    Homeowners Assistance Program

    I've been told that doing a short sale can effect your TSS clearance, and advised to not do that in my case.

    Homeowners Assistance Program

    One question that I have not received a straight answer for is do I need to bring the loss of money to the table in closing, i.e. if my house is $40K under water, do I need to bring $40K to the table at closing? No kidding, since I first looked into the program last summer, my house slides $1K a...

    T-34C Desktop Models

    My $0.02 on the wooden desktop T-34's I see that this thread is old, but I wanted to add some things. I had noticed that when I was in Wings last that there were two obviously different T-34C's on display. When I asked the owner about the differences, he informed me that the T-34 that...

    Advanced timelines for the TC-12

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed that upon finishing up at NAS Whiting that I'll go through the P-3 selection process and into that pipeline (If that's what the Navy wants me to do). While I know mileage will vary for everyone in a training pipeline due to wx, aircraft availability, etc., approx...

    FY10 STA-21 Applicants gather round!

    As far as alternates, there were a few! I know at least three in our class in FY08, but I heard as many as 9. Just in our division there were two folks. IT DOES HAPPEN FOR YOU GUYS AND GALS, which is why it's important to finish EVERYTHING that is asked, because good things do happen for...

    FY10 STA-21 Applicants gather round!

    I wanted to share a little seemingly silly words of wisdom with the selected heading to NSI: -DON'T BUY MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS AND BRING THEM BACK INTO KING HALL *This is especially bad if done before 1800. Trust me. -If you are a private pilot (or commercial pilot), and you fail a Nav I test...

    FY10 STA-21 Applicants gather round!

    Wow, still nothing. I don't know if this has changed, but some of you will have literally until Dec 17th to get everything in. Quite frankly, you can do it, but if ANY school drags their feet.... I really feel bad for all of you folks. I saw that the MCPON is looking into it via Facebook.

    So.....Maybe the results will come out for you all tomorrow then? I have a vested interest since I know at least three of you with packages submitted. Hopefully you are all courteous enough to link the NAVADMIN with the results.... I'll let the MH-53E/MH-60S bashing continue now...

    Wow, I'm surprised to see that the results are not out for this cycle yet. This might not be the best idea out there, but it's not a bad one, so I'll throw it out there. One of the hang ups I had post selection was getting the college's of choice Acceptance Letters in a timely manner. When...

    It will be in your orders if you can or not. I know some of the folks have that situation in my division, but I didn't have to deal with that and i don't want to give you bad gouge. The specifics as far as an overseas family move is not one I can help out with. Sorry. Anyone who has, please...

    FY10 STA-21 Applicants gather round!

    All true, but don't bother moving them out there with you. You wouldn't get to see them for the first few weeks anyway. Just leave them in WA, it's only 8 weeks on the Narragassett Bay.

    FY10 STA-21 Applicants gather round!

    I got picked up for the FY08 cycle. Your family will stay behind and not accompany you. You should still get BAH for your last command, as you'll be TAD to NSI. After NSI, you can relocated them to where your school is. I found a school in my town, so it was a cheap move for me. I hope this...

    API rumor control

    I've seen that in every thread I've read on this site. Not just to the ones I've contributed to, but also to the ones viewed. Ever played the game "telephone" as a kid? I did, and I always screwed up the message on purpose. Is AW a forum for recovering "telephone" players? I dunno. Wait...

    API rumor control

    I've been in a while and I know what your talking about. You're not shining any light on anything I'm not familiar with or seen, but I think that is good for some to read. Good point on the tipsy taxi card. I didn't mention that and it was well put.

    Unfortunately I think that my point has been lost somewhere in the minutia here.

    API rumor control

    Well, Yeah.... :) I'm in agreement with you. However, I lament to my prior post where I wrote "If just one person". I think I've illustrated that enough and I appreciate everyone's feedback from guys that have been around, but I think we are all echoing the same things here. However, with...

