Not to discourage, but my recruiter has told me about lots of applicants that have come through his office. Apparently PAO is one of the harder spots to get. They only take a few people per year, and most of them have pretty extensive media history (or another similiar background). Good luck...

Haha, so I managed to distract myself from all this board talk... But now hearing that it may have happened (after waiting all summer for everything to be good to go), I am really excited. I will post up the second I hear anything from my recruiter. Good luck everyone. As for it being 9/11, it...

I agree that the AFOQT is harder. Oddly enough I did much better on it then I did on the ASTB despite being up all night the night before for Arnies. AFOQT: 89p/89n/91q/87a/68v (out of 99) ASTB: 59/7/7/7 (out of 80/9/9/9) I had also been consistantly told that the boards were later in the...

I believe the original board date was the 21st (Thursday). However, my recruiter said that according to his info (when I posted) it had been moved to the 11th. I believe that is accurate to the best of what knowledge is available. As for OCS selections, I don't know if they select before the...

I know this is posted about every month, but its a new month, so time for a new thread. All false alarms aside for good. I am going to be reviewed at the next board. I am extremely excited, and defintely owe it to a few people on here who have helped me get the assistance needed. You know who...

2LT + 1LT = 30 2LT + CAPT = 45 1LT + CAPT = 35 Ok, since you have Captain on both #2 and #3, you know that the only reason #2 has 10 more than #3 is because there must be 10 more 2LTs than 1LTs. Using that knowledge, subtract 10 from #1 (30-10=20). Divide by 2 as there are two groups...

Fantastic! Congrats to the new selectees.

Probably went something like this: Now? No, not now. Now? No... not now. Now? Soon.

Another round of 'force shaping' from the Air Force... I remember hearing that part of this started from having too many Officers in proportion to enlisted (perhaps due to an increasing rate of college education nationally?). As for the Navy, from what my recruiter talked to me about yesterday...

I agree with above... I personally love tan white girls, and SDSU has that on lock. USD does have some amazingly hot girls, but it just doesnt compare to SDSU. State however collectively represents the mental capacity of a decent private high school.

Haha, maybe down the road. No disrespect to the ZO6 ducts, just at first I thought to myself oh its a ZO6... then quickly realized it was not. (BTW ZO6s are not all they are cracked up to be, by a long shot). Its a nice looking car for sure... Sent a PM regarding the other question.

Hmm... FRC/ZO6 Roof... ZO6 Brake ducts.. no ZO6 front screens.. no ZO6 wheels (97-99 Wagon Wheels). My guess is its a 99 FRC that just has ZO6 brake ducts on it.

No clue if this was said as I really didnt feel like reading 6 pages worth of posts about Facebook/MySpace... For Facebook set your account to private, where they must be your friends to view your page. Otherwise they can just see the small picture and the add friend/send message dialouge (like...

Have any of you tried the Soft G Kneeboard (same company)? (See attachment)

If you cannot get in to SDSU you should really consider how hard you tried in high school. Oh and I think this might be the first time I have ever pimped out my school: Go Anteaters! (UC Irvine) Yea our school mascot sucks, but we have a ton of einsteins running around that are making my...

I personally hate the idea of an all unmanned fleet... However as for capability gain. Without a pilot there is a ton of extra fuel that can be stored (weight savings plus the space if they made the removal permanant and used the pilot space for fuel storage). Plus not having a pilot means...

Good luck. Make the best of it.

Thanks for the hard work, and keeping this site running.

You mean there is an existance outside of what my 21 years of expertise in everything has provided??? ;) LOL thanks for the link.

I wouldnt look at it as wasting time... unless you waste it while doing either. As for your options, as with everything else. Apply and find out. You never know what might appeal to the right person and you get in. If it doesnt work out, find a JC either at home or by the school you want to...

Wait... they let citizens visit that??? I am surprised I have never heard of ANYONE who has been there before that picture. How does one go see that stuff, or is it not allowed anymore?

The advice above is solid. They are spot on... apply now. Hope for the best, if it does not work out, no worries. You now have new positions, a better GPA, more flight hours, etc. Keep applying until you hit the age limit, then get a waiver :) Good luck.

What was more surprising to me was all the craters on the ground that turned out to be under ground nuclear weapons tests. That sealed off "Nevada Test Site" has a ton of disclosed and undisclosed interesting facilities.

Maybe A4's can offer a tactical training course at his home in Hawaii. And... at the end of the day limes!

Haha im curious as to what the 3 posts above said about my post... My info on the F-16 engines came from a B-1 pilot I know at EAFB.

