That will be a chore getting that into the 34's cockpit but after another two plus hour flight I might think about it. Thanks anyway. ;)

Do those help with lower back pain?

I guess it's now best two out of three. I just hope that it hasn't been scheduled for a best of seven series.

That's why they're called orders.

Your percentages of making it are whatever you make them. If you devote yourself 100%, then eventually you'll be accepted. Whether or not you make it through BUD/S is a question I can't answer but I'm sure you know it's no joke. As far as the "areas", you put down what designators you want to...

That "survival guide" document came from a few different Newport/Pensacola graduates and was given out by a recruiter IIRC. All of that information in that and the other docs is/was out there already. Our boy here just put it all in one spot... which, I suppose that counts for something...

It really isn't hard to figure out, but don't worry, you'll forget it when you need it.

Scratch paper, no calculator. If I remember I barely wrote anything except a few quick problems. The ARCO book was the only study guide I used and found it very helpful. I was out of school for 4 1/2 years when I took it so I took the tests in the ARCO book, found what I was hurting at, and...

Spot on and enjoy the BCG's.

The new Cessna two seater is around $130k as well as some other kit builts like RVs'. Personally I hope this design does well for no other purpose then it looks cool and I think it's a great idea to be able to use your garage as a hanger rather than renting one out and getting held hostage by...

Look I know you haven't been there and it's hard to know the specifics but what gives you the impression that ANY reg is relaxed at OCS. To not be a dick, no; you get no extra time and you end up having to shave ridiculously hard to try and not get hit on inspections which you will anyway...

Just use your trash can and then dry it out. Ice is critical for just about everyone at one time during OCS. And to answer your question Jackass, there is no average beating so there is never an average time, I had a few that were one pushup... then ones that seemed like hours.

I want to slap you.

Agree, but still sucks to lose him.

Almost every week I hear of at least one dude getting their second or third choice who had good grades. Some weeks more guys get their second or third some everyone gets their first, it is random as far as I can tell. They call your preferences a dream sheet for a reason. It's something you...

Actually, you're both wrong. Rank has nothing to do with it. There are crappy jobs to get 1 through whatever. Dumb luck decides how much free time you'll have. Anyway it doesn't really matter since you will actually HAVE free time compared to the previous 9 weeks.

Good to see that graduation ceremonies moved outdoors. Congrats and enjoy the hell out of Pensacola.

Laugh at you and then push you harder. BTW, I never saw anyone puke but I'm sure it happens and I'm still willing to bet the above sentence is true.

I wish I could recommend something other then Time Warner, but it's hard not to. Their customer service sucks, but they have a really good price deal with HD cable and once you deal with the savages in tech support it works fairly reliably. That said, if Fios was here and I could get satellite...

You do realize you're not in Newport anymore, right?

It's just you. Letters kept me sane. Write a LOT.

If DI's could... ...they would. After a "workout" you feel like you got beat, not like you just worked out. Plus most of the time they are given to you as punishment for whatever transgressions you or your class did, ergo, beatings.

If you're looking for more simplicity then power then there are a million great cameras out there. I'm pretty sure I got my father this one from Sony. I knew he'd be thrilled with it so I didn't put much effort into picking it out. I saw 8.1 mega-pixels and the price (which the website says...

Unless the floor just got waxed because of some inspection and then your DI tells you slide on it which result in scratches that are probably still there..... just hypothetically of course. But yeah, push ups, sit ups and legs are all you really need to work on. Even bear crawling isn't worth...

I think that site links to it, but if you're seriously considering an RV you need to check out Van's Air Force and if you'd like to see what you can do with an extremely large budget and plenty of time (like we all don't have those two) check out Paul Dye's bird. Amazing.

Interesting video clips...

Click here and make sure to call the number for the Officer recruiter. There is a huge difference.

Plenty of people switch careers, myself included. You're chances are as good as you make them. As far as majors go, that has been covered a million times but I'm in primary right now with plenty of people with BA's in all sorts of liberal arts degrees.

You make a great point here. I was watching some awful crap on the Military channel extolling the virtuous of something when I realized that that entire channel is nothing but propaganda. When you actually know that we screwed the pooch a few times, it makes our success all the more impressive...

You're "in the military" when you take your oath, if your landlord gives you grief, let your recruiter know ASAP.

Glued to it now. I can't believe they got Neil Armstrong to go along with an interview.

Nice job dude. Do you know yet if they'll force you into the BOQ?

I'm a little late to this thread but I saw this documentary on Discovery HD a few weeks back and thought it was great. It addresses the case of landing humans on Mars in the very short term and breaking out of low Earth orbit and NASA's stagnation, as Dr. Zubrin puts it. I remember reading...

It was off-campus. How do they have the right to do that?

Does she even give a reason why? Other then the obvious Republican = evil argument that way too many people actually believe. That catty BS is what's wrong with everything.

One of the (many) drawbacks of Newport. No real parade ground, so make do with a tiny gym. Still, the people who have swords drill a good amount.

Couldn't any white scarf bare a resemblance terrorist head-gear? I'm no Jihad-stylist but they all look pretty similar to me. It's a sad state when one cry-baby can influence large companies....at least she didn't call for someone's firing.....yet.

The bags are new now and you can keep them, but DIs now have the option or had the option I guess of choosing snow or sand. As far as curls ups go Tiz, just don't rest, trust me on this one.

I think this belongs in the "stupid questions about naval aviation", rather then OCS. Regardless, to answer your question, check this site out.

5 days after graduation is the norm for OCS. Good job Ken, now enjoy the hell out of A-pool and try to remember you don't have to march everywhere now.

It sounds like it crashed for some reason then splitting in half, but the article isn't exactly clear (especially the r/w 220 line...). Any better articles out there?

As far as restaurants go, I'd say the Black Pearl hands down.

Your body does take a pounding and it kicked my ass for about a week till I got used to it. I run on the beach so it's as easy as it could be on my joints and only run for 3 miles with some sprints thrown in. If you're a long distance runner, I wouldn't advise using this. I know a bunch of...

I've been training with one for a few months now. I ran my best time at the last PRT and I'm feeling better each time I run. I'm sold on it 100%.

If it was enough for my slow ass, it's enough.

2 minutes. One candidate counts while another one exercises then switches. Then I forget how much time before the run, but it's enough.

It's not like Master Guns just picked some dude out of the blue. DI's don't do anything by random chance, everything has a meaning and a purpose behind it. That candidate did something to get put into H that he shouldn't of done and he will be set straight.

A few years off depending on where you're talking. There has to be a lot of changes.

That's H-class. They hurt themselves and are stuck there rehab-ing till they class up. All PT is done either outside or in the gym next door when it's too cold.

^^Negative. I'll get it done at some time I'm sure, but not for a while. Everyone I know who was IFS complete went straight into API unless things have changed.
