    The Great, Constantly Changing Picture Gallery

    I'm proud to be in a service that honors those that have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy. Even during a time when the Vietnam War was less than popular, the bond between those that fought together kept the memories of the fallen alive and I'm glad that they get the...

    Cherry Point Airshow 21-23 May

    Then come by and see me, and I'll regale you with tales from the training command and hilarious moments spent in the Quantico highlands, all while passing limited, and probably incorrect information about the Harrier's capabilities. As far as things to do, Wilmington might be a better place to...

    Cherry Point Airshow 21-23 May

    Alright ladies and gents, that time has come! Lets start the roll call. I'll be on the static display of VMAT-203's bird on Sunday morning, so swing on by and I'll give you a little tour of the jet. Hopefully, we will have a regular Harrier, instead of a goofy two-seater...

    The Great, Constantly Changing Picture Gallery

    VMAT-203 just posted some pictures from the most recent Yuma Weapons "Broken Resolution" Det on our website. I'd post them here, but I'm not sure about copyright stuff. There are some pretty cool pics of both T (two-seat) and B (single-seat) -Bird Harriers. Most of the pictures are taken by...

    Congrats man, it's about time! About the NATOPs thing, you can go the NATEC website (just google it) and request access. You'll need your CAC card to log in under your .mil account, but I don't remember what else, it's been a while since I had to jump through the hoops. Enjoy the weather out...

    TBS Before flight physical approval

    How do you already have a flight contract without an approved flight physical? Something smells fishy to me. Usually, you won't be given a contract (unless you're currently under a ground contract and don't know it....) until all your paperwork is approved, and you can't commission (or go to TBS...

    Commissioning soon... Should I buy a house?

    Concur with the above. While in Quantico, our landlords were trying to sell their house and asked us if we wanted to buy it. We toyed with the idea, especially with the fact that there will always be a high TBS turnover. However, the more we thought about it, we really didn't want to buy until...

    Have some Questions..(Marine Aviators)

    You can start initially on a ground contract and switch over to an air slot. That's the road I took, however that was several years ago and the availability of air slots can vary from year to year. I suggest trying to get the air contract, but if you are struggling on the ASTB initially (or the...

    Forced separation for prior-enlisted SNAs

    Study the concepts and when you're in study groups, if you can explain it to someone, you should be fine on the tests. My API class had 4 Marines total, and we would get together all the time (or at a minimum, the night before a test) and go over everything. Some were struggling with the...

    NASP Land Survival just got less awesome?

    That's because he wasn't in his element at Walmart. All this 'civilization' probably makes him cranky. Need to get him in his natural habitat, preferably while rigging a snare, or eating a monkey. I'm sure he's probably use to the 'National Geographic' style approach to photography, just make...

    Rifle and Pistol Qual?

    Things must be different in Kingsville because I just left Meridian about 2 weeks ago and have not heard of anyone doing anything like that.

    Real STOL Studs!

    I'm sure a 30kt wind in the face doesn't hurt either. I have a video of a Piper Super Cub doing this stuff.... I don't have my home computer hooked up, so I'll have to post the videos later, but its impressive nonetheless! Who needs a runway when you can use a small parking lot?!?

    Rifle and Pistol Qual?

    Phoenix1, I don't know if you are a Marine or Navy, or if you are at Kingsville or Meridian, but you are passing bad gouge. I have known a ton of people that have gone through TW-1 and have never heard of anyone going to any rifle/pistol range to qualify (I can't even imagine where there is a KD...

    t-34/t-6 noise pollution

    I'm trying to figure out if this guy thinks the lack of Beta is a good or bad thing? I'm just surprised that the trailers under the Meridian pattern don't register more complaints! The base PAO must be doing wonders because I haven't heard a peep from them! Forget Alpha or Bravo fields, it's...

    Extended Service Contract

    8 years for you?? Kinda sounds like you had the wool pulled over your eyes. Might wanna check again, and put down the beer this time! :D It's been a while since I've thumbed through that thing. I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

    Extended Service Contract

    You're the man! Hopefully that will be enough to ensure my loan goes through. I wouldn't be surprised if they asked for a document signed in blood stating that I intend to honor this commitment.

    Extended Service Contract

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if there is a MARADMIN or MCO somewhere that states the extended eight year service commitment for a fixed-wing aviator. I need to show proof to my mortgage lender that my current commitment does not end next October. My current command says it will update once I...

    Time Frame TBS to Fleet.

    If you end up going to Meridian, there are two Jack D's to watch out for. Only one will be an enjoyable experience. :D

    Kinda funny how they already have an F-35 on display before it even hits the fleet.

    Yep. From what I have been told, there are only four to a class. As of right now, we have four guys from Meridian and one from Kingsville slated to start on the 7th, so someone is gonna get bumped.

    USMC FY10 Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP)

    This obviously doesn't apply to me yet, but since you posted it, I thought I should ask. Does this mean that I would need to be finished with my original contract date (pre-wings), or the revised 8-year fixed-wing obligation to be eligible? My contract before wings had put my EAS (according...

    MCMAP Mandatory Training Mega Thread

    Well that's a change in Marine Corps thinking... do something that actually makes sense! I wish I would have been able to work on my Gray instead of going through the motions of Tan training.

    MCMAP Mandatory Training Mega Thread

    Unless you plan on instructing at TBS, it isn't worth getting your belt before you go, since EVERYONE has to go through Tan (maybe Gray now too?). The students that had Green Instructor and higher assisted the MACE with teaching, but still had to put in the time.

    On a somewhat similar request, does anyone know when the EAS is changed to reflect the contract obligation after getting winged? Currently, I have a date of 11 Oct 2010 (three years after my TBS grad) and with a winging date of 28 Aug 09, my EAS should be around 28 Aug 2017. The reason I ask is...
