I guess I should have said, "No other service is going to operate two versions of the F-35; why should we?" Plus, I'm guessing there is much more difference between the F-35 A/B/C and the H-60 B/F/H/R/S. I mean, it's not like one can't land on a boat, only one can land vertically and only one...

The F-14B didn't have a lift fan and do the whole VTOL thing.

What happened to Harvest Hawk?

If you want to fly off the boat, why not go Navy? It's what they do.

There was always "that guy" who asked the stupid questions during the Legal lectures at TBS. Congratulations Booger, you at least have the ability to know that you are that guy. Hopefully you can change that.

Why do Marines needs to buy C models? The Marine Corps doesn't get much out of a Squadron that is part of a CAG in our MAGTF. Some old guys around here have enlightened us that the Marine Corps presence on carriers is pretty much because the Navy wants more squadrons but doesn't want to pay for...

Harriers have expeditionary value as well. Look at Bagram in 2002-2003. We needed fixed wing air assets there, but at that time Bagram only had a short amount of usable runway. The Harrier can use that runway and be successful (so can the A-10). If even at the high altitude it couldn't land...

PFT>--- Where you do pullups, crunches and run 3 miles?

Saying you want to do ANGLICO because you want to go to jump school is like saying you want to be an Aviator because you want to go to API and do the helo dunker...

But you forget that all the great movie "sequels" were actually part of a series of movies that were intended from day 1 to be part of a (mostly 3) film series. Godfather, Star Wars, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones (the 4th was the true sequel, and sucked), Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy...

Good point to learn here is that at MEPS if you write something you had better have the documentation to go along with it. Case in point, I was born with a double hernia. It was repaired when I was 2 months old. The surgeon who did the repair died 15 years ago. I still spent over a month...

"Hey ENS why are you med down with a broken jaw for 3 months?" "Because I wore a half shield rather than a cage..." Seriously dude? You're willing to jeopardize your flying career for a freaking beer league hockey game? I see way more injuries to guys wearing no or only 1/2 facial protection...

We had a 96 for Memorial day, Independence Day, and Labor Day. We had a 72 for Columbus Day. My roommates went to Vegas for Labor Day. I went to NYC for Memorial Day.

http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php/152880-Origin-of-the-80kt-crosscheck-and-the-Jay-Beasley-legacy I searched 80 knots. It was on the top of the 2nd page...

You'll get a comprehensive physical by a flight surgeon. Most people go to NOMI in Pensacola. You're nuking it. Don't worry about it.

I'm a referee in the area. The games are refereed. As far as getting your skates sharpened goes that performance machining is the only local place I know of. Haven't taken my skates there. I usually have them done by one of the teams when I'm skating a "pro" game, (SPHL is about equal to a good...

Nothing is expunged as far as the military is concerned.

The Patriot Guard Riders do a damn good job of separating out these idiots. And they show up in force. If westboro crazies (no caps, they don't deserve them) are going to show up to a funeral you can bet these guys will be right there to support the fallen and their family. I've had a few...

They didn't trust it enough to put a pilot inside? Or rather- UAV test pilots now rule the skies...

That looks like it may have some tactical advantage to it...

I believe we (The Marine Corps!) will be flying prowlers for a long time to come. Longer than 2019... I could even imagine the prowler only being a reserve airplane. 4th MAW owns the squadrons and dets the airplanes out. Wanna be an NFO past 2019? Go reserve, we already commission 2ndLt's into...

So... they are caught up to 1920s technology... :boring_12

Don't lie. Do what you think is right. Were the headaches severe? Did you miss school or work? If they are severe and you know you will get them again... well... getting a migraine at OCC would be bad, getting a migraine in the cockpit would be worse.

I concur, Joe Patti's seafood is some of the best I've had. Not only shrimp, but I've had great fish (mahi, flounder, halibut, tuna) come from JP's as well. Phrog- It may have been on Mondays. I haven't been since July, and they aren't advertising oyster night anymore on their website...

I would hope that as a Naval Officer you understand the Army are Soldiers and that Marines are Marines. Even the Air Force and Coast Guard know that calling a Marine a Soldier isn't right... How hard did you REALLY look into trying to become a Marine? ;)

Wow, sounds like the news media has really gotten out of hand.... I wonder why they don't report stuff like that here... My next door neighbor is a shrimp boat captain. (Or maybe it's commodore, he owns a few) He says the fish aren't stupid, when their normal habitat became oily they got the...

And flight school is between $1 and $1.5 million. Aircraft are anywhere from $700,000 in Orange and White land, to $50+ million in the fleet. You may think that another 2 Grand is chump change to the Gov, but they have to draw the line somewhere. If they paid for this test then they would...

Russia is part of Asia...

More rumors. It may happen, it may not. I wouldn't bet on it either way. Best sushi in Pensacola? Horizen.

Atlas also has 25cent oysters on Sunday. Now only if their beer selection was better....

If Pilot and NFO min NSS is 40, and you don't make a 40 NSS I seriously doubt there will be any ability to redes from Pilot to NFO.

Gives SW access into Atlanta (And Penacola) http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-09-27/southwest-airlines-agrees-to-buy-airtran-for-1-4-billion-in-cash-shares.html

40 NSS now is probably what a 43 was a few months ago....

Is this thread still alive? Holy crap!

We don't have to tell you hernia=bad. Waiting to get a hernia repaired=stupid. Working out on an injury=even stupider. When you workout injured muscles your body tries to compensate. Other muscles now have to do the work the torn muscles used to do. You risk further injury. Why wait until next...

And the Docs have told you being a pilot doesn't suit you. Your eyes are questionable and they aren't willing to bank a few million on an airplane and the lives of everyone on board on them. Just DOR. Go back to your civvie job. Maybe you haven't presented yourself as a doucher enough that the...

Fixed it for you. :)

Relax. It's a video game, there really isn't any way to study for it. If you have to take then do so. If you don't, so be it.

They said that last year.... Yet we still went...

Fine, 8 years of work experience, leadership experience, being an Officer of Marines, etc... your degree and bullshit college internship doesn't fucking compare.

And those 6 month TADs are getting cut to like 2-4... That slide has got to be worst case scenario.

If they were inconspicuous then no one would see them... I'm not pierced, but I don't see the problem.

The brains at NAMRL have everyone take it. They need a baseline to determine how to score the damn thing. The larger the sample population the better the results. Not sure Marines are taking it in conjunction with IFS. I seem to remember showing up to the MOC one day and was told to go take...

Possible, and possibly one of the best deals in the military if you can swing it. My old man did 27 years as an AGR guy with the same unit. Of course, it's also highly competitive.

That's just good old-fashioned team work!

Looks pretty sweet!

Wa Wa Wee Wa! No tucking in of the shirt or wearing of socks in PT gear? I had to look it up myself to believe it! That's awesome, I hate tucking in the PT shirt. Ref: paragraph 2006 Click.
