pat, now they are accelerating people cause i just got put in the program last week. but it does vary from onwing to onwing, and the performance of the student like all the other vt's. later jonathan

yea it sucks at times, when i was at riddle in daytona there was a midair. THAT really hit home considering one plane (piper seminole) had my instructor in it doing a checkride with my best friends roomate. anyways, four dead, there was 2 others in the other aircraft too, one checkpilot and...

so you are saying that BOTH guys in the Canadian Force made a site to chat with each other? kidding jgm

hahhahahahaah. hey i wasn't about in tears, i just needed you to fold those damn sweats, i just couldn't do it! You were the best folder pat, i guess after 4 rlps's you sort of understand what they are looking for. :) my name is kid doogie (now that WAS funny as crap, i was almost pissing my...

not too bad though, i can still go from the apartments on the island to base in ten min. i have never seen the construction really slow anybody down, except on a holiday weekend when EVERYBODY is coming out here. Couple of nice apartments, Beach club (island)....Arbors at Saratoga, Baypoint...

yea, not all of us get the pleasure of being in OCS 25+ weeks. hmm hmm cough cough... PAT!

Dave, CONGRATS man. it is always fun to see people that have been on this site from the very beginning do great and get what they want. good job. jonathan

for anybody know comes across the initial problem that I talked about in this forum, i got it fixed, the disk that the wing gave me was bad. Awesome. back to talking about jets......maybe I can change the topic to "Jets Q&A with Pappy" kidding pap. Jonathan

yea pap, i hear ya. but we all know how lazy we get when driving down to the wing 10 minutes seems just way to much of an inconvience (nice life were used to). I know none of that stuff helps you with feel for the plane, just procedure stuff was what i was going to use it for. not much time...

hey guys, quick question. i just bought flight sim 2002 and I got that disk for the t-34 microsim checked out from Mr. Alexander this weekend. after installing them both, i can get the programs to run, but when i try to fly using the microsim (T-34), it closes and says the weather file is...

hey john, finally moving on ;) SNA in Primary (Corpus)

yeah, 500 side stradle hops don't sound fun in boxers.

Hey Varun Long time no talk. AWEESSOOMMEE! just what we talked about on here before either of us went to OCS. Im so happy for you. I am in week 4 api right now, corpus bound in two weeks. way to go. Jonathan

I will admit that there is lots of talk about the new CO for NASC. The word is he is strictly by the book, and doesn't take bull@$%t. The new word is after 3 pink sheets you are SERIOUSLY, if not automatic, facing attrition from the program. The PRT should be the least of your worries, that...

OCS test are made so you can pass. The instructors do such good reviews the day before the tests. DO not hassle yourself and try to study for these tests before going to OCS. You will have to study, but study the review your specific instructor gives. the ONLY way to get ahead and this is if...

SNA API

yea thanks mari, im a bright one.

Hey guys, The wait is over, leaving for pcola in the morning. Thanks for all the good info over the past year. Will check in time to time to give updates. Jonathan

damn that sucks!

I so yes and no. To learn how to fly? no. But certain aspecs, like learning instruments, learning how to shoot a vor, ndb approach, ils, those kind of things, learning how they function, learning to hold, I say they would be good for representation before you go in the air to do them for the...

Daytona sucks, mostly knee to waist waves, a little more south i.e. sebastian inlet, or ponce inlet you get an average of chest high and an occasional head high wave. down by key west.....................wait a minute...................with all that booze and beautiful scenery, just sit on...

My recruiter called me at 7am, only 6 days after my package was submitted to tell me I was accepted for SNA and OCS date. I got the written notification about two weeks later in the mail. Jonathan

hey john, selected for sna, or sna at ocs since i leave in a week, whatever you want. Jonathan

haha, LOTS different. All my first class civilian aero exams I have gotten were a brief eye exam, check hearing, a hit on the knee for reflexes, and answering to yes if i am in good health. flight exams include blood work, extensive eye exams (i.e. depth perception, visual acuity, I think they...

