Really really don't worry about it. They don't serve anything at OCS that contains peanuts and like the others have said, peanut butter is a treat and not one you are forced to indulge. Hell, we didn't even get the option til Candio, we were grab and go the whoooooole time.

I got my orders to NIOC Hawaii up at Kunia and will be heading over to the island in about 2 weeks. Anyone here know some JO's looking for roommates, or have a hot tip on good places to live? Ideally, I'd like to be a part of some ridiculous JO Mansion if I can swing it.

I'm not sure about the pin itself, but we do have about a year long qualifying journey before we are considered full IWOs. We are 1640s while we qual then become 1610s. Hmm...I wonder if reaching level 80 in World of Warcraft is required before we can pin that sweet diddy on.

Touche' & point taken.

^^^ That is equal parts hilarious and disgusting. No one should have lucky underwear. Why its even an issue for females is because those grannie elastic bands can come up past your belly button. Has nothing to do with needing to be attractive, and everything to do with what sits comfortably...

2 Questions: 1.) OTC says to bring $100 in cash, but I have read here and elsewhere in cyberspace that $500 is necessary. I don't think I would have that much available before I go, will I be able to survive on just what OTC says? (I've read that we will be using starcards or something of that...

Shall we call it a draw then? You could argue the fuzz off a peach and as an OC to be I should probably be memorizing gouge and not debating! Hope your optimism pans out, I really do.

M26- I tried to drag that paragraph to the bottom of my post because it was open ended and not directed at Flash. I probably should have put that in parentheses. Schoolbubba- I didn't mean to insult the integrity of this site or it's members. It's a gem on the web and has been super helpful...

Since when was it a gay issue? Are you for real? Staff positions and flight may be open to women but not infantry. Thats a huge chunk of billets. We're not just talking Navy. I'm not saying I am for or against women in combat, only if you want to argue equal treatment and equal oppertunity...

Wouldn't that also make us the only fleet that has no ships? Unless you count a banging virtual game of battleship ;)

The argument I was making wasn't whether our populace was right or wrong in comparison to the other countries concerning our views on gays, only that these countries with the stellar integration rates were decades ahead in their acceptance of them socially. Maybe poor wording choice on my...

They may very well be in that they have governments structured similiar to our own (Right/Left). I'm not debating their professionalism or dogging allies in the WOT. However, the laws legalizing homosexuality were passed in the '60s in both Israel and the UK, and in the early 90s for Australia...

Considering you listed 3 of the most socially liberal countries, it's not surprising the integration portion was fairly easy. (I mean that as fact, not with disdain). But once again! Back to logistics, just do the math: Austrailia: 100,000 in their total military and 51 ships (and only 2...

Which brings the question: what exactly are their goals? What rights are they missing? This isn't about freedom of speech. This is the military. We all give up something in the name of service & professionalism. For the gays who want to serve, they already can. Once again I go back to the...

The schematics alone are harder than integrating women into subs. How many guys are comfortable showering with a guy they know is attracted to men (even if not them specifically)? I know I wouldn't be comfortable showering with a female that was out and I knew it. I'm not comfortable showering...

Already have a class thread going over here man: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=152258&highlight=march+7 There are a couple SNA's so far. There's a link to our facebook group there as well.

That won't delay your ability to BE seen. When I was there back in August, it was a total cattle call. So many people. Every kid has to be scheduled in by their recruiter and it's both enlisted and officer applicants. There are so many people going enlisted it isn't surprising you are back of...

ONU, Louise is will e-mail you as soon as she knows. The only reason I heard before she could tell me was because of a hookup I had through my former enlisted recruiter. She e-mailed me this morning with the news so she wasn't even 24 hours behind my special intel. And yes, the resigned JPAS...

Swearing in end of the week. I had a feeling this would be my class! 25/F/Non-Prior/IW

Purgatory officially ended. OCS on March 7th.

Yak- Our processor e-mailed me this morning saying the JPAS situation was officially fixed, investigation open & medical all turned out. She said the moment the letter pops in the system, signed or not, she'll let me know. I've been thread surfing to see how long it takes once everything is...

Back to the true spirit of the thread, I got this e-mail yesterday and got a good chuckle out of it. Marine Corps Rules: 1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one. 2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough. 3. Have a plan. 4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably...

I only know as much as I've read online between the Navy sites and forums like these. At usnavyocs, there is a LT under the username spartonian who is a METOC. If you create a username there, you can look him up and pm him with questions. He seems eager to help. As I said in the above post...

