    PCS Thread

    I hear what you're saying, but the issue isn't that I don't necessarily want to go or think I'll learn something. The issue is that I'm going to be 500 miles away on leave the one day every other week they do this brief, and what's more, after explaining my situation, the PPO manager dude was a...

    Dity Brief Does anyone know if we are required to attend the dity brief? I thought we only had to attend the brief once. This will be my 3rd dity move... went to the brief the first move, not the second, now the PPO folks are telling me I need to go to the brief before they'll sign my...

    Xd(m) .40

    I got the XD .45 Tactical a couple years ago as a commissioning gift. I'm no gun nut so I can't give you all the technical hooha but I like this gun. I shoot fairly often, mostly with my little .22 plinkers due to ammo costs these days, but I can shoot my .45 just as well. It has a good...

    FAA Military Equivalency Test

    Thanks, was wondering this as well. When I go to take the test, do I need anything other than my log book? _________________________________________ Found some info here: http://www.pensacolaaviation.com/webpages/milcompfaq.html

    I figured the OP was talking about NMM when I read the title. On the subject of RAG locations, since I haven't had any luck searching, is MCAS Beaufort an option for Navy guys? I know Miramar is....

    "Hi" Approaches

    Yeah, definitely not the way to go if you're looking to save gas. I've always been under the impression that they're used to duck through the weather, ie: penetrate an icing layer. But personally, if that was my goal I'd still be looking for vectors to final....

    Another Experience At Vance

    In principle they may be the same, but in the goshawk there's a big difference. With the TACAN I get planemetric, meaning I have a line off a waypoint.. I fly to the line, fly along the line, and land on the dot. Sweet. With VOR I have to look at a damn needle and do some tail-radial-turn...

    update to good gouge Update to AN-3 with new alternate. Figured I'd add these as well since I didn't see this particular one. Meridian specific. Most people use a one page cklist with their own changes made. I deleted a lot of the airspeed/FF and aero mess once I'd memorized it and...

    Sorry I haven't been on in a while, maybe I could have saved you a lot of grief.... Coming from a fellow A-pooler, I can I say I've heard this as well, back the first week of March, and I believe it's true. The DH over at my stash job is also an API instructor, he informed all of the stashes...

    Swim Qual

    I help out with these several times a week.... survival pool stash. You can use either the side stroke, breast stroke, or crawl. Some people prefer the breast stroke, but the guys doing the side stroke seem to cruise and have an easier time of it. Speed demons use the crawl of course, but...

    No. Checking in earlier will do you NO good. Detach on Wed, take Thurs off, check in on Fri at 0700. All the briefs will be held on Fri.

    Getting PPL

    Thanks for eveyone's responses, and don't worry I plan to enjoy my time in A-pool. But I figured since I have the time and money to do it, why not. 1. I love to fly and don't want to have to wait another 4 months before I fly again. 2. I've already got the free 25 hrs from IFS, so it...

    I'm in A-pool right now and plan on going ahead and getting my PPL while I wait. I've been looking around but haven't been able to find much info on flight training in the local area. Does anyone know of a cheap place to log some hours here in P'cola? Thanks

    Uniform Reg

    Hey thanks jai5w4. I appreciate it. No worries flymarines. I wouldn't expect anything better from a bama fan. Yeah I hate having to go to that sh!thole, but I'm not going to miss us stomping y'all for the 5th time in a row. Maybe we'll get a full dozen sacks this time. ;) War Damn Eagle!

    I'm looking to put together a uniform guide for incoming freshmen, but I don't really want to have to reinvent the wheel if I can help it. If any of y'all happen to know where I can find a good midshipman uniform guide I'd appreciate it.

    Summer Cruises

    I believe that curfew went into effect right when we arrived for our cruise, but we were given the "hint hint" by the JO's that no one's gonna be taking muster during the weekend... just make it back by the Monday morning FOD walkdown. So it didn't prevent us from having a good time at all...

    Atsugi is awesome. He'll most likely be hanging out with the HSL-51 Warlords... (unless they've made the HMS transition already?) He'll definitely get stick time in the helos (60B and 60F) which is awesome. We also asked the skipper if we could do SAR jumps and fly in the jets and he said...

    Summer Cruises

    Summer cruise, like everything, is what you make of it. If you want to sleep in a hammock all day you can do it. Best advice I could give: If you want to do something, ASK. On my 2/C cruise I wanted to go flying... EVERY squadron I called took me flying. 1/C cruise: I HIGHLY recommend...

    VSTOL JSF vs. Conventional JSF

    Well, with a little force management and coordination, as soon as one bird pulled off winchester another rolls in loaded for bear... doesn't seem like it should be a difficult evolution to grasp, even for a jarhead. ;) Man is that all they carry? I guess they're totally useless and not...

    VSTOL JSF vs. Conventional JSF

    I understand the CAS role that it fills, but if you're working that close to the action what's wrong with using the Cobra? And, if you're in a constant need for CAS just keep Hornets in the area... I'm not knockin' the Harrier; I think it's an awesome aircraft, but on a cost/benefit analysis...

    VSTOL JSF vs. Conventional JSF

    Why do the marines even need a VSTOL capable aircraft? I understand its theoretical application, but has the VSTOL ability of the harrier ever been useful/utilized in a real combat arena?

    I agree that there are problems with the court systems. And, I share in your frustrations with the ridiculous suits that have been brought lately against large industries.(gun, food, tobacco, etc.) People simply need to take responsibility for there own actions. Also in many HMO, malpractice...

    follow-on to socal cop shooting

    Yeah, but just make sure you always at least offer to pay for gas or some kind of compensation for the ride. Some states carry a guest statute to protect the driver (insurance companies really) from suit by passengers. I don't believe CA has one on the books any more though. This dude could...

    IA preAPI?

    Nice point. You've succeeded where many others have failed. Thanks. The unanimity on this is pretty surprising to me though. I guess I have a screw missing to be so wrong. Now I guess it's on to plan B then... Thread Dead, converted to beach bumhism! :icon_brav

    IA preAPI?

    That's the same sentiment I keep running into. I guess there must be something to it. The only thing is that I consider my 4 years of ROTC to have been time off. I've had lots of friends and relatives already serve two tours in the hotspots and I kinda feel I've not really done jack. I know...

    I understand their law and their desire to prevent history from being "watered down" with false statements. But the legal side of this, from what the article says, is that he's charged with crimes (speeches) committed during 1989 with a 1992 law. I'm not sure whether Austria has an ex post...

    My high school's (maybe 300 students with middle and high school combined) alumni includes Carl Vinson and several pilots who would randomly do fly-bys whenever they had the chance.

    Buy or Rent

    Thanks for the great info Chunks. Another thing I forgot to ask. I've searched the USAA website and will probably just end up calling them, but does anyone happen to know if a mortgage loan can be deferred until after commissioning like the $25k personal loan they offer can?
