Congrats Mules! Was it a drought, draft, or somewhere in the middle?

Only if you didn't inhale.

Probably dumb question, but are automatic knives legal in CA? My understanding is No. What about RI, FL?

The only way that is possible (which is true that it is possible), is to be selected by the board (Pro-Reced), sign the paperwork for that community, but then either fail the next steps (PRT, MEPS, Security Clearance submission), and have them not select you as a final select, or just for some...

Yes, for BDCP: You apply for a specific designator (up to 3), and you are either accepted or not, into that designator. Meaning that in order for you to get into to the program, you have to be accepted into a designator you applied for (and then choose to agree to after they accepted you). The...

Eh, I will take a somewhat confusing idea of the exact location and date over the counseling center's employment line. It's a good shot that we have been given, and it's up to us to make the most of it. Besides, I think half of the fun is the uncertainty of details.

Makes sense Wink. BTW in case it was read in a manner that I was saying oh I deserve something for my 'active duty' I surely was not saying that. Merely trying to call a spade, a spade. If the correct answer to the question is no, then I will put no; I want to put the correct answer (which was...

Well to extrapolate for those of you unfamiliar with FAFSA and/or BDCP. The key part is "for other than training purposes". The idea is that if you are ROTC, PLC, or at an Academy, the answer is no. If you are not (not sure what they have in mind, since none of them have heard of BDCP, but I...

For question 54. Are you guys (BDCP) putting yes or no? My recruiter had stated that the answer was yes, but the FinAid office tried to argue that the answer was no.

Didn't know that, but probably should have guessed. The reasoning I mention that was because of the ensign's reference to the DI continuing to make life hell for them as Candios, which it sounds like isn't always the case? But yes, I do assume that the pre-reqs for being a DI include being a...

I was told (take that for the .0001 that it carries), that it is for keeping things (bugs, dirt, sticks, etc) out of our pants by sealing it at the boot. It makes sense to me...

So I was at my recruiters office yesterday and there was a brand new Ensign fresh out of OCS there. The gouge offered up on the move to Rhode Island is the following: The facilities will be indoors (track/gym) OCS classes will finish in Pensacola completely, then... DIs will run the new classes...

FWIW (to any other BDCPers out there): I was told by my counselor to email the Director of my school (Social Sciences), and explain the situation. A couple hours later I get a call from her telling me that it has been fixed and I can walk this June. Additionally, from looking at my campus...

SCAR-H or SCAR-L Maybe the SEALs can you lend you one?

That is amazing. Props to Australia for taking a stance I wish we could accept.

Not going to lie, it seems the people who do not post their statements on here get selected at a higher rate. I'd say write what you feel makes sense to you, let it sit for a couple weeks and see if it still makes sense (revise as needed). Give it a couple looks for grammar/spelling errors, and...

I am calling it now...

Wicked. This I suppose will be my first ever 'real' winter. I'll be there in January. Are we to assume this news article to be 100% accurate?

On the news they interviewed some public official who was 'disgusted' and 'appauled' and all sorts of other words meaning the same thing... at their lack of 'remorse' in court. WOW... what is worse is they are probably going to get hit with serious charges as a result of everyone freaking out...

It is two years as an undesignated enlistedmen. My understanding is that you can opt to designate and carry a longer obligation (I believe 4 years).

Usually the threads that are extremely common (like eyesight) are met with sarcastic replies... but I am curious, are they really sticking those without 20/20 natural, into P-3s/Helos? Not that there is anything wrong with those communities, only that this is the first I have heard of that.

In all seriousness, the life of a missler is no fun. The only guy I have any familiarity with that did the job developed some extremely odd social behaviors. The reason (I was told) they rock the 'bag' is as a 'reward' for the poor life style, and need for more comfortable clothing/uniform. I...

Yeaaa.... I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you on this one.

Hahaha no not a chick. But I have been here for 4 years and have a ton of friends here. So it would be nice to walk with them. Also, it would be cool to walk with the 15-20 other bros (read: I am a 'frat guy') that will be graduating at the same time. Besides, it is generally far from a sober...

I am graduating at 4 1/4 years (December 2007). The issue is the people who are in charge of the graduation ceremony (walking), won't let people walk in June 2007, unless you are finished with classes NLT summer 2007. This effectively means I cannot walk until June 2008. I am supposed to leave...

FWIW, you are going to be hurting real bad back at your Det. if you don't get picked up by the Navy. They won't like that you tried to jump ship, and it will make getting a rated slot much more difficult. Also, it honestly may be pretty hard to get a conditional release. Good luck.

