i feel stupid. R/W F/W???

this is how we roll in the corps of cadets at Texas A&M. http://corpshousing.tamu.edu/ follow the link and click on "incidents and damages" on the left side. "At approximately 12:05pm, a water balloon was launched at an employee of the Office of the Commandant. The water balloon was launched...

at A&M we do what is called "hocky pucking" where you pee in a dip can, freeze it, and slide the frozen block of pee under an upperclassmens door in the middle of the night and they wake up with pee in the middle of the room

I know this topic has been beat to death before, but I had a more specific question about IFS. I am on PLC air contract and from what I understand, recently a change was made allowing candidates to still do IFS, but it must be in Pensacola or Quantico. My question is will I be doing it during...

How does the flight physical work? I know I will get flown down to Pensacola for a few days, but how do I get around? Do I get a rental car or something? thanks

I am on PLC Air contract and a Marine pilot came with a king air and let me and a couple of others take turns flying it.

I was restricted to 90-100 words. Make sure when you do it you spend however long it takes to make it look perfect. No scratchouts or whiteouts.

My OSO sent my package in a few weeks ago and he said results would not be back untill sometime in January. Is this what you heard?

I dont know if you have taken it yet or anything, but since you can take it 3 times you might want to just study the book and take the test once to see how you do. I got an 8/9/9 with just a couple hours of studying and I had never been in a cockpit or taken ground school. Its all about what...

I was looking through all the old posts I could find on the subject but could not really find a definit answer for this. USMC, Navy, and CG all co through flight training together, right? At what point do they actually split off and start training with only their own branch? Also, i read that...

this is obviously a joke

I have turned in my application to the OSO and it is up to him now to send it off to the board. I have not filled out any sort of waivers yet, is that somehting that I need to include with the application or is it done after after I hopefully get selected? The only medical stuff included was...

alright I think I understand. I am going to Juniors this summer, lonestar so hopefully I will see you there.

My stats were all passing he said. 3.6 gpa 240 PFT 8/8/8 ASTB, eyesight 20/80 correctable to 20/20 with contacts. Thanks

I just signed my contract for PLC air a few hours ago. He explained what the process is, but I still don't really understand. My OSO said that right now I am "contracted", but the Marine board will look over my info in January and give me final approval. Does this mean that I will not know...

just got back from the flight. It was a King air. Pretty cool, the Captain let me fly it for about 10 minutes.

I signed up for an incentive flight schedualed in a few days. My OSO set it up but he had no idea what type of aircraft would be coming, or pretty much anything else about it. I am guessing it will be a t-44, would you guys agree? Also, are there normally any special instructions on what to...

I am applying PLC air right now with 20/80 in both eyes and accoring to everything I have heard (including my OSO) I am fine, as long as its correctable to 20/20

according to my OSO, contacts are a go for PLC aviation

So PLC is unaffected by this?

What does this mean? Does that mean that those of us currently applying for PLC air are screwed? (Soph in college)

I'm going to try to refraise one of the questions for my sake. For a non-tech major, can you apply BEFORE you have the required number of hours? (So as to not recieve pay untill reaching the mandated number of hours but still be on contract). thanks

Alright, I just finished freshman year. In January I applied for NROTC(3 year) and did not get it, becasue even though I had a high GPA I am majoring in economics. However, the officers at my school are able to hand out one NROTC contract every so often to whomever they see fit. They only had...

Thanks for the responses. So Doc, I have taken the civilian physical and they recorded my vision at like 20/80 I think. DOes this mean that I can still get accepted to the flight program, then maybe get PRK or apply for a SCL waiver after that? thanks

I have learned never to believe anything a recruiter tells me without getting verification first. I am in the NROTC college program at my school and I talked to a Marine recruiter. Can sombody tell me if what he told me is true or false? 1. You can get a flight spot guaranteed before you...

I applied for a 3 year scholarship a month ago, and I keep hearing people talk about checking a website to see the status of their application. Does a site like this exist for 3 year NROTC scholarships? I know results dont come out till early May, but it would be nice to know my apps status...

Hey I applied a month ago for a Navy 3 year NROTC scholarship, and I keep reading posts about sites you can visit to see your applications status. Does such a site exist for 3 year NROTC? I know I have a while till dicisions come out but it would be nice to know. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. What is a CP though? I am in the NROTC program at my school but not on contract. The officer dealing with my application works for the NROTC program at my school. Thanks.

I am applying for a NROTC scholarship (3 year) and I have met with my recruiter taking care of my package a couple times already, but really I have not done any of the applicaiton work myself. Basically I have given him basic information about myself, but nothing in depth at all. I have asked...

If I was to apply for a 2 or 3 year Marine scholarship, could I still request specifications in the Marine Corps? I know in 4 year scholarships you can get a guaranteed spot in flight school. Also, although aviation is not out of the question I probably don't want to fly. Is there a way I...

I talked to an officer the other day (seahawk pilot) who is going to be helping me with my application and he had not heard anything about the non-techs not getting contracts.

thanks for the info guys. hey rigger, do you mean texas A&M? I am in the corps there.

I am a non-contract freshmen in an NROTC program looking to apply for a 3 year navy contract. I have already spoken with an officer at my school and he said so far I am on track to get one exept for the calculus/ physics requirments. I am not currently taking any becasue I am a non-technical...