Im not in the military so I dont really know what I am talking about... But that video has a disclaimer at the end with a FOUO notice on it. Don't want you to get in trouble for posting it..

Word has it as ~16AUG

As always, Wiki knows all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Skies_Treaty After reading the whole document, it appears this may not be as relevant as my Professor made it seem (The exact same question was asked in class: How can Google Earth put pictures of military bases on the internet?)...

Open Skies Treaty or Act or whatever... That's how the bases 'outside of Nellis AFB' were found. The government would strongly prefer not to have the pictures taken I am sure, but they don't get much say. As a runner-up prize they do know when the pictures can be taken and know if there is...

Well the Mythbuster has already shot me down, but here is the link to the thread (post #5) http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17577&highlight=f-111

I could be wrong but I think Brett may be thinking of the F-111 post from the RAF a few weeks back. As for the B-1, it is damn sexy. With 4 F-16 engines strapped to its belly its defintely produces quite a roar.

Lets revist my helmet question? Sun shade/visor on that helmet? I can't be the first to have thought of that, and I can think of no way for one to fit on that helmet. Maybe aviators of the future have photochromatic eyes...

The use of carbon fiber is pretty sweet. How will the helmet have a sun visor though?

From the email... Or are you saying the Navy should make an instruction specifically saying for Navy personel they are banned?

Wow... I am not only impressed that he covered all the topics, but that he also spent that much time to write such a detailed email. I don't know if you happen to have a high rank and that's why, but if that's any indication as to the thoroughness of responses one can expect, that is impressive.

The biggest thing to remember when taking Creatine is to hydrate. Drink a gallon and a half every day. Its good for your body, and it will keep you from having organ issues/dehydration which is easier to get with the use of Creatine. Glutamine really shouldnt be banned, I would be extremely...

BTW Some of the recovered MiGs and SUs from Iraq have made their way to Nellis AFB. Including a Mi-24 Hind. You get to play around in them, I have some pictures from a tour. Anyways thanks for the info. That sucks that they choose to destroy so many planes, but I suppose its better that than...

Awesome pictures. What is the story of the MiG?

After reading the info/stats on the X11 (DCs version of the Bose X) it sounds pretty awesome. Has anyone tried one?

No but burning it in a joyess dance in the streets has the inverse property. Think about it... to spite the oil companies/SUV makers/evil George W. Bush, Green 'Peace' or some other whack job outfit burned a bunch of Hummers at dealerships. Wait... what??? I swear I feel like I dont really...

But if I wanted to burn the American flag, and shout down with the US... thats still encouraged right?

Perhaps a retarded question, but can any of these ARs be purchased by a CA citizen, for use in CA?

Sounds like a Chuck Norris Joke to me. If Chuck Norris jumps in the water he does not get wet; the water gets Chucked. Speaking of which, why doesnt Chuck Norris have any hair on his balls? Hair doesnt go on steel.

Thanks for all the help. Yea I actually may try to talk him into BDCP to be honest, or PLC if he is interseted in Marines. He said he's interested in Aviation or SpecWar when I talked to him last for a second yesterday, but I think thats all he knows of. Im pretty sure hes in the serve...

One more question: For AFROTC you contract at the very latest the very first thing in your 3rd year. You apply for your rated slot a couple months later and find out the results in the spring (therefore you Contract before you find out what it is you will be doing). For NROTC same process? Do...

Yup I got the OCS concept down. Thats what I am in the works for (just waiting for the next BDCP board to meet). He emailed me saying Navy, but I have no idea what his intentions are. I figured i'd give him as much info as I could, especially since if hes going to go to USC or UCLA (only two...

Awesome thanks for the info. My first concern (which I am sure will be his) is the day count per week commitment. Since our school has zero ROTC programs, he will be a cross-town at whereever he goes (I believe the two closest are UCLA and CSU Fullerton). Its a GOOD long drive to each of...

So one of my good friends wants me to talk to him about going into NROTC. He is a real good guy, and would be good for the military, but I dont know much about NROTC... I had some experience with AFROTC, and have since decided to apply for the Navy. From my reading on here I have learned a...

I have used mostly David Clarks. For quite a while I had 13.4s that I borrowed from my cousin that I thought were awesome. If I were to buy my own headset I think I might try to get one with ANR, but since I have yet to use ANR I dont really know how useful it is. My instructor has the ANR David...

Hahahaha... I was going to say... I would be disappointed seeing any great vessel of any sort be named in his honor. This thread more than makes up for it. Good post :thumbup_1
