    2011 TBS wait and API

    So hard to predict. I had an 8 month wait, a buddy of mine who graduated with the same TBS Company, but one year earlier, started 2 weeks after he showed up in Pensacola. I think about ~8 months +/- a few has been the norm for guys for the last year or two.

    The further decline of personal accountability...

    A sand bag...what an interesting choice of word--wait a minute, you're in TBS aren't you. No one in the real world is working out with sand bags.

    The further decline of personal accountability...

    Maybe physical fitness scores aren't why you are getting laughed at in the locker room? Brett: That seems like a cop-out to me. Marines do the same workups as well and are still responsible for their physical fitness.

    TIMS at home

    Sounds like it could be cool...would you rather click through a CAI as fast as possible in a computer lab on base so you can go home and actually read the material, or would you rather have it up on your computer with your pubs out going through both at the same time to maximize learning (and...

    TH-57 cockpit posters

    It seems like the guys coming from Vance I know didn't have too much trouble with the transition. They will let you sit in on some briefs to see the difference, but again, according to the guys I know coming from there it wasn't really necessary. You WILL have to perform emergency...

    Married people at TBS

    We lived in a townhouse back behind Lowe's < 5 min. to the gate. I think our BAH was like 1,500 or more and the rent for a 3,000 sq. ft. 4 bed/4 bath was $1000. And I rented the basement to a buddy in comm school. How are they doing it in the new barracks that are only 2 to a room? Some...

    API to Primary Wait - Whiting

    So that is 7 months from the end of API to the end of Primary? I finished API mid August and finished Primary mid jan...that is 2 months faster. The guys in my API class that went to Vance just solo'd recently. The guy I knew who started API ~2 months ahead of me just got down to Milton and...

    API to Primary Wait - Whiting

    That doesn't sound right that that 2ndLt would be the last -34 class. VT-6 hasn't even gotten any T-6's yet, unless they got some in the last few weeks. Edit: Oh yeah, Vance is (was?) slower than Whiting recently. Wx has been poor lately so that might equalize it, but guys who started API...

    "THE WORD" at tbs right now about API

    I dunno I talked to a few of them, I heard that often they would catch themselves asking why they enjoyed coming into work by 7am and leaving no earlier than 4pm, sometimes sticking around till 5 or 6, but they said that the energy that surrounds that place is something different.

    I have such bars of silver as you speak of, and I would be willing to provide any information you need for the Lt underground. I pretty much know everything, so ask away.

    San Antonio Police Helo Autorotates to 281 and bitters

    Is it standard to slide that long on the skids after touchdown? I have a few weeks until I start helo school, but from reading the FTI it seems like a normal auto dissipates all the airspeed right before touchdown - or is that the difference between a normal and a low-altitude high-airspeed auto?

    Marine Gouge ASTB Practice Test: Weird Questions

    I remember also being frustrated by that question. If anything it should be more buoyant near the surface, because as the beach ball goes to a lower depth, the air inside of it (which is inflated at sea level pressure), will be compressed, making the beach ball smaller. A smaller beach...

    DADT repealed

    I don't think many prosecutors would charge someone for 125 if that was the only offense. The only one I've seen is 125 for issues pertaining to oral sex because of the article 120 rewrite which makes it hard to get it in under that article.

    I want to be a sniper

    World War Z taught us that conventional firearms may be impractical against a mindless horde...don't forget the lessons learned at the "Battle of Yonkers." We need some sort of physical barrier. However, The Walking Dead teaches us that in reality, all you need is an axe (or a samurai sword)...

    Year Long Wait for API

    I wouldn't worry about Primary at this point man, but if you have to do something to prep for it, I would say memorizing EP's or even learning systems would be more useful than flying a sim on your PC. Although, flying a sim on your PC is a computer game which is probably infinitely more fun...

    Remington wins sniper rifle upgrade contract

    All I can think of is that the full length rail on top allows them to use flip up back-up iron sights if they wanted (don't know why they would want that). They probably just did it because they need the rails on the side near the front for the PEQ-15 (or whatever snipers get that is probably...

    No weapons for E-4 and below on watch

    Not calling bullshit on you or your experiences. I'm calling bullshit on the premise that the pogiest of pogs shouldn't have a no-kidding military purpose when deployed (other than serenading people in the DFAC) and shouldn't learn how to use firearms.

    I call bullshit. Bands in the Marine Corps are expected to act as provisional base security when deployed and I believe they provide personal security for the CG as well.
