After years of Brainwashing by me, my oldest just got his Service Selection and Contract for Marine Pilot out of the boat school. TBS here he comes. :)

OK say a Sony Pictures is gonna film a new movie and needs a flyby shot that does a lap around the statue. How do they get permission to do this post 9/11?

Top Gun Sequel in the works with Tom Cruise I hope that they don't FUBAR this one. Let's hope it joins the ranks of The Godfather II, Empire Strikes Back, and the some of the very few sequels that exceed the original movie. http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/10/14/top-gun-2-tom-cruise/

Hey guys/gals I am trying to come up with a "must have" application that i could write for the military. I am looking for ideas that you may have said to yourself. "damn I wish i had that app" or "I wish my phone had that" I am initially going to write this for the Android based phones for the...

Thanks HAL, I think my confusion is where in the pipeline does the path diverge. Pointy nose guys go one place Helo's go another, Maritime go another direction. That is where I get lost. Do you go through rotary, multi-engine, both or a hybrid? Edit: maybe someone with his MSPP warfare pin...

Post to the Moderators, could anyone please direct me to the MV22 training pipeline I just spent a day or so searching for it and scanning/reading the 39 pages of this thread. I think it would be a good idea to have a new thread that tells you how to become a pilot of one of these bad boys...

1985 Shifting Sands E club at FCTCL Dam Neck had strippers on Wednesday Night. I still have a picture of one of them on my lap somewhere, Lap dances were $5.00 Beer was a buck and The CPO club did not have the entertainment at all due to the chiefs wives complaining. So on Wednesday's there was...

How does it work for the Boat School wanna be Marine pilots? Do they have a "contract" at service selection where if they pass each phase post grad training at an acceptable level (ie TBS etc..) they get a slot in the pipeline?

see the hook on that thing, just going through the scenarios in my head on what a "bolter" means to that guy!

If you are invited to a military social function where the dress is proscribed (SDB, Dinner Dress, etc...) and you are a policeman, or firefighter, would you wear your equivalent, or would that be acceptible and even if it is would it be a little too weird?

This is another Black Eye for USNA Football. http://www.navytimes.com/news/2010/05/navy_marine_cheating_ballard_052510w/ You have to be a person of integrity. And to the tool that thinks" he didn’t understand the need to learn land navigation skills when technology, such as GPS, could do the...

Congrats, Good luck on the road ahead.

Wow, when she walked into the room, did the lights dim from the giga brain drain on the power grids!!!!!!

A previous thread on why college was needed made me think, and I came up with 2 questions. 1.Who, say after WWII would be the youngest person to become a commissioned officer on record? 2.a) Does anyone know if say a Whiz kid graduated a 4 year University at say 18, would he/she be eligible for...

Had a TH across the river in Newport News, I got to Ike when she was SLEP and after it was over would do the commute. No gangs, lots of kids, NNSY workers are Navy friendly and will look out for you. It could be a long commute on fridays but much more bang for the buck. 3/2 TH was 20% cheaper...

Blue Digi does not make any sense. If you can't see the man who feel overboard because he is blending in with the blue water, how ya gonna find him.

Thanks, I think that is a great start, It may vary USN v. USMC at the FRS stage as far as location/squad. I need the timeframes (length)for each segment, API, Inter, etc... not withstanding stashing time for classing up.

Hey guys, I have been searching for 2 flowcharts, 1st is the pilot training flowchart, and the second is the Naval aviator career flowchart. My HS kid and I are looking for a report he has in school. I have tried the search features, however I may not be using the correct key words. I found the...

So essentially a plebe today at the boat school will have nary a chance to be a fighter pilot as the UCAS-N will take over or is it his younger brothers worry? Or Maybe his kids?

Just Get NIKE, AISC's UnderArmor or whoever to make them with a Navy LOGO slapped on and it would be a vast improvement.

I think it is a CGI picture. On Dec 29th there was ice in the inland water at PAX. Don't see any there!

My wife and I would like to buy a set of Dress uniforms for my son as a commissioning present. I have heard there are some tailors who are better than others. The NEX stuff is fine for day to day, however I always thought a tailored uniform for formal occasions is a good thing to have. Yes I...

Bunny on the run,,,,,, back in the old days of Computer punch cards and pneumatic tubes,,, There was a certain Neat Freak OSCS on the IKE that was an amazingly mean evil person. His desk was located next to the basket that caught the pneumatic tube message cartriges(bunnies). When a message...

What if.... General M was told to "inadvertantly" float this one out there as a "trial balloon" That way BHO would not look like a "war monger" to his primary ultra left constituency (the hollywood types who write huge checks) Then BHO could then say that he was upping troop levels at the...

Oh Yes! TQM, Now replaced with a more assinine Six Sigma. Which is killing creativity, common sense, and having a pair at your company or a company near you very soon.

Oh they got their Junk slammed in the door It came down from the OSD. OSD Staffers Kid is at the Canoe U. Was playing it for daddy who showed it around the office. Star with at hard on found out and you can imagine the rest. Got laughs from Staffers though.

So if your destroyer is following the carrier during flight ops, it is called standing plane guard... Then what is it called when your destroyer is sitting of cape canaveral during a shuttle launch? Is there a standard amount/configuration of ships involved each time the shuttle launches...
