what are those rods on either side of the seat?

"should all engines fail, a safe autorotational landing probably can be made....." probably, maybe, who knows.

HM squadrons have a decent gee dunk. 14 more than 12. not sure about 15. Most MA's ive met on squadron orders did not enjoy their time there. half the time they wernt even utilized for masts.

trying to go to Marine DI led training after failing out of a different marine DI led training is a bold strategy..... its not like the ever find that little tid bit out....

'21, '22, '23 for 14, then 12, then 15 respectively. push back was given in favor of 2025. but the community isnt going anywhere without a viable replacement for the mission which there isnt.

and im not advocating professional fleet aviators be limited to paper. that obviously would be dumb. im talking about the <100 hr student getting their initial rating.

true but the chart on a tablet gives you an ownship icon overlaid to the plate that, while giving great SA, doesnt provide the same training a paper plate does. i dont advocate always flying by paper. hell yea the fleet should have that tech. My point is, teaching in the HTs should be old...

And i get the "just pick up vectors" argument but it's still nice having confidence of working paper. Even in the t6 glass cockpit you're still not allowed to use the fms until late RI. The first block still reinforces needles

paper charts should always be taught and confidence built from the beginning and periodically refreshed. its a fundemental skill that prevents us from becoming overly reliant on "follow the magenta line". Unplanned imc, multiple afcs failures, in a 53. youre now stab off, in the soup, setting...

thats a nice chart overlay. I'll take "shit the student will never be allowed to use" for 500 Alex

one of these days id like to pick up an aa5 to fly the wife and kids around on trips and what not. teach the kids to fly. only roadblock is convincing the wife thats its a "reasonable" purchase

is that a grummy bear you got there? aa1? aa5?

donate to the naval sea cadets. they desperately need uniforms for the kids

As an ensign, the only thing you can do to set yourself apart from your peers is to NOT do the things that will suddenly make you a civilian. Have fun and enjoy the free time while you have it.

the ones i know who attrited, stopped trying months before they were booted. ive never met an attrite that knew all the knowledges but couldnt get the stick skills. show up prepared and your instructors will do the rest.

That slight change in score wont impress anyone. If you turn down that nfo slot, youll likely end up with nothing. Now go work my radio :)

As a 53 guy, this makes me laugh....

if you get killed during the ejection, who do they send your tie to?

screw that, finish him!!! Dude asked you a legit question about your community and you gave a nonanswer response shitting on pilots. What did you expect him to say? Mockingbird, FOs suck. Come to helicopters on pilot side, you 1000% have the perfect amount of unapologetic fuckery we love...

All aviation communities are selecting O4 at over 100%. were hurting on the pilot side with retention and department heads. So career opportunity is high for you if you just do you job with decent effort. Both hsc and hsm are split in two groups. Those assigned to a carrier air wing and those...

Ditto. Helo pilot here.

Yea, unless you have a super high nss, your input doesnt matter. They may use it as a tool when picking between 2 peeps for 1 slot of something but yea, needs of service reign.

yea the second part of that, the part relating to whirly twirly gumdrops..... yea, not really a thing. i havent been 214 since high school.

even normal people cant ever operate that damn hatch mechanism.

best advice i ever got in relation to flight school.... Be humble, and enjoy every damn minute of it. It the easiest 2 years of your career and you will miss every minute of it when its over. After a shit flight getting worn down by your IP, take a moment to appreciate what youre doing. I...

And ill let you in on a little secret. your future class officers, Drill Instructors, and RDCs have been known to troll this site. Buyer beware.

Good luck to everyone. OCS is the best 12 weeks youll never want to do again but will remember fondly for years.

Rolling isnt the end of the world. Just more time. Been there, done that.....twice.

pretty sure theres a pill for that now is this a peter north reference? now its getting hot in here

relative newbie prior here. went to boot in 2012. OCS in 2015. boot camp was a joke. OCS was immensely more difficult. without question. the marine drill instructors are amazing at what they do and when the lowest rank a RDC can be is a chief, you know theyre the best.

this is your only chance at this. they will not accept you ever again if you turn this down. oh by the way, navy has a great masters program for officers and having "navy war college" as a masters alma mater is pretty baller for post navy gigs. yes you will regret it. masters programs will...

unless things have changed recently, a good "oh by the way" is be prepared to run this on a loose wood chip trail with slight rising and falling terrain with sharp 180 degree turns. That catches alot of people by surprise

no shortage of backwoods fields. just dont PEL into the ones with rusty trailers. them there good ol boys tend to not take kindly to our types round there. you may comeback with an extra ventilation.

i prefer to wear my ceremonial howitzer. i prefer my dress weapon to have a great effective range.

A t34 crew in new orleans begs to differ. Although, another engine wouldnt have prevented that. I never felt unsafe flying the 57 around pensacola but i did brief emergency bridge landings atleast once.

i thought the reward for combat was alcoholism and crippling depression. at least thats what the VA told me.

button pushing itsnt going to save you when the bird shits the bed.

they never understood anything i yelled anyway. i got beat once because of it and the DI disappeared around the building to laugh his ass off after i went super over the top enunciated with repeating "Aye gunnery sergeant" each pushup. like. pauseing between each syllable. point is, theyll...

ATTENTION TO AWARD!!

they key to a solid online dating profile is to make sure everyone knows youre a pilot. that way they cant bitch and complain about how much money you spend flying.

hey now, not all fat bald guys were instructors. but it did get interesting when, as a stud, my onwing was the same age, and several of my IPs were younger than me. and i got called sir and saluted by other studs constantly.

not, we all care when that happens and the officers are charged when needed. the problem we have is people trying to convey that police officers are out to murder innocent people based on skin color. which is asinine. Or trying to build a narrative that its rampant. I can probably count on 1...
