    hours and types

    101.4 in the T-34 173.5 in the T-45 For 274.9 total. Seemed like I've flown less than that but wow.

    Navy Regs: Velcro Backed Leather Nametag

    I've seen both. I don't think it matters. Edit: My current one is sewn on and it was given to me by the squadron.

    780 BILLION dollar stimulus package

    Maybe they can actually balance the budget and pay down the debt like it should have always been paid down... It's happened before...

    Stupid questions about the Rhino (Super Hornet)

    Is there a "you are here" sticker I can use to figure out where we already are?

    Goose meets Jet Engine

    Concur on the 500 pounder. I don't think that thing would have the energy to keep moving for long. That and at 5 kts it'd be a lot easier to miss. Edit: +1 to Scoolbubba. I concur with that as well.

    Goose meets Jet Engine

    Frozen birds are actually a mistake. A frozen bird will do much much much more severe damage than a thawed bird. It's like the difference between a nerf ball and a baseball. Conservative doesn't quite cover the difference...

    Current Meridian Gouge for Upcoming Tailhook Selectees.

    There are times when its nice to fly twice a day... Like some of the latter tac form and acm flights which are just monkey skills after you get the basics understood. And there are flights that you want to have spread out and have a day between flights. Suffices to say that skeds will...

    WTF is A POOL

    Advanced students get canceled due to bad weather or lack of working aircraft or accidents. They buildup a pool of students who sit around and do nothing. This isn't good for advanced so they slow down the number of people selecting for advanced. This in turn slows down the primary selection...

    REEFER MADNESS

    I always thought the thing sucked. Too drafty. Now a reefer with an ike jacket underneath... That'll keep you warm through an ice age. And yes, the magic touch of sleep that the reefer conveys... Priceless. Even has a nice little neck brace built in.

    Navy vs Air Force

    Yeah I know the story and the guy. If you ask me the girl was a genius. Assuming I'm thinking of the right guy, their marriage ended in Corpus in divorce. She got half of everything. Smart investing on her part.

    Sounds like change is coming...

    I hate this arguement. Our gene's make up a lot of who we are. Our hair color, eye color, how tall we'll become, our chances for disease... So if you're saying that we can fix homosexuality by changing gene's, how long before we can fix other problems? Should we make everyone into a blond...

    I think he's right. This thread's only gonna get ugly. No one is going to change their ways here and now in this thread.

    In terms of not having sex yes, but if she was attracted to only women she would still be a lesbian regardless of is she was having sex or not. By not talking about their sexual habits. Are you required to talk about all the women you sleep with to be straight? It is agreeable. Honestly...

    Google doesn't even get it right. I googled it after I posted and you find people saying both answers. Anyone with an old school nintendo and Super C wanna figure out which is right?

    First Female F-22 Pilot

    45 minute helo break on carrier quals leaves you plenty of time to figure out how to piss in the jet. Sure the tower gets to look at your junk but who cares. Honestly the hardest part is trying to get everything back in and zipped up. I'd hate to piss while flying without some kind of auto...

    Flight Pay... WTF?

    Yeah but if I get per diem to go to El Centro or to a boat det somewhere, how come i wouldn't get per diem when actually deployed? If it covers food costs when I get sent to a government base, how come they don't have it for a government ship...

    Well that's awesome. I never heard of that before but it's good to know!

    2009 BAH is out

    O-2 no dep is 1125 for '08. For '09 it's 1116. Well that's odd. For O-2's it's going down, granted its a small difference, yet O-1's its going up...

    USS Lincoln CVN-72 CQ Det 12-08

    I owe the LSO 3 bottles... Not an ironman. Did not trap target wire first time. 8 outta 14 traps were not on the target wire. Below a 2.75 GPA. I did however win the odd/even bet. Sweet. From my understanding the LSO's made out this boat.

    The Neverending Callsign thread (Best/Worst/Funniest and where they came from)

    Let's see... We've had one guy down here go through about 4 callsigns in the past month... -Shirley was a storyless carryover from primary. -Frodo for his hairy feet. -Purge because he puked on his first tacform flight. The bag broke. He got it into a second bag. That bag also broke...

    Pensacola - Cultural Mecca

    Talking about gyms, the best base I've been to so far is actually Kingsville. Seems crazy I know but the gym has a hell of a lot of stuff, plenty of space, no one goes there so there's plenty of room and its quiet. The best part is that the new base CO wants to build an even better one. It...

    Which way is she spinning?

    It's harder to get her to go the opposite way once you get her going. Even after the switch getting her to go back is tough but doable.

    Government May Nationalize the Auto Industry

    You know part of the problem is that the auto companies have been defining efficiency as raw power. Part of their problem is that they have been creating more and more powerful engines to power all sorts of crazy electronics and many other gadgets that you don't truly need in a car. This truly...

    The Great Pirates off the Somali Coast thread

    From my understanding of the situation, they don't believe that military force will help. Political action apparently needs to ween these people off of piracy. Apparently they only came into existence by first defending their coastal fishing waters and then slowly built up as they realized...

    Letter of Introduction to new command still required?

    Reminds me of something they "issued" to us 2nd class year. They decided our clothing needed a formal touch to it so we had to buy "midshipman formal," aka a blazer, pants and naval academy tie. How many times did I wear that thing while at the academy... Zero. I did see some people wearing...

    Government May Nationalize the Auto Industry

    So why is it wrong if the government tells the "big three" what kind of cars to build? Seems they got themselves into this mess because they built the wrong cars anyhow. They seem insistent upon big trucks and fancy SUV's. Seems to me they screwed up and either we should a) let them die, or...

    Legal Age to Consume Alcohol and USNA Stories

    They need to get the firstie club back. There was nothing better than having a Forestall lecture and then racing over to the firstie club to double fist pitches of beer because you don't have any homework due the next day... Ah being an aero major had its perks sometimes...

    Navy vs Ohio State

    This reminds me of a friend of mine. He's from Ohio but he went to Navy yet he plans on cheering for Ohio in this game.... Seriously not going for your alma mater, that's just wrong.

    Well let's get an early win for the mid's out of the way then. Down with Ohio state!

    good news for those coming down

    The museum job was pretty sweet. Get out of muster, get a free flight suit. Spent about an hour or two every couple of days showing kids a flight sim. And when they were done you loaded the hornets up with missles and shot each other down until the next group came in... Sometimes...

    China Spacewalkin'

    Yeah we made it to the moon. Then people thought it was routine and stopped caring so we stopped going back and also let the technology die. No one today knows how those Apollo rockets worked. The technology was placed in mothballs and the people who created it grew older and faded. We once...

    PAR approaches?

    Personally, from my student experience, I love PAR's. All I need is a radio. The controllers tell me where to go. Granted it places a lot of trust in the controllers but its so much easier than tuning up an ILS and flying off an approach plate in a small cockpit with the thing strapped to...
