www.msnbc.com is reporting that authorities have no evidence of terrorism. The NYTimes also has some info regarding the crash and possible casualties. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/11/nyregion/12crashcnd.html?hp&ex=1160625600&en=43676d689354db2c&ei=5094&partner=homepage

DH = Dear Husband We know, you hate it. :)

Yeah, flight school length is dependent upon which aircraft your boyfriend will fly and if there's a back-up in that training pipeline or not. My husband and I find out where we're getting stationed next february/march, so we're super excited.

You and HD had good guesses, but I'm thinking DB = Dear Boyfriend. :)

Coldnavy, you really like those titles, huh? :) And I agree with you... of course this lifestyle comes with huge sacrifices on both ends and both people need to evaluate whether they're individiually willing/able to embrace those sacrifices. I think that if you had coupled what you just said...

Hmmm... I get where you're going, Coldnavy, but I respectfully disagree. Showing concern about being separated doesn't mean you're making a bad career choice. If concern is coupled with fear or doubt, then the career choice is probably bad. My husband was "concerned" about being separated...

Brett, would you mind if I started referring to you as "Mr. Congeniality?" :icon_tong

I know the Army offers that, but I don't know about any other branch. Here's an article about it: http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/issues/2005/Dec1/SB-Free_Web.htm

I'm shocked that they had pencils & paper back then! :eek: J/k A4's...

I think it's a typo and is supposed to say "drawing."

Popcorn time anyone? :D

It's interesting that the article states that deputies weren't releasing her name for her protection, yet a few paragraphs above, they gave her name...

My husband was BDCP while we were in college and he got BAH, so unless they've changed things since then (which is always a possibility), you should get BAH in addition to pay. And I believe that making the Dean's list will get you a promotion/pay increase. Again, that's how it was when my...

From above article:

From the Houston Chronicle's web site, http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4098424.html (I attached a picture of the guy from the article)

At my husband's OCS graduation, there was no limit on how many people you could have attend. That said, he only invited his parents and a couple of close friends.

His wife is not his age, she's much younger. You do realize that Hef is 80, right? His wife is in her 40's. :) And the three girls aren't triplets... Hey, I know all of this because I watch The Girls Next Door on E!

I know that the Navy exchanges usually carry these. I looked at the NEX online and didn't see it available there. Do you know anyone that lives near a Navy exchange that could pick one up for you? A friend of mine went shopping for one of these a little while back and the smallest size she...

That would be nice, but they (the housing office) make you take the fence down and fill in the holes to pass your final move-out inspection.

OH, don't be fooled, there are still a ton of terrazzo floors. We lucked out of getting one of those and getting carpet. Ah, the simple pleasures. Is there a community board or something where we could maybe post a flyer to find a fence?

Watch out, two of them are still at large...

Um, yeah, until the itching and burning starts...

You should take up women. We're expensive, but even if you're bad with us, we'll let you change our oil.

Congratulations, Ryan (and Whitney!).... I know you wanted east coast and I'm sorry you didn't get that, but I'm glad you got the aircraft you wanted at least! Congrats again, me and Ben are thrilled for you.

We have many different career women who are military wives on this site. I know that the Private Spouses Corner could really help out your girlfriend with this whole subject... you should ask your girlfriend to join us so that we can help answer her questions! Just because it's called the PSC...

Congratulations! That's great news!

I'm enrolled in Tricare Prime and I've had nothing but wonderful experiences with it. The Naval facilities and Dr's have really been excellent. If the military medical facility in your area does not have a particular specialist that you need (gynecologist/obstetrician, emergency room, etc)...

A Navy recruiter friend of mine used to say (regarding 'youthful indescretions') "Hindsight is 20/20, but stupidity is forever."

Well, Fly does have a girlfriend, so I bet he's doing just fine. :)

Hey, congratulations!

1) My husband said that IFS is all you get... not a PPL. A PPL requires a minimum of 40 hours, and IFS will get you about 25 hours. If he wants to pursue pilot training with the Montgomery GI Bill after he gets out, my husband said he could use it for that. My husband also thinks your...

I forgot to mention this earlier, but there are some really great nursing programs offered online. I'm entering into Texas A&M - Corpus Christi's online nursing program so that when Ben get stationed elsewhere, I can still continue my education. The nursing classes seem really great... many of...

You didn't mention the University of West Florida in your post, but it would be good for her to consider. I'm also going for a BSN & then masters in Nursing. I didn't go to school while in Pensacola b/c we were only there for three months for API (husband had NO wait in between OCS & API, so I...

Cool link, Whitney! You find the best charitable causes!

And Happy Birthday to me.... I always knew my birthday was cool for a good reason.

When my husband reported to API, he had to get all of the same shots he got three months prior, while he was in OCS. The Navy had apparently lost his shot records. So, I'd recommend definitely keeping a copy of your civilian records just in case. Let's hope the Marines keep better track of...

Congratulations!!!!

The answer is yes... they gave him two days off.

Does anyone know what the Navy's policy is for granting time off for funerals? I've always thought it had to be an "immediate family member" to be granted leave, but I'm hoping (but not confident) that they make special exceptions. My husband's, (Ben on this site, in primary at the moment)...

I heard that USC will stand at #1 and the Longhorns will still be at #2 come monday. So sayeth ESPN.

It's just the beginning of what you're going to miss while in Pensacola. Next on the list will be roads that don't suck, speed limits that don't suck, drivers who don't suck, weather that doesn't suck and then of course, civility. Good luck on your quest.

Just click on whichever forum you're trying to post in and look for the icon towards the upper left that says "New thread."

Will Certain Servicemembers Receive Free Coverage? SGLI members serving in areas or operations designated by the Secretary of Defense as combat operations or zones of combat will have the premiums for $150,000 of coverage paid for by the Department of Defense. This is only while they are...

FEMA Chief Brown to resign... http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050912/pl_nm/brown_dc

GREAT game tonight between UT & Ohio!!! (Hook 'Em!) Anyone else surprised that Michigan lost to ND? And Iowa to Iowa State?

AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! Good genes, rare!

My advice is to get her on AirWarriors and send her over to the Private Spouses Corner.

Congratulations you all! :) I have NO advice for you Country Boy, because my husband and I are planning on waiting a few years, but I'm sure some of the PSC ladies will give some great advice to you!
