Couch to 5k worked for me. Get the podcasts, they are pretty cool. I went from barely able to run a half mile to doing 5ks a few months later.

First step is to find an officer recruiter. Find the Navy Recruiting District for your area and get in touch with an OR in that area. The more info you have going in the smarter you'll look. You'll take the ASTB and if the score is good, you'll put the application package together and submit to...

There's lots of good gouge in the ASTB section regarding study materials for the test. That should get you headed in the right direction. Good on you for having goals and working on your problems. 90% of us weren't perfect either, but it's how we grow that defines us. If you've truly grown...

I too built up a DPMS AR lower and added a DPMS upper. No issues so far @ ~1000 rds. Admittedly I don't take super good care of it, but I also don't use it that hard.

It burned down? No way. It's alive and kicking as of a few weeks ago. Alas, haven't been since I got back from the Det.

The Pelican on Padre Island. If you come here, you too will be disappointed by it.

I too had pretty high BP in college. Eating healthier (low fat, high protein, lots of fruit/veggies) over the long term helped the most. Salt and Caffeine are big players too. Try to limit to one caffeinated beverage a day. In terms of salt, I cook a lot, so I'm not afraid of salt, but I...

Wiki says that's the -8I or Intercontinental. Longer upper section. The -8 Freight has already flown.

I sense a trend here...

Re: The video of the F-14 ejection that recovered after they punched out. We saw that in API Aero. We were told that after the flat spins started to be an issue, the Navy went to Grumman and asked them to build a recovery system that did funky stuff with the control surfaces to facilitate a...

Yes. Try not to suck.

"Raven" technically, but affectionately referred to as the "Spark Vark"

Word on the street from my buddies who took it is the only thing cut will be the Day/Night Nav flights at the moment. They're being double/triple pumped through RI sims and flights to get them to Whiting South ASAP.

Worth the ~5 mins it takes to boot up CITRIX and TIMS? We used it on the Det, not exactly a speed demon from offsite. My time is more valuable than that. I know what event I'll probably have the next day, just not the time. "Sweet" is then when the schedule rolls out online at 6ish and I...

There's nothing a student needs TIMS at home for

I'm a watch nut too, don't get me wrong. I just have a love/hate with Breitling's looks to begin with, they seem to do limited editions for pretty much anyone.

I seem to remember getting it more than once...

The Island or out the back gate are the two popular options. Have heard of a few dudes living "downtown" in lofts, but kinda rare. And in all honesty, the downtown here sucks. At least you could go out in PCola downtown and find some fun. Here, not so much. For the Island, had friends...

The NEX gives you a discount on first day's purchases (20% I think?) if you open a credit line with them that most people in OCS put all their uniforms on. I paid it off a month or two after I got out. Part of being an Officer is buying your own seabag. You get a small yearly uniform...

Am I the only one who thinks "limited edition" Breitlings aren't that limited?

Pretty sure Austin Powers' jet was modeled after this...

Some people call me a Xenophobe. The truth is, I just think America is better than all the other countries. That used to be called patriotism. -Kenny Powers
