    Hunting in South Texas

    Kingsville dudes: For those who want to hunt deer out of Escondido, just go by the ITT office and buy tickets for the lottery. It's the only way you can get a spot for deer. They draw for three different hunting periods and you can hunt your deer every day during that period until you tag...

    Ifs Fex

    Hey, jump in as soon as you like. I was just referring to seizing good shot opportunities in an effort to recharge your batteries prior to the marathon. If you're presented with the chance to start asap, and you're up to it, get on it. For the most part, it's not really within your realm of...

    Ifs Fex

    I wouldn't expect everyone's situation to be the exact same. There are always going to be people who have specific needs. However, it's hard not to sit back and laugh at the guys who are so eager to start as soon as possible. You can't blame 'em for their level of motivation, but it makes me...

    Ifs Fex

    I'm still confused as to why people would opt out of "sitting at the beach" vs. studying your ass off as soon as you check-in? If you're guaranteed to get a 6 month vacation just by choosing an IFS location, then go there. It's not pipeline/platform selection, just introducing some flight time...

    USMC 'O' promotion info

    So, uhhh... These numbers... Any idea how they will correspond with a promotion date? Likely answer could be your commissioning date, but I hear conflicting stories.

    Self-confidence and flight training

    I guess there are worse things that could happen... Anyhow, this confidence vs. self doubt thingy can be a bit tricky. Of course, the only way to get a grip on it is to keep trying to do those things you seem to doubt yourself on. I'm almost always apprehensive before a flight because I...

    T-45 vs Bird HUD Video

    Heard of a guy who "won" by saving a -45 with a gear-up landing in a nearby field, due to a flameout. Although there's a bit more to the story, explaining why he got into that situation in the first place, he was supposed to eject. Although he saved the jet, you gotta wonder if his situation...

    Texans see UFOs...actually military jets

    Go to Hard 8's. You can get a pork chop dipped in butter! Dublin Dr. Peppers from the fountain. Damn, I miss it!

    That's cool to hear the story behind all that. I was on that deployment on '99 and remember that jet still sitting in the hangar bay every day on the way to chow.

    Dan Clark was a SPC at TBS? I thought he played pro football?

    Anyone not take a Commission?

    So all Marine Officers say that graduation from OCS is the most memorable day of their life? Hmmm... I think I might remember trying to hurry up and get the car so I could go get some food, after the graduation thingy... Damn, I must have missed that memo.

    We didn't leave until the day after, either. Last minute fitrep/room inspection stuff.

    Classing up for API

    Yea, I was thinking something similar. Good of you to be motivated and all, really, it is. But who the fuck cares? Seriously... Wake up at 1000 tomorrow morning and watch the news in your underwear over a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. Go buy some charcoal, steaks and beer from the grocery...

    Classing up for API

    Dude, relax. There's no hurry. You make the same kinda paycheck whether you're getting hammered with friends or studying 16 hrs a day. Be happy you don't start until later, brotha.

    Attrition

    Flying has it's fun parts... But the learing bit can be a pain in the ass from time to time, as it is for most everyone. Just press, and see how things come along. There will probably be plenty of times in flight school that you won't want to fly (like after looking at the schedule the night...

    Goodbye TBS

    I've never seen more traffic in my life, simply because some poor bastard was changing his tire on the side of the road. You'd have thought there'd be a seven car pile-up. The drivers suck.

    Goodbye TBS

    I-95 traffic and "lookie loos" that cause it.

    What percent get winged?

    Percentages for "x" can be found every place you go. Here in Krock, they have a historical 12% attrition rate, which fluctuates each fiscal yr. I guess that means 88% get winged here out of advanced?

    Quantico Area Cell Reception

    Dude, I had T-mobile about a year before TBS and absolutely hated them. However, once I showed up in Quantico it worked perfectly. Some other guys were always standing outside to talk on the phone but I pretty much had a peak signal at all times in that area.

    I swear to God, sarcasm is lost on some of you. Dude, just re-read the post and see how much sense it makes.

    He is Navy, not me, where do I practice?

    I'm sure she appreciate's the tip, jackass... As mentioned, be sure to search out those military discounts and don't fret about your husband having any kind of advantage - you just don't get that much military practice.

    Apartment Rip-off

    I had a friend who recently dealt with this stuff. I suggested he go to the base housing office and tell them the situation. When he did, they took on the problem as if it were their own and took care of it. Good luck, man.

    Getting PPL

    Well then... I'm in for a treat. I thought API was okay, but primary really sucked. That being the case, I concur with the above advice. Go out and have fun while waiting for class-up. It's all time you wish you could get back and never ever will, so take advantage.

    Ocs-documents To Bring To Ocs

    You rate BAH while at OCS since you're married. Go ahead and bring your rental agreement/proof of housing with you, but I doubt they'll look at it. I brought mine, but never had to use it. I did, however, require an official copy of my marriage certificate, which I am sure was used to qualify...

    calling shotgun

    I see your point, but as far as handling is concerned, the 870 still beats it. This guy is looking for a pump shotgun and from what I've experienced, the Mossberg doesn't compare. Ever wonder why the forearm is so damned flimsy? I'm not sure, but it's one of the most annoying things I've ever...

    I agree. That is easily the best choice, for the money.

    C-130 Deployments

    Got a chance to spend a little time at 234 earlier this year. They fly the T model and get all the advantages of having a full crew compliment (Navs, FE, etc.). Really good people too... I would love to go there, given the chance. Only prob is that company grade officers are few and far...

    Flight school NPQ

    Generally, the above statement applies. However, I've been witness to the discussions of "decisionmakers" that indicate Manpower making an attempt to favor your needs in NPQ or attrite situations, vice DORs. Nothing's ever guaranteed though!

    T-Mobile Service at TBS

    T-Mobile works well on Camp Barrett. Most of my buddies have to stand in the right part of their rooms to get good reception inside the boq, but I'm always peaked out on my signal. Never had any real problems with it out here. It really sucked back at home, so now I'm glad I didn't ditch them...

    Prk

    This is actually what was said by the Alpha XO. However, I heard a lot of chatter afterward from Lts who said they had PRK done by a civilian and were pq'd for a flight contract anyway. I'd just ask the OSO if it's allowed, that way you don't mess up your chances at locking in a flight...

    When to order uniforms?

    This is true... Alpha company is scurrying to get their Service Alphas sooner; however, it is highly unlikely that we will be wearing them on those first Fridays. Given what we were told (which can also be total BS...), I still expect to be wearing cammies.

    The only "bills" around here are a result of having to buy every damn thing under the sun that is required to be at this place... After those expenses, you should have a little something left.

    So, would you say that the humps at TBS are easier or more difficult than the ones at OCS?
  44. FrogFly

    Yep... that's the story as of now. I started TAD to the OSO today and will report to Alpha Co. It looks like IFS will be after TBS. Oh well, what the hell.

    Pushing Air Contracts Back?

    Aren't there some SNAs who went through the IFS training while at TBS? I would also like to get an idea of what the daily routine is like in Mike Co., prior to classing up for TBS. Is there a lot of dead time or is it full of duty days and working parties?
