^^^ Second that.

And quite honestly, a vast majority of we minorities want exactly that. I didn't need extra days at OCS to "acclimate" nor do I need extra swim instruction because its perceived that black people can't swim. Affirmative action is bullshit....I want to get promoted/accepted/placed, etc. because...

Welcome to Airwarriors. "What are my chances" type posts are usually shot down way more harshly than you've gotten so far, so take that for what its worth. These guys are being generous w/ the info they've given. And its not that we don't like newcomers or don't want new posters, but we get...

Can I ask the question of why you're going USNR instead of active duty? Just for my own curiosity.... Also, as Sooner said, everything is super super competitive right, even in supply and other fields. When one designator closes out for the FY, others take their apps to another designator...

I got in with a gpa of 2.7 from undergrad, however, my situation was different. I have an Aerospace degree and worked 4 jobs to help pay for school....still partied and was in a fraternity too. If you're serious and want to show them you've changed, first do what Otto said and read around...

Ok, let me preface with this. If you're worried/concerned about the amount of hours you'll be putting in, do yourself (and your recruiter) a favor and go rip up your application right now. I only say that because the reality is this....you are joining THE MILITARY. The majority of designators...

Hours in terms of what?

Welcome to the site and congrats on the BDCP selection! Sounds like you are very enthusiastic and that's awesome. However, I would take your recruiters advice and just sit back and enjoy college while its left and getting paid to go to school and nothing more. Nothing wrong with wanting to...

Can't wait for the safety standdown/brief on this next monday. Nope.

I'm going to echo what Kbay said and the OP said here before the fireworks start.... You'll quickly realize/be surprised when you start IFS/API/Primary, etc. just how many people actually do come down here not expecting to work and study WAY more than you fly. Some think flight school is...

Somewhere in the world, a hooker just died.

No. You will get flight pay when you start Primary. Oh and did you mean for your username to say "Angles" instead of "Angels?"

Seriously man, you can't possibly be that lazy. And ignorance is no excuse in this day in time w/ technology and everything else at our hands. Go to google or bing or whatever search engine. Do that and then open a new tab w/ Amazon.com. In whatever search engine you use to look up porn...

Hahahahahahaahahaha +1

Supreme Court rules for Anti-Gay church over Military Funeral Protests http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/03/02/scotus.westboro.church/ I don't even know where to begin with this one. I never in a million years would've thought it would go/end up this way. The vote ended up 8-1? And the Supreme...

First of all, stop being so dramatic and get a grip. And saying you want to "kill yourself" is not a funny thing to say or joke about..... If you want to do better, stop making excuses for the internet or whatever else it was. If it was REALLY THAT BAD, find a way to take the paper version...

What twobe said....SWO with Information Professional option. Here is a thread that explains all of them. I typed "SWO IP" into Google and this was the first hit. And no Helo, I also find it ironic...

SWO = Surface Warfare Officer, which is not you. IWO = Information Warfare Officer or also known as IW

^^^This. I got my orders the day before graduation as well. I know you're ready to get out of there, but sit tight and enjoy the last week. The orders will come. The Navy works on their schedule, not yours.

I don't know why, but I'm pretty sure this is my new favorite word. Just sayin. Please continue your previous discussion.

Some of us do rent planes or fly them as our actual jobs after the military. While you're active duty (speaking strictly from CNATRA land), the problem isn't renting planes or the desire to do it or not do it. The problem is time and priorities. Finishing my PPL and getting other civilian...

Try running in circles with 200 other people until the DI's say stop. Or being in there with another class running sprints, suicides, sprint shuttle hops, etc. Thats only a small sampling. Plus being in the gym that early is depressing, especially knowing you will be PTing there for the...

You specify when you're available on the application, but other than that no. You go when they say go. You live in Pittsburgh yet claim to hate the cold? Suck it up.

Well sir, in an ideal world, yes thats what would be done and how it should be done IMHO. However, they don't make things that easy at school's command. You basically have to jump through a bunch of hoops to try to get a waiver processed from what it sounds like. When I got down here for API...

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you can apply for a transfer or a waiver. You can try, but school's command usually isn't very keen on sending waivers or anything that would delay your training, up through the chain. There is not time before API. They're trying to...

THANK YOU!!! Ok newbies to the forum, check this out: This is a forum with a SHITLOAD of information on it about pretty much damn near anything you could ever, EVER, EVER ask or think about. Take the time to do a search and stop being lazy asking people to send you gouge or info or just...