Hi Sara. I was a closet "weather nut" for many years so when I started applying for OCS, the Oceanography/Meteorology communities interested me as well. You can check out this link for requirements : http://www.cnrc.navy.mil/sanfrancisco/opo/general-information.htm I would also root around on...

Wow July Boards? Glad to hear you have a date now. Thats what the processor recommended I do. Luckily I'm in a small town and the police chief did it for free since it was for "the military". He explained that digital fingerprints aren't prefered for investigations since they are essentially...

I wouldn't say I'm in purgatory, but am tripping over similar problems some who have had long waits have had. I did my PRT and finalized (so I thought) everything first week of November. OR called shortly after to say that after I enlisted back in August, MEPS put me in for a Secret Clearance...

The dudes aren't bad either. Got a lot of photos with them at the bus stops back in the early 00's. The real ratio for girls is probably closer to 2:1. For every two hot chicks, there is one "less qualified for visual stimulation".

I have a 1998 purple Kathy Ireland Huffy. It's roughly the size of a tricycle under me and the brakes squeal like a baby in a microwave. It feels like I'm rolling down a 10% grade over boulders when I'm actually on fresh paved road. Stylin & profilin :icon_smil.

I think Kennedy was the one Chief assigned to me after he left. Either way, pm me with Brown's info. I forgot you were BDCP, I'm sure that does change things.

What the duece Yak? Pro-rec'd same month, same OR, I had MEPS and everything done back this summer, and yet you already have your letter. Breaking my heart.

Nice site! However, as it has been discussed at length in here, the close quarters of a house don't require aim beyond the length of a bedroom or hallway. While the penetration from a distance of 15 yards is pitiful, a 10 foot shot aimed at the face should do all damage I need done. If that...

Thats why I've been saving for a Taurus Judge. Something I can grab easily from under the mattress. The 2.5" barrel version loads a .410 (and .45 colt ammo) shell and throws a wide spread for such a short distance. I'd get 5 shots with the rapid fire of a revolver coupled with the punch of a...

And once again, my foot finds its way to my mouth! Damn. Thanks for enlightening me though.

Yes I was. I thought IP was a satellite/sub-community of IW in the IDC now??

Yeah I'll be in the community he needs to fix so bad... Smug little sasquatch. I hope the MEPS doctors use the whole fist. Maybe they'll find his head up there. Mother of God.

Oh to be a candio when he walks in the first day.

My blood pressure shot up today when I saw he got accepted after all. God help us.

It's heartbreaking really. It's been on my mind from the time I got up. It's always been a day I remembered, but this year is personal. This is my Navy. The men & women who died today, 68 years ago, are a part of my heritage now. Thats humbling.

Amen, exactly the point I was trying to make earlier.

I wasn't serious about you hating woman. I know your "kind" and see eye to eye more than you think. I just don't want to agree myself out of a job. Btw, your wife is hot. Is she blind?;)

I was certainly taught to respect my elders ;)...but I just had to be that cold wet blanket all over his woman hating comments. Now I sit & wait for the inevitable negative repping to hit me...

God knows I don't want to step on your toes...but I might. Holy shit, there are plenty of roles women play and play well in combat/deployable units. As an IWO-to-be do you think my lack of a large sweaty nutsack will impare my brain to operate a computer? Type up a brief? I do agree that...

Touche'....in my redneck town, we commonly use 'gullet' to refer to the insides of a person. Either way, it doesn't get there by itself. ;)

That is a moral/self esteem/discipline failure on the part of those female sailors. Are they unique? Hardly. It's easy to hand the blame off to the girls who come back knocked up on deployment, but the sperm in their gullet didn't get there by itself. Instincts be damned. People have the...

Well said. Those photos are good finds to make your point. However, the photo everyone is pissed off about isn't a slight tilt foward, its a full blown bend. Hopefully next time he will get it right.

Zip, I'm not an old timer but I was taught this too. He is not the King of the US, he is our elected representative. He'd do well to convey the spirit of his people rather than set a false pretense to the leaders and peoples of another nation.

The emperor did not bow back.

Its just not done. Not in all our years as a nation has one of our presidents bowed, even for respects sake, to another head of state. It's not meant to be culturally indignant or defiant, but representative that we are a nation of equals, bowing to no man. He's already done this once to a...

Bro, if you type that into the search bar you can answer that question for yourself pretty quickly.

I had a feeling...I'll have to start literally sucking it up now I suppose. Thanks man