From my post in the Gmaps thread: I was waiting to reply until my new case came. The case, by Marware, comes with a neoprene sleeve for the sensor so that you can attach it to regular (non-Nike) shoes. I just tried it tonight on my New Balance shoes, without calibration it read barely off (one...

Could one of you guys explain to the "un-washed": What is buying back? How does that work? Is retirement from the reserves the same pay as retirement from active duty?

I was waiting to reply until my new case came. The case, by Marware, comes with a neoprene sleeve for the sensor so that you can attach it to regular (non-Nike) shoes. I just tried it tonight on my New Balance shoes, without calibration it read barely off (one leg it showed at .502 miles, vs...

Agreed, that you tell him. Further, perhaps you ask him for a copy of the most recent application, and EPSQ (or download it online, sf86.pdf or something like that). Tell him that you are going to come back to him when your legal matter is settled, with better grades, a pilots license, a...

Amazingly. You setup your checking account so that you can transfer money back and forth. Then as you want either transfer money to, of from the ING direct account on their website. When it is in the ING savings account it automatically collects like 4.5% interest. You also have the option...

We had to wear a uniform once a week while I did AFROTC (the BDUs were definitely the best, I really did not like the Blues). I wore them at various campuses (mostly at UCLA), and around various cities while on the way to training stuff. Never had any bad experiences except for at UCI and UCLA...

The plane in the sights is an F-22 (looks like an F-16, but there is a V tail on it)? The cockpit is what kind of plane?

The wives corner is probably celebrating at this very moment.

My vote is the Cliff Note's book (as far as X-mas gifts the whole family can enjoy)! Especially if you have that overly smart/engineer family member, watching people try to solve unsolvable problems is a blast. (In case you didn't know, the Cliff's note version has tons of typos and incorrect...

The Birdseye Function is by the zoom slider. It is the icon with the skyscrapers on it. BTW using the line drawing toolbar you can use the maps to determine distances (the multi-dot plot tool). Using that I determined it is 83 yards from my house to the water at low tide. Cool website :)

Aren't you 20? If so... careful.

It was mentioned in this thread that they do online price matching, how is that done? Online chat always diverts to the away message. Phone calls have had long waits, etc. The email thing has yet to net a response. How do you guys get them to price match?

Oh... no... trust me I am fully enjoying all that BDCP has done to my college life. However, I would like to be as prepared as possible for OCS. Plus, I actually just enjoy working out and figured I could convince some other people with or without obligations to do so [work out]. Meh, probably...

My understanding is there are at least like 4-5 BDCP at my school, and I would take a wild guess at maybe the same for OCS. I know 3 USMC PLC Air guys who would be down. I can probably even swing some of the AFROTC/NROTC/AROTC guys. But I wanted the basis to be OCS/BDCP. If it was offered twice...

Contrails by Roger Thompson.

Has anyone in BDCP tried to organize a weekly PT for BDCP/OCS selectees? There is likely a lot of BDCP or OCS selectees around my area, and before I get putting too much work into this, I figured i'd ask the other BDCP people. If someone tried to get this going in your area would you...

The most 'painful' part is simply submitting a copy of your DOD ID. Apparently the membership has to be renewed every year. The website without a login has about 1/5 the amount of stuff that is available once you register.

You are in the same boat as I am. I have 3 quarters left, which is exactly how many it takes to get the promotion. Therefore, I cannot get the promotion (by the time it goes through I graduated). For BDCP from graduation from college, until completion of OCS you get E-5 pay. So the only...

Also as an FYI AAFES sells the Bose X aviation headset. Using the 25% off coupon that becomes a whole lot more appealing. I just found out Deers has my birth date wrong, which is why I couldn't log in for the longest time.

For anyone in BDCP: Do you guys get COLA also? I looked it up about a week ago and my area gets about 80-100 bucks COLA. I assume you would have to be in a pretty expensive area (it does not get much more expensive than L.A.), and we would have to qualify for it. So yes, does anyone qualify...

Just purchased a Citizen Eco-Drive watch today. So far so good. I also saw quite a nice collection of Breitling and Rolex watches, that GMT Master II looks amazing in person. One day ill get it. :)

I searched around but nothing on 2007 BAS. Does that mean BAS did not change, or is it just not yet released?

A4's you mean saw that. I suppose scoobs was right, the problem is worn. ;) (Please don't smite me!) As for the actual thread, I just wonder if this means appropriate measures will be taken to replace failing parts or if they will attempt to 'band-aid' fix everything to 'get by'. I imagine even...
