Ya that was the first thing I checked, but I haven't picked up a pub in a long time. Now back to my beer.

Friend works ATC in Texas, just posted this to his FB wall figured it was relevant. Not sure if photo shopped or not as he has done stuff before and google did not turn anything up.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

Good if you want to lat transfer, bad if you want to stay active. It's the exact same board I went to. The other problem is they are moving people into these communities and sending them reserves without the active time to complete the PQS for their designator. At the stash job I have now I...

I didn't fail 3 times in a row, it was three failures overall. All were in different blocks of training.

It has been a long time since I have posted so I figured I would throw in a little back story first. After making it through primary with no problems, and making it through the majority of intermediate I popped under the three failure policy in November. Final decision made in January to...

10 minutes to work... awesome. 20-30 minutes anywhere else... not so awesome, but I spend more time on base than off base so that extra bit of sleep pays off.

I was at the Miramar Airshow last year, that was money when the 747 flew by. I was out getting concessions.... "wtf was that a 747?" 2nd pass... "holy shit that is a 747."

My buddy is stashed there, perhaps he can enlighten the OP with a swift kick to the nuts.

I agree, I love the hill country. Having spent a good part of my life as a Navy brat in San Diego I went kicking and screaming to Texas when my dad retired, but the hill country changed my mind.

Considering spyguy is from Wisconsin, I don't think he is complaining.

Plebe year fleet week: Awesome Soph: Out to sea Jr: Went home... DOH! Sr: Mando study and muster for license. Instead it was 40's in the park... weak. Fleet week in NYC is no joke.

That would be their demo for the National Flight Academy which they are building. http://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/Education/National-Flight-Academy.aspx

Is that a new part of the test, or did you want to try that on your own?:icon_smil

Ah yes, the "Time Management" class required before classing up for IFS, which really meant go play lab rat for NOMI. It was hilarious looking around the room during the last portion of the test. Imagine a room full of ensigns with headphones on, staring at a computer screen, stick and...

The "You never know" speech was excellent. My dad went to SWOS with him and crossed career paths down the road a few times, and had nothing but good things to say about Admiral Stavridis.

Is anyone else going to this? I will be serving as a potted plant tomorrow, but I don't mind I wanted to listen to some of the lectures, plus it's another excuse to eat a Cubi Dog. http://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/getdoc/090bd195-e18d-43ab-b3ea-88262ed8aa90/Symposium-07.aspx

You mean the guy who runs around half naked waving the flag here in Pcola? Yes he is.

Nah, they are good for currents, winds, and if your radar is broke dick, but I digress. I never understood the heartburn associated with moboards... they are easy.

I will agree to this, but same situation as otto.

Says the person in C-Pool.

Dice.... Anyone know any decent brand dice cups? I am really disappointed by the fact there is a lack of dice playing in the O'Club, yet that damn table shuffleboard is always full.... I was thinking of going with this...

Ya, Rufio sent that to me, I wouldn't have guessed it either.

First day of one of my API classes after the instructor is done ridiculing Navy "We have any of THEE Ohio State people in here?" ...Silence... "Good, those guys are fucking annoying"

Also work great while taking a shit in the dark.

I love my 229 with night sights.

Link does not work anymore.... flooded by hits?

How about relief tubes and a P-3 style can to poop in? User of shitter required to buy rounds. Hey with all the practice driving ambulances, you shouldn't have a problem.

I attended the sim and brief they had at the O'Club a couple weeks back. The plan is to initially have all training occur at Eglin, and over time move the squadrons to where the Navy and Marines normally train.

spyguy might argue with that as he is a their dedicated groupie... note the "From" napkin at the bottom of the last pic. I figured the toast eating would have cost me more, but the dollar was worth it, he is also a legend to the people at the waffle house we frequent... 25 scrambled eggs.

5 years later. An update: I really don't know where to begin on this one so I will just start typing. The short of it. I chose to be a deckie (ship driver), had an awesome sea year, school is something I would never want to go through again, awesome senior year got picked up for SNA...

The green beer at the club is bud light.... and tastes like water

I think he sits too close to the Marines during the day. :)

At least IFS isn't set up like the AF IFS, but that is why we are in the Navy and not the AF. My roomate who went to AF IFS: Run like their UPT: Live in giant warehouse in middle of nowhere Colorado plus institutional food to go with it, have to stay in study spaces for 12 hours, random...

I had a T-6 fill up a large portion of my windscreen at Bay Minette. T-6 crossed from the upwind across the runway, closer to the school end, and onto the downwind where I was, passing right over top of me. I knew he was coming into the pattern, but I did not expect that.

Stashing at a Fleet Squadron This is aimed more at people who are graduating soon or have a large enough wait time down here to get TAD. As a preface, you can get a good deal if you are willing to do the leg work for it, are willing to be the SLJO, and are not a douche and ruin it for people...

This followed me home last month.

I had to do a double take after taxing by it when I managed to get a ride in one of their T-34s.

Good food. Good meat. Good God lets eat.

Dr. Weird knows what he is talking about...

GPS is nothing but one tool on the bridge and should NEVER EVER be used as a primary means of navigation. When navigating in confined waters, GPS should be used as a backup and as a secondary tool. The navigation team needs to be taking visual fixes, soundings, radar fixes, and then using...

Flirtini and Guns sounds like a good plan to me.

Mucho thanks for the gouge. FO training was still a bit of a mystery to me.

Haha... blimp folder. My buddy in San Diego was able to use that on a blonde... she must have been an especially bright one. Coronado zipper driver also works. And congrats to both Drob and JAC

To the OP, get the ball rolling with what others have said. Also try searching around google/internet for standards. And to continue the threadjack yes our apartment is cursed....

Oh I'm not scared. I've met phrog before so it would be easy for him to track me down if I didn't go. I was a regular at the I-bar in SD. It was great being a stash Ensign in San Diego. Awesome sea stories and a great way to get info on different communities. Its also fun beating the...

<---has a slight feeling if he doesn't show up to the club tomorrow he will be found and shit upon.

As with most things... timing... I waited 5 weeks to class up for IFS... other people in my IFS class have been here about a week. If you have to wait enjoy the time off, I know I did.

The stunt with the biplane and helicopter was impressive. I thought it was game over when they started talking about a puncture in the wing. Great timing with the camera.

Oil tanker hijacked http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7734733.stm 450 miles offshore and a ULCC... This is getting ridiculous. That far out I doubt the ship even had its security measures in place, which for merchant ships are very minimal...as in lock the doors. Being a tanker it's...
