Have you done P90x? It's pretty much a push pull press ab routine... I like the p90x workouts, for the most part. I tailored it to what I want to do (basically add more cardio and get rid of the BS kenpo workout) The diet... eh... I already eat pretty healthy so I don't use theirs. I'm...

One thread is probably enough... Nothing for a while. Best advice is to do something else that you like to do and keep applying. eventually we'll need more people.

Got to take a ride on her from Little Creek to Norfolk back when I worked at the Marina on NAS. She is a cool boat.

I was so effing cold, I am pretty sure I pissed in it at least twice. I say pretty sure because at that point I was numb.

Or maybe there is an emphasis on not having 300+ 2ndLts in the pool at MATSG right now. That seems to be the message that is communicated down here (if you are somewhere else, you ain't here). I'm sure they will get your money out of you at some point, but don't be so sure that it's going to be...

Some guys need double runners. I kid you not. Then there are some guys who are okay.

"Fucking Kangaroos..."

Verizon. Mine is out of Phoenix, Wifey's is out of Northern Va. Hasn't ever been an issue not having a local number. In fact, we haven't had a house phone in about 4 years. The only reason before that was because it was needed to open the gate for people at an apartment complex.

Okay, so maybe I skimmed the article...:ashamed_1 (-1 for being a retard) BP still gets off easy.

I agree. However, I recently read an article that talks about how the government has some type of insurance policy of sorts to handle this stuff and as a result BP would only have to pay the first 75 million bucks towards the cost of the clean up. Apparently there is something like 20 Billion...

Bad gouge. My brother who is an Laughlin AFB says that the Marines are actually going to train there in Del Rio. Not that Del Rio is any better than Enid...

Ahhhh, so you're the asshole (:icon_wink) who is filling these young impressionable motards with these terms like MiTT and Deployment, giving them delusional thoughts that they may actually get to the fight before they make Captain. You should be ashamed of yourself. .....Well played!

So you don't know "the word" but you are spreading "word" about "probably deploying within the year" and MiTT teams.... Right. Did you think this one up? I hated the rumor mill when I was at TBS because none of it was true. I hate the rumor mill in MATSG because (gasp!) most of it is bullshit...

Check out the section "Operational Cultural Information" on your MOL account after you graduate TBS. It will be there. I got assigned the arm pit of the world... I mean East Africa. But yeah, we are supposed to have to take PME along with EWS in our region to become subject matter experts in...

Wait, I never got a "Certificate of Acceptance" with the "Officer of Marines" title when I contracted for OCC-200... Does that mean I won't be a fighter pilot? Damn. I should have paid my money. You gotta know this stuff coming in! "

It would make sense if they taught you a language from your assigned micro-region. ....but I wouldn't put any money on it.

There are a lot of us hanging around here. They may send some guys on IA billets, others are getting TAD orders to go work for the different MAGs, still others are getting PTAD orders to go work with an OSO (some get extended PTAD orders) and yet the rest of us are just waiting, getting stashed...

Um... what?! You are wound way to tightly around the axle on this one. I guess you're one of the guys who tucks his collared shirt into his dockers and wears a braided belt and running shoes when you go out and hit the bar. Was his uniform filthy and covered in dirt and muck from the field...

The real answer is.... Maybe. Does your new Russian wife have a father who just happened to be a Colonel in the KGB (you laugh, I know a guy who may not be a Marine much longer because he can't get a security clearance for this reason). As Trunk monkey says, make sure you know about her family...

As of last week the CO of MATSG has said that this NSS hike for API attrition is not applicable to Marines.

Tan works too.... Khaki sounds... gay...

Desert... not Khaki....

And you came to this conclusion not because you know any of the parties involved, nor do you have any further information than what has come out on the internet through a single news source and a Naval Aviation forum.

Like I said, I know. Though I'll leave it at that: I decided that I wanted to go the AD route. ....And I wanted to be a Marine. :)

Yeah, I'm well aware of how Guard/Reserve does business.

