out of someone:D

    V/STOL Hover question(s)

    :confused::confused::eek::eek: Phrog.....I think you have been watching a bit too much Topgun. ACM is a regime where you do not want to waste energy. Putting the speedbrakes out does exactly that. If you need to slow down, you are in a one-circle fight (wiki BFM). He who hits the brick...

    Away the boarding party (VBSS and SWOs with guns); Marines, too!

    OK, so bottom line is no, you don't get a sidearm unless you are on a boarding team.

    NROTC options if I do not receive the scholarship

    +1 for your candor. For those not in the know, making E-5 that quickly is indicative of a sailor who has their shit together and is a top performer. Let em also add this. I have known more than one sailor with a degree who was not picked up for a commissioning program. I know one who cam...

    NROTC options if I do not receive the scholarship

    They are going to try to guilt trip, persuade, shame, ridicule you.....but if you want to be an officer 'Bubba is right. Sack up and tell them you have changed your mind, appreciate the oppurtunity, but will be pursuing a commission. Stand by for some more ridicule, propaganda, and even lies...

    NROTC options if I do not receive the scholarship

    Do a search on here. If being an officer is a priority, realize that it is alot harder getting a commission if you are enlisted. The enlisted recruiters are going to try to hld your feet to the fire to keep you as a number on their books but if being an officer is what you want.....run! Going...

    Where to find senior officers

    It's an interview conducted by an officer to make sure said applicant is what we want in the Navy and not some douchenozzle.

    Chinese Develop Special "Kill Weapon" to Destroy U.S. Aircraft Carriers

    That is a pretty presumptive statement. Either way, if they were to destroy a carrier, it would be a matter of time before the Made in China labels on everything you own were Made in the USA because of a decisive kick in the nuts in return. Even though we have 11 carriers, does not mean we can...

    The Steve Wilkins Memorial Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) Thread

    I was in our weaponeering program today calculating delivery parameters for practice bombs and little did I know that after GP there is the heavy inert, after heavy inert is practice bombs and after that, are SWO's. Did you know that releasing a SWO in a 45 degree dive at 500 knots does ths same...

    What car is your plane...

    Hornet is to Ferrari as Phrog is to ?Chevy Suburban?:D I would actually classify the Raptor as the McLaren of fighters

    I wonder what they say about our Army of One, Marine Dragon Slayer, or Accelerate Your Life by cleaning a head commercials.

    Well until the USMC gets Raptors, you and I both will have to just settle for a Ferrari

    Who supports the EMBA?

    Quite a few however remember this is Navy not USMC. (Marines cannot count past their 10th finger or toe) Not everyone has a masters and in fact most do not. It is a way to one-up your competition and in my case, get it done and concentrate on tactics while my peers who have had a normal fleet...

    If you ever mention CR-2 again, I am going to bitch slap you! I have never heard of a watch being banned in ejection seat aircraft??? TAG makes some nice models.

    Who supports the EMBA?

    An MBA opens up doors in budgeting if you wanted to go down that route. Budgeting experience in the military can be lucrative when you get out.
  40. FLYTPAY

    Who supports the EMBA?

    VFA-106 allows it. I bet since we have guest fliers from CNAL that CNAL would allow it. I think it is BS if they will not let you do it. Have you done JPME 1? Evening classes, takes 2 years and 9 elective hours to get the NWC Masters.
