And to answer the question; from what I have gathered from all the students in front of me they take the guy with the best boat scores and give them prowlers. Waveoff is the term for going around without hitting the deck. And top hook is the guy with the best landings. So if you want hornets...

Any of you rag folk heard when the Growler will be along? My brother works for the gov't and he sent me some pictures of an E/F-18. Same frame as a Super Hornet but different avionics and jammers and the like. I still don't know if thats what they are going to use to take the Prowler mission...

It only works with FS98 or did a few months ago. It works great for course rules, pattern work, and other maneuvers. Just to get the procedures down at least. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

No one is talking about kingsville because the first class to start since july classed up last week. I've been done with primary since may 2nd and I start next wednesday. Its about damn time. And kingsville almost got submerged two nights ago. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

I had no wait from API to primary, but that was 11 months ago. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

Ha ha. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

There aren't any C's in Kingsville yet. Someone was telling me it was better to CQ in a 45 A because you didn't have the velocity vector to use as a crutch. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

I play golf. And I substitute teach at the high school. All you need is a degree and you get paid fifty bucks a day. Its not much, but its better than getting fat. I work out a lot too. Good thing the seat can launch a 205 pound kid without a waiver. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

Oops. Thats what I meant. I'm stupid. Its the marine rag though right? Honk if you demand satisfaction.

Its the Goshawk. It calls it the T-45 too. The add on was made by the navy so its got all the graphics and everything. Just the A variant though. But the C is for losers anyway. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

Jet noise gives me wood. The planes are most likely going to Oceana. They have the best fascilities to take care of planes that big. I haven't been to Meridian yet, but they already have three training squadrons there so they might not have enough room or air space to handle all of that...

Ya, I'm waiting in Kingsville. But my start date got moved up from January to Nov. 4. So I'm happy again. I've still been done with primary since may 2nd. So my wait will be six months and two days. They are out of money here too. They're all waiting until the first of october. And there...

I know a guy who was in the HC squadron in Sigonella. He said it was really awsome. Sort of like being a P3 pilot with the per diem and all. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

Hey. When you do partial panel in the T-34 and you are doing timed turns or trying to stay on the same heading, just look at the NACWS. Your heading is on the top and failing the gyro does nothing to it. Also, in RI's some instructors will dial in the waypoint for your point-to-points. Then...

I never had that problem installing FS2002 so I can't really help. But the add on will only work with FS98. There are people around that have it and I heard that if you show the wing FS2002 they will loan you a copy of 98 to load instead. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

Ya, my bad about the det thing. I heard about the gun pattern in China Lake while I was there in May. Something like a Z or box pattern? I don't remember that well. Sounded tough on the old body though. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

They are sending a weps det from Kingsville to El Centro next month. I hope I get to go on one. I didn't know there was a range in KS. Are those arresting gear going to be rigged all the time? Or is it emergency/special request sort of thing. Honk if you demand satisfaction. Edited by -...

As of October, CTW-2 won't be teaching a gun syllabus to students any more. Thats good because it shortens training time by some, but bad because guns are cool. But its good because the T-45 has no gun, but bad because you won't have any gun experience when you get to the rag. Also, the E2/C2...

I guess they could have shot it down with a missile from a ship at Norfolk maybe. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

Most of us are waiting for two reasons. First is they have too many jet pilots right now. Most that were getting out right after sep 11 stayed in. And the other reason is they cut navy kingsville wingings by 20 for fiscal 03. So I can't start until I can finish in 04. Meridian is faster now...

The hardest thing was jumping off the platform and swimming under water with the boots on for however far it was. And that wasn't even that hard. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

If you really want to have fun in a jet, get stationed at China Lake CA. Then get yourself a warning area and tell them your are dropping below radar. They say OK and you go have fun. Its pretty cool to go 550 knots 150 feet off the deck in a super hornet and lock up cars with your attack...

Forcing the plane down with the fighter would be next to impossible. Both planes would have been destroyed. The aerodynamic forces are much larger around the bigger plane than the fighter. It would have been sucked into it most likely. Then bad things would have happened. There are...

What are you planning to major in? Music might not be a good choice. But a tech degree isn't really needed anyway. My astb scores were like yours and I have a EE degree. Now I'm in the jet pipeline. I had no prior flight time either. Its all about your monkey skills and how well you can...

Flying a flight sim on computer now and then will help the orientation part. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

You can have a tattoo as long as you can't see any part of it while in a uniform. So shoulder/back/foot are usually ok. But they really don't like it when you have one. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

They don't let pilots take creatine because it makes you really dehydrated and can cause heart problems. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

I've got a permanent bridge in my mouth and they didn't say anything. They'll just check it out and make sure its up to the really high naval dental standards. Don't worry about it. You really have to screw yourself up to get DQ'd. I broke my hand my senior year in college and they didn't...

Are you going for a marine slot? I thought the highest Navy section score requirement was 5. But its been like four years since I took the test. So what do I know. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

Maybe you are just trying too hard. Is the flying second nature to you yet? Usually I just went over all the brief items first and got them down. Then I just did a quick review of EPs. Then I'd go over all the chapter four numbers. My buddy made this excell spread sheet thing that helped...

The USB ports on my motherboard have never worked. I had the same problem you have. I just ended up getting a four port USB adapter card. They only cost like 30 bucks and they actually work. Honk if you demand satisfaction.

Ray here, Playing with myself here in wonderful Kingsville waiting to start. I just got the stupid USB ports on my computer working and I picked up MS Flight Sim 98. I know there is a T-45 add-on with the cockpit and scenery for FS98 but I can't find it on the web. And ever since 9/11 the...

Grades are about half the issue. Timing is the other half. I selected jets out of primary when it was easy to do so. Four of us out of Corpus selected jets that week. We sort of caught it near the end of the jet push. A friend of mine with a 57 got E2/C2. The month before me you could have...
