Funny you should say that... I'm putting in a lateral x-fer package for EDO to the June board.

Working on iPad.

42 is the wrong answer, as evidenced by the fact that we still exist. If it were the correct answer, then the question and answer would be known simultaneously, causing the known universe to wink out of existence and be replaced my something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

Brett, lets hope you never have to buy me that beer. Although there are 7 reasons I can think of where you could buy me beer... And they all end in "day".

You've met me in person... Do I look like someone who learns easily?

Yes, they will. In fact, even after all of that, I'm taking the plunge again. Moral of the story is think those things out and make sure you are on the same page as the other person. The three good things that came out of it are, in order: 1. Mini-Bubba 2. The girl I'm going to marry, and I'll...

Had nothing to do with the contract or that you're IRR right now. And no rules broken, and no ban in your future for this thread. It's a bit of an inside joke marinated and some people's (including mine) personal experiences. It wasn't aimed at you. And I truly do wish nothing but the best for...

And I'm waiting for this thread to take it's normal course.... Regardless of how this thread devolves, I'll say do it when the time is right for you when the leave, training sched and all that align. Now cue MB and Brett...

The Deid? I put a plug in for Doha.

I'll agree with this one. Spent 2 weeks in Busan last fall. Had a good time, but I'll be fine not to go again.

Left handed NFO, wear the kneeboard on my right knee. Easier to write with. Also kept me from elbowing the pilot.

So I've never had a real "port call", but I have gotten to stop in Sicily and the Azores a few times. Sicily: Stay in Catania. It'll be a little pricey, but its well worth it. That's where all of the night life is, as well as one of the main train stations, so its easy to get to most of the...

Looks like I need to brush up on my Book of Armaments readings...

So if hater hate, and helicopters helicopt, one must assume that plopters plopt? Yeah... doesn't sound as cool.

I'm glad we could all get a laugh out of my misfortune and bad decision. But you've both got it wrong. Rub the ring and 3 things happen: 1. Your bank accounts get somehow much smaller. 2. Your lawyer's bank account gets somehow bigger.

It's not exactly a plane, it's not exactly a helicopter... it's something completely different! It's a Plopter! What else are we going to call it? I'm open to suggestion. I guess I'll have to stop calling the Prowler an Electric Drumstick... Ok... I'm being an ass... but I did rather get a kick...

I flew with a $12 Timex I got from WalMart that has a second time function. Served me well over 2 deployments and a set of work-ups. It took all of the 4G pulls the Electric Drumstick could throw my way. Never worried about scratching the face or anything, and its got a few scratches on it...

Don't know about the STA-21 Academy option... However, if you do end up on the banks of the Severn, it will be for 4 years. The Naval Academy doesn't accept transfer credits. However, you will have the opportunity to test out of certain classes at points during your stay at USNA. It won't count...

I saw the notice... don't remember it specifying which service they belonged to. But then I just skim it for the type to see if it's something I want to leave my desk for.

No new phone yet, but I have read the charter for the IPT that is charged with determining the strategic implementations and integration of mobile devices into NMCI and future architectures and enterprise solutions... F-- I've been at the Pentagon too long...

I refuse to use Internet Exploder unless I'm on Non-Mission Capable Intranet. Chrome it is then...

Same.

Web-San, I dropped a post over in the Forum Glitches thread. I had a similar problem last night when trying to post a new thread using Firefox. I didn't dick around with any properties like the OP did, but just cut my losses and used Internet Exploder. I got the exact same screen that the OP...

Gotcha. Thanks for the gouge.

I still get the buttons. What I'm not getting on the post new thread screen is the text box.

Out of curiosity, were there sny of you in the division of Plopters that overflew 5-sided Hell this morning, around 1015 or so local? Don't know if they were Marine or Air Force Plopters.

Is anyone else having issues starting a new thread using Firefox? Not all of the text entry boxes show up...

Donated. Thank you for leaving the link open an extra day.

Thanks, phrog

phrog, If you can hold until the 29th, I'm in.

Isn't that why God invented VFR right after He invented aircraft?

It'll be interesting to watch, none the less.I do agree that there won't be too much of a "power struggle". There's an image to protect, and nK will do what it feels necessary to protect that image. My favorite quote in all of this was Kim Jong Un's former "classmate": "He was a good guy...

We have that in the Prowler too... annoying.

I figured. I just wanted an excuse to say "Battle Phrog"

Chinook? Umm... BattlePhrog!

Awesome pics.

This was stated in another thread, but I'll say it again. There exists, in the Southwestern US, a high approach who's IAF is "FANNY" I'm in a T-6, about 15 minutes in trail of a fellow student when I hear his voice "Center, BUCK XX requesting direct FANNY", to which a very sexy sounding female...

You're right... I'm not completely surrounded by hinges...

Hinges... Surrounded by damn dirty hinges... I suddenly feel like the smartest guy in the room.

Brett, You can move them either way you see fit. Which ever seems more logical.

Something MasterBates posted earlier in his "Last flight in the Navy" thread got me thinking... So here it is: Total Hours: 1005.2 Prowler Hrs: 824.5 Last flight in the Navy: 30 June 2011. EA-6B BuNo 158815 First flight in the Navy: 30 May 2006. T-6A BuNo 165996 Oldest BuNo: 158030 (EA-6B, 5.8...

I think it may be an over estimate. I like to give myself more credit than is due sometimes.

Funny thing is that actually happened to me... choices, in order: Navy Pilot, Navy NFO, USMC NFO, SWO. The letter said SWO, and I did what phrog's classmates did, and I suggest you do the same. Beer makes everything better. One thing to mention is that between now and when you graduate, things...

Awesome. Good luck. (In other words: Hoo-Rah RRR Yut yut kill)

Echo everything phrogpilot said about USNA. In addition to the formal courses: Naval Leadership and the practicum course, leadership is also taught through the ethic program as well. My experience wasn't that the ethics courses taught ethics, but more armed Midshipmen with the tools and...

P3 FO, RLSO basically said exactly what my answer to your questions would have been. There was ZERO bad blood between my skipper and I. All of the appropriate actions were taken prior to the FNAEB, including the required counseling and HFB's.

The plan right now is to submit a lateral transition package to the June 2012 board for Information Warfare. Until then, I'll be flying a desk at the Pentagon. Beyond that, I'll keep submitting packages until I get picked up for something. Figure after the second try, I'll check the box for...

Glad the crew got out.

To clarify for those of you who are not familiar with the acronyms: FNAEB: Field Naval Aviator Evaluation Board. HFB: Human Factors Board. This happens when your squadron identifies some personal issues that may affect your flying. This, too, is purely administrative in nature. The idea is to...

PART 3: My FNAEB I was recommended for a FNAEB for failing to get my mission commander qual. Many of you know about my divorce and some of the issues that stemmed from it, and that I'm still fighting it. Basically, I let my personal life get too much in the way of me flying and doing what I...
