    Lefties that make a neat briefing board

    Some IPs (in primary) allow the white board to be typed out on a std 11x8 sheet of paper. It looks neat and allows you to take debrief notes on the back.

    Thank you for the input. I didn't know if there might be a rule that does not allow any students to engage in dangerous activities. Obviously, injury is a huge risk. I am contemplating on selling my motorcycle for that very reason. I've fought this much to get here, hate to ruin all of it now.

    What is allowed and what is not allowed while completing the pilot training and further on? Are students (with PPL) allowed to rent and fly aircraft on their spare time? I've also skydived before, can that still be done? Thanks!

    You will get it. Try to make sense of them, read in phases and think of what it means. I recite the app B info while I drive, any study time I get helps.

    The Navy Loge is now booked, but I was able to get a room for a couple of nights at the Navy Gateway Inn. For anyone who is still looking for a room, they are still vacant for that weekend.

    I am memorizing most of the App B, mainly the big three and ranks. What helps me a lot, and one other member here suggested, is to write it all out.

    Correct, I got that part. But more in terms of, are there any "hidden" age restrictions. I had a colleague of mine say that his son, applied Air Force also 26, went through flight school, finished but got rerouted for something else because he was "too old". I don't really buy it but made me...

    Stupid Questions about Naval Aviation (Part 3)

    Wasn't sure where to ask this. Is age an issue in naval aviation? I just turned 26, awaiting my FINSEL for ocs. Got pro y as sna, is there a limiting age for any type of airframe? I'll probably be 28 by the time I'm done with flight school. Thanks

    Fairly local, yes, within 35 mile radius. That's a very good point about not having help in FL once we arrive. My wife and I have discussed this, when I mentioned planning and packing ahead, I intended to say that we would pack as much as we could before I head out to OCS. She is very...

    It seems like a handful of information to know verbatim. I was told that the entire thing is part of your RLP inspection knowledge. Getting past the big 3 and ranks is taking some time.

    I scoped out the site and found the weight allowance for O-1 with dependents is 12k pounds. If I move my own stuff using Uhaul or similar moving service, would I get reimbursed based on weight, given I don't exceed the limit?

    Any leads on where I can find out more on this? I rather not have a storage unit, I'll be pulling both of us on my salary while in Pensacola, unless my wife can find somewhere to work. You would think an MBA grad can find a job easily, not so much.

    I'd like to keep it as pain less as possible. We are in fact downsizing the amount of furniture and house related items we keep. Speaking of moves, does the big Navy pay for or reimburse any of the moves? Including the initial move to FL?

    Thanks for replying. I am already selling a lot of my non-essential belongings. My wife and I think it would be better to get an apartment, two bed room, so we have a decent amenities on site.
