Yet, one Naval Academy senior design project I saw was basically a revamped "Facebook" to explore connections between terrorists. Each terrorist would have a profile... it would show friends and etc in an easy to use interface. Also I have seen Google Earth to help plan flight routes...

Exactly, there is no magical 'transformation' in which you are suddenly infused with Leadership. Its hard work. The analogy I draw is that the Academy offers you a more diverse and bigger variety of tool set to get the job done than other sources. You still have to sweat, toil and bleed like...

Exactly!! Hide one under the bed In your cell phone! Under the desk On your baby As a codpiece! The possibilities are endless. :D /end Threadjack

So does this mean I have to go buy an ar-15 RIGHT NOW to get grandfathered in? Would be a nice excuse :D

I dont doubt it and it could just be an intel thing, but I just know while working in TW-4 student control all the Attrites and DOR's filing though that was never brought up . Plus I did not have to sign any paper along those lines. But I didn't DOR, I attrited and have more than a year left on...

Negative, both the DOR's and Attrites do not have to sign new commitments with redesignations, just finish off your 4/5 or whatever it was initially. It might be a possibility but I have not seen it happen or implemented.

:eek: Its good to be the pilot :D

YES PLEASE!!:D Best dive of my life. Better we keep flying the American flag on it... even if it does get a bit soggy:icon_wink

Thanks for all the replys but I believe I need to clarify. I have rental insurance with USAA. However, I will not allow them to install new hardware to a sink that breaks a week later and try to blame us with it. The added insult of declaring we should BOTH claim it with BOTH insurances is...

Short and dirty I have been issues with my Landlord does base legal help with this? Longer story: I sent in my rent check 5 days early to office, as I do, and on the 7th (normally on the first) realize it has not been cashed. I go in to the office to ask. They say they do not know one way or...

http://www.mda.mil/mdalink/images/img_2850.jpg So THATS what that is.... I just kept calling it the "Death Star" while giving directions around the base. +1 rep True, blowing up satellites in orbit sends debris everywhere. Hence why a terminal Satellites is so great. The debris wont...

Have anyone besides the US used pin up girls as Nose/Art?

:D It is a one tour thing, not a career path in of itself and lots of what you do will not be like the movies. What is going on now will probably change by the time you are a senior LT and could do this.

Thanks nugget but I already saw that after my search and it didnt help Im overseas. Oahu counts :D but that answered my question. Thanks!

I was looking at my LES and saw a mix up. My BAH was Negative. I am trying to figure out the mix up for when I talk to PSD. I got here Late Dec and was in BOQ til Jan 26 getting TLA. I rented a place Jan 16 though I didnt get to move in til the 25th. So can I get TLA and BAH at the same time...

For some perspective about 1/6 of my classmates in my company had a year of college before going to USNA. Its not a big deal. Many of them did better than I did too :eek: I could have validated a class but decided not to and retook it. Easy A, good review, and gave me time to study my rates...

The gouge I was hearing was to get every problem looked out when you get out. Even if its 0% disability, get 0% documented. it could get worse as you get older and then increase to the new condition ie: broken hand heals 0% disability but 2 years after you retire you lose mobility and they...

Im curious on why? The lines between restricted line and unrestricted line are blurry as it is. Everyone gets the same paycheck. Everyone performs a mission critical to the US. I fail to see how a name change will impact the community.

http://www.hometownannapolis.com/cgi-bin/read/2008/01_17-30/NAV It seems that a "limited" number of mids will be allowed to climb Herndon. :eek:

Could backfire... Kidding aside... they have been doing weird things to get more money

Ok in all fairness I got a great deal at the Academy. I sang here http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/703/img0772sj5.jpg Meet people I never thought I would http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/4734/img0857ha4.jpg and all I had to do was endure through a few bad things I would...

We might be fanatical but just let us enjoy our team's accomplishments. Even if they are strange, and meager in your eyes. I enjoyed the bowl game. I was really hoping at the end though.

It does not look like it comes with a 22 barrel. I would always recommend a 22 for your first gun.

Agreed. I have also already had one of the enlisted get hit by a truck in a crosswalk because of irresponsible underage drinking. His schooling is delayed, and his classmates who didn't help him are moving on to undesignated rates. Binge drinking isn't an Academy only problem. Every college...

or try out flying and if it doesnt work transfer...

I have had no problems with the interface. Super easy to use. Visual voice mail is excellent, text messaging is like being at a real keyboard, and a REALLY useful feature is the merge call to make conference calls for your phone. My calls are crystal clear. The internet lets me quickly find...

Thanks for all the advice. I guess I will just need a good realtor and I will be set. So if anyone has any advice on those :D

His movie premiers after turkey day... you havent seen the posters?

Well not everything is treatable...

I heard this but I am having trouble finding a place where I can look for these. I keep seeing sites which offer to give you information on foreclosed houses but they look like they are just trying to get a quick buck scammed out of me by paying $29.99/month for their database search...

hmm that is an extra 400 a month... which means I would have a larger price range of homes...

So as I venture out into the world to buy my first house at my first 3 year duty station. I would like to get some advice from the forum because I know several of you own homes on Oahu. I did alot of research and came up with the following plan. I will soon be a LTjg and BAH would be...

I like the gravity trap myself. I caught two with this cheap method at the academy. I hate killing them, its an invaluable asset to be used. I would much rather catch them and put them to use playing tricks on people. Throw them in ready rooms during briefs or put in sims or in people's...

These same things could be said for service dress khakis. The sea bag expense issue wouldnt seem to be a problem because there are so many other uniforms in the same category.... service dress blue yankee, tropical khakis or tropical whites. That doesnt take into account various dinner dress...

Correct, but little Reggie sure did. I wish i had the picture of him standing at the coin toss. The size difference between him and the Notre Dame players looks like it would be the start of a bad SNL skit.

We got game...

I had a friend who attrited with an engineering major. They snatched him up without an interview or anything. From what I understand as of 5 months ago they really needed people. This was after we were out of school for over a year. However, the job market is constantly changing...

I am also very interested in getting an online Master's Degree... my clearence keeps getting delayed/ hit by tornadoes so now seems as good a time as any.

"Mr. President, if I may speak freely, the Russkie talks big, but frankly, we think he's short of know-how. I mean, you just can't expect a bunch of ignorant peons to understand a machine like some of our boys. And that's not meant as an insult, Mr. Ambassador, I mean, you, you take your average...

My understanding being... you can "do" the job without any special treatment. Other people who receive special treatment piss you off and make A4s weep for the future. UNLESS congress, CNO, or whomever gets paid to make the big bucks says "make the percentage go up"... when this happens I...

The paracourse... is like a mini obstacle course by the Officers Club on the right. There are several events each of which present a "par" from streching, to situps, and a balace beam. Dont go expecting anything like huge walls or rope climbs. I do like the long trail run that goes off it and...

Ah the PV-2. My grandfather was a gunner's mate on one. I received this for X-mas. Its about the size of a pocket natops however, pictures, its hard cover, has color diagrams, and even how to perform simple maintenance. To save bandwidth while allowing some reading to occur... the...

What was your first clue?

I would be a bad person if I spread around the pictures from your wedding... I couldnt resist...

Of course... and here is a picture of myself in uniform for your amusement

I was amazed how often I heard the "dont work out and eat junk food to raise blood pressure" for G tolerance. To me it always sounded like students wanting to make themselves an excuse to be lazy...

Ask for help early on if you need it, do not fall behind, try to do assignments in class and get plenty of sleep. I found if I had a hard set time to go to sleep I wouldnt piss away all my time and stay up til 2 a.m. doing homework and then falling asleep in class.
