I'm sure we'll see this fought tooth and nail by the local politicians, probably ending up in court. Bottom line is that Hampton Roads still has a metric shit ton of military in the area (With more than a couple major commands). The net loss isn't going to be that bad.

I thought it was a serious product... until I saw the rest of the pics... definitely awesome!

Sexy...

He's an Aggie! Isn't the deck already stacked against him? :icon_smil I keed I keed. Just don't suck and have fun with it.

What's up with the non-skid paint job on the that guy?

This is kind of related: Is it worth it to join AOPA? I know they are a big lobbying group as well as producers of a glossy magazine with airplane photos; but what exactly do they do for you?

So what you're saying is that you make a logical decision based on your situation? Wow, what a concept. Isn't that what we are supposed to be groomed to do as officers?

A: If you want to make it as an Officer of Marines and in the aviation community you need to grow some thicker skin. B: I can guarantee that I don't speak "street-speak retardese" to my superior officers, nor to any Marine junior to me. Come to think of it none of my peers speak that way either...

How did the MPC system work? Same as cash on base/ship?

Sweet shot.

You can always switch to ground at TBS if you don't want to wait. If you've been paying attention around here and reading you would know that the pipeline is gearing up quickly. 10 Marines per week are starting API, ground school at TW-5 is being compressed a bit, and the VT's are flying...

I'd take the guy who has 800 hours of "quality" time, landings in austere conditions, tough flying conditions, etc... over 1500 hours of VFR Milton to Crestview...

This +10.

Do you talk like that in grad school? I would want my money back from my BA or BS or whichever you have hanging on your wall.

He got caught twice. How many times did anyone else get caught?

It's not going to help your case. Expunged doesn't count, at least it didn't when I was in the application process. (I applied to Navy and as well Marine) They want to know about it. Bottom line is that you are going to have to prove that you have A) learned from your mistakes and B) won't...

Hey Web San- I'm not seeing any links to donate on the donation page. For those of us with some spare change in our ashtray... how do we contribute?!

Those of us lucky enough to get the first 2 mods done at MATSG we part of a test group that took a multiple choice exam for MOD 1 and a short answer for MOD 2. MOD 2 was open book, MOD 1... not so much. Questions from Mod 1 were similar to: Who establishes the National Security Policy? What...

I've been introduced to at least as many Gods Among Men through AW as I have through any other source. This is another. If anything, it makes me want to work harder knowing that this is the brotherhood I am entering into. I only hope to live up to the legacy of those who have gone before me...

Tankless hot water= AWESOME! Especially if your wifey likes to take 5 hour showers like mine does... We had it in our last apartment; if we ever build a house, tankless is the way to go.

I remember the Canadian CF-18 demo doing a high alpha pass with a 360 degree "turn" when I was a kid. Hard to describe, but it was low, slow and impressive. Always used to think that it was so low if he lost an engine he would barely have time to pull the handles. Either way, nice to see the...

Why skip IFS? It's a good time, flying on the our rich uncle's dollar. At least, it's a good time in the Marine Corps...

No, it's just annoying when someone acts like a pompous ass.

It's more like 6 or 7 months, and the guys who went on the MEU weren't going because they had a long wait to start (If they didn't go, they would both be starting API by now). They went because they wanted to go. There is at least one guy on this board from that squadron that posts here on the...

Okay Uncle Rico...

I remember getting Juno email on a 14.4 modem. With a Magnavox Headstart 386. It had a CD player (which was hella-cool) that you had to load the CD into a cartridge. Oh, and it had a 40mb harddrive, which was HUGE.

I think you are nuking it. I don't think this video does anything but give a bunch of people the ability to argue about who would win in a fight between my dad and your dad.

Looks like she's from Willow Grove.(?) Sad to see so many guys losing their rides. That's the tough part about the ANG, especially these days. It is one reason why I decided to go Marine Corps. (That and I wanted to kill fire monsters)

I've pretty much heard the same from both my brother and the old man (both AF types). They go to Luke AFB to learn how to fly the Viper then go to Tyndall for the Raptor.

That's exactly what I thought when I came across that part.

An idiot eh? Interesting... Will you enjoy aero eng enough to get decent grades in that field of study? There will always be a demand for a guy who knows what he's doing and does exceptional work in any career field. At the same time no one wants to hire a window licker. Enjoy your general...

Checking out google earth I'm noticing a lot of empty lots on the Island... Has Google not updated their images lately or is there really not a whole lot of housing being built/rebuilt after hurricanes/storms destroy them?

I've seen people having to unbolt keels to ship boats by land across the continent... Even more of a bitch when you have a keel stepped mast... Just more reasons to sail it yourself.

Not how it works.... Do you guys know anyone who lives in Arizona? Do you KNOW any Judges in Phoenix who are trying to figure out how to train their LEOs on how to enforce this law? Do you know any LEOs in AZ that see this law as a serious detriment to how they do business? I do. Illegals do...

The big question is what kind of boat? Shipping smaller powerboats across oceans are similar to shipping cars. Sailboats can be a different story. You may have trouble finding yacht delivery guys willing to sail a 28ft boat from Guam back to the USA... Everyone I know has had to pay out of...

Even if this law sticks there is no real way to enforce it. Suddenly illegals who are witnesses to crimes will not come forward in fear of being deported... So now you make illegals fear the police, who do they turn to for protection?

Yes, look up Palace Chase. My old man was AGR (read active duty) for 27 years in the NYANG.

Exactly! You don't emigrate to Arizona, you emigrate to the USA. You are not a citizen of a state, you are a resident. I thought this argument was settled in the Civil War...

Or you could be a MAN and join the service that still believes everyone in the military must know how to shoot! :cool: Somehow I don't think this will be an issue in the Marine Corps...

99% of Delta 09 will have started by the middle of August... Right now 10 guys are starting per week. 4 to Corpus, 5 to Whiting, 1 to Vance. NFO's are getting thrown in there somewhere... The post API has been chewed through. It appears as though the pipeline has started to move.

Did anyone have issues with the weekly rentals (read, party houses) that seem to populate the island? Seems like it would be a pain in the ass to live next to a house that people are renting out and partying in every night...

NFO primary is taught in the T-6, which has an ejection seat. If you can't sit in an ejection seat you can't go to NFO primary.

Why not? The Navy is figuring out a long term plan to restore the Gulf of Mexico (and moving their focus from things like supporting ops in the Mid East, or anti-piracy ops across the globe) We went to the Moon with big brass balls and used slide rules and a little bit of imagination...

In my neighborhood (Lillian Woods, corner of Blue Angel and Lillian Hwy) There are 3 houses that have been for sale since I got here in Nov, and there are 4 or 5 that have had for rent signs up for the past couple months... The house I am renting is soon to also be on the market at the owner has...

I get the same thing.

There are guys who cross commission from the different service academies.

I just finished it. It is a well written memoir of Lt Col Franzak's experiences in Afghanistan, at a time when Iraq was getting all the attention. It's a good read for less than 20 bucks.

Did you reapply for Marine OCS? Most of the guys I know who went home due to an injury were afforded the opportunity to go again.

Did someone ask for this?

If you are talking sexual harassment, cheating, rape etc. I would say no. If you mean stupid shit ala I got drunk on an away regatta just like every other college sailor, then maybe. You can't compare the two, what is (or maybe was) stupid at the Academy is perfectly acceptable in the real...
