Doesn't someone in the sim building have them? It's been a long time but I could have sworn I was offered that by someone when I first checked in. BTW, it doesn't help so don't feel bad if you can't get it.

The Lockheed guys were saying that stealthy jamming pods were in the works for the Marines at Tailhook this year. They also said that they had no idea when it would be ready, but from that press release, it looks like the time table speed up a bit or someone is jumping the gun.

Don't know if it was here or Meridian but there were some bullet holes in a T-45 a few years back. Also, I had some ass on Ocean Drive outside the back gate at NASCC shining a laser or something at me a few times in Primary.

There are really nice homes in almost any section (I did say almost), but I think you'd probably prefer the south end of town on/ near Yorktown and Saratoga road. One of the neighborhoods is called Kings Crossing but I've seen a few different homes around there and you may not get a huge yard...

Studs = Kingsville IPs = Corpus, all over the town from what I've heard. Even heard some live on the Island, but I did that drive when I first selected for a few weeks and no thank you. From what I've heard, Flour Bluff HS is actually really good. Don't take my word for it, just what I've...

Obviously there is a flaw in this setup so I'm hoping that the FAA does the right thing here. Probably not having a controller take over responsibility since that's the reason it existed to begin with, but maybe mandating specific altitudes for helos and fixed wing. Whatever the outcome, its...

I've flown the Hudson seven or eight times in 172's. It gets sketchy when people aren't sure what to do, clog up the radio or can't keep an altitude. From about Midtown to the Statue fixed wings are generally as high as possible (corridor is only 1100' so about 800-1000) and the helo guys are...

No, your head can come up for a bit as you tread water. Just stay relaxed and you'll be fine.

WTF does that even mean? "Real" fun? You mean scoring some blow, banging a few sluts and getting arrested? Yeah, real fun. You'll have plenty of fun staying at a casino. Bag strike the hotel bar as soon as you land, don't sleep till Sunday and check out the Olympic Garden, the rest is on...

Everyone gets pushed to their individual limit. Those who have a higher limit get pushed farther.

Don't eat stuff that you aren't allowed to. Simple. You'll know what that is when you get there. Take full advantage of everything that is allowed, but be a man and play the game for 12 weeks and then eat all the damn Cheetos you want. They aren't going to starve you so just suck it up.

Looks like it's only in blue.

Talk to me about straight and level being easy after RI's.

It's called watch dude. You don't wear the wash k's for it now, but you will be able to wear the digis.

Saw them on one our ATC guys for the first time up close for the first time a week or two ago. They don't look as bad as I thought and they have to be better then wash khakis to get RPT'd in. That and you'll actually use them, unlike wash khakis as well.

That was what I thought when I signed a lease in Governor's Gate. I ended up going to Corpus so all I did was screw myself for two months with a long commute. Unless things have really changed, Countrywood was just as nice (I thought) for a cheaper price and much much closer to base. Congrats...

Gotta be on Zab's side with this one. Being in flight school spoils the hell out of anyone and you almost forget how boring and crappy normal jobs are at times. I was looking at some of the presentations I made during my pre-Navy life and I wanted to kill myself by slide three. Yes some peers...

Some IPs seem like they really enjoy making your life a nightmare. Talking down to you, telling you you're an idiot, making you feel like every thing you do is wrong, etc, etc. Not a lot, but I think it's human nature to remember the one that treated you like crap rather then the hundred that...

Sweet. I always knew that crap was overrated. No doubt that'll be sweet, but come on, irrelevant?

I thought the same thing, the jets just look too big. Maybe it's a trick shot with a massive lens, maybe not, but they're still pretty cool.

Pretty sure they covered those already with the Vietnam and Holy Land one. I never saw the Falkland one but apparently it's on there. Got some searching to do on Hulu I guess.

Because that never changes...

