This is a target that R2D2 might be able to track and take down!

We are not quite there yet, but perhaps when VT CQ is scaled back or even gone, those are some decisions CAGs and Captains will be making together.

DM me with what questions you have. We were attempting to do a fly in/static display in Corpus as part of the WOST airshow last week but had to cancel it.

In addition to being competitive and timing-sensitive, if you changing your warfare specialty, say from Maritime (P-8) to VFA (F-18) then you will incur another 5 years of obligated service after completion of training. That is to say completion of the FRS in whatever platform you are...

I am hopping in here after reading all of the comments to echo the WTF?!?! sentiment. What are you on about?

I assuming that was a Charlie? The Delta fuel burn is not really helpful, we are 2 legs guaranteed now it seems like.

A single leg! The biggest play I have made is from Dallas to Norfolk in one leg with a zero tailwind.

E-2 NFO at Chambers. The upside is that you get to think you are the shit.

Every single seat Rhino dude/dudette on here just had their brain explode.

DM me. I am here to answer.

I hope there was a strong debrief about CRM after that flight. Was it a 3P, 2P, or CAPC?

There's a joke about O-4/O-5 mouth size and how they achieved that Fitrep in there somewhere.

Yes, this burden being passed to the E-2 RAG is not going to be fun. There have been multiple recent examples (Class A, hook-slaps, etc.) highlighting that an E-2 or C-2 is not a friendly aircraft to muscle aboard the boat. There is only so much defensive posturing/positioning a CAPC in the...

E-2 cannot hook up to Mode 1. Mode 2 through ACLS or Bullseye. And on several of the RAG birds, a Mode 3. We are a little low on parts and money to fix it.

They are actually working on some version of a PLM. Think of more of a PLM light called Improved Landing Mode. The idea will be to use the rudder system for the AR variant with some old fashioned PFM. The jury is still out though.

Wallops is not quite as austere these days so long as you can get off base and into Chincoteague.

He's all GROWED UP! Welcome to the club my dude.

I just finished When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi He is finishing up his residency at Stanford as neurosurgeon when he gets diagnosed with lung cancer. His writing style with multiple references to classical literature while he dissects what is important in life was pretty damn good...

I am 6'3" and fit into the T45 snugly. If you are concerned about your options, during API, you used to be able to get remeasured if you are disqualified on the first measurement. My initial measurement had me anthro'ed only into E-6, P-3, or Helicopters. The second measurement opened the...

Just stop.

This is where Metamucil comes into play. Start your Mucil game about 5 days prior to an underway and you will be regular and efficient. The best part of being on the Mucil was avoiding wiping a ton with the old John Wayne sandpaper TP. 1 wipe to verify it was a Mucil poop, 2 wipes because you...

I was thinking about influencing a new ENS to steal them from the Museum after his Flight Suit Friday at the O Club.

Where does one order a set?

You are acting like a massive douche.

I am in the same boat. However, I took a long hard look at that transition.

It's like trying to ride a tricycle while a monkey beats you with a billy club.

I will echo this. With the Delta transitioning happening, you are expected to delve into the tactics way more than any Charlie dude ever had to. The mindset in the community is rapidly changing from the "bus driver" to the "tactical bus driver" where you are expected to learn tactics and be...

It makes an Airwing very whiney about getting Fair passes.

Eh, I would not be so optimistic.

Definitely agree with the beginning of the instrument stage being where you can definitely make your NSS. Crushing the beginning of that stage is awesome because the MIF was so low (2s on most maneuvers/items) if I recall correctly.

What kind of GSE do they have?

While I can get on board with some double anchor hate, all I have heard/seen from single seat life is misery. Is it not worth having some NFOs to alleviate the burden of ground jobs? Also, they talk on radios...

I believe it is Class A and B as well. Disclaimer: not a safety dude, just a man who had a mishap.

The search function is your friend.

During my time at API, you could request another measurement. I was originally anthro'ed out of the T45, but the second measurement came back anthro'ed into everything but something random like H60B. I am not sure if that is a possibility for you, but make politely ask a few questions (class...

Yes, but not enough to make or break you. In my opinion, API has two main purposes: teaching the Navy style of studying (firehouse of information/rote memorization for the most part) and weeding out those who will not make the cut for various reasons before spending a plethora of money on their...

+1 for the distance to the Dirty Bird.

For what it is worth, the highest level math in my package/transcript was Trigonometry from Junior year of high school so the whole package concept is really what the board be looking for.

The instructor you are talking about retired during my time there and moved down to Alabama (Lilian I think?). His son was a WSO who was killed, but it was a F-111 that went down in the North Sea off England. To your last point, there were several instructors in Kingsville that definitely...

For Navy, you will have a flight physical at OCS in Newport, RI. Then you will have another flight physical when you get down to Pensacola.

Hint:

I went to Cecil once and was intrigued with all the space. I was inbound to Pensacola and got stuck there for Mx issues. Never again.

IPs can live where they want. If not Kingsville, many live on the South Side in Corpus.

Solid save at the end there!

That's how it was done at my command during the most recent PRT cycle we just completed.
