I agree with your post. And I think many of my fellow JOs agree too, which is why we are pursuing careers outside the navy.

We're gonna need you to strafe......

I just had lunch with a "friend" who said you had a great shot.

PS, what do you have, like 3 pilots on those things?

Here's something for you old guys - nowadays we land at the boat at night EVERYDAY. And on a typical cruise to the persian gulf during the spring/summer we land in 1/2 mile or less almost EVERYDAY. Sure we got better instruments than you had, but we use them. And if the number of single...

Yes it is possible, it has happened, but you have to have something to offer like being fluent in mandarin and farsi, studying abroad for 2 years in the middle east, and being the absolute best performer in the eyes of everyone in the navy who has come into contact with you during your career...

If you have aspirations of being a pilot in the Navy, you should but your gradschool deisres on hold. There are opportunities down the road, but you will have 3 years of flight school and 3 years of a fleet tour to worry about before you can go to grad school. Then there are opportunities, but...

We're not in 'NAM anymore, Walter.

Yeah, but they still won't let you fly by yourself, big dawg!

1. Guy highlights my flight number and departure time on my ticket. 2. Guy shines a flashlight at my ID. 3. Take shoes off. 4. Lady tells me to walk through metal dector. 5. Get shoes back. Now I'm safe from all the bad men!

Yeah, great example of a frontline force there. I would hardly call female cagefighters a stong military force. Yaks and llamas are more elite in the militaries of some of the countries you just listed.

It's kind of hard to miss when you're target is a city.

You don't need to post what happens at your wive's club meetings here...

i thought harriers had to use water when they put their nozzles down. Is that a limitation?

I don't think you get it.

That's what I love about the marines. They don't take anything they don't need.

the answer is quite simple. Put bombs on hawkeyes. 3 FAC A's, 2 Pilots, CRM from hell. Everyone could fight over the flir.

VMI and the Citadel are in their own category. Don't let anyone try to convince you that VT, A&M, Norwich, or any other hardcore ROTC program is the same. For the same reason, VMI and the Citadel are not in a class with the service academies. When you go there you won't have to quantify your...

I graduated from there in 04. I promise you that there are few other fraternities where people have a respect for one another and act as a team than VMI. Wether you're a 4 year private or the highest ranking person on campus you will gain a leadership perspective only found there and possibly...

If flying a hi tacan/ils is the most tactical thing you'll ever do, then I can see why the widomaker is something to get excited about. Put a boat at the end and you got the cv-2.

make sure when you check in that you are actually entitled to live out in town, as some navy/mc studs aren't (just based on when you arrive and the occupancy of the dorms). Stay away from indian Oak apartment, and the one next to it, they are not worth the 310 rent I paid to stay there. I...

Sounds a little too dangerous for me.

That was awsome

keep the faith

what are you, tenth man on the team, last to know?

you mean to tell me the female socialist lost?

Just remember, you are not imortal. That will help you recognize and improve on your mistakes so you won't get bit in the future. I promise you everyone on this board who has been in aviation a while has had a few traumatic experiences/close calls, but they still do what they do because they...

probably not good riddance, because they'll replace those 40k personell with 80k contractors to do their jobs.

I went like this, then he went like that and then I was like, "Where'd he go?" Then I heard "Where'd WHO GOOOOOO!"

You can always go to the oft!

yes, and I've heard of the whiskey compass too, but it sounds like the software problem would be the ins.

going to idle reduces compressor stalls and the gyroscopic effects of the engine on the aircraft's spin.

Well you tell me. How many tacans/vors are floating around in the middle of the ocean? Or were you refering to the sextant/astrolabe method?

The fact that they can give you an NSS out of IFS is silly. The instructors evaluating you are lucky to have a hundred hours. Looking back on the program, it almost amazes me that there are not more accidents in civilian flight schools. There is just something different about learning to fly...

Depends on how far you're willing to drive. There's a guy named David Puddy who works at a volvo dealership. Right next to the arbys.

I have heard that they check with the faa to see if you got a ppl or not. Pretty obvious, if you are one and lie about it, you get cut from the navy. Another way IFS weeds out people.

no kidding. god forbid if the topic was discussed before. if you didn't search this thing 6 ways to sunday, then your thread would degrade into a 4 pager of cries for more searches, pictures from college humor.com, and a possible gun discussion. the only way you can seek immunity is to become...

So they start arresting people in the bars. Then people will stop going to bars. This creates less tax revenue for the city, then there will be less money to fund silly operations like this one. People will start returning to bars. The cycle starts over. Going into a bar to find drunk...

hey, at least you're not the guy who quits week 2 because a standup is too stressfull... Keep your head in the game and use the support of the other guys in your flight and you'll do well. You're on the AF's time, so you'll play by the AF's rules. If you can show your IPs that you're...

green chevron all the way baby!

actually, the secnav nominated and the senate confirmed every officer reading this.

They're doing some wonderful things in the P-3 community these days. I suggest you hop on board the elevator to success before it leaves with out you.

Is that a mach 2+ spaceship in the background?

Carrier Aviators flew around the boat with their canopy open. They didn't do it to look cool or cool off. They did it because it was the first step in the ditching procedure.

Do what YOU think is in YOUR best interest!

Its pretty easy to pick out the iron sight cripples.
