I hope they hire ones with smaller asses than the one on my flight back from leave. She had to turn sideways to make it down the aisle. I would call that a safety hazard but maybe it is diversity.

It wont hurt it, depends on waht you are doing etc. It will not make up for a low GPA or PFT score however. Honestly most of that time would be better spent running but some well rounded stuff is good too.

Sack up and go Special VFR sometime. Cloud surfing at 500 agl is a good time

That was damn funny

Interesting about the Baralt. We dont have LSOs but we all pretty much teach radalt for the boat pattern. Our LHD pad at pendleton is right on the coast so you get a 75 ft or so alt gain very quickly but that almost simulates the heihgt of the deck above the water. Im guessing you guys are...

99.9% are, there are the few exceptions that slip through the cracks but everyone knows their names quickly and they dont last long

No it was deleted for him and he is taking a "time out"

Yes, usually you operate with two radios. The front where you use the squadron callsign wiht outside agencies-boat, FAC, tower etc and the back radio that is inter-flight where you use the aircraft commanders callsign-only the guys on your flight are up this or you kick to another freq if...

I learned me something today. I had assumed they used them on the radio as well.

I think it might have been different on the green side, all our squadron plaques back to the 70s have callsigns on them.

Yeah, few professions in the world encourage juvenile behavior quite like ours.

A callsign before getting wings is kinda like cart before the horse, no?

No but I can tell you that the place is full of bad ones. I dont know how but they seem to get a hold of the recall roster and call and telly ou how they used to fly balnk for the blank and that is why you should invest with them. Beware all of them

go pills for all my friends

Let me know how that works out for you

we did it in 97

long sigggghhh. The Marine Corps will not change your personlity, it will change your habits and maybe how you view the world but so will growing up. 10 years from now you will be a different person than the guy you are in college whether you are a Marine or not. My best friends in the...

no, same stuff you ahve already built an immunity to

Well mostly. In the Cobra community you dont get one unitl you can sign for an aircraft. They are generally given out for 1-real or percieved shortcoming i.e doing something dumb 2-physical abnormality 3-play on the name i.e. I ahve not distinguished myself

All Marine pilots have them and use them. I have friends who fly Navy 53s who dont use them but I think most Navy communities use them. We use them in the air on the back radios.

I would get it and document it. I brought my civilian shot records down and saved myself about 4 shots. Even if they give you teh flu shot again you should already be immune and not get any effects.

this thread is dumb.

yeah just looked at the Remington online, that is the front runner right now.

Uhhh have you noticed a difference in gas prices between then and now?

Im going rifle shopping withym Dad tomorow. What a day my liberal tree hugging father has decided to take up hunting in his retirement and I am only too happy to go rifle shopping. Since I ma going to be deployed for both Christmas and his birthday. Looking at some .308s but maybe a .30-06

Were the crackhouses run by Midshipmen? Were there stolen car parts all over? Shot over. (No smiles but the sentiment is there)

Where to start. Pass the PFT? as in cant get a 200? If so your application will be dead in the water until that is remedied. Why is it hard to believe things from the OSO? Integrity is pretty important and he isnt going to blow sunshine up your @ss. Im guessing he wont be talking to you...

That is BS, make the ADJ do that sh!t. The Ops chief who Im guessing is a Master Guns should ditch that crap and there is no way an air shop should have that crap. All we had was command chronology and compiling AARs. Adjutants at Battalions are easily intimidated.

You mean like the USNA "thanks for not having a scandal" MUC?

JROTC= south American general style bling bling

That was damn funny

from Navy attack helos all the way to the nuclear option in 22 easy posts, talk about escallation.

ok guess it is TMS specific, it is 6174 for Hueys and 6172 for Phrogs, not sure for Sh!tters.

I think it is 6174 but if you google it Im sure it is available

You have no idea man.

Glory Days................They'll pass you by.....................Glory Days................in the wink of a young girls eye.......

Say nothing of the attrocities those guys committed while in Kuwait. i realize I am projecting much mroe competence toward those guys than they deserve but you have to assume they are retreating to reconstitute a defense somewhere donw the road so obviously you destroy them.

Yeah there are things in place where we can work with the 60 guys but there just inst enough work to justify Navy Cobras. As for the small boat threat we dont bring that much more to the table than the 60 guys already have and their FLIR is better than ours right now anyway.

Ok Im going to end discussion right here, Brett gave the warning but the temptation is too great. This is too close to the OPSEC line.

They are jsut having fun taking a common joke to its limits. Teh academy produces great officers and not so great officers just like every other commisioning source. The Naval Academy is a great deal for lots of guys other paths are right for others. keep doing what youa re doing if that is...

I almost broke my no smiles rule, I almost borrowed Fly's lauging icon.

But then again "The Chief is just really nice" I dont think Ive ever heard that sentence uttered before but I do have limited exposure to Chiefs.

wow so we have a whole thread devoted to the firewatch medal?

Maybe it was a donation to the Human Fund?

Hardly ever seen that it is usually best of friends going fisticuffs then not remembering any of it the next morning. Once in a while you stack a major or two. Then everyone chips in to pay the damage to the Yuma Q.

Only brawls I have seen is everyone at one time or another against the F-15 guys at Kadena. Intramural brawls are usually behind closed doors after K courts etc.

i can see the 2507s and 29 Palms and the Goldwater range complex and other garden spots, cool video

Congrats, now contribute something to help the next guy.

Way too important to fall into such rigid categories.

Im on pre-deployment leave, havent heard yet but I figure I will know soon. Once I know what is up I will share waht I can (dont expect much). I'm pretty sure I knew them whoever it was and it sucks. Ramadi is a bad neighborhood I think it needs a falujah style remodeling.
