    CVN 70 F-35 ramp strike mishap report

    Configuration is 2 internal aux tanks. In the past this hasn't really been a thing that the community has done. HSC-4 (HSC on the CVN70) was practicing a new procedure to assist in SAR coverage for MARSTRKs (long range plane guard if you will) so double bubble was a common practice. The day...

    sTUPID qUESTIONS aBOUT ocs

    If you study the big five before going you will be well ahead of most people in your class. The best piece of advice is one that gets passed around a lot but take it day by day Sunday to Sunday. The days will seem long but the weeks will go quick, remember that it isn't going to last forever.

    SNA and Depth Perception

    Like many of you, I also failed the depth perception at meps and was informed by my recruiter that I would be unable to apply for SNA. I asked him if I was able to get a second opinion from a civilian eye doctor after reading this thread and he was persistent in saying no and that I had to pass...

    Rotate your compass so that whatever way you are going, say East, you would have the East arrow pointing towards the ceiling. If you're going South, you rotate it so the South arrow is pointing towards your ceiling.

    Would you guys recommend to try and guess and finish all of the questions done or maybe spend a little longer on a question and really try to get the right answer? Also, are there are apps you guys downloaded to use to study?
