Submitted to higher probably means it is lost in the huge mess that is the TBS S-1 shop...

OP's link doesn't exist anymore... Did someone call the dude out?

Wow... I didn't think I could be more glad NOT to be a boat school Alumni... But after wasting a minute of my life on that garbage...

Wait, wait wait wait... So even if the AF says that they don't need it anymore, and want to be able to save the money/spend it elsewhere, Congress can decide to keep the airplane because it keeps people employed? Wow...

There is a guy to call but he never answers his freaking phone. Some guys in the MOC know who he is, fewer have actually been able to talk to him. CLRP has been the biggest goat rope I've seen in a while. Submit paperwork with your OSO, again at OCS, 3 times at TBS, then again with the MOC at...

Looks more like maybe 15 or 20 degrees in pitch and yaw. (As opposed to the F-22 which only has thrust vectoring wrt pitch.) If it had 360 degree vectoring capability it would be able to point it's thrust towards the nose (180 out). Oh and now for your daily culture lesson:

I don't know anyone who actually does the Armstrong method anymore. You can be just as effective (in most cases more so) with a much better balanced workout plan.

Not a picture, but a cool video about shockwaves. Fast forward to 2:20 for the coolest part.

How many guys are competing against each other selection-wise? Seems like there would need to be a lot to actually split it up into thirds, and then still have competition inside those...

Were you doing 80 in a 65? On what grounds would you contest it?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100615/ts_alt_afp/usmilitarymarinesnomination If it happens, Gen Amos would be the first Aviator Commandant of the Marine Corps. AF Chief of Staff isn't a Fighter (or Bomber/SAC guy) Pilot, Possible CMC not a grunt. These are interesting times we live in....

Time for a PPT slide! 4th MAW Breakdown:

Fox and Golf (of last year) just got TAD orders while at MATSG-21...

So did you get your "Treated by a Mexican Doc" waiver cleared through NOMI?

Best quote in the recent 2012 movie- "Holy Crap that airplane is huge!" (Thick Ruskie accent) "Is Russian...."

Why?

Maybe heel brakes instead of toe brakes and he screwed it up?

You couldn't pay me enough to go back to that freezing cesspool hellhole.

Or have everyone go in for paper and ink, that way you aren't the buddy fucker who won't let anyone use his printer....

My roommate did it. Also fit a PS3 in addition to his effing super machine on his desk in Obannon...

I don't know how seriously I can take a program in which civvies wear wings and flight suits (complete with Navy and USMC patches) and yet have long hair and beards... It's not like these guys are from ATAC flying Kfirs and A-4s in an aggressor role. They are teaching in 172s... I did IFS at...

Navy Sailing is a self supporting entity. They also produce more national and international (including Olympians) competitors and champions than the football team does. Sincerely- Not a Canoe U grad....

Correct.

So you can't take it anymore. What are you going to do about it? Take your toys and go home? Enjoy... You (a wannabe at best) just told a bunch of guys in the gun club to help you or STFU... Stand by...

Every Officer of Marines knows that what they were doing was wrong. Every student at TBS is expressly told very many times that using a MATRIX is cheating, and will not be tolerated. Land Nav isn't some knowledge exam, it is a practical field exercise. You aren't being tested on whether or not...

So instead of "First off all I want to do is serve my country in any way possible." You wanted to write your own ticket. Then you get wishy washy with a couple of different recruiting/Officer Selection Offices. Then you get angry when "someone else" screws up your slot. Right. If I was an OSO I...

They told this to all of us who graduated in Delta company last year. So we came down to Pcola amidst rumors that we were just going to go straight to API. Guess what... we did IFS in Milton. (Maybe on big Navy's dollar, we never got that answer) You will probably do the same. Why would you be...

That is how Land Nav is taught at Marine OCS

There are a lot of helicopter in the Marine Corps... I'm with P3 on the confused bit.

Absolutely. Terrain association worked very well. If you knew that you just needed to walk 1k crossing a couple draws, take a left at the creek bed and your box will be on top of the finger 300m ahead you were golden. But if you had to rely on just a straight azimuth and a pace count you had a...

The trail that goes off to the right in the pic posted above is a tracked vehicle trail. Said dude parked his car in the wrong place; As a result an AAV had to maneuver around his car. When it did, it ran over a couple other cars (also parked in no parking zones). There is a bit more to the...

Wow... he should do well... That totally tops the guy in my platoon who caused the AAV carnage in the Summer of 2009.

This was a well known box that showed up on quite a few cards. Try finding this one from the other direction...

What was he doing out on LZ-7 anyway?

Damn, would be nice if it only took a few days to fix at Whiting. 6 is next. 2 is last. Same rumor is jumping around MATSG. We haven't sent a guy to Corpus in a while.

How many airplanes did you have on det? Or rather, how many maintainers per airplane did you have? It's easy to finish a workload quickly when it is a small load and you have some help.

My brother's AF ROTC unit at Miami (the real one, in Ohio) wasn't allowed to wear any of their ROTC medals at their commissioning ceremony. Everyone agreed that it would have been gay had they actually done so.

Got this forwarded to me from my old man. It's General Mattis' Memorial Day message. I think it hits the mark dead on.

Using a matrix to fill in an answer sheet instead of plotting points and finding your way through the Quantico highlands to find your boxes is cheating.

VT-3 is looking pretty sweet.

Just curious: Why would you want to lump all those together? Do you live a great distance from the OSO's office?

On the Marine side of the house we are getting farmed out to classes at the SOF school house and the JAOC school at Hurlburt, as well as having an option to get some of the mods for EWS done, and we have a metric crap ton of dudes who are getting their MCMAP belts upgraded at the cyclic rate...

Is the Army LRC course the same or similiar to the course in Quantico?

They do this at TBS, it's called your Leadership Grade. Basically the SPC give who he thinks his #1 guy a 100 and who he thinks his bottom guy is a 70%. It's pure bullshit. I'd rather see a douche bag get jets (edit: or rather finish in the top of his class) than a guy who has a wife and a...

It is still pass/fail. He was passed up for another reason. Probably because there are no air contracts with the Marine Corps for a while.....

OCC goes to OCS, Commissions upon graduation and gets sent across the street to TBS right away. It's a short term water faucet. PLC... you go to juniors and seniors, or combined, then you wait around to finish college to commission. Then you wait to go on active duty and go to TBS. Could be 3...

This is what I meant. By all means have goals and work to achieve them. But if he is really set on being an Aeronautical Engineer, there are other services where there is a much better opportunity to do so than in the Marine Corps. But again, that is IF the ultimate goal is to be an AE. If the...

Just what it sounds like, a payback tour. You basically pay the Marine Corps back for them putting you through grad school by having a job that would use that expertise you gained from your studies... BTW I wouldn't plan on trying to become a Marine with this as your plan. There is a lot of...
