    Question for the Chiefs re: uniforms

    If by "utilities" we are talking the BDUs ( I know they call them utilities) Then it is worn untucked I believe. At least we wore them untucked in ROTC.... The regs are they are worn untucked as far as I know. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Calculus and Two Year Scholarship

    I thought if you were picked up for a 2 year the calc and physics requirements were waived.... perhaps not.

    Zero Tolerance

    I recognize what you are saying. I dunno yea It was stupid, but I know him well enough to know that this stupid mistake does not translate to "I am going to ram my ship into those rocks over there." I am going to relay the message(s) though. Gracias as always gentlemen.

    Zero Tolerance

    I alas, must ask a question. A friend of mine in a different ROTC decided it would be a good idea to smoke marijuana over the summer. keep in mind he has already done his secret clearance and what not last year when he was clean. Now he is regretting it. Since he knows I'm a kindred spirit he...

    What Rumsfeld Got Right - Robert Kaplan

    I have read a bunch of things by Robert Kaplan I don't know how much I like his writing. as far as Rummy is concerned I have read alot of stuff saying he very much tried to control the planning/execution of OIF, instead of leaving that sort of thing to the professionals at CENTCOM and the...

    NROTC Scholarship probability/chances?

    He looks pretty good. However, the thing that matters most is timing, and who else is applying I found. At my unit last year there were kids with way lower SAT scores then me, lower GPAs, less activities and leadership experiences. Who got scholarships. I did not get a 4 year. But I was just...

    NROTC w/o the Scholarship

    Yes we are all the same year as far as I am aware. I was told I did not get the 3 yr because I am not a tech major, cause my grades were better apparently. But thats how it goes.

    NROTC w/o the Scholarship

    I just picked up a scholarship. I did not have a 4 yr. You will do everything that everyone else does. There is no difference between you and someone with a 4 yr scholarship. Good grades are key. Also a letter from the CO with your package doesent hurt. So don't be a sh!tbag, stay out of trouble...

    College Decision Gouge

    I graduated high school in 2007 so I am not too far removed from this sort of question. I in the end decided to do non-military. I felt I was capable of motivating myself to work, so far so good. Also ROTC does provide some encouragement ie. if you are failing classes they will come down on you...

    IW/IW vs INTEL

    Thank you ARKAD very enlightening. I read on a website that the desired majors for selection to IW are computer science and the like, while potential intel officers should have political science, international relations etc. So my question is does this really matter? What are the day to day...

    Pilot's gun discharges in flight

    So does that mean if a bullet were to go through say a window, the plane would fly normally? I assume oxygen masks would deploy though. People would not be sucked out of windows? whole sections of the fuselage would not rip off?... anti climatic. Although I have to say rather pleased that planes...

    Pilot's gun discharges in flight

    /THREAD JACK If someone were to shoot a bullet say at 30,000 ft and it went through a pressurized aircraft would the plane really rip to shreds/crash to the ground? Or is that a movie thing? What would happen if a bullet were to go through the skin at a high altitude like 30k and also lets...

    VMI vs. The Citadel (this thread is for school bashing!)

    ROTC rocks. Granted its not as "hard core" as the military colleges ( I assume) but you get that disipline while getting to be a relativly normal civilian. Way to go in my mind. Wait for those other schools. I am actually trying to transfer to GW. I love ROTC I wouldnt want to have gone anyother...

    ship selection question

    /THREAD JACK/ This is just something I heard, rather read on sailorbob. When the promotions to LCDR/CDR for SWOs came out it was disproportionately in favor of those who spent their first tour on DDGs, CGs. I think 1 FFG guy got picked up for CDR. They were saying that the ship class you do...

    ship selection question

    The way I have been told it happens is... You sit down with your advisor one night. Log onto the computer and basically its like an online draft. You wait for the phone call to come based on your ranking, and then you get to pick a ship on the list. Or so I have been told.

    Intel: Day in the Life

    Sir, Do you have any more information on what your wife/others did to commission Intel? I have gotten the impression that you can apply for anything you want but you won't get it unless you are NPQ. Anything you can add about how they went about doing it would be greatly appreciated.

    Does anyone know of a good place/ website where you can pick up Navy sweats and the like? I'm trying to find something but I'm not too interested in paying $30 for sweatpants. So if anyone knows of anything let me know. Thanks.

    When I did mine I did collared long sleeve shirt, khakis, nice shoes, belt tucked in. Be confident that is important.

    Designating restricted line out of ROTC

    Not my intention in the least. If anything, should I continue with NROTC I plan on going SWO, seeing how I like that and trying and transfer should I still want to. However, I am going to ask my adviser if its possible from the get go. Thanks for your responses. Mike

    Who commands Seabees?
