Sweeeeeet. CU is nice... especially in the summer.

NSI was EASY after BOOST, because almost everyone knew eachother already. It was just going through the motions. They didn't take our cell phones from us, so we could use them after working hours (1700ish). I dont ever remember being beat down... We went to the sand pit for 15-20 min and did...

Zero, you have to mess up real bad to get booted. Don't be concerned with getting kicked out. It won't happen. Just do what you need to do and they make sure you get through.

MB- There is a beautiful RV park on base at NAB Little Creek. I am not 100% sure if they offer year around or not, but it seems like it is full of 5th wheels that don't move very often. It is definitely worth a shot. It is located in a wooded area and it is like camping on the base. Plus it is...

Nice bike, good luck on getting it registered. Lucky for me I don't live anywhere near a base, and never go to a base so I don't have to deal with base stickers and that non-sense.

Not long. It is only like 10-12 miles. The 163 is ok.. but it can get pretty packed during rush hour. As long as the commute times are planned well you should not have a problem though. And, despite what some people may say about ocean beach, from third party opinions, I have actually lived...

I have lived in both Imperial Beach and Ocean Beach. IB would be to far of a commute up to the air station, but OB would not be so bad. Loved the area. My wife also loved the area. They have a huge dog park and dog beach in Ocean beach, close to many drinking establishments in OB, PB, and MB...

Yes you will have a ceremony towards the end of July. Your folks will be able to come and take photos and cry or whatever they are into. Be warned though, they jerked us around about our graduation date until mid-to late June.

OK.. I will try and answer all the questions from the previous posts... 1) I contacted a Chief who works at OTCN, he didn't have any news on BOOST.. as far as he knew it was going away. So your guess is as good as mine on that one................ 2) Keep all of your uniforms until the day you...

At Colorado the OC's used to wear the anchors but they did away with them because it looks retarded.

I am not sure I completely understand the question... but... I do not think you go TAD from your current commands. NSI is just a TAD pit-stop en route to your ROTC unit.

If you are going to NSI for the Feb class, I don't know if golf would be the best option. It is bitter cold and the winds are pretty brutal until april-may. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

If this seriously is your best argument... then are you just as critical of Palin's crazy church? Or is THAT ok because you like the republican ticket. Or.. maybe the fact that McCain has no history of being religious UNTIL he decided to get into politics. Your argument is so one sided that you...

I've read that. Thanks. Great book for comparative politics. Doesn't apply to anything we have talked about. You should skim through it sometime.

I will tell you what, I don't think either of their tax plans will affect me. Since only my base pay is taxed, I am in such a low income bracket that I always get my taxes back at the end of the year anyways. I don't pay state taxes.. so what I really look at is who's plan will be most...

Sounds like you should go back and check all of your facts on both sides.

or ANY other network on Palin.

First, congrats to big iron crewman. And second, call Ed Straten, he will most likely let you fax everything to him. I think that is how I did it, it is quick and you can call 15 min later to verify everything was recieved.

Your degree plans When I did my degree plan, I was surprised at how little I had to do for it. Just fill one out the best you can, make sure you include everything you need for your major and the Navy. Call an advisor at the school of your choice, explain the situation to them, then they will...

Looks like he is foreign military of some type. His shoulder boards are rounded unlike ours.

I have never had gold wings, mine are silver BUT... could it be possible that they are a really old pair of wings handed down from his father or grandfather who was an old aviator? Do they fade with time at all? Especially if they are just gold plated.

See below.

So much stuff, on such a small little base. Cool pics.

You can't say the current republican is handing the democrats a finely tuned machine to work with...

I only crossed it to play golf in Jamestown, or go drinking in Warwick. Most of the other times I went the other way towards Boston or stayed in Newport. And yes they do sell a pack of 10 coins for like 10 bucks. Good deal.

Apply on-line, but follow up within a couple days to all the colleges and speak to the admissions people and tell them your situation. They are pretty understanding and some will even expedite the process for you and throw you application on top of the pile. After the application, they all will...

May I suggest a partial-dity move........ =)

1. There is no toll to get to Newport from Base. The Bridge you speak of is the Jamestown bridge and you only need to cross it to go towards the airport or Providence. You won't cross it daily or anything. 2. I wish I would have brought my bike. The weather was extremely nice May-July and it...

Yes you will be there a little over 6 months. If you can drive I would highly suggest it. I brought my truck with me, and I am very happy that I did. Sucks being stuck around Newport all the time.

I am not making this up.... I hit an owl on Skyline drive. It was like 11pm and there was NO ONE up there except for me and some friends in the truck behind me. I am driving along, just after the entrance gate and a huge owl flew right in front of my truck and I nailed it going about 25. I get...

True. What always made me cringe were the guys who would buy a new first bike.. and the next day talk about picking up knee pucks and heading to the hills. Crazy.

You can't beat USAA/Progressive for bikes.

Unfortunately.. there is no choice. You get who you get. :) Goose poop.. wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. Only had to roll around in it a handful of times. As far as families go.. after about week 3 or 4 you start to get liberties on and then off base. No problem seeing families. My...

It all has to do with your self control, and a healthy fear of death. If you can control yourself, almost anything would be a decent first bike. I started with a CBR900RR 8 years ago, and recently moved to a ZX12R. The CBR was a great bike, and I didn't get bored with it after 6-12 months like a...

Or the 51st state in the union. Maybe our oil prices would go down then...

If you get selected consider yourself golden... BOOST is academically semi-challenging.. but the military aspect is near non-existent... NSI is cake...

To answer your question.. yes you can use elliptical machines at OCS. There are some on the third deck that OCS guys/gals frequent. You cannot use them for your PRT though. Only for your own personal extra credit.

Don't let the man keep you down.

Apply. There was a guy this year on IA who was selected and sent home for the program.

It says you must agree to cut the plane into 4" pieces.. it didn't say anything about not re-assembling your 4" metal pieces back into an airplane with super glue and liquid nails. ;)

Don't thank me, thank google. http://www.airshowscalendar.com/event_detail.cfm?i=3&e=5350&m=4&y=2008&s=&p=

You don't submit your physical with your package. When you get selected you have to fax/mail the forms to Pensacola and they forward everything to BUMED and NOMI. Note to all - ensure you get you SNA done before you apply if at all possible, you would be hating life to get accepted for STA-21...

Old PT gear.

That is ridiculous.. and funny. It is amazing the things the press can dig up and piece together during a candidates push for office.

Get over it. It is what it is. Don't like it? Don't join. Done.

Does this mean she cannot keep her Gucci, Paris Hilton, bug eye sunglasses either during OCS? Step, freeze, I think not.

Still pretty homo.

HA! I stand corrected. There is one retarded military outfit, with a "dum" rule.

What about the other 60-70% of E1-E-4 who live on the boat FULL time. No BAH, no barracks, no COMRATS. I have known many folks who would share a 2 bedroom apartment with 5-6 people because living on a boat all the time is no fun. The squadrons normally have the luxury of barracks for all the...

Recruiters = Sales people. Never trust a salesman. Do your own research. It is a crappy truth, but it is truth none the less. It probably wouldnt be like that if there was a line at the recruiters office of people who wanted to join. That is not the case though. I know a guy who recruits. He...
