Do we really know that yet? I'm not saying anything yet, and I'm sure not saying I could do anything any better. I just want to see what the NTSB says first, that's all.

Somehow, I see an incoming infraction, you might want to use the edit function, just an idea.... Regardless, just be a man and bleed. You don't need your stupid nipples anyway. And as previously discussed, if you wear under armor, you'd gladly have bloody nipples then deal with the consequences.

That's awesome that they just posted his phone number for the world. It's a good thing no one ever goes to that site....oh, wait.

This is fantastic advice if someone's never negotiated a car before. I put an offer down on a car on the 30th of January and did the old fake get up and start to leave thing a few times which ended up saving me thousands.

Car covers sometimes blow back (and sometimes scratch your car) and you won't notice it for a week or two sometimes. But overall, unless it's needed I wouldn't risk taking on that kind of debt till you're an O-1. I don't want to sound overly salty or negative for that matter, but getting to...

5. Navy is completely separate. As for the OP, I was flip-flopping as well before selection. Bottom line is you have to do what you think is best. Just keep thinking about it and you'll make the right decision.

Then I don't know what I'm talking about evidently. Carry on.

I think it's different from the designator. I remember it being a two or three digit number I haven't seen since.

^^ Same here. I left it blank and told my recruiter. I think it's something alpha-numeric but don't quote me.

I think it would help a lot. One of the major helmet fires for me in the first few flights was getting used to flying, talking to approach/tower, looking for traffic and trying to do it all in the right way. The sooner you get used to multitasking the better.

Loved it too. I know it's on HDNet movies too every once and a while.

The biggest reason I never went there. I had one lunch that I was sitting there for 2 hours before I finally got food. A good conversation and a late breakfast kept me from raising hell. That and the hours are strange too IIRC, like not open for lunch some days/

All of the priors in my class said it was completely different from boot camp for the harder. Advice? Don't quit, it isn't impossible even though it will seem like it at times.

He said living off base in San Diego, see for yourself. Comes in right under the $3500 mark with the tax advantage. I don't even know if E-1's are allowed to live off base except if they're married so I'm probably arguing semantics as I normally do, but raise the family size on the calculator...

Pretty sure those are near, if not the minimums. Not to say it'll be impossible depending on the rest of your package, but a lot of people will have better scores. Spend some time with the Arco study guide and you should see some better scores.

So, I got an article from Life magazine from about 1940~1942 time frame about Pensacola WWII flight training. Very, very cool, but I can't seem to find a descent way to display it since it's from the original magazine so it's front and back of each page. Because of the age, I think it needs to...

Merry Christmas everyone. Be safe and successful in the new year as well.

I wasn't saying that every IP I flew with or heard of was awesome, but their goal was to make you better and to get you through rather then fail you. But, yes, that is from the pilot side. I thought that to be common since that is the first I have heard differently regarding the NFO side of...

The G1000 MFD is a from a database, it isn't vision at all. Nice looking, but it doesn't really add any safety compared to other GA MFD's. The IR camera really adds something if you're using out of the way airports that might have deer or something crossing the runway at night. Here's...

A gym membership and if you have one already then a personal trainer who will destroy you.

I know a lot of dealers use ebay for cars. I'm pretty sure it's the same type of thing for planes as well from what I've heard. I do know a few people that flew out of the same airport as I used to bought a few planes off of Controller and recommended it above ebay. Less auction and more...

^^Check out Navy.mil, there's a lot of TW-1 love. 081211-N-7981E-265 PACIFIC OCEAN (Dec. 11, 2008) A T-45 Goshawk assigned to Carrier Training Wing (CTW) 1 is readied for launch from the No. 1 steam-powered catapult on the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln...

If there's a problem someone will let you know otherwise just chill out, it'll happen. Use the time now to just PT your brains out.

Do you actually need to type anything to qualify for the best post in AW history?

deleted erroneous post

Pretty freaking amazing. OK, maybe not a PPL holder, FAA's database just says student pilot, but still...

Guess it was you I overheard then, either that or this subject is somewhat famous (go figure).

