    How long is Rotary Wing Advanced taking these days?

    Checked in to my ADV SQD in DEC 09 winged AUG 10, once I started flying it took, 6 months... a little on the slow side. Don't even ask me about the FRS... still waiting to fly.

    Rental Market in Pensacola/Milton Areas

    Cheap prices but beware of the neighborhood... you might have rednecks on all sides of you. Choose your neighborhoods very carefully. This goes for buying and renting.

    PLC with an arrest record

    ive seen worse but make sure when you right for the waiver you express how what you learned for the event. also it dedends how long ago it happened the further in the past the better.

    What happens when flight physical expires?

    Your initial flight physical from before commissioning is good for 2 Years not 1 year. So it should not be a problem for most even if you are PLC and have to wait to class up for TBS after graduating, and if you are OCC you defiantly will have no problem. So quit your worrying.

    Rifle and Pistol Qual?

    Ok so as for as the MARINES go your MOL page states Exempt under the next qual date or when your qual expires. So you will not do it in Pensacola. Go do it as recreational, to kill some time and stress.

    The Air Contract and My Chances

    Yeah you would be PLC-C and would go to OCS this summer, and yes, you have an opportunity for an air contract. Work on the paper work, PT run pull ups ECT and do it, if you don’t like OCS then when at yeast you tried. OCS is no joke, but fly a Military A/C rocks.

    When are new Lt's covered for medical?

    Sounds right to me, not on active duty or active reserve... then no medical until he goes active in NOV.

    Flight School.... Where to live?

    Gulf Breeze ...yeah cause it 30+ mins to NAS Pcola and 45 mins to NAS Whitting, besides that it is great... I guess. I forgot the 3.50$ toll each way across the bridge, but if you cross it more than 30 times a month they cut you a break if you have the fast pass. Did I forget to mention the...

    Leave while waiting for API, or at different points

    I have been in the flight school pipeline for more than 1 1/2 years. I finished TBS in May 08', did IFS in May-July at Manassas VA (near Quantico). Reported to P'cola in middle of July classed up for API in early Oct. about 3 months, then classed up for Primary in early Feb 09', 3 month wait...

    IFS Location

    Suck it up a do it in DC aka Manassas, it all good IFS in Manassas is much more laid back and easier than IFS in the PCOLA area. The Navy uses it as part of the weeding out process a lot more than the Marine Corps does. Like I said do it in DC. You will fly either 172?s or piper somethings...

    Good Veterinarians near Milton

    I recommend Milton animal hospital, on Avalon Blvd. My 6 yr old boxer was taken very good care of as he battled cancer. They even sent a sympathy card after he was put down. Great Vets and staff! Plus as earlier stated they offer a small military discount. The base Vet at Whiting is...

    2 questions

    Your OSO will have you sign a form saying that your medical condition has not changed since last at OCS. The Medical staff at in-processing may also do the same when you check in. If stuff has changed then report it or not...:icon_smil But don't worry about your physical lapsing not an issue.

    API Curriculum Mod

    Hey the Jet stuff is in the book but not on the test, as far as the curves go
  21. JZAB

    What are the tests like?

    Nice, read the engine/systems, go online and get the gouge for API from, marinegouge.com navygouge.com, bensgouge.com. But have fun maybe spend 2hrs a day studying. But you are way ahead of your peers.

    USN to USMC transition in advanced helos

    Hey Sorry for the negative outlook :) I just didn't think it would be possible so soon. Sorry my bad. Give it a shot and good luck.
  23. JZAB

    USN to USMC transition in advanced helos

    Don't think you have much of a chance; you would have to talk with the CO @ the TW or MATSG-21 once you come back to Pensacola. But still you are in the Navy and well you have been since DEC 2007, so maybe you can do a service transfer once you finish your Navy commitment. I am not trying to be...

    Natural Vision Enhancement??

    A Buddy of mine spent $2500 on those before he reported to API after TBS, after it all he did pass the eye test. However it took him a second try NOMI must have had a heart that day! They just told him to hydrate, and stare at the wall all weekend in a dark room with sunglasses on. NO TV or...

    Government Housing NAS Whiting?

    Sorry man, I checked in about 2 months ago and all Navy have to live in the BOQ or Whiting Pines if unmarried, (maybe even married?). I guess the BOQ and WP have low occupancy and thus the reason. However, the Marines and Air Force do not have too... Guess it is good being Marine. I can give...

    Commission in the Marine Corps

    When I worked for my OSO almost 2yrs ago it was 27 1/2 yrs old on your commissioning date. Because when I commissioned I was 27 and 2 months old and my OSO wanted to make sure I graduated in May and not August because that would be cutting it close.

    WTF is A POOL

    One of my friends form API was AF he was a pilot his orders had him @ Whiting the whole time before he started, then he went TAD? TDY? Or what every the call it in the AF to NAS Pensacola, i.e. he got paid per Diem and mileage to drive from Milton every day. Then when we finished, we checked...

    JPME Phase-1 via Marine Corpse Institue

    I did the non res course via seminar in p-cola waiting for API, we did the first two classes, Warfighting and C2. The Warfighting exam is a frigging METT-TC analysis, from a scenario similar to a sand table exercises @ TBS. Thankfully, I was only 6 months removed from TBS when I did it. Not...

    METT-T, he'll learn that one soon. Got to love all the TBS acronyms and lingo.

    Ord Rep?

    WHAT THE HELL IS ORD REP? never herd of it!, we had tons of billets/reps, but never that. PT, and Armory get the most face time from what I remember. Beyond that not much to do as a rep.

    Basket Leave for Christmas?

    Last year when we went on leave we filled out the ol'school leave forms on paper and turned them in, the XO then turned them in to the OOD then we signed out with them. When X-mas leave was over the XO went back to the OOD and picked up all our company's leave forms....never to be seen again...

    Gear from TBS

    Got to love a "Gear Queer” My SPC's favorite saying when it comes to gear. I have kept all my old gear since 2000 not much of it came in handy at TBS, but some has. Hopefully in a few years maybe some of it will still be “Cool” and useful if I every become a FAC.

    Flight Contract trouble with ADD/ADHD??

    My roommate currently at TBS got his Air contract revoked even after successfully completing IFS for taking Ritalin over 12 years earlier. Needless to say he was not very happy about. He said somewhere in his initial Meps physical he said he had taken the drug, and still got qualified, went to...

    About Housing Around Quantico

    1) Home time is what you make of it; I live 35 miles from Quantico and make it home every night. The schedule is quite varied as you progress through the POI. 2) Not much if every 2 times so far 3) Most of the guys live in Garrisonville or Aquia or Stafford all are out the back gate...

    Navy Golfing

    Personally I like NAS Oceana; they have 2 -18 whole courses, both really good. Also if you are ever in the DC Area, though not NAVY, Andrews AFB has 3 courses, all not bad, FT Belvior in Northern VA has 2 18's and a 9 hole course all good. Quantico's Medal of Honor course is not bad as well...

    Awesome FEX II experience

    FEX 2 sucked. Concur it was like ice skating all the way home. I loved being a human glaze donut. Even better was that I did not have to sleep in the crap just walk for 1.5 hrs in it. Well I guess I dug my fighting holes in it all day so. glad to be done with that. Jzab OUT

    Monster Marine OCS thread: stupid questions answered here!

    Concur with Crowbar, You do not need to enlist in order to go to OCS, however if you do enlist in the reserves, then apply for OCS after, you are non-deployable once you finish 1 increment of OCS at least that’s what I remember, anybody else out there know? Chime in!
