Well soda, if you really want a lightweight sports car.... 42k, 1,400lbs and 300bhp

Thanks for the online book!

On the Nurburgring: http://vettetube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=89124e2ce92984e04fb4 In other news, can someone tell a noob how to embed the video like mech did?

While I'm not a military pilot, I'm no fool. You get in a midair. You lose a wing and despite your best efforts, find yourself in uncontrolled flight. Whats the reaction that is instilled into military pilots? I do believe it's eject.

The tech for the hornet might be hard to field though - it's totally hands off while the computer takes complete control from the pilot. I'm pretty sure that if I lost a wing and wasn't controlling the jet that I'd eject first, ask questions later

Someone mentioned taking orders from gays and their thought process, so I thought I'd share this that I saw a while back: Study done that shows brain activity between hetero and homo males and females. Link to study...

Drink tonight, risk your career/life. Wait a few years, have a kick ass job and then get trashed after work. I don't think alcohol is worth it. And if you do, you might want to reconsider the job.

Well, I wish I watched more tv, but school owns my soul. The only thing that I can relate to with the DODT policy is scouts - as long as the power that be think you're straight, they don't care - but all of your fellow scouters just know. I figured that if you spent 6 months with a person who...

But why was coach getting off first? And they could have saved themselves the expense with the slide if they had only offered him the cockpit rope, sheesh.

Try calling the 800 number for the O recruiter that sooner posted - online it showed no recruiter near me, but the website lied. And depending on the degree, UH is thought well of from what I know

I've not served, but for those who have: don't you know everyones orientation anyway? I mean, how can you serve with these people and not know? I get the feeling that the politicians just want everyone outside of the unit to know too.

Think they might retract? Similar to the design on Russian fighters? I love the -5 and the -18, but I think they had an ugly baby...

Thanks spock ::Shudders:: That sounds painful

Yes

At least their expert knew what he was talking about and got his point across... too often it seems that they will get someone that can appear to the masses to be educated just scare people.

I found in an old thread that when doing pushups you had to have 'knife hands' with fingers and thumbs all pointing in front of you - is this still the case?

So do you bring your own sneaks with you to OCS or do they make you wear theirs? And I've heard all three on inserts: Yes/No/Don't get caught. Will they roll you back if your caught or something?

I love how the one informed person that they talk to refers to it as 'the safe way' and yet the entire piece is about the dangers of it, ha.

I know that the trip to get cert in a 767 (if currently cert in 757) is about 3 weeks (including school, sims and checkride). The buses that I've seen have armrest style joysticks.

Heres another one: I'll be graduating next Christmas, but I don't think that school will be offering any classes that I need next summer - if accepted, will they let me do OCS that summer, finish my last semester to graduate (that fall) and then ship out? (If it affects it, its my masters not...

I prefer just the 'f' - one of the few cases that shorter is better ;)

I can't just pin down one thing - its like going from a cobalt to a bmw3 - its all of the little things to come together to make one great product. Airbus seems to cut corners and shave pennies, with the end result a much cheaper product.

In case you don't already have this, good info: http://www.navy-prt.com/malestandard.html

Thanks for giving us the meat of that. As someone who works with both Boeing and Airbus products daily (ups), Airbus makes shitty, shitty products. Granted, the AF forgot to consult me on their decision, but as a whole I think that we would be doing a lot better with a Boeing product. And...

On a related note, what will be a problem for the security clearance? I don't have any problem in my personal background, but I have a few friends that have spent extensive time in China (and 2 are still there) and I was wondering if this will cause them some problems. I was interviewed for an...

Not really OCS, but this thread gets enough traffic to help me - I'm confused on the difference between Pro-Rec and final select - is pro-rec for when you're still in school and can't report for a while and final is them saying 'yup, your slot is still open' right before you ship out?

^Im guessing thats a long exposure, but if you're tanking and wearing NVG, wouldn't all that light blind you?

I don't know about what locations they're good at, but heres the list of websites I use (in order of quality): www.hulu.com www.sidereel.com www.veoh.com www.youtube.com I've heard good things about the slingbox, but they require good bandwidth on both sides.

So I've been watching the "Carrier" tv show and I have some Qs about the helmets - the Cmdr of the wing they are following has a different style helmet than any I have seen (he said it was $60k) with a funny 'bubble' on the top, if you will. Whats that for? Also, some folks have clear visors -...

Is the internet available in staterooms/common areas on a carrier?

Wait, lasik is now approved? Do you have a link for that?

My sentiments exactly - I mean, if they offer to let you fly and you pansy out? I don't get it, I'd to go hell and back (and hopefully, I will)

No volleyball? Damnit. In all seriousness though... what the hell do they have to do?

^Thanks for the info. And I know I'm hijacking a thread, and I do apologize, but I couldn't find it searching and I don't feel that I can trust a recruiter like y'all - can I take the ASTB and apply for SNA without signing up? ie to make sure I get into the program I want to be in?

I know this is an insanely noob question, but what do carrier pilots do (responsibilities) when they're not on a tour?

Awesome. Is there a rubric for this or is it just their impression of difficulty? And how much leniency are they giving? (I have a 3.05 in EE, if that helps you to give me odds)

Do they take into account difficulty of major when they look at GPA?

Thanks, I'm researching into that now. But I thought the AF is 20/70 uncorrected?

I'm glad that I found the stupid questions thread, I'm full of em. Here's my big one: will the Navy let me do the physical screening before I join? (My vision is borderline (20/36 - 20/45 depending on conditions) and if I can't fly in the Navy then I would rather go AF then not fly at all) Thanks!
