Now, easy there cowboy...I had enough problems learning the T-34 that I was scared ****less going rotary-wing...so it was my last choice. I was PRAYING that my NSS was good enough that'd they'd send me C-2/E-2 (knowing this is the "less desired" tailhooker). Alas, they sent me helos and I'm...

Actually, to back this up, I did hear that you have a better chance of flying if you go Naval Aviation and based on my friends who went both USAFA and AFROTC, this is probably true.

I was quoting...without quoting. I apologize. I knew I read that somewhere b4 :o

Remember to enjoy your childhood too...but I'd say you're a pretty good candidate. Don't do things for other people...otherwise you'll soon realize that you're living THIER dreams...not yours. Just my 2 sense. ~D

High School branch of the Kiwanis Club. Community Service group that was always loaded with hot chicks in our school. ~D

I read your other posts, so I know what you're asking. I'd say neither and both...I didn't apply for the academy, but one of my HS classmates did. He was an eagle scout. I know that that specifically gave you "points" on your application, but there are many other areas. If you don't do...

My best friend has the idea that these type of conspiracy theories are true. Either way, this jacka$$ going to military funerals is going to spark some sort of violence and that's what the courts should address...not free speech - like yelling "Fire" in crowded theater is not free speech.

Hell while you're looking at it, look at VMI, Citidel, Norwich, VT/TA&M Corps of Cadets. All are the same "Type" of commissioning program with a military background...(IMHO "academy" with out recognition except by own alums) Also don't think that getting into NROTC is any easier. It's just...

How did I know that you'd have to throw in something and that'd it be EXACTLY that. As for my own reply: The Navy pays you well, sometimes better than other times, but especially once you deploy. ESPECIALLY if you are DINKs (Dual Income No Kids) the key for my wife is doing something she...

Indeed, MMA. Anywho, Steve...my point was showing that some aviators don't only excell in the cockpit. CAPT Lupton is certainly a character and a mentor in my community of cargo haulin' and SAR hole-burning. ~D

And the Comanche isn't coming along anymore. MH-60S and MH-60R. True to it's MULTIMISSION capabilities. And to emphasize a previous point...keep an open mind and focus on the SERVICE aspect of being an aviator...whether it's haulin' the fleet's $hit or dropping serious firepower...

I'll take "Things NOT to post on Facebook/myspace" for $500 Alex. :)

Red Leader's bio CAPT Lupton (and current JFK XO) was the guest speaker at my winging...important part below: "He is the recipient of the Commander Naval Surface Forces U.S. Pacific Fleet Shiphandler of the Year Award" Put that in your SWO crack pipe and smoke it!:D Sorry for the...

I'm not a math major, but I'm pretty sure you may want to go to a CPA when you do this year's taxes ;)

Rep points for reminding us that service is just that: service. Nothing against people that decide it's not for them as long as they SERVE the rest of the time they said they'd give. Just like being a reservist now-a-days...it's not just free money.

All aviators getting out.

It looked like only 52 of the 99 polled were "eligible" to be included...so I'm thinking that some people who didn't do it were either too busy (surprise surprise) or didn't give 2 $hits. D

Got this from my skipper...Interesting PPT on Aviation Retention Poll Results. The Excel spreadsheet is open ended comments added to the poll...

I still gave you rep points for wanting to be like me... ;)

Becoming like Retread...http://www.billybear4kids.com/Learn2Draw/sheets/penguin.gif "I kid, because I care..." -Brett

[cringing]Ouch...

DOH! Sorry...

Classic...enjoy. http://ebaumsworld.com/2006/01/barebacktopgun.html

[/softball] Don't go SWO. I'm sorry!! I couldn't resist.

And on the 6th day, the webmasters created the ASTB Thread and noted how beautiful it was...all questions could be answered within...

Nah..they keep flight quarters, which means overtime for them, which cuts into the Master's bonus...so he just takes it out on you later...when he asks why the VERTREP took so long. And of course you can't say "Well, sir, your crew knew it was 3PM (1500??? What's that?) and they would get...

How can I take the "President of Cartoonists" as a legitimate politicist? "Maybe they should provide the body armor soldiers need to help avoid the sort of injury shown in the cartoon."....and maybe, sir, you should provide the useless cartoon that you expect everyone to see into as nothing...

As long as he wasn't supporting christian ideals and believed in evolution (only) too...

Never underestimate the inefficiency of the American court system...

Is he on myspace/facebook?

Concur with this one. There isn't a civil attorney alive who wouldn't take this one if what you say is indeed true...screw the criminal case since the DA that would prosecute it sounds like the public defender from "My Cousin Vinny"...

Well, according to my FITREPS, the keyboard is even mighter than the pen. I kid. Sort of.

It's all getting so much clearer...

You think, maybe, we should tell that to these guys??? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060202/ap_on_re_mi_ea/prophet_drawings

Well, not all USNS vessels have Pumas on board yet...I was deployed aboard the USNS Supply (T-AOE-6) from Jan - Jul 2004 and one of my squadron's detachments are aboard USNS Mt. Baker for a few more months. The Pumas are controlled by Evergreen Helicopters out of Oregon. Flown by...

Sent via email from fellow wardroom officer. It outraged me, but made me proud of my bosses too ;) Anyone still pissed that it's STILL availible on the public domian? Drop an email or 7 ... letters@washpost.com

Washington Post Political? Cartoon...and our Joint Chiefs' reaction to it. Bravo. Rumor is that it has been processed and will be printed tomorrow (2FEB). ~D

The only thing better than the Mach3 is Oceans Barbershop, in Bahrain...unfortunally I haven't mastered the straight blade and have to revert.

I think Brett has become one with his avatar. Epistemology, from the Greek words episteme (knowledge) and logos (word/speech) is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature, origin and scope of knowledge...I don't even get that statement. PRESS BELOW:

Just don't crash and burn, Mav...

Yes, it does. The closing costs are usually mostly paid for by the buyer. If you are looking to sell when you get orders than you'll probably have sunk 6-7 grand in creating loans that you'll pay back when you sell. Depends on what you'd do with the money. Sinking money into a home has...

Where you really war criminal #69?

Yeah, not a big fan of the face leech though...and the t-6 needs to get some beefier landing gear to hang in Naval Aviation...I hear they've been having recurrent LG incidents at NAS PCola...

uhhhh...y retake? Isn't 8/9/8 GTG? Shite, I didn't do that good. ~D

I don't care what Brett says...you sound much like my wife (always covering my A$$ when I'm too lazy too ;) and I like ya! Here's to the toughest job in the Navy, ~D

...which for those scoring at home...is not that disturbing :D

Jesus...all I know is I don't care about the IRS...unless Kathy is working for them!!!!

I don't think that I'll ruin my career...but I would definitly take it down when I deploy/fly near combat zones...you don't want your family info on there if you are taken as POW...ahhh SERE in me. Either way...act like an officer (not like this guy, **WARNING POSSIBLE THREAD JACK) and don't...

I'm not adding you until you add me on myspace ;) It's very scary the amount of info that they are putting online, but I have found a few old friends are on myspace... ~D

I'd say living on a carrier...for those who don't have to do it, we hate going when we go. Maybe because I'm not even SAR support for them ;) The work-up cycles and travelling is also intense, but I wouldn't consider this a down side...in fact, I don't even think my wife does either :D