The Air Force has a program out there called Palace Chase that pretty much does just that. I'm not sure why the Navy/Marine Corps doesn't do this; maybe it's a size issue. The AF Reserve and the ANG are fairly large entities...

Lots of word around here that basically says the Navy and Marine Corps are in a similiar situation as the AF wrt aviation slots through OCS...

So what he is basically saying is that you are going to be uncomfortable for a few weeks. Big effing deal. What a whiner...

What happens when you don't use the cream?

The Brits have always had the right idea about what to name their ships. Illustrious, Resistence, Goliath, Furious etc... We have it ass backwards... What Marine wouldn't be proud to be on the latest LPD: the USS Puller? But no, we named an FFG after him, then decommed it and sold it to the...

http://www.roanoke.com/news/nrv/breaking/wb/243319 Local news in Roanoke is reporting one of the students killed was a 2008 VT grad. They don't mention the other 3.

I couldn't agree more. As a funeral detail guy, it would be tough not to "create an incident" after the ceremony was over. But it the end it would prove nothing. These assholes will eventually die, and their message will be lost. But I guarantee 200 years from now we will still lay our fallen...

Heheh, he just wants the tip.

I thought we couldn't call it "Jane Wayne Day" anymore. Maybe it was just a TBS/Quantico/HQMC's backyard type deal.

Disabled? Yeah, I guess it isn't going anywhere but the bottom anytime soon.

200

It was cold (it was very cold), some got hurt, a couple got sick, some couldn't hack it physically, some couldn't pass the exams (it's amazing how tough stuff can get when you are sleep deprived, exhausted and under nourished) some just didn't have the leadership qualities or abilities, others...

Half a second thought on something that everyone will identify you by may not have been the smartest choice. Big words coming from someone who wants to be here. I may not have earned the privilege to call myself a Naval Aviator, but I have earned the privilege to call myself a Marine and an...

If you make it through OCS and TBS then yes you will get your shot at earning your wings. Nothing poof about it. OCS and TBS ain't exactly easy. And sign on bonus? Seriously?

Yes, you go to TBS as a 7599 and know you are going to get your shot at earning your wings if you get through TBS. You don't have to compete for an MOS because you already have one. It should be noted that both the Air Force and the Navy have similar guaranteed slots. Pretty much all the...

You'll be okay, and will get current as soon as you check into MATSG-21. Lots of guys were in the same boat you are in now.

As the Mouse said, there are no enlisted pilots, so if you want to be a pilot enlisting won't help. You are 22, cut off is 27. You have some time. Get a sweet gig as a sunscreen application expert at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas and keep applying.

It can be done without an engine. (Now if only they can find another sponsor with the cash flow and the interest that Steve Fosset had.) http://www.perlanproject.com

That's a Quantico rumor. And even if it were true, by the time you will start API everything will be totally different. I checked into MATSG in November, I'm looking at July/August as the earliest. Worry about getting through TBS, then worry about what you are going to do with a year of paid...

F-22 a legacy fighter? Reporters....:headache_

And most likely no one will, until 2011... My OSO had 2 slots fall in his lap like 2 months before OCC-200 started, I walked in his door the next day. Your OSO said he didn't have any slots. Do you think he would lie to you?

Hayling by FC Kahuna.

Was there interest in the new league? I reffed a couple of the beer league games down here but stopped as soon as I learned there was a big political fight between the youth player's association (who also control the adult leagues) and the referees in the area.

Whoa Whoa Whee Whoa! I know you did not just dis the Miracle on Ice! It was only the greatest hockey game ever played! Though who cares about the Congressional Gold Medal, those guys won an Olympic Gold Medal (after they beat the Finns of course).

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but, an inhaler sounds like a great way to get yourself singled out. "Aww look, the candidate needs his little puffer..." Bold move cotton...