+1 on that. I had 4 or 5 people. One friend of mine was enlisted in the Air Force for a few years but that's it. They all knew me very well and I knew would speak highly of me. If you happen to be buds with guys with stars on their collars, awesome, use them, but it means more when someone...

Bad things. Change in username and/or avatar in 3....2....1....

A true badass. Nice find Spy.

Just get a capture device like this and plug the VCR into it. It shouldn't be too hard to track down an 8mm VCR, right? After that it's on your computer and you can do anything with it.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I sunburn pretty easily too and I never had a problem. Unless things have changed you will do most of your outdoor activities in the morning as previously mentioned. You might have a few extended sessions outdoors and get a nice dose of sun on you, but...

This is a common practice in the civilian world so I'd imagine it isn't any different in the Navy (if we ever have an excess at the end of the year that is). Every year at my old job December was akin to Brewster's millions. We'd scrap and claw for every dollar because you never knew all year...

Not a bad idea as a way to cut down on drunk driving incidents either. Could get some legs. Keep us posted.

Does this mean 500 total or just N models? Total it's a stretch, just N's is full retard. Come to think of it, this article pretty much is the latter anyway so why can't the Navy get 500 of 'em!

Olive drab is a pretty common paint scheme. Could be anybody really, but chances are its US.

I have no idea about that specific picture, but I have seen US Army -47's perform that maneuver in person a while back, so unless something changed they can do that.

Who cares, KC-135.

Once again, this is still a good resource.

^^ You've been waiting to use that line, haven't you?

Unless things had changed massively, A-Pool was a physical muster every morning. The phone was used only if your car broke down or something for one day only type of thing, which is why they got caught so easily. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

Top row: American Defense Medal, European/African/Middle Eastern Campaign Medal Bottom row: Asiatic/Pacific Campaign Medal, American Campaign Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal This is a good resource.

That's up to the current crop of A-pool'ers now. Look sh*t-hot for your inspections, take your medicine and for Christ's sake, act like an officer and the pain will be over and back to normal.

Wouldn't it just be easier, less time consuming and a hell of a lot cheaper to just go to OCS, Flight School, select jets and just fly the real thing at that point?

I just used that in Turbo Tax but then noticed that my student loan interest was deducted on top of that. Is that new this year, because I remember in years past when I used an accountant he always said it wasn't important if I had my interest letters since it wouldn't add up to the standard...

...better scan for traffic a little higher then usual. I heard about the two satellites colliding, but thought the report said the debris field would be over the Pacific.

...temporarily. We probably know how it'll turn out but facts are facts for now.

One picture, four ship formation. Problem solved.

There's a pack of dogs I've seen around the front gate here in Krock a few times. As for El Centro, I'd be much more concerned with Black Widow population, not that I found any in my BOQ room (I was too busy freezing my ass off every time I tried to take a shower without any hot water), but I...

+1 on this, but since the cars will be right next to the bay, the winds WILL pick up, so if you don't secure it properly, it could blow off or even damage your vehicle. I wish now that I had a cover, since the salt water spray does not help the condition of your car. BTW, never park with the...

It's nothing bad, its just how the LSO's grade each pass a pilot makes at the boat. What exactly this means is way beyond me as of now however. Judging by the context, it's probably worth the wait to hear what it does mean.

25 posts before the fake PSA's got brought up. Not bad...

I'm not sure there is much of a difference in some cases. Background: I was in corporate I.T. (Fortune 100 companies) for years before going to OCS. I started in a very crappy position and worked my way up to where I was responsible for a global department and had a staff under me directly and...

I signed up for an account as well there. I needed to call their helpdesk a few times but the women who answered was very helpful and got my account set up relatively quickly. If the site starts giving you flack definitely call them.

I'm not sure about the taxes, but you should start to get paid bi-monthly immediately. I know it got screwed up for some people, but it is supposed to start right away. I suggest you use auto bill pay or something like that you bank offers to pay all of your bills. If your bank doesn't offer...
