Just because some Major suggested that doesnt mean that its a good idea, there PewPew. We have a bunch of old crusty sim instructors up here who think that the t45 and the Hornet are garbage and that we should go back to the A-4. Now flying the A-4 sounds like a blast, but there is a reason why...

Man you are an expert on the HMMWV and our tactics over there. Dont you think that if we had known ahead of time that a HMMWV was going to get hit by an IED we would have sent something else or gone around it? We need a vehicle that has high mobility but can still keep the guys inside alive when...

I don't know of anything on the drawing board... but i will say that your standard jeep wouldnt have enough balls to move all the armor effectively.

I thought it was an interesting idea. I like the little Jeeps though. They would be cheap to make and you could pump them out quick. Just my 2 cents. A few problems I see with your plan there PEWPEW. How are you gonna Uparmor a jeep? Do you know how much that stuff weighs? Little cheap jeeps...

Never crusty enough for you HAL... Seriously though, everbody pokes fun at everyone. :D

Awesome thread... I go to the boat next month and still on the fence for selection. For what its worth and what has happened last few selections, it seems that the Marines with scores around a 50 NSS pretty much all got harriers. But who knows next month everyone might get hornets.... or...

there are some old threads on that some where on this site. I'm sure its the same in the Army as it is in the Marines/Navy or even the AF, there are drug deals to be had, its just all about timing. I have heard of some pretty crazy transitions out there. My favorite is the one-eyed NFO, shows...

Its a NORDO thing and is probably the worst thing to do if you are trying to save gas in a jet. From what I'm told only flight studs do high approaches anymore, unless you like pain.

I live in a 3 bedroom 2 bath house in northern Meridian. The drive from my door to the flight line is about 20 mins. I have a dog, but hes legit. The lady decided that the military wasn't for her and moved back home, so I am looking for someone to split some rent. The rent is $950 a month so...

yes.

haha i remember that movie

This badboy helped Doolittle win the Thompson trophy in 1932, but was extremely unstable. They only built 3 and they all crashed. I bet that would be one hell of a ride.:D

haha along with Ave8tor's paragraph, that pretty much explains TBS. One last bit of advice, make sure everyone knows your an air contract and get a low-reg.:D

haha TBS is a total "jock" school. I suspect we will see you on here in 6 months asking what to study for API. Bottom line is chill out, enjoy being a nasty civie for a couple more weeks and turn it on when you get there. I second the PT efforts in boots, but thats about it. If you go around...

Its unfortunate that we do this as Americans, but we have done it since America was America. We single out a group or groups of people as being different and we alienate through fear and ignorance. Sailors and Marines just like us were having a similar discussion 70 years ago, when African...

Naval Aviation magazine just had an article about the first year for HT-28. The first paragraph of the article talks about the growing demand for helos and that currently 2/3 of Naval aviators are helo bubbas. Dont forget the Navy also flies the P-3 and the E-6. Not so many E-6 guys out there to...

I've seen Officer and a Gentleman, so i know its tough:D

Hey Bogey it was a joke. Don't be so damn sensative. Probably the same context when you were joking about Marine libo being gay. What is this whole rep points thing all about and why are you dinging me?

Yeah well you went through Navy OCS, nuff said.

Seriously don't sweat it. If he finishes in August and he doesn't class up for a few weeks, he'll will get some time off. The Marine Corps is not going to swallow him up, so that he is never seen again. Tell him to not worry about TBS until he finishes OCS. I had a year off before I went to TBS...

If you want to guarantee your first choice, be the top guy. Like what Heloanjin said, be the top guy selecting from every squadron. How do you be the top guy? Thats a tuffy, i'd say maybe go out and pick up some ratings like your ppl and instrument.( I will catch hell for saying that, but i...

Truck driving school.... or make a career out of it, just make sure you dont let your pilot make any low passes.:D

Starting up an old thread here. Moving up to Meridian in the next couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone knew or had a house for rent. I know they have the lists out there, but would like hear if anyone has anything on here. Thanks fellas

5.75 from the ground:D

How long is the FRS for the osprey? Any ideas?

Good news for Osprey hopefuls. Last two weeks, I've had friends get ospreys when their first choice was rotory. There is talk of trying to stand a sqd up on the west coast. Dont know if that is true, but one thing is, the pipeline is open and they are taking people every week.

Thanks for the input gents. The convenience factor is one of the main reasons why i am looking into getting one.

very nice. I think that is the toughest part about crossfit, finding all the stuff to do the workouts.

Been looking into buying a bowflex. Does anyone own one or used one before? Are they worth it? Let me know, thanks.

Good friend of mine just got his second choice(ospreys), he had strike as his first choice with a 65, but only one jet slot this week. Went to a guy with a 68. Pretty tough goin to get strike right now.

nice dude

I went to Bestbuy today and I talked to two guys there, who both said the PS3 is the way to go. I looked at the 360 and PS3 and compared some prices. THe 360 is cheaper, but as stated on here already, there are bunch of little things, not included. The only thing that puzzled me about the PS3...

thanks fellas

Got some gift cards for xmas and was looking at purchasing one or the other. I'm not expert, so I was hoping some of the owners out there could enlighten me on which one is the best choice. I looked at their websites, but of course they are only gonna tell you what is great about their product.

Thanks for the input. Keep doing what I'm doing and count my lucky stars.:D

thanks. Makes sense

So lets say I received a recommendation for a certain pipeline. Does that have any weight, or again is that just for me.:D

I was reading this thread and then looked at a bunch of my grade sheets. I read the comments about the grades and the general comments. Are the comments for just me or are these comments reviewed by the sqd and the wing? Do they look at recommendations from an IP or ONWING? Or its all NSS based...

haha easy now. McCain was a close 2nd and hes got my vote. If hes not available I will run:D

I got this guy. Didnt even know he was running. Great site. I read up on most of the issues.

Hey I am just playing Devil's advocate here. Just seeing what everyone is thinking. I would also like to see some unbiased info on each candidate. From what I know of him, I would like to see McCain win. Of all the candidates, his military experience is for greater and he knows what its like to...

A snowball's chance in hell, unless people are fed up with the current parties. I feel like in the last election, there was just a lack of options and the win was by default. Basically we took the least weak candidate. How big does a following go, before hes got his own party. Look at Nader in...

Just seeing if anyone has any thoughts or comments about this guy. I have mostly questions. Does he really have a chance? He has raised alot of money. I feel like he is huge threat to both parties, because he is doing things differently and his campaign is totally funded by small donations from...

John Glenn

Study what interests you, because it doesnt matter down here. I know guys with GS degrees(general studies) down here, haha talk about least resistance.

Awesome thankyou

Do you have the link of the journal?

Thanks for the advice, just getting exited to finally start flying, its been about 2 years now.

Anything that could prevent myself from looking like an @ss. Stuff that the new guys dont know. Thanks for reply
