    FYI: FY09 Transition/Conversion/Field Accession Boards

    Question I cant find the answer to. On my way out, I was told it was possible for attrites to go back to flight school. Yes I have read the above, I am trying to account for the disparity. Is it just a seastory, or is there any truth?

    CA state official false Medal of Honor claim defended as Freedom of Speech

    I think as far as the law is concerned, he should get away with it. Freedom of speech is not for popular speech, it is for all speech (that does not directly lead to violence etc...) I also believe he should get the shit kicked out of him, just not by the court.

    The Great Universal Health Care Debate w/Poll (note: it just passed both houses)

    Exactly, the rest of the paragraph explains: Prices for brand-name prescription drugs are 35 to 55 percent lower in other industrialized countries than in the United States.2 The central reason for these price differentials is that Canada and most European countries (13 of the 15 countries...

    The Great Universal Health Care Debate w/Poll (note: it just passed both houses)

    Imagine the much higher cost of regulating prescription drugs. No one will be willing to make them in the future. A very small percentage of drugs make it to the market. Who's going to pay for the ones that failed to make it? I would support a system of military healthcare for all...

    Wachovia 25K grant bogus?

    OK so I closed on my place..... I ended up going with wachovia, and the 25k grant is not bogus. I have 25K equity on paper paid for by wachovia on closing. The interest rate was higher, which is the drawback, but no penalty for refinancing, which I shall do within the year. There is an...

    I'd give it to you, but i have other pics, grainy when zoomed in, you can see what looks like the floats. So while I cant say for certain, I dont think its a C130.

    Wachovia 25K grant bogus?

    No link, but a contact at Wachovia, if you want contact info PM me. You have a point, that due to the interest rate, it is effectively a loan, with the exception of the ability of paying down points to the market rate, or better, or refinancing in a short time with the additional closing cost...

    Wachovia 25K grant bogus?

    All, This looks like a real deal it is from Wachovia (only in california). I will let everyone know how it goes. It is a down payment assistance. as far as a catch, it is at a high interest rate, about 1.5% above prime. This is more than 25K over 30 years, however there is no prepayment...

    California Fires

    I flew in last night, commercial flight. Flying over the fires the turbulence was the worst I have ever experenced. Was about 5k feet into SAN. I thought it was a fun ride, the cabin applauded the pilots on landing (landing was uneventful) Hope everyone is ok.

    I’m buying a condo outside of Pendleton, and my former Marine realtor told me about a Wachovia grant for a down payment. Apparently Wachovia bought out World Savings, IOT gain market share on the west coast, and whizbang somehow due to the nature of the buyout they have such a program...

    Questions about TBS/IFS

    I remember hearing underarmor is not permitted for Marines, has to do with the fact that if it catches fire it shrinks and melts, unlike natural products. I believe the reg took effect while I was at TBS, but I cant find the reg.
