I'll tell you one thing, whether any rumors are true or not has NO bearing whatsoever on your chances. Truth be told, you don't need to know anything special to succeed. Just show up with what you're supposed to have, and bring your good attitude, and you'll be fine.

How did your student loan payment get to be more than most people's mortgages?

Will be toasting you from Pensacola, dude. Congrats! Edit: oh, I guess this was awhile back. Still, congrats anyway!

Out the back gate is pretty nice, I live there. A lot of military live out here, so it's pretty uneventful. (knock on wood) I heard about this, quite disturbing. :icon_rage Pensacola, classy as always. :rolleyes:

I just don't think it's very healthy to be celebrating death, even a criminal, but I am glad justice will be served, and relatively swiftly even.

The catch here, is that the non-participating location is their bar. ;) That said, I do love me some bloomin' onions. I, for one, am In.

Oh, jeez...bear crawls through goose sh*t and broken clam shells, right guys? :) I also had a lot of "fun" doing the lunges with your whole class arm-in-arm, down the big line...remember that one? What else do you guys remember liking best? ;)

I'd say...keep a straight face anyway. :) Addendum: the priors in my class were generally quite serious and locked on, and did pretty well.

If you've been watching the TFR's, you can see when they do test flights. Great big purple-bordered playgrounds, in the sky.

I'm pretty sure it's written into an obscure verse of the DOR policy! ...but who ever gets close enough to read that? :D

I had an even worse GPA. I'd say you got a shot...BUT: it's going to be a ton of work, a life-changing commitment, and on average will take a great deal more effort than your desk job. It's not for everybody, no harm/no foul if you want a less stressful job... To point: it's worth applying...

:d

Ah, so that means no more NFO's teaching NFO's, right? (how does that line go?)

Wow, it may just be one of those days, but I'm still confused. What were you hoping to learn from this information?

After, when I was trying to analyze what the movie made me feel like. :eek: Boy, you homophobes sure know how to ruin a great analogy with your repressed lashing out! ;)

Ants are commies! (especially the red ones) Case closed.

My point was, it was intimately uncomfortable. Mission accomplished! Edit: I do like T&A, it would have been nice to trade some of that in. That would have balanced everything nicely with the really funny parts for the trifecta.

Yeah, that was a convenient excuse to make a movie about it, alright.

It sucked. There were some good parts, but mostly it was like Quentin Tarantino jerking off in your face and ejaculating blood and guts all over you. There was no real point.

I was about to buy some last fall, and the kind I wanted sold out. I'm glad someone else tried them out first; I think I'll get me a pair.

That, and I find it ironic that your profile hobbies include spending as much time with your son as possible. At this point, at his age...just my personal opinion, but isn't there some other career option available? Sounds like this might be pretty tough to be missing not one, but two parents...

I always think it's a good facepalm whenever I hear polls of how many americans think it should be illegal to burn flags... ...when that's the proper way to retire them, too. Oh, ignorance...

Doesn't sound feasible, right now. And if it were, at a high premium of energy. We'd have to be sorely desperate for oil.

Well, this site should give you a list of what's out there: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/officerjo2/a/menu.htm Keep in mind, nothing is going to be quite like the movies. It's a job, and it's a lifestyle. As for choosing...surely you feel drawn to some more than others? That's how I...

Dude. It's not a big deal to muster in whites; they're cooler in the heat anyway. The API people will always figure out fun games to keep you occupied while you're in A-pool and don't have anything better to do. That being said, I always resented it, just a little...the rest of us weren't...

Grr... :icon_tong

This is a good question, I'm interested in hearing the more experienced voices on this, as well. Edit: and please don't say Pensacola. A question though, it almost looks like after you retire you want to live on a base? wtf for? I'm putting in a nomination for Omaha, NE. Except for the...

And a sense of humor, or just join the Air Force. :)

We were taxiing out before the show, looked like a pretty big turnout. I got a brief kick out of pretending they were all there to see us. :D Seriously though, I'm sorry I missed it, the Blues are always a good time.

MasterBates could give you a whooooole lecture on this topic. I suppose though, in A-pool, you have more time than in any phase so far.

Dude. They won't try to trick you, I promise. Did you have any specific concerns? The forms they use for enlistment are the same for everyone. They won't try to slip something in there to make you a SWO or seaman recruit. That being said, you enlist as an E-5 until you commission at OCS, so...

First, you should probably decide what you're looking for. This isn't just a job, it's a lifestyle, and not always an easy one. If you were to decide, after much research, that it was for you, the process goes as follows: You get in touch with an officer recruiter and tell them you're...

I remember when I first started training for OCS, I'd get shin splints pretty bad. I eventually realized I was pounding my heels when I ran, which was yanking on my shin muscles. I got a new pair of shoes, took it easy til it stopped hurting, and started stepping with the flat or ball of my...

Well, like Rocky said, IFS is pretty self-evident. I know your tendency is to try to find all the gouge, but all you really need to do is put in the study time and pay attention. If you need help, just ask your instructor. That's what they're there for. I'm not sure you even get your...

Good scores folks. Keep up the good performance.

Word.

*I* know where you're coming from, but at the time would you have listened to people? I'm just saying, from experience, guys usually have to learn the lesson the hard way. (if they have to learn it)

I'm sure it will work itself out. She'll have to ease up a bit or he'll have to give up his career, but either way, I think we've made our point. Call off the dogs, boys.

A beautiful document, to be sure. It really gets me stoked to be part of a country founded on such reason and ideals.

So you're saying that although it worked in this case, it could easily be abused in other circumstances?

I might as well keep my head down and qualify up front that I'm no expert, but isn't this what was supposed to happen? A guy made a play towards dictatorship, supreme court ruled in favor of the constitution, and the executive branch acted quickly and decisively to fix the problem. Maybe...

On the other hand, this was direct to the point and expedient, for a change. I, for one, find it refreshing that justice be dispensed so quickly without being mired in simpering red tape.

No worries, part of the function of basics is to hammer out dents like this guy. He'll learn sooner or later, or else. Shame there's no gunny around though. I like the Corps style of doing these things.

Bump!

Cool rig sir, I'm just starting my first smoking season myself. We should post some good smoker recipes on here too.

We sure got treated like it, IIRC. So that's where you got your rep back in the day :eek:

Thanks. You gonna check it out?

Hell yeah man, congrats. I'll try and make it!

Hey, it's that time again. Roommate got P-3's and headed off to JAX, so we need a roommate. It's a house out the back gate about 10 minutes, equidistant to downtown and the Florabama for partying. Nice neighborhood, predominantly military, 5 mins to Perdido beach. The other two of us are...

Yeah, pretty much! As for running, you can definitely be slow and move up. I started out towards the back of the medium group and later I moved up to the fast group (because you can). It DEFINITELY pays dividends on your speed on the out-pfa. More importantly, in your fitness I guess...
