    BDCP and health insurance

    When you get your ID they have to register you in DEERS, once that is done I'm pretty sure they will ask you to enter a pin. I couldn't remember that pin, so when I logged into myPay the first time I used my SS# and the last 5 digits of my social for my pin. Then I was able to reset it. It is...

    BDCP and health insurance

    I had to drive to a MTF to get signed up with Tricare Prime Remote so I can see my local civilian doc. However I believe you can sign yourself up on the Beneficiary Web Enrollment site just use your myPay info to login.

    NFO ---> Astronaut duty?

    Check out the November issue of Popular Science, there is an article in there about the "astronaut of the future". It talks a lot about what future astronauts will endure now that the shuttle is being decommissioned. It's a good read.

    Well so much for watching Naval aircraft overhead. Not that they flew that much anyway. Usually its just a shit load of C130s and the occasional F22.

    How much does the BDCP Actually pay?

    I know by the amount being direct deposited into my account. (The 2k is after everything) But it just doesn't add up. $1650(E3)+$324(BAS)+$959(BAH Atlanta) = $2933 before taxes So thats a helluva lot taken out for taxes or something isn't right. Mypay said to wait two business days for the...

    Yea it varies but to give you a little more of an idea it took me about a month to get FS, and then 2.5 months to get my first check. Better just settle in for the wait ;)

    Thinking about BDCP again and have questions

    You can go ahead and apply and get your Pro Rec and then take your PRT. That is what I did. At least that way if you get picked up you know your running with almost a definite chance of being in the program. A lil motivation :icon_wink

    Looking into BDCP

    No one can really tell you your chances, you just have to give it your best and apply. It's a tough program to get into, but you have decent GPA and sounds like you should do well on the ASTB. Just be sure to use scented paper when you submit your package, I hear the board likes that ;)

    Death Wish: Canadian man steals Cessna hoping US will shoot him down

    I heard about this on the news last night. I'm glad they finally caught the guy, last I heard he landed his plane and was on the run. This is a pretty crazy way to end your life, at least he had enough sense to avoid heavily populated areas.

    My BDCP questions leading up to final submission

    Just wear plain clothes and boxers and you will be fine. If you take a protein supplement, make sure you drink plenty of water beforehand to flush it out of your system. If anything shows up on your piss test you get one re-take, and if you still have high levels of protein you have to come...

    I also have trouble with my depth perception. I failed the test at MEPS the first go around, and barely passed when they let me re-test. But now I'm curious if I really do have a problem or if it was just the test. I mean I can do the magic eye books no problem that has to account for...

    Wanted: T-34 for X-Plane sim

    Just out of curiosity what are your system specs? I've been thinking about getting X-plane mostly to just land the F4 on the carrier, but my system just barely meets the minimums. I think it might run too crappy to enjoy.

    Wings over Houston

    I just saw the TBirds this past weekend at the Wings Over Marietta show at Dobbins. They put on a pretty good show, but I enjoy the Blues better. I dunno if they are going to do the F22 demo there but it was awesome! The F22 pilot got lower than the TBirds ever did.