Overheard two IP's talking about this in Primary, I have no idea if they're real or not but apparently they're the only callsigns that stuck from Primary that these two had heard about... Tumbleweed - walked too close to the rear of a C-12 doing a runup Caucasian - hooked up with an Asian tranny.

They build you up to it over three or so weeks and each session gets easier and easier. BTW, if the instructors are still the same in Newport, they were using the same scare tactics over a year ago. Don't sweat it, you won't attrite over swimming.

Ok, since if you actually search for "RLP" it doesn't come back with anything since its so short and I'll be nice for Thanksgiving.... Room Locker and Personnel inspections. Go here for more answers. PS, use the search function on this site....please.

I know a few people who got killed when the new NSS computation went into effect, which takes marginal and downed flights into the mix now. From what I understood (which isn't much granted) it basically compressed everyone around the 50 NSS mark (helped the students with low scores but no...

Just have Under Armor or Nike make them but allow them to throw their logo all over it and say "official PT uniform of the Navy" on their TV spots, with of course Godsmack blasting in the background. Un-oh, I just used logic.... oh no, they're coming through the window!!!!!

One PT session our DI says line up in two lines facing the same way, he then says fireman's carry and then for the first line to turn around to face your partner. Sure enough, one of the smallest females is staring at me. She did alright but this is what can and does happen frequently. You...

I've always loved how aviation watches have E6B's on the bezel and I'd love to hear the story of the one guy who actually used the stupid thing. I'm not saying they look bad, as I have my eye on a Citizen Nighthawk, but I'm sure as hell not going to use it flying. I use a Timex that has...

Everyone is hating life in your class so don't take it personal. As long as you remember, as bad as it gets, someone's had it worse and still made it through, you'll be fine. Oh, and if you've had problems holding your liquor in the past, remember that when you get liberty and be cautious.

I took these to Australia and abused them epically and they are as great now as they were out of the box. They're listed at $125 but I paid about $80 for them (6 years back granted but I'm sure there's a better deal). I wore them hiking, white water rafting, riding ATVs and horseback, you name...

Bump. Still looking for a roommate.

Do a search and you'll find a million different threads on the pros and cons of getting a ppl. In my opinion, spending the time that you would fly in the gym is a much better application of time and money. OCS is the first and more important step for right now, add into the fact that almost...

Yes sir, a whiteboard is an upgrade from a chalkboard. No dust, no mess plus fancy colors; picture this, but smaller in this thread's case: You know, I was about to throw in some obvious jokes here, but I realized how much I don't want to know about whiteboards and how little a give a sh!t...

Yes.

Jesus, this crap is why all O-1s go home and bitch about not being treated like an officer, because some of us don't deserve to be treated as one. Someone has to know this current douchebag; we need to fix it. If O-1's start policing ourselves, then we won't have to worry about O-3's.

+1. I have a minor. I can't tell you what it is though, that should tell you how many times I've needed to remember.

Why a whiteboard and why not a notebook? Seems like it's a bit overboard to me but what do I know. To study however, I would have never made it through primary without a whiteboard, best study aid I had. I only used the whiteboards in the briefing spaces to explain what I meant a little better...

See the title of the thread. The community has.. 1 Community Center, with computers and internet access, is available for community activities such as after school programs, craft groups, and club meetings. • And a Community Room complete with residential-style...

It isn't just the goose crap, it's the shells that the geese break and leave on the PT field that shred your hands, then throw on some crap on some open wounds and I can see if they've "outlawed" it. I have complete faith in the Gunnys though, I have learned to never underestimate their...

Does that video show two ducted fans behind the cockpit? I thought it only had one or is that something else?

CommodoreMid gives some conflicting advice. Going to a good nutritionist is a great idea. Good meaning one that tailors their advice to you instead of the other way around. In short, fruit and vegetables, good; sugar and salt, bad. However, if the nutritionist is worth it, they'll probably...

Says the future holder of a -134 rep. :icon_tong

Wow, someone had Mr. S. one too many times I see....:icon_tong

Just realized this is under Marine OCS. My bad.
