so, how exactly does somebody get prof. rec? is it derived just from a quick once-over on the application? "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

I must honestly say that kimphil's been keeping this site interesting... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

glad to hear you did alright...sorry about the confusion..didn't mean to make you think there was actually inverted flight, was just trying to tell you that the ARCO book most definately didn't cover the angles you would see. Good luck with everything else! "Push the stick foward, the houses...

I grew up in NYC and have been to Harlem quite often, as i have friends who live there and go to school with me. Neighborhoods in my native Brooklyn are similiar to those in Harlem as well. While for the older generation it may be to late, the younger ones CAN work their way out of their...

I've got the same issues as EA-6B1. My girl seems to have this awful perception of what having to relocate really means. She is also reluctant to have to move anywhere that's more than an hour from her family. She absolutely supports my decision to become a Marine pilot, but it upsets her...

I've been doing 5 sets of 30 starting with a 1 minute rest in between. As i progressed I decrease the rest time until I'm doing 150 straight. Just another sample of what could work... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling...

You should see the get rich quick crap that goes on in the neighborhood where my mom has to teach..they scout for people that look reasonably well off and then pull some really sleazy stunts...like put their foot under a car stopped at a light and beging screaming that they just had their foot...

i took it this february and yes there was reading comprehension. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

"Kimphil's here to save the daaaaay!!!" <sung to Mighty Mouse Theme> ----and here we go....... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

great pic...I love the sunlight shining on them in the underground station...lol "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

hehe....it explains hillary's election to the New York State senate....She buys a house here, shakes a few hands, doesn't actually move in, claims to be a New Yorker, gets elected by the grasshoppers of New York, sells the house, sends her husband to Harlem, invites Satan to live in upstate New...

It just means be ready to be able to tell what extreme turns look like from inside a cockpit, like what you would see from an areobatic plane; don't be suprised to see the ground where you think the sky should be... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get...

i practice capoeira (looks a bit like break dancing, hehe). It's a great martial art, hardly any blocking, mostly avoidance and take downs when it gets serious. While I wouldn't be stupid enough to try to take on my self-defence intructor with this sort of thing, I'm sure the avoidance and...

Enishi is right about varying your running speed. Your muscles will perform according to how they are trained. If you want your muscles to move fast, you have to train them to do so. You run like a madman 4 days a week, but you're only doing distance, then the only improvement you will see is...

For you guys that went through OCS, what was TBS like afterwards? Did you find it easier (being prepared for it in some way) considering what you just came from, or was it just an extension of the pain? hehe. thanks. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get...

yeah I had spoken briefly to a Navy recruiter..he seemed hell-bent on sticking me in a submarine...besides the Marine route seemed a lot more appealing to me... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger...

eh, the should move it to Buffalo, we get snow drifts that cover houses, lol..it would be a work out just trying to leave the house.. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

lol, honestly, that has never crossed my mind as far as wanting to be a military aviator...I would've thought that they would only give out medals for extraordinary situations instead of doling them out for seniority...but then again I am naive to the whole process seeing how I'm not even in...

I think you should be the one who has the drive and motivation to choose a branch that appeals to you. A lot of people go into the military to fly, but they're there because they want to be in the Navy, or they want to be in the Marines, etc... While I'm not in the pipeline yet, I think that...

what exactly does it mean to be "professionally recommended", and do people still get selected if they weren't? "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

My OSO told me to get them out before, just to be safe, that way you get all dental work (if any) out of the way before pcola...it would suck to be NPQ'd for something that trivial. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back...

Yeah, what's wrong with America Jr.? hehehehe "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

Kevin, my OSO won't even send me for my physical until I get my eyes fixed, so I can't send in my application until then. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

hehe...my father would belt me one if he caught me singing that around him...lol "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

cool, if that's the only test I have to worry about then I'm all set :) Load off my mind...:) "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

PRK has nothing to do with color vision. I'm just saying that you might want to check that you're meeting color vision standards before taking the leap to correct near-sightedness through surgury. And there are different types of Farnsworth lantern tests, mine was to put a bunch of paint chips...

Hey, here's a heads up to any of you future SNA's especially those of you who are going to have PRK. I would recommend having your color vision checked. If any are you are color weak like me, you may not know about it until it's too late. I fail the standard eye exam but I just took a...

I thought the F-35 was a vertical take-off, hover and vertical landing craft, replacing the harrier. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

LMAO!!!!!!!!! that's great... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

So this is training on what to do and how to survive if you went down behind enemy lines? Sounds like a rip-roaring good time, hehe. Since this is done after winging, has anyone lost their wings due to not being able to make it through this part of training? Or do they just recycle them...

WanaBpilot....doesn't getting PRK after you were already accepted disqualify you, meaning that you'd have to re-apply? "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

I knew I recognized that name from something...played that game once. It's amusing to see the computer planes pulling stunts that would produce enough G's to turn a pilot's head into yogurt. :) "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep...

I've heard of people getting the crap scared out of them... this is a new concept. hehe "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

true about the creatine..but I've always been wary about supplements. I always figure that if you eat correctly you get what your body needs. I eat balanced, if I feel the need to increase protein i will simply increase the amount of meat I give myself. I don't take outside vitamin sources...

eye drops "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

yeah, I found out mine the next day from my OSO. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

stevew..your first post up here, said that because you were worse than -5.50 that you had to wait 6 months. my eyes are -4.50 and -5.00. does that mean I only have to wait three months to get a waiver? "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless...

What does IFS consist of? "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

really? I was under the impression that they were only good for two years.... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

yeah, but LASIK's chances of healing properly are a lot less. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

LOL..oops...I think I just didn't notice that there was a second page to all this..sorry about that. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

what does IFS stand for? (I'm assuming it has something to do with flight hours) And what's the benefits of choosing your location for Primary at TBS? does it affect what pipeline you go into? Sorry, just a lot of questions from the new guy. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull...

yeah flight sim games are actually pretty good for that...I took the liberty of drawing a lot of my own examples that were much more exaggerated than the ARCO book, did them quickly without thinking about it too much so when I tested myself on them there were so many that it was almost as if I...

hehe...I understand totally how Jet Junkie feels about being a pilot or a "control freak". even if I'm in a car and somebody else is driving I'm nervous, I don't feel comfortable unless I'm at the controls. same thing with flight, going up in the small planes I was case of nerves until I got...

yeah..my graduating GPA is going to be a 2.3..horrible horrible stuff, mostly stemmed from laziness that I recovered from but am paying for. I kicked butt on the ASTB (8/9) and am trying to get that 300 PFT (got the 20 pullups and 100 crunches, just got to get that stupid run time down one more...

cool...well there you go..see? there's always somebody out there who's better informed :) "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

I really don't think there are any..I'm pretty sure it's a dead end if you've had it done. Sorry... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

yeah my parents weren't very happy at first...but they see that this is something I really want to do, so they're slowley coming around..although my mom wants me to go to grad school and at least think about being a doctor, lol, not gonna happen... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger...

well, I chose over hand because those are the muscles we'll have to use to get over the obstacle courses, or so I've been told. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

well mid-febuary I was at 12 pull-ups. You just have to commit to that push-up/pullup routine. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."
