I use it to write down all headings, altitudes, frequiences, and altimeter settings. I like to play a good game of scorched earth enroute. Its so easy to use that I often find myself writing letters and notes in the unique Palm alphabet. I don't know what I would do without it. Palm pilots...

Wonder what Viper has to say about this...

Is KBay Kingsbay, GA?

Maybee they were out of doughnuts and coffee.

As a side note, the even numbered russian designations are generally reserved for heavy aircraft, which makes Goose's claim all the more humorous.

Cant remember how many times during fams I heard "get used to it, every plane pitchbucks"

Do they issue different PCLs accomodating religious preferance when one shows up to the RAG?

Thank you for your story. Hopefully it is not over yet!

Yearrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

quick question.....are you a pirate?

does anyone know what kind of deals he made as a result of those bribes? I'd like to know if its something I might be sailing or flying on.

i'm gonna go paint my face like a SEAL, go buy a pair, and listen to god smack on the way home.

its a shame he didn't burn the place down.

Hey, are cops invited?

Yes, they open their bomb bay doors and drop the NFOs. The aircraft preforms quite well in the FO-less regime. Thats why so many NFOs want east coast hawkeyes, because there's lots of sharks in the Pacific. ARRRRGH maties!

lets not condemn the program because of a single slip up!

That guy went IFR on a CAVU day. Sounds like an air force stunt if you ask me.

I only hope that this thread doesn't develop into another gun control debate

great post. I know quite a few who have "earned" them.

I'd say your chances are pretty much zero until you become an officer in the military and get into the flying program.

I reccomend a vanguard index fund for starters. It would be cool to have 4-5 funds, but it would be cool to be a millionaire as well.

i too was first diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat, but when I was retested, the new doc said that my first reading was done on a poorly calibrated machine and the previous doc misanalyzed it. My heart's still intact.

I went to vance too. What this guy says is dead on. No siestas on the beach. Plenty of great flying. Long work days.

I think a parachute comes down at like 1000 fpm, so 500 fpm should be a picturesque ride.

One thing that these schools teach you is that your net worth is your integrity, which is valuable for anyone who wants to become a leader and military officer. True, the methods of indoctrination and living conditions will seem arcane to an outsider, yet I would rather rely upon someone who...

Dont take the class and see if they call your name on commissioning day...be sure to tell us how it works out.

The concept of IFS is a good one, but the implementation of it is what makes it a joke. Being told to not land until 2.2 hours had expired on my last solo flight might illustrate the state of mind of an IFS school - get the students through, and cash that check. I disagree. Threre are many...

Haven't been a part of either, but there is no telling which squadron will be better especially because of the command and instructor turnover that may occur during your time there.

Too bad we discover this at the most inoppertune times. I was doing IFS at Pensacola regional on my second solo, and I was cleard to land on an extended final behind a large passenger jet (I don't know my passenger jets, but it was slightly smaller than a 737). I thought to myself that I might...

Just think of San Diego like eating at the Palm Think of Pensacola as the Applebees Oklahoma City would have to be the Denny's on its last day of health board certification. Which one would you want to come home to?

Good luck, hope you get your dream shot

I'd like to hire them catch you if you can style

I was told that we were an MSL peoples

Not a Marine, but I think that garuentee only means that if you get a pilot slot then you get to go to flight school, just like the navy, or else pick up a MOS after TBS like the rest of the nonflyers.

To kill people

Maybee I should make some cards so I can start taking legal pictures

I was under the assumption that there were more f18 2 seaters and EA6Bs out there than harriers and single seat hornets, but i've been wrong before

Guys, I gotta make a run to the record store:

its a goddamn wast of money. It doesn't go too much faster than a helicopter or carry much more, yet as far as I can tell it does the same mission. At least it shows that the government is willing to spend money on the Marines, which is overdue.

you're gonna need car insurance to get on base, or a bicycle

what sort of non aviation jobs can you get out of there?

Nfo2b, you might want to rethink about joining the armed forces if you feel so strongly against the office of the president.

I dont know much about the plane, but I heard that the T6B will be better than the T6A by a longshot. I think the navy will start using them in 2 to 3 years.

Marines do their job the AF talks about it

hope you make the right decision, but from my brief experience it seems to be much harder to become an officer in any branch when compared to just a few years ago - you are lucky to have the choice

I also support the "cleansing" of that city

you didn't have your gallbladder removed.

I'd be suprised if the president allowed it considering his dad winged there

You've gotta push yourself right to the edge of the envelope... and more dangerous. This school is about combat.

The gouge on the flight suits at the end of the third week is actually kind of new because when i was there we got them more toward the middle of the third week, but you could consider that the late middle half if you were too anxious.