great info guys, thanks. .....sure beats my 6% on student loan payments. With regards to dave's comment about the 18k at 1.75%, i take it that is for automobiles from navy federal? If so, im wondering if it is possible to get that 18k @ 1.75 for auto, and that other newly commissioned officer...

hey all, couple questions. Do they give you time to take care of your personal bills at ocs or do they give you online access to pay credit card/electric/phone bills online while your there at all, or should I arrange a friend/parent to take care of my payments. Second, I know at ocs you have...

hey all, since ocs is only three weeks away I figured I better look at the memorization stuff ;) ... Can anbody, (pat, pap, fallon, hartman, etc.) who has recently gone through ocs give me a run through of the current names on the Chain of Command. It would be much appreciated. The new...

im there on the 25th, sna designation.

crap, i used to be an advanced member, now im back down to junior member, guess john saw my post about kicking ocs for a girl ;) jonathan

i waited 6 days until i heard. lucky i guess. jonathan

whats up webb, good to hear from ya. ya, i rarely check the site anymore, just waiting my time, down to 3.5 months till ocs. ill be damned though. all this sitting around working at the bar w/ all this freetime, i found a girlfriend and we are pretty serious. i want her to come w/ me after...

hey meb, i report jan 25th 2003 w/ sna slot. i will be coming from san antonio. Jonathan

hey thanks guys, I know that it is bullshit. especially since its on a Wed morning, a weekday. maybe if it were on a day like sunday where everybody is off i would understand, but from 0730 to 0830-45ish on wed, people fricking work. still need documentation to walk in with ;) Jonathan

he is an officer, LTJG. I found nothing in the enlistment contract that says anything about not having to conform to physical standards. I thought you just show up to OCS in shape and you are responsible to get yourself physically fit. Isnt responsibliity on of the militarys core values...

Hey guys, Long time no see for awhile. got a question. I have talked before about how my recruiter makes us (people waiting for OCS) do PT w/ him one day a week. It just so happens that I work at a nightclub and get off of a 12 hr shift about four hours before i have to be there for PT, then...

my recruiter said that i could find the chain of command w/ the actual names filled in somewhere on the web. anybody got the address? granted the first few names will be different for everybody, I just wanted the biggies. Thanks Jonathan

I'm a recent DB campus, Aero Sci graduate. Feel free to email any questions/concerns @ vballindaytona@msn.com or vballindaytona9 on AOL instant messenger ;) Jonathan

Hey guys, anybody w/ the same date as I? If so, what for.......flight, supply, nfo? Hi to Mari, Michael, Dawg, Pap, Pat ...everybody i haven't talked to in a while. Got a girl and a job to help pass the time ;) Hope everybodys career is going well. Jonathan

I don't know much about the switch to pilot later down the road. But I believe the S-3 has dual flight controls, and I also remember discussing earlier that if you go get your civilian ratings you could log the right seat time if you were an NFO. I don't know much about the S-3, so I may stand...

hey aimee, i report Jan 25th w/ pilot slot. Jonathan

yea pat, if you got your slot already your set. I hear ya michael, but until jan i got a job working security/bouncer at a bar. its great, listen to live music, flirt w/ beautiful women, ...my first real knock off job ever. its fun, although somewhat depressing. seeing the waitresses and...

my bad, hit the wrong key. yes it was a citation v. notice my post was at 0500 ;) Jonathan

hey guys, my recruiter told me that the 2.0 min standard gpa is no longer. applicants now must have a 2.5gpa to send an application to Tenn. He even had two packets ready to send off and couldn't because the GPA was only 2.3 and 2.2. Just a little info for yall on the "making my package"...

thanks guys. im out of my bitchin and whinning phase. ;) (i think) Jonathan

guys, thanks for the attempt to motivate me ;) one question for anybody who knows the answer. My recruiter holds pt on wed mornings from like 8-10am, and although its not mandatory, is mandatory for him. I have two jobs and work 65 hrs a week, one being security at a bar and don't get off...

Hey everybody, Long time no talk. This is why I am writting. Since getting my Jan 2003 date I have become very sidetracked. I was so disappointed by the 9 month wait that I have lost interest, well not lost interest, but am not as motivated as I was a month ago. Like I have said before my...
