Yea. It's just not working, NMCI and other CAC enable WEB sites are no problem but I can't get SHARP for some reason.

Is it possible to access SHARP using MAC OSX?

They seem like farm teams for 84.

I think the negative for HM is the uncertain future. Positives: 1) you can fly 60s on shore duty 2) little to no boat time 3) extra $$ (especially 15) 4) very few non-flying community JO jobs

What are JO's leaving with after their first sea tour? I can speak for HM: ~1000 - 1100.

Could have went with the FFYSA

also assuming the retirement is still there 10 years from now; I'm not counting on it.

This is actually the article I thought I posted. There's already a group that gets their retirement at 65 and they're called reservists. What if you want to stick around beyond 20? Are you going to get capped at 50%?

http://www.navytimes.com/news/2011/07/military-dempsey-confirmation-chairman-joint-chiefs-072611p/ Sorry if this is a re-post but I couldn't find anything on it. With our bloated pork laden defense budget the answer is take benefits away from folks currently serving. I'm wondering if your...

Nice pic from DET II in Bahrian

Or just abandon systems that require tension (OASIS and Q20) and go with AMNS and ALMDS.

How about when Officers call juniors and enlisted "Mister?" I always thought it was reserved for officers or when a junior officer is addressing a senior. It seems like it's use has shifted over the years.

If someone want's my SS# and any other Vital Statistics I'm sure the VA will hook them up. I'm really not all that worried about FB.....

I had to call them but they were able to straighten it out.

The HUP site has MS Office for MAC 2011 http://www.microsofthup.com/hupus/home.aspx?culture=en-US

I was just reading about the Capt. Bonifas Axe Murder: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axe_murder_incident

Not how I feel but still funny...

Probably a re-post but this ones pretty good to:

What's your stance on v-necks sir?

What do you think 10% equals? If 10% equals a 10 day wait for a ship to transit, is that significant? What if that 10% was the only way you had to counter a specific threat?

Not when the extra flights can't lift or fit the cargo and don't have the range to make the destination.

I agree.

What's the point? It's not like they were sweeping in front of the ship when it struck the mine. If anything it highlights the importance of Mine Countermeasures.

I think you're right and this guy doesn't know MIW but I would be careful throwing out Ao numbers, it's not like Big Iron and legacy systems are kicking ass in that department. Sure SMCM speeds are slow but it's nice to be able to detect, classify and engage at the same time.

I personally don't think the towed systems (OASIS, Q-20) will ever work for the 60 the aircraft just doesn't have the power. I think the future is: UUVs for Hunting and H-60 AMNS/RAMICS for neutralization and of course to a lesser extent EOD. I'm not sure how the LCS influence sweeping systems...

I haven't heard in a while how the Organic systems are doing; specifically Q-20 and Oasis. Anyone have any insight? 2012 is coming fast and when I was in PAX 5 years ago these things had a long way to go. I'm a 53 guy and I would hate to see them go but I think we could get by without AMCM...

Remember to take advantage of the Florida Resident no sales tax deal. For those of you that don't know if you: 1. Entered the military in Florida 2. Not living in Florida or planning to in the next 6 months, you can avoid sales tax on a new vehicle. The paper work was very easy and the folks...

TAD travel is easy and I've actually become a fan of DTS but for PCS travel you have to deal with the dream team at PSD.

That's ridiculous! Can you imagine if 04s get this kind of service how are they treating E4s?

Interesting. They used to call the kid up on the bridge and ask him to pick a president.

Thanks guys. I was told the Norfolk PSD handles all of the travel claims east of the Mississippi and to expect an additional 5 Weeks to process claims. They also told me that they are victims of manpower cut backs.

@ ARSS and I find it hard to believe that a Navy "bean counter" would accept those kind of numbers due to the lost $$. Sounds more like BUDS numbers. I can see rolling a third of the class but attriting someone was a huge deal and you would have maybe one or two a class. What happens...

Can you claim it for a delayed payment? I've been stuck with a coast to coast move + a 5 week TAD + TLA on my card for five months now to the tune of almost 10K. Finally was able to submit the claim and PSD says up to two months to process. I don't remember service being this slow in the past.

If this is true things have changed a lot. I was an instructor there in the late 90's and we had guys showing up that could hardly swim; after some time in build up would make it through just fine. So for this kid making the decision: I wouldn't let the difficulty of the schools keep you...

I was wondering if folks would be interested in posting the goods and the bads. I know there are several out there.

Stand by for a dork dog-pile followed by a lockout....

Thanks for the help.

Does the 60B have a GPWS system?

How do you "prepare" feet?

Any one have any experience with this place or any other military resort in Europe?

You could write a book?

I take it back, you seem like you would be a better fit for some other line of work...

I believe you have to be commissioned prior to 27 for SNA and 29 for SNFO (someone correct me if I'm wrong and I probably am). When I was commissioned it was different, in fact I think SNFO went all the way up to 35. The point that I was making is that if you've had some issues you can prove...

You sound like a real "team player" do me and other Naval Officers a favor and lighten up...
