    "THE WORD" at tbs right now about API

    Lt underground around here at TBS is that they are giving the option to Marine Air Lt's to either leave the Marine Corps are do some other stuff such as go to IOC, deploy or do something else after TBS due to the long wait. The wait after TBS is getting pretty (long 10-12 months for API), but I...

    204 canceling ground contracts?

    All they are doing is pushing back back current slots to next OCC dates. They met their numbers last year and surpassed what was expected.

    Naval Aviation

    Do not wait until you waste your time re-taking those courses that you finally decide to apply. You have a good foundation, so I would encourage you to speak with an officer recruiter now. The waiting game now is really long so the quicker you apply for a 2011 spot, the better off you will be...

    OCC 203- Who's in?

    Anyone hear the latest rumors on how the new CO is running the show? I know a new CO just stepped on deck. The previous CO wasn't big on killing us PT wise, but Col. Chase would PT your ass back home. I am sure many of you have heard stories...

    VID/Article on Marine OCS

    The CO at the time was a solid leader while still maintaining his obligation to run a successful program that screens and evaluates. I'll say this; every Marine OC that was under his command will carry a bit of his leadership style into the fleet and long into their careers.

    VID/Article on Marine OCS

    Swanee, Never mind. I thought you meant the nasty camera crew that was running around during the summer of 2008. I just saw that you meant winter. That summer video is floating around on facebook somewhere. PM if you want it.

    What happens when flight physical expires?

    Box, you'll be fine. Are you sure that is the date it expires? It is not one year from the date you took the physical, but rather when it was approved. I was wondering the same thing, but mine was approved 5 months after I took my physical, therefore it was good to go for a year and a five...

    F-35B arrives at Pax

    According to the Aviation plan they only mention the B variant. Is the USMC solely sticking with the "B" variant or will they also contract the "C" variants as well to replace the Hornet squadrons in the future?

    So who can tell me....about OCS, TBS and tattoos?

    I was the first to reply to your question with a site that provides you with a good understanding of the The Basic School and MOS(s)! Go invest your time there.

    Executive Order - No Texting while driving...

    For one, I believe no one should be "texting while driving." As a motorcycle rider, there is nothing more that gets my blood boiling than seeing a driver doing the "head bob" trying to write a damn text. They have no clue half of the time that I am even riding next to them. Thankfully it is a...

    Back when SF Fleet Week was cool

    I bet not too many of you have seen a cat shot, ((from this vantage point)). I'll never forget the SF Fleet Week a couple years back when CVN-?? launched 4 hornets off in the San Francisco Bay. Check out this picture..

    Nas Alameda pic

    For those who haven't got a clue on what NAS Alameda was all about. Alameda is now home to the USS Hornet, but was also home to the Vinson and experimental ships like the Sea Shadow.

    Nas Alameda pic

    You bring up an interesting point. While the air station was open there was much support for the Navy being in the Bay Area. Up until around 1999-2000 a ship full of softies took over the Bay Area and have made it "soft". Catch my drift....

    What happens when flight physical expires?

    I was one of the lucky few to get my paperwork back in a reasonable amount of time. I know others that have waited almost a year and eventually commissioned as air contracts. In the end it is all worth the wait. Don't cry about it.

    Nas Alameda pic

    For those that knew the surrounding area at NAS Alameda; you all remember how industrial the place was. Train yards everywhere, sea containers, slums, etc... This picture pretty much illustrates that. Fortunately, the air station was also surrounded by the most incredible views. To the west was...

    exception to poolicy waiver

    I thought you can wear glasses now when you fly. You have correctable so you should be good to go correct? I've been granted permitted to wear glasses.

    PLC program

    What station did you speak with? Anyways it is a legit program. It is a lot more work than it sounds, but as you keep checking off the list of requirements you can obtain a contract. Then begins the fun in Quantico. Research as much as you can. Good luck.

    So have any of you seen the 2010 TBS dates? I doubt that they are out yet, but I am hoping they have a January class. This year, the first class date was in March.

    Mindset for OCS

    Just remember to always maintain your confidence. If you go in there with a fragile mindset it will show. Know your strengths and know how to use them. Know your weaknesses and ask your prior peers questions. But remember your being evaluated, so shine with what your good at and don't let your...