Sweepers was a no go after a certain point. That was one of the good things about being on Indoc staff....and I was knowledge body, so sweepers was the only time I could make it down to Sniper Alley to make copies with no DI's around. Except the one day when MGySgt was still around and scared...

Here you go: Primary/Intermediate: VT-10 (VT-4 used to be Intermediate, but VT-4 has merged with VT-10) Advanced: VT-86

If you have a death wish. You will more than likely be studying or preparing for an inspection or doing sweepers, so no.

I can definitely past that along. They're both still there and doing well. Skywarriors is located at Pensacola Regional now, but the Skywarriors sign is also still up at Bay Minette

Yes sir, they are. I'm finishing up my PPL through them. As my flight instructor stated, since I went through in July 2010, some "changes" had been implemented.

1. Not sure about that one. I'll let a Marine speak to that one. 2. Days are long. You have ground school for 2 weeks and sit in front of the computer all day and do the lessons and exams and stuff. After ground school its a bit better. You'll fly everyday or whenever you're on the flight...

I'm gonna try to finish but before I even get to it, you need to change out the very first sentence. It's a fragment and opens up very awkwardly. Change it or get rid of it.

Second this. :icon_zbee

You should spell out what those designators are.....those of us who are Officers don't have those codes memorized. From there, we'll have a better idea of where to go.

That depends on your designator. I would say no, but i'm only coming from the aviation side of things. Lazers can attest for the SWO world. As far as aviation goes, (again this is only my experience up to Primary flight training), you will have no problems in IFS or API getting sleep...

Or just deal with it and don't worry about getting caught....because you will be worried about getting caught. And if you do, its an integrity violation and a big deal. And I can also say that being caught napping is also not a good idea. "Don't get caught" is easier said than done. You...

Yeah don't count on having 9 hours a night. And no you wont get to nap, this isn't a summer camp you're going to. Sunday, yes you will get to "sleep in" because reveille is at 0630 instead of 0500. You will be more tired than you've ever been in your life the entire time, but your body will...

Its amazing how articulate and educated you claim to be and yet you are so dense, that you can't take a hint. Yes I know the LSAT doesn't have a vocab section, I was being facetious. (see I can use them too) No one here is doubting you going to OCS and getting a commission, but you just...

Exactly. I want to turn away but I can't. Hence my previous post about letting it continue. Look finnsy, I would take a wild guess and say that A4s probably knows Officer material. He's been around the block, more than a few times and if thats what he believes, he's welcome to that opinion...

Hahahah nice A4s.... I'm not gonna lie, as ridiculous as all of this has been, this is has been pretty entertaining for me since mr. xbox hopeful opened his mouth. I vote to just let it continue.... I mean, can it really get any worse?

Just in case you didnt catch EAS' hint.....go and ask your recruiter. For many of us, Officer interviews were not required and many of us are (far) removed from the recruiting pool, so we can't really answer that question. Your best bet is to just go and ask him/her. Good luck.

Isn't this basically the definition of a SWO?

Wow. If some of the other users don't mind, especially those who have wings under their name, I'd like to respond to this as I know how busy they are, apparently NOT being warriors or protecting the country. And I'm bored waiting for the next part of Primary... First of all, you need go...

Hail, I'm going to go on a limb and give you some words of advice and caution, mainly because I feel like you need it, but also because your name and location make me think you're either alumni from or are at least a fan of the University of Michigan, which is also my alma mater (GO BLUE!!), so...

Falker and I were in the same OCS class. I got down here in late April about a week after commissioning. I started IFS in July. API in September (due to orders issues) and finished at the end of October, also 2 weeks after Falker finished. As Otto said, its cyclical and depends on a...

That's definitely some bullshit right there. That's the one part of the future that slightly concerns because I have no control over when/if that happens again, no matter how well I end up doing compared against someone else.

For your last problem, its going to require you to do some long division. There's no way around, so hope your division is up to par. First make sure copied the problem right. I believe the problem says that the second pit is dug in three quarters the time of the first one, NOT 3 hours. If...

Here's #9: Perimeter of a Triangle is 180. Width is half the length. What is the length? The perimeter of a triangle is found by the summation of all the sides. So P = L1 + L2 + L3 or P = 3*L *For sake of argument we're assuming the the sides are the same distance. The length is a...

Sitting height is what gets measured. Seats can be adjusted up and down in the training a/c....well at least in the T-6 it can.
