I'll jump on the bandwagon and emphasize that in accepting this slot, you may have ruined the dream of the guy you barely edged out for that slot and countless others. Sure the money for college is nice but don't ever do anything for the money, it's a recipe for unhappiness and failure. There's...

This one was posted a while back. If it doesn't get you teary eyed, you don't have a pulse

that jerk stole my video! (I guess it's to be expected on youtube) I uploaded that video and a few others a while ago on youtube to share with you guys. See this thread and my youtube page for the others. http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?p=362165#post362165

The flight deck appears to be Verlindens 1/72 resin flight deck kit. If I were you, with your skill, I would scratch build a flight deck out of a wooden board. Just look at some pictures, it would be pretty easy to do IMO. When I free up some time/ money I am going to make my own deck diorama...

Well, what's the point of using a tool that only works "sometimes"? To ruin the reputation/ potential careers of people that have done a pretty good job of keeping their noses clean throughout their lives? Yeah, that's a wonderful tool alright.

Polygraph tests are pure CRAP. I recently took one for another government job, and I have not gotten the results back yet, but at the end of the exam I think the examiner was convinced I was lying to him and that I have committed serious crimes that we had not discussed. So basically I am...

Here's my contribution. Sunday was a much better day to take pictures http://picasaweb.google.com/flysupertomcat/NASOceana2008#

I'll be there. I go every year, it's a great show.

Dude, if being an officer is what you truly want, then get your butt in gear and make it happen! Ok, so you suck at life at the moment, doesn't mean you have to suck for the rest of your life. As was mentioned, you'll need a degree from a four year institution. With your grades, getting into a...

here's a better video of it.

If you care about your life, spend the money and spend as much time out of Prince George's county as possible! (basically the immediate surroundings of Andrews). Can't imagine big, bald white dudes are very common in that area. Head for DC or VA. Also, Annapolis is probably infinitely better...

I'll admit, I own it on DVD. Sure it does have some cheesy/ghey moments and ascots are in full force, but at least it looks good in Windows HD...

I didn't realize illegal immigrant lives held less value than that of American citizens. Thanks for enlightening us.

didn't see this posted anywhere http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080629/pl_politico/11425 Basically politics suck and this is just wrong.

I would think if a criminal sees your gun, if he's smart, he'll try and take you out first. Not only are you down but he's now got another weapon. I wouldn't carry openly.

I used to do a little bit of modeling when I was younger but I sucked (think everything painted by hand). In order to be really impressive you have to be handy with an airbrush. I am seriously thinking about getting back into it. Right now I've built up a decent collection of high quality 1:72...

+1 for acknowledging that. Honoring a good woman is what real men do. (or should do) oh and be able to drive a stick... autos are for NEWBZ yO :D

What I found to be interesting was the contrasting moods in the ready rooms during the night time recoveries. From what was shown, the Marine guys were joking the pilots the whole time while the two Navy squadrons shown were nearly dead silent and tense. I don't believe in jinxes but I know I...

like several have said, best image quality is largely based on lenses. Nikon v. Canon is not necessarily apples to oranges IMO. They both can produce amazing images, and I have used and owned several cameras in both camps. IMO the major difference is in colors, where as Nikon colors are a little...

My favorite call sign of the night: FUNGUS (Fvck U New Guy U Suck)

If you end up living in Norfolk, particularly the Ghent area, make sure you are aware of flood zones as flooding can be pretty bad during strong storms. Really nice colonial style homes in that area though. I used to frequent the VA beach area a lot when I lived in Norfolk and I personally...

"I wouldn't let Buba pull my kids' wagon" hahaha

Ok, so now that I am done with college I am wondering what other things I could do to make myself more "well rounded" or more competitive. My concern is that I wasn't a rockstar in college, I was in a couple of clubs but I didn't hold any leadership positions. I was involved in several extra...

I wouldn't mind universal health care because being without health insurance sucks at times. My dad lost his job in 02' and I have been without health insurance ever since. He doesn't get benefits from his current job, and I haven't been able to get a job that will give me benefits while I've...

These are my beliefs. I apologize for the structure, I’m kind of all over the place. I am a devout Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ with everything I am. I do practice organized religion but I don’t deny that there are flaws. As a Christian, your goal in life is to be like Christ. So as...

Congrats bro! Just livin the dream!

wow, that was uncalled for. I never said "this is how it is, I've been there done that", I was just saying that if it's covered up I wouldn't think it would be a problem. Just an opinion. It's like some guys shave their nuts, but unless they're out in the open how the hell would you ever know...

If you can cover it up, I don't see why you couldn't wear it at OCS. Don't be stupid and just wear the underarmour by itself because you'd be making yourself an obvious target wearing a skin tight shirt, but under a PT swearshirt or something I wouldn't think you'd be able to tell unless they...

I agree, I don't know what programs Texas has but in VA we have ESL (English as a Second Language) that is available to students. Granted it is not Texas, but there is a large population of Hispanics in N.Va as well. It sounds like they are catering to the students rather than educating them and...

I'm Hispanic and I don't necessarily approve. What exactly is the flaw in the system? I would consider labeling things in both English and Spanish as educational vs. a flaw in the system. Kids see that the "bano" is called a bathroom or restroom, or little things like that, they learn that way.

I was fairly amused. You gotta have the picture, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan for the same effect :captain_1

Uh who said? If he is (or becomes) a volunteer EMT, a lot of times they will put you through Paramedic school if you request it. At least that's how it works in my area. Whether he will have time to do it while in the Corps is another issue I can't comment on, but plenty of people are Paramedics...

Oh come on, Norfolk's not SO bad. After spending four years here, I don't mind it so much. From what I've read, you could do worse.

http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=139048 only minutes apart haha Why would the airforce ground all F-15's after one crash? With the F/A-18 that crashed off the NC coast a few weeks ago, no one really made a big deal (at least to those of us on the outside). ... and...

beautiful edit* sucks that they probably will see close to none of that money.

You'll find a lot of "haters" around here... get used to it. The grammar has GOT to improve, bro. As for waiting, if you hang around here long enough you will find that relatively little in the military is ever guaranteed so if you get the opportunity to do something that so many of us would...

Without Top Gun there wouldn't be nearly as many "what % get jets" questions! I'd call it a revolutionary movie. :D :)

I have found that initiative is key, even in something as petty as researching your potential career...

You're assuming you're going to get picked up on your first try. Unless you're a rock star (which you very well may be), the chances are fair that you might not get picked up your first time. You need to plan for that. Like most people will say, apply early and apply often. You're getting to a...

You kinda gotta have thick skin around here. The same is true for spouses and "girl friends"... As for your question, as I understand it, mail at OCS is not received well... (I believe they look through it, maybe that's just packages.) I know that doesn't answer the question, but just...

added a couple more

Well, I have kind of figured out how to upload clips from the cruise videos I own and I know some of you guys will get a kick out of this first one. It is the "Foc'sle Follies" from VF-31's last Tomcat cruise. I have no idea what "Foc'sle Follie" means but perhaps you salty types can fill us...

Good thing it happened at the point of lift off. I can't imagine how much that would suck if they had been in flight.

The Tomcat is almost as old as your Vintage 65 Mustang. The point is, yes it sucks to lose a vintage aircraft but you can't put that on the same level as the human piloting it. I don't care how vintage, there are still 9 more. Particularly to his family, there was only one of him. As far as...
