Sure, or major in professional flight and minor in whatever you feel like. Honestly, it is your choice and don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise. Some people say that a professional flight degree is worthless, blah blah blah.... If you want to fly, be it for the Navy, corporate, or...

Call again and talk to someone else....

Fixed it for you...you're welcome.

Then you've been talking to the wrong guys because all my friends that went through 27, myself included, had a great time there. I think the score's about 10-1 now....

Did you just tell him to keep pushing and then condradict yourself by saying he should sandbag?:confused: WTF? Give it your all or go home.... OCS is a game, but like Masterbates said - don't try to game the game--especially when you don't know how the game is played (which you don't at the...

Then you just haven't read far enough back....I mean, geez...the site is only 7 or 8 years old now. There's not that much stuff to read through. It's the same 88 questions asked eleventy-billion times over :D

Usually that happens after they surpass the 999th hour.;)

"Sorry, the video you are trying to watch is not available in your region." Apparently I need to be a little closer to Canada to see it...

No, I haven't seen any of those reindeer games since Primary. If you get an unsat here, it's because you earned it. ;)

PC for home, but iPhone for travel....

Does the rule of three apply to boats, excuse me, ships as well?

That it is. The tightening of credit in the US leads to higher interest rates (because it is assumed that there is more risk involved, and interest is based on the amount of risk) and to stricter guidelines. 2.99% is still a killer deal on any loan for that amount.

Ok, so you clearly haven't done much reading on the program, so I'll nudge you in the right direction: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=42&page=1&pp=25&sort=lastpost&order=desc&daysprune=365 http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14265...

One trick I've found when dealing with this type of situation is to hang up and call right back until you get someone who tells you what you want to hear. Seriously, it works (which says a lot about the consistency of customer service.)

But some people have been in for three years and are still just an ENS...;) (doesn't happen often from what I hear)

In which case you'll put it on while climbing to 10K', unless you're flying solo (you have to wear it from startup to shutdown.)

Just saw a commercial about a similar event aboard the Lexington in Corpus on 6 Feb....the 16th Annual Stage Door Canteen Looks like a good time!! Any other Corpus/K-rock peeps going?

Just like anything else in life, it's all about what you make of the situation. If you want to miserable in Meridian or K-rock, you will be. If you want to have a good time, you can do that too. Sometimes the delays in training are nice, sometimes you just want to fly already. Just roll with...

I've dealt with getting deposits back numerous times from various apartment complexes (never dealt with a property management firm for a house though.) Much of this information is more useful before you move in, as it requires a very proactive method to the madness that is deposit...

That's a whole other thread completely (and I don't think there was a conclusive verdict either way.) I got the Brooks Brothers and haven't worn SDB's since OCS Graduation, but I still thought the BB's looked and felt better. As for pay, to echo above, it is a great idea to have some money...

No. Tom & I were both BDCP and it worked the same for both of us....just as it will for you. If you're getting BDCP money, there's no reason for you to have an empty savings account.

You'll want to show up 100%, because you won't be as OCS progresses. I fought off bronchitis midway through the program and was even able to stay with my class. However, it didn't heal up completely and I ended up with walking pnuemonia by the time graduation came. Know when to suck it up and...

Hopefully you don't need them by then since your eyes should be creating their own tears normally again. However, once a day will be no big deal for you so long as you use the drops discreetly (like in the bathroom).

Because it was dark out....duh :rolleyes:

Probably....he's been out of K-rock for a few months now...

Tell me that wouldn't make your heart skip a beat or two.... Good stuff starts at about 0:40 sec.... http://break.com/index/jet-pilot-freaks-out-over-planes-shadow.html?matchid=

About the same here...

I've seen a couple of broken ones at Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ. There's no way they fly but one could hope that there's enough spare parts to make a flyable OV.

Ok, that's one way to look at it, but it's definitely the wrong way. Sure it has happened (one morning we had a guy roll into our class from H and that same morning he rolled back into H because our DI said that he didn't have the motivation to make it in our class), but you can't worry about...

Another couple: 1. A set of twins that came through here a few months back were called Mary-Kate & Ashley. I doubt either of the guys liked it... 2. TOTO - Trapped On Take Off - short version of the story - a stud pulled back on the stick too hard and too early on takeoff and caught the...

Ok Junkball....here's the deal. You want SNA, but you need PRK to get it. GET THE PRK. So what if you have to reapply? If you were selected once, chances are you'll get picked up again. Time is on your side. What's more important to you? Getting the position you want in the Navy or...

Sorta. Pro-rec, PRK, Waiver recommended, final select. 2005 timeframe. You won't get your waiver until OCS or API.

I also did the three month thing....so it can be done.

Know that checkrides aren't just evaluating your skills, but are opportunities to learn. You WILL make mistakes. Don't let them ruin your flight. Just keep pressing on and learn from the whole experience.

My advice from above still applies. Your recruiter NEEDS to be in the loop. Can you get PRK? Absolutely. You are still a civilian until you sign on the dotted line. Are you entitled to have the Navy hold your slot for you? No. They may say that you need to apply all over again. Talk to your...

You'll likely be older than your same-ranked peers (heck even I'm one of the oldest 0-1's in my squadron at 27), but that's neither here nor there. Don't worry about it. Work hard and do your best.

You know what else works wonders -- yelling at the top of your lungs while running (like a cadence). In fact, if you go around yelling at the top of your lungs day in and day out for 9 weeks straight, I guarantee that you will improve your next PRT run time. Do the same with pushups -- yell...

Commando Coalfire Palin And for my wife....Taupe Armageddon Palin

Not just a loan--a loan he didn't get! "The human torch was denied a loan today...":D

I really don't understand what the big issues are here. They ask for certain things and you provide them. In return, they provide the loan to you. Sounds like a simple enough transaction; and it was this simple two and half years ago when I got the loan. Problems? Contact your recruiter for...

I'm 6'2" and just barely fit (sitting height) in the T-45 anthro-wise. Unless you're abnormal proportionally then you shouldn't have much to worry about.

Ran across this interesting video of a Boeing 720b being demolished....kinda reminds me of ants eating a dragonfly or something http://break.com/index/boeing-720b-demolition1_1.html?matchid=

See, look at that. USAA always seems to go above and beyond, and that's why I've used them for everything.....including the comissioning loan at 2%!

You'll find that the Navy is huge into changing how something is done and then changing it back a few years later. Just take a look at the Tailhook selection thing....;)

New space race perhaps? Anyone? Anyone? Probably just wishful thinking....

The answer to all three questions is NO. Do BDCP....seriously.

I used Jeppesen, but that's only because I didn't know about americanflyers.net. It cost about the same, but that same fee applies every two years. No mando study time though. It's alot like CAI's where you can click through all the slides and just pass the test for each block.

Two words -- Complacency and Stupidity. I was watching a Houston news broadcast (not sure why it shows up on my satellite, but that's neither here nor there) and they interviewed some people waiting in line for FEMA handouts. One family stated that they didn't want to leave because when they...

Short answer: NO....unless you're an NFO, then it depends. Wait until primary.

I'm with Matt on this one. It's not like a credit card bill where it needs to be there by a specific date or you get penalties like crazy. You put in your application when it's done and they look at it when they can. It's out of your hands by that point. Hurry up and wait....get used to it.
