    Year Long Wait for API

    paid i think 75, got me fixed wing commercial/instrument + rotary wing commercial/instrument, definitely an absurd deal considering the massive load of cash to do that the civilian route.

    Year Long Wait for API

    jeez i remember IFS being one of the chillest times of my life especially following TBS, nice little apt in manassas, cool instructor Mr. Schmidtke, lots of lazing around and now to hear people are actually failing out of it or severely struggling.. Just deal with the wait, i really wouldnt do...

    Hopefully this concept remains with DARPA and remains just a concept

    Thank you for pointing that out, thank you DARPA for the internet.

    Hopefully this concept remains with DARPA and remains just a concept

    Instead of flushing money into DARPA for farsighted, never put into production fantasies the Marine Corps could sure use that cheddar for something practical such as accelerating the production and already finished concept of the 53K so us young studs have a chance to fly one in the future

    96's and long weekends at TBS

    You'll get them tho i do remember it being a huge pain in the arse to go out of bounds but any time you get off there is well worth it, so get as far away as you possibly can.

    Monster Marine OCS thread: stupid questions answered here!

    All you guys with 15-17 pullups do yourself a favor and get to 20 once you've made it to 15 there's really no excuse not to pull out that last 5, especially since its worth a good chunk of points for your pft. I was selected for ground and nfo and decided to turn it down and reapply later...

    TBS versus OCS: Similarities and Differences

    Whenever we weren't in the field i got to workout as much as i wanted to, its not hard when the gym is 200yards from obannon. Competitive body builder so lots of supplements? If so, make sure you keep em out of sight during inspections they're technically not allowed. Check that, whey protein is...

    Vehicles at Quantico

    you were absolutely allowed to have cars at OCC and at TBS. In fact my my buddy had a ride throughout occ which allowed us to ACTUALLY leave base one we were let off the leash and venture around virginia and d.c. You most definitely want to have a car by TBS for running errands and just...

    IFS Location

    when i went through they were sending all Marines to manassas unless you had special circumstances requiring you to go to pcola. Manassas was very laid back, there are two schools @ the airport to accomadate everyone and your flying pretty much everyday once you finish ground school. I went...

    Whats the current wait for Primary out of API?

    the wait here in corpus wasn't too bad, for the Marines you were allowed to take leave and then when you were back they'd put you on the list to start up and it was relatively quick 2-3 weeks. We would just muster in the morning at matsg, if they had stuff for us to do we'd stick around...

    thats still competitive make sure you really concentrate on those pullups..those are definitely the money maker!

    Housing for IFS

    Its introductory flight screening, your basically off to one of the local airports either in pcola (navy) or quantico area (Marines) to fly around in a cessna for just under 50 days. Its another screening process used by the Dept. of the Navy before they begin investing a lot of money in you...

    Housing for IFS

    for those of us stuck in VA doing IFS (i have no problem with) and the poor souls doing it through manassas aviation i can't imagine we will be completed before the 50day deadline. Apparently Dulles students were up and flying by day 4 and and have already embarked on their 8th and 9th flights...

    USMC OCS to TBS

    Haha that vortex is definitely something you want to stay out of at least attempt to, i'm always looking for opportunities to fly home and see my family whenever i can and i'm sure he will too. When we graduated the Mike Co. CO explained we basically had 3 choices: Go on leave and go in the...

    hey good info Mr. Blonde, a little heads up i know when i was at OCS TSUALE or whatever was ok along with SALUTE, but at TBS at least with my platoon all orders were written with SALUTE. You can also throw in DRAWD, and an EMPCOA which go under situation and enemy forces. If you want some...

    For bravo i believe there were only 4 slots available with 10 Marines competing. Your overall rank in the company, your astb, medical and other variables will all have bearing on you getting selected. good luck hope that helps

    TBS Differences..

    TBS Differences..

    Tonight we're having our MOS mixer and its really the first time as an air contract i'll actually have an opportunity to ask flight related questions and schmooze with pilots. Other than all your thinking about is combat arms and fire and movement/maneuver.
