    Office Chair - Made From F-4 Ejection Seat

    There is no way I could ever get comfortable in that chair. Every 2 minutes or so, I would freak out because my upper kochs and chute risers weren't attached.

    The End of the Officers Club

    This is my biggest gripe. I tried "bringing back the o club" with a few of my 1stLT buddies when I got here, but it fizzled out. Everyone got wind of PMO busting people and ruining thier careers if they blew a 0.01 BAC. I'm not gonna put up PMO's BS. My buddies have all but taken over a...

    Commissioning Loans?

    I took out the USAA 25K loan when I comissioned back in 05. It was great for paying off debt, but man..... I'm abouut to pin on captain and I'm still paying on that damn loan! Don't take it unless you really need it. I'm still paying $440/mo and I have nothing to show for it.

    MCAS Cherry Point Air Show

    The privatley owned sea harrier was knucking futs. He raged alot more than the -542 demo. Of course, he had less rules to worry about. At the end of his demo, he decel'd to a hover over the runway, stayed there for a minute, then threw the nozzles to full breaking stop and did a massive bow. He...

    What car is your plane...

    not a bit. It seems like a pretty schweet airplane so far. ouch dude. Low blow. I picked a camaro because it's the fatter, slower little brother to the vette, but still a killer at the racetrack. Likewise for harriers and hornets, right?

    AV-8B Harrier When you can't afford a Corvette, you get a camaro. WHen A Marine doesn't get Hornets, he gets Harriers.

    Is this the end ?

    I probably had more tickets than you in a similar time frame. BUT..... I paid them on time, or fought them in court, or requested a payment extension from the judge, which was ALWAYS granted. It's a little late now for you, but you need to handle your fuck-ups in a more responsible way.

    Harrier gouge? (Bonus: Best/worst USMC base discussion)

    I'm here. What a phabulous place. All my rental agreements broke down, so I decided to buy a house. I don't wanna pay alot for a house, because I don't want a high monthly payment. Most of the neighborhoods I've looked at have a large population of Sergeants and corporals. Would I be the...

    Drug waivers for USMC higher than other services? Why?

    I don't know much about the issue, but I have to think the following: Any young recruit or candidate MUST know that NOTHING good is gonna come of saying: "I used xxx drug." Perhaps the Marine recruits have the moral courage to absolutley tell the truth at all times, vice thinking "I don't...

    Harrier gouge? (Bonus: Best/worst USMC base discussion)

    Very funny. I like my new job just fine though. I sold my red turbo CAMARO and bought an old busted 94 CAMARO for $4k. It's falling apart but the engine and susp work great. Everyone keeps saying Cherry point sucks, but I'm gonna be like a pig in shit there. There is a drag strip in...

    Harrier gouge? (Bonus: Best/worst USMC base discussion)

    I'm just renting right now. When my lease is up, and I've hopefully saved up some munnies, I'll buy a house in the area. I wanna live somewhat close to the base for now, since my car is about to die and I don't want to buy another one. As for getting outta chocks quick... I'll do my best.

    I'm staying east. My wife is looking at a pad in carolina pines on 70. It's 8 miles from the base and 10 miles from new bern, so it seemed like a good compromise. I won't need to go tail chasing in Raliegh on weekends. I'm bringing my own tail. I've been really curious about this: How are...

    FYI: Rosetta Stone now available on Marinenet

    haha.....nice. I'll check and see if she can make her own marinenet acct. It's a moot point, however. The likelyhood of her sitting down and actually working toward mastery of another language for no real reason is very slim. unethical.....yes. relevant....no.

    FYI: Rosetta Stone now available on Marinenet

    My wife is trying to learn Italian. How unethical would I be if I just gave her my Marinenet logon info and let her use some free rosetta stone? I haven't logged on in quite a while. Now that have a real MOS, Marinenet isn't going to have any "sensitive" information that she can't look at, right?

    Marine IA Billets

    Wow. That sounds alot better. I was there for the very first one ever. I did mine in aug of 2006. We didn't do it on base, it was out at the abandoned rwy's of bronson field. It wasn't even supposed to be training for me. The SNCOIC just wanted a few butter bars there to act as convoy...

    Marine IA Billets

    I was part of the start up push for that program. A gunny rented like 60 paintball guns and masks, and got his hands on a half dozen humvees. We went out to bronson field with a handful of 2ndLT's and a bunch more AMS privates, and had a massive paintball fight on the gov'ts dime, with a break...

    OK then..... I guess I won't mess with it 'till I get winged. I'll try to find a seminar in the FRS and get it knocked out there. I took two parts of the EWS package while in the API pool, but I don't even remember what they were. Back to CQ bounces and PS3 for me I guess... Thanks guys.

    Do Marine Aviators Get Reassigned?

    piggyback question: What bribes do you have to make, and what hoops do you have to jump through to become a flight instructor? Why are there no jet guys in primary? I'm in jet advanced right now, and I really want to be a primary instructor(for some strange reason) once I'm up for a B-billet...

    t34 primary pubs

    I have never seen the natops Inst flight manual, but I would like too. I had civ instrument time, and I didn't think the RI FTi did a very good job explaining stuff. It was great for BI's, but not RI's. Maybe thats why I got hammered in RI's.

    fence in

    In forms class is was explained to me as follows: When crossing into bad guy territory, You "fence in". It basically means you turn on the Master arm switch for your weapon systems. In the T34, you fence in when starting cruise form stuff, since cruise forms are sort of tactical-ish. You are...

    Radio Work

    If everyone in primary right now posted a story about sim instructors gross lack of standardization, I think we would overload the internet. After a few tiffs with the sim instructors, I made sure I made all my radio calls by the book. When I was on my CCX, I was corrected multiple times by...

    Bad day in the sim

    All good advice so far. I must add though.... The sim instructors are not known for thier good standardization. You might have just had a dickhead instructor. Some are worse than others. There are a couple that I had to write up because they told me the FTI was wrong and I should do a...

    Conduct of RI flights

    I have that sheet you're describing. It does not have fuel flow data or speeds on it. It does however, have wind. I'm a week away from planning the next block of sims, so I guess I won't worry about it right now, unless someone from NSE has some insight. As for the actual 420x flights, what...

    Conduct of RI flights

    Next question: Regarding the Jet log planning for the I24xx and I25xx block of sims, why did they only supply half-assed information on the Route of flight sheet? There is only one wind value listed. Is that for climbout, enroute, or both? What airspeed are we supposed to file for enroute? Are...