    API rumor control

    As you probably read on the first page, someone always manages to give a command a bad name or do something silly like this no matter where you go. All commands have incidences like this. I just dislike it when it adversely effects my vacation...I mean A-pool. :icon_smil

    API rumor control

    I've been in this business for a while and you are right. Its the same old poop different toilet regarding these folks. Do I think someone will have an epiphany? "If we can just reach one person".... That sums it up. My $0.02 on your statement: If we all had that kind of common sense, then...

    API rumor control

    Great example of alcohol and ego. Thanks for illustrating my point.
  32. mh53eflyguy

    API rumor control

    There are truths to your words. People seem to need constant reminders via someone setting the example, or becoming the example. Might this make a difference? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Now I'll sound like a bleeding heart liberal by stating "If I can reach even one person"... Ok, enough of that

    API rumor control

    So.....Rumor has it that we are mustering in whites because someone got to meet the local law enforcement folks. I know I'm about to get flamed, but I'm not going to debate if that rumor is true or not, there is a bigger point to be made. Regardless of the rumor, maybe this will be a wake up...

    Sept. 30 - NO MORE NAC WINGINGS AT FRS

    I know at AWSTS (The MH-53E FRAC/FRS) that this was discussed prior to my departure their in early 2008. I was told though by the majority of the senior guys (nearing retiring status) that they didn't earn their wings until they got to their units (HM-14, HM-15, HM-16, HM-18, HC-2 (when they...

    I had to find a picture of what you are all talking about... I remembered back to my college days of the "best" place to find everything, Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chengdu_J-10 This one looks more like an F-16 than the J-10 to me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_F-2

    Current A-Pool/API students? Pathetic...or The Great Mustin Beach O'Club Thread

    This is a loaded question, but is the curriculum for API the same "fire hose" effect that an enlisted member would have experienced in A school? I do realize that this is risking locking the thread in asking the question....and loving every second of thinking of that!

    Stupid questions about Naval Aviation (Pt 2)

    That must be why I couldn't find it. My last skipped was in a class-A mishap with a Cessna and wasn't keen on me flying them. I thought he had muttered something in the 3710 about it, that is why I was looking in there. Thanks!

    Stupid questions about Naval Aviation (Pt 2)

    Stupid Question No. 2 for this thread... In an effort to CYA (or MY), Since I can't find anything on it, is there anything written anywhere that explicitly says that I cannot fly on my own during A-Pool, API, etc? I was hoping to rent a plane and fly around some for fun. I've been flying for a...

    Stupid questions about Naval Aviation (Pt 2)

    Well, The forum said "Stupid Aviation Questions". I'm not complaining, nor and I against doing it all again. I did it once before so I don't see why I can't do it again! I'm all about swimming in a flight suit again! I had a blast in aircrew school, I'm looking forward to the same stuff on...

    Stupid questions about Naval Aviation (Pt 2)

    That's what I had heard. I do not see it written anywhere though, but any first-hand knowledge of this is appreciated. Maybe I can man the "hook" and get a big foam finger on like you'd see at a ball game while I'm at it.
  42. mh53eflyguy

    Stupid questions about Naval Aviation (Pt 2)

    If you were a prior enlisted aircrewman, is it true that you do not have to do the mile swim again during API? If that is true, what other things are excluded? I heard the phys stuff was mostly the same that I went through in NACCS, and in some cases, exactly repeating "Disney Week" and "Hell...

    New Enlisted Commissioning website by Mustangs for future Mustangs

    I think it's important to SWO's in that community, but I have otherwise only on rare occasions heard someone use this as a reference to a prior enlisted "O". I was around Pilot's my entire time as an enlisted, and I suspect that it wasn't a popular nickname amongst the cool call signs that they...

    New Enlisted Commissioning website by Mustangs for future Mustangs

    As far as we are concerned, if you swore in and went to boot camp, you're more than worthy of being able to check out the website! I understand you cannot be an O-1E pay grade unless you have 4 years of enlisted service. That is something I have not read for myself, but that would be a great...

    FY09 STA-21 Soup to selection and beyond MEGA thread

    Last year you had to have all the physicals, the school acceptances, page 13, etc, by 17DEC08 if you were checking into NSI in February. It may seem like a lot of time, but it goes by quick, and you'll be waiting on schools to get their poop together for you. It's actually the slowest part...
