The reason I say it's dumb is to wait until you're to your PDS in the fleet before you get the fun car. Through the TRACOM, if you have an SUV/Truck/Sedan, you can net $1k+ per PCS in DITY money. If you have a Vette as a 'fun car' the Navy won't move it for you. You'll outlay your own money. If...

I'll just say that's dumb. Cool, for sure, but dumb.

The cutoff for O4 happened between their lineal numbers?

CNN reporting she's in surgery with a GSW to the head. Not dead, at least for the moment. Crazy.

NASC has a holiday stand down usually where one can take leave. Not sure about MATSG-21 though.

^^ Yup

No. But do try and tell us how that goes.

I left the door open and you went in, well played.

As long as the pilots come as advertised from the movie, I'm so in.

And Lucy Lawless doing softcore lesbian scenes... Just saying...

I was referring to Miniseries, and totally agree that Band of Brothers is some of the most compelling things ever on TV. John Adams, Generation Kill, and The Pacific I think got progressively worse. FWIW, the former head of original programing for HBO, the guy who helped start The Sopranos and...

I nabbed these DVDs from our family's stash over the Christmas break. Wow. Really well written, and each episode moved had it's own tone and storytelling. The cast is full of folks that have dominated TV and Movies to this day. I wish HBO could still do stuff this compelling. The Pacific...

So did the site go down when Websan banned himself for a few days?

I thinking these need to go old school again and be live acting w/o cameras. No opportunity to ruin someone's career later.

Ah, makes sense.

My understanding was that HSC-84 and 85 were using FTS folks to make that happen. An instructor here got picked up for it.

OC Land is kind of a gray area. Luckily for them, in Newps, Training Country is fairly separate from the rest of the base and the rules about customs and courtesies are laid out pretty well. I personally thought some of the funnier "awkward" moments were around the comissioned JGs/LTs at ODS...

Restarted Safari and deleting cookies fixed it.

A lot of the Marine instructors I talked to were frustrated with the possibility that after the VT tour, they probably never going to get a flying billet again.

Quite a testament to the original design that they're just iterating it at this point and still producing an awesome plane.

That's a SWO billet right? Different ballgame entirely for them with respect to shore tours.

I'll just say this. Very few good conversations start with "Hey Shipmate..."

Bought tapatalk but wasn't super impressed with it. The regular interface with the iPhone 4's horsepower seems to work decently.

And that's why you have RLP gear and non-RLP gear. Wear one set of PT Gear and NWUs, along with a few pairs of socks/skivvies, leave the rest of it pristine for RLP.

Most Marines have a decent wait between TBS and API, and I know one that got married during that time, but your mileage will vary as always.

No change for single ENS in Corpus. No news is good news.

Does that thing still have an operating crew and semi-normal usage?

FYI, a shat ton of 27 and 28 dudes are going on Det as soon as we get back. I agree Austin is the bomb (and filled with lovely females), but logistically difficult for a lot of folks. I heard about the Lex party and that it was pretty epic. Either way, I'll drink your booze and reciprocate in...

<I'm an idiot> But the YF-22 first flew in 1990. Prototype -> Operation for these technological terrors is quite the long and painful process these days.

In a year or so, in RI Sims, I want you to read this again and then kick yourself in the nuts. ;)

^^ Awesome pic. Hope those bubbas never paid for a beer.

Don't worry. I had Lazers sniffed out the day he came in.

Felt like I just walked out of the sim building after reading that...

Back to your WoW hole nerd...

Granted I have an awesome MacBook Pro, but I left it in my car from Oct-Dec until we went on leave and it worked just fine. I had it in my back of my trailblazer along with some other stuff in bags, all covered up by a blanket to keep out of sight. The seawall lot (if that's where they're...

Yes. All black w/o logos if you can manage.

Probably VP? Pilots are Helos or VP

You only need to know what the enlisted ranks and associated rank insignias are (i.e. an E-3 in the US Navy is a Seaman. His insignia is...). Your chief might discuss rates during quarters or something, but you'll pick up what rates are important to your field as you get out there. Good...

Sorry to jump on that. I know of no benefits to being earlier in the year group as opposed to later. BUPERS makes the cutoff decisions as far as I know, and it's variable. I am, however, not an expert on the screening process. Ask an LT with with MPs.

Dude, seriously? You're already trying to game the O-4 boards as a mid? It will be 10 years until you have to worry about that shit, and by then the answers will have changed 10 times. As a prior you should have an idea how crazy the process can be. Enjoy college now and work hard through...

Nice Find. It'd be interesting if after years of trying to go it alone, China is welcomed back into the Russian fold military tech wise. As always though, money talks.

So it was working great for me initially on Safari for Mac. Now I get "?" icons on the buttons on the bottom bar and "New Messages..." flashing across the header when I don't have any. Works good on Firefox for Mac though. Odd?

I lived right out the front gate and had some issues to begin with using COX. The signal would totally drop out ever few days. The third tech to visit finally figured out it was some corroded connector on the pole. Replaced that and it was rock solid after. Pretty fast, I was streaming HD...

Run out of YouTube videos to jerk it to or what?

How was your "last meal" as OCs? Ours was hilarious. The CandiO class had us pretty challenged I keep bearing. To the dude asking about stuff being hard, I'm sure whatever the rules, you won't have very much fun. Show up ready to kick ass and just go with it. You have no control over anything...

Sorta. That's the lucky bag room for RLP. All the stuff that doesn't go in your room goes in your seabag in that room. There's another lucky bag room for all your nasty civilian gear.

Technical answer: Graduating a semester earlier (December vice May) puts you in the same YG, so you're filling the same billets for the same year group. Also, the time you report to pcola has zero bearing on how academically difficult it will be, so again no difference. Not sure about the IRR...

Uh, .40S&W?

My first pistol was a Gen 1 G17 NYPD. Great weapon and you get used to the trigger. It was *heavily* used when I got it, but never gave me any issues. I kinda wish I would've kept it now, but going to the DA/SA Sig 226 was like night and day.
