    Letter of intent for WOFT recommendations?

    There's a WOFT dude or two around here, but this is generally a Navy joint. Might wanna try here: http://www.kiowapilots.com

    Naval Flight Gear WW2/1950's

    Leather Jackets = Money Loved the shot of the ENS with ~20 bombing missions under his belt. Incomprehensible to me, but awesome none the less.

    IPad ... quo vadis ???

    It's safe to say iOS 5 is coming soon. Usually there's the developer event around this time of the year to preview, and it's released along with the new iPhones in July. Free update to everyone. Meanwhile, my roommate with a brand new Droid X has the previous version of Android. He probably...

    IPad ... quo vadis ???

    New iPads are announced! http://www.apple.com/ipad/ Took all I had not to bust out the credit card this afternoon and spend my perdiem check before it comes. Just want to see what iOS 5 looks like. I think a lot of the cool new stuff will revolve around that. Only so much you can do with...

    Wait time after API to Corpus

    You're entitled to the 4 (I think?) days of travel. Checking in early will limit the money the govt is giving you to travel. However, getting to Corpus early and staying with a buddy while you house/apartment shop might be a decent idea. Check in on the day they give you on your orders at the...

    In OCS, stil awaiting a NAMI letter so I can get my orders.

    Welcome to the Navy, where buying plane tickets early will always cause you to get extended, and waiting until the last minute when prices are highest results in ops normal.

    Things to do in Newport?

    My only suggestion is Handy Lunch. Awesome place for breakfast. I gotta say, Newps was a beautiful town when I got out and about. That being said, I spent as little time there as humanly possible. After graduation, I ate lunch at the Brick Pizza place and then hauled ass outta town.

    Navy Pilots getting MBA

    Equally shitty as the other three. RE: MBA Programs I've said it here before, but I'll reiterate. I used to work for General Electric. We were told from day one about MBAs: There are "Real" MBAs from a ranked and rated programs and there are "Check in the Box" MBAs from everywhere else...

    Navy Pilots getting MBA

    Considering the the late night choices are IHOP, Dennys, or Wafflehouse at 3am (in the South), not a bad choice. But it's really a "Which sucks least?" question.

    Navy Working Uniform Type II and III - finally something sailors can wear....

    Yup, it replaces almost all the working uniforms including wash khaki (aka working khaki), SWOveralls, and, most sadly, Aviation Working Greens. Your standard uniform fare for aviation will be flight suits 95% of the time (and related gear to include Nomex Jacket, Leather Jacket, and some of...

    SNFO to SNA

    That does kind of suck. However, considering the pressure SNAs have been at API academics wise, I don't blame him for not purposely tanking a few questions to hook this dude up. What if he miscalculates and ends up on the outside looking in?

    Wait time after API to Corpus

    It ebbs and flows so variable is a good answer. I had a week notice that I was going to Corpus, told I would have no time off once I got here. Then I was at TW-4 for 4 weeks.

    Automobile to Newport?

    You can drive it there and park it while you're at training. You won't be able to use it while in training for the first 8ish weeks. If you get authorized off base liberty, usually POV use is acceptable then. I recommend Providence or Boston as the chance of seeing instructors/staff is...

    API to Primary Wait - Whiting

    Trust me, YMMV throughout the TRACOM. Even within squadrons, there will be people who are about to complete and others in their same class still in Contacts. It happens. Edit, to add to the above, just show up when you're told and be prepared. Everything else is out of your hands.

    2 weeks sounds about right. I got mine the day I was leaving, but I'm special. Not in a good way. Make sure you stay in contact with you OR throughout the process.

    You can request an accelerated syllabus in Primary too, but I'd say you'd be stupid to do that. Don't hide your flight time, but no one can make you take the accelerated.

    OCS - IFS - API Timeline

    It's next to impossible to attrite for swim. If you are struggling, you go on swim hold and you get to fix it. Study however much you need to (everyone is different, the numbers they throw out are rough guidelines), put in the effort, and things will work out.

    Navy OCS questions..help please!

    Wow. That's almost impossible. ASVAB is out of 100 like a somewhat normal test. ASTB is based on a bell curve, with 50 being the mean score. I got a 66 and that was like 95th Percentile.
