    The return of barefoot running....now with Five Fingers!

    Balogna. I'm the OIC for a reserve mobilization, and for the past 5 months sending guys to schools, and the coming 4 months we'll be on active duty before we deploy, I'm using an execution matrix vice an LOI. Of course, I still have a shit ton of ORMs to do, including wiping my ass.

    You have an LOI for a formation run?

    Website: what the heck happened today?

    You mean to tell me the day job is going to take priority? Which one is more likely to provide you a solid revenue stream for the rest of your life? Actually, that's a darn good question to figure out.

    Air Contract - High ASTB / Low PRT

    Are you near a college with an NROTC unit that you could work out with the Marines there? There's a difference between going to the gym and working out or going for a run, and getting the shit kicked out of you for an hour an a half 4-5 days a week by somebody who knows what they are doing.

    Naval Aviator Help Needed

    Since you've known about this changeover for some time now, thanks for the heads up that we went from a resolution of smaller than 200x200 to larger than that. No biggie, I'll fix it. And I'm at least smart enough to wait until I'm done climbing out of a Phrog you're flying next month to...

    What's my chances of getting the NROTC scholarship?

    Perhaps I'm biased, but I think being an Eagle Scout still matters, particularly to those who know what it takes to become one. I put it on every application for college/scholarships, and still have it on my resume.

    Air Contract - High ASTB / Low PRT

    What year of college are you in? Unless you just graduated, you always have another year to apply again with a stronger package. At your age, actually pretty much any age, if you no kidding work out for an hour a day for 4-5 times a week you will be in the 275-285+ in about 3 months.

    DSN Morale Lines

    I was just overseas last month myself and was using that same list. It sucks, most of the numbers I tried I got no answer. Ended up calling the command I work for and having a buddy connect me. I have an old gouge card, so not sure if this works, but base ops at Oceana was 433-2162 and...

    The return of barefoot running....now with Five Fingers!

    Wow, that's awesome! Let's ruin your knees and then pay you 20% disability the rest of your life just because the shoes you like (and which won't ruin your knees) don't fit in with the status quo established 30 years ago. I agree. Supremely retarded.

    Real Estate Investing for Retirement

    Marines aim to avoid postwar identity crisis

    As you look at missions like theater security cooperation, the MEU is your best bang for the buck. We can go into any given area and do a training exercise, a real world humanitarian mission, and it works both to enable the country we are working with to better provide their own security and...

    commercial pilot shortage coming?

    I'm not buying into it. 4 years ago when I was looking at getting out and looking around at places like airlinepilotcentral.com there was a lot of hype about a pending pilot shortage. Then they passed the law extending mandatory retirements to 65 (was 60). Supposedly now that we are coming up...

    Gates gone -- Panetta at DOD, Patraeus to CIA

    I'm not all that thrilled. Of course, I'm not thrilled about $4 a gallon gas either. Not much I can do about either one. We can bitch and moan about it, but won't change anything.

    New PRT?

    Agreed. (Wait, does that make me a moron too?) The best training for a PFT run is not running the same 3 mile course over and over again. Do some interval training several times a week at shorter distances (1/4 - 1/2 mile - 1 mile) running at a faster pace (than your current PFT time)...

    New PRT?

    Great post ^ If I can get a 300 on the CFT, you know its not that hard of a test. I actually have to put some effort in to get better than a 250 on the PFT.

    NROTC expectations and becoming a Naval Aviator

    About a decade ago, MAG-31 had a CO who was polish, Callsign was Otter. Then the squadron I was in got a JO who was also Polish (I think he actually checked in about a week or two before me), and since he immigrated when he was 13 he was still fluent, and upon being asked, replied that the...

    Over? Over.

    Regardless of Phrog's post, about as much sense as letting guys go all of 90 days early really saves money. Cut a guy loose at 5-6 years and you save what, 15-20 grand?

    Flying with Trigeminal Neuralgia

    Bullshit. I have sleep apnea, and suspect I've had it for most of my adult life. A friend was discussing his diagnosis with it, and my wife said, "yeah, that sounds like exactly like what you do." I asked a flight surgeon about it and he told me "um yeah, I'm sure you don't have it." A...

    Hey, I'm sitting next to you, I said it out loud before I typed it, and at that point I figured it was a race for me to quote you before you edited it. In my haste, I did mispell it. My bad. My mistake was one of haste, I believe you actually thought there were 2 f's in the word.

    Told this story at work today, figured I'd share for the masses. Circa Aug 2005 I was at Hurlburt Field for the HAVEACE program for training on the AC-130 CFF procedures (was doing CFF on the range). Since I was a pilot, they invited me to fly with the AC-130 one night. We were doing some...
