I remember that one....it was a good optical illusion...couldn't even see the boat:) "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

Just wanted to thank whoever it was for posting that Armstrong Pullup program, it really worked. Gave myself a max test this morning, banged out 30 with the overhand grip!! Now i just need to shave another minute-thirty off my run-time for that perfect PFT... "Push the stick foward, the houses...

From what I hear it's actually quite common. But your 20/40 uncorrected by a civilian doctor might very well be 20/60 when examined by a military doctor. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

If I were you I would do the same thing that I used to do before I had a major race. Taper-off the exercise for about a week to 2 weeks before you go. Start reducing the effort and distances put into exercise during those two weeks; DON'T sit on your ass though, just do enough to keep the...

yeah, I was told to document EVERYTHING for PRK (pre-op, during, and post-op) getting it in 2 weeks even though the study might end before I can get the waiver. Hey, better to have gone for it than missed out... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get...

yeah, I'd go in and play innocent...better to let them think they enlightened you to your condition than make them think you tried to hide it from them "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 don't know for myself yet, but I think that you'll find out for sure if you have what it takes at OCS. not to mention if you don't make pilot on your first application you'd want to keep applying, and that 27th birthday comes along quick. (I think that's the age limit anyway) "Push the stick...

hehe, well as for jibberish i can supply that. I'm trying to decide whether to apply for the airforce PRK study since the one for the marines is ending. Somebody was posting stuff about the airforce here, and from what I've understood it's even more competative. My gamble would be to reapply...

I'm a minority too (1/2 colombian, 1/2 lebanese). My father was born here but his father was from Lebanon. I worry about getting accepted into the flight program simply because my last name is arabic, even though my father has an excellent military record (he fought in WWII, was a radio...

I remember seeing this once show a real long time ago. I think my GPA dropped immediately after. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

"Superman can't have kids with Lois Lane; I bet he blows a load like a shotgun blast right through her back. And do you think Lois' uterus is strong enough to carry Superman's child? Lois gets a tan and the kid will kick right through her stomach. Only Wonder Woman would have a strong enough...

There are only ten times in history where the "F" (@#$%) word has been considered acceptable for use ... the count down is as follows: 10) "Scattered @#$%ing showers....My ass!" - Noah, 4314 BC 9) "How the @#$% did you work that out?" - Pythagoras, 126 BC 8) "You want WHAT on the...

For those of you who are still in the dreaming stage of flying military aircraft, or who are not quite there yet (it may remain a dream for me if that PRK study closes) and have Flight Sim 2002, check out this site www.fs2002.com it's got a whole bunch of military aircraft that different...

What are some of the fields that one can go into if you are ground side in the Marines? If it's true that the PRK study is ending, I need to start looking into other options in the Marines. Also, do they accept PRK correction for ground? If anybody can help me out that would be great. Thanks...

if you want the Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical knowledge, go to the FAA website and download it for free. It's form AC 61-23C. I found it really helpful; but I've had it for a while and knew the stuff way before i even thought about the Marines or the ASTB. If you're going to take the test...

It is funny, cool cycle of events too...Somebody took the time to reverse the picture, Somebody took the time to discover it was faked, somebody took the time to discover the website where they tell us of the faked picture, and then finally me, who takes the time to click on the website to read...

One of the people who sides with me in my class is a retired Marine. Cool guy, he takes it quite personal when my teacher goes off on these tirades, and with all he's seen and been through, I can't blame him. Thanks for all your info and support guys! "Push the stick foward, the houses get...

I hope they give something, because they make you start paying loans after you've been out for 6 months. Unless being in the military is accepted as continuing education, in which case we at least won't have to start paying right away. Yeah, I need some enlightenment too... "Push the stick...

Anyone remember this?? It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration. There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was...

I don't know if this has been happening to anyone else, but being an english major in my school who totally supports our military and government puts me into a very small minority in the English department. I'm an English major because I enjoy books and history, but apparrently you need to be...

That looks like my dad's flight jacket from WWII (that's right, my dad fought in WWII, and I'm only 23 years old, my dad's been around for a while :)). He's got some pretty cool patches on there. Of course he was in the Army Air Corps, the predecessors to the Air Force. "Push the stick...

Anybody ever watch the Futurama episode where they travel back in time and it's revealed that Frye is his own grandfather?...just since we were on the subject of Jerry Springer... "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back...

Definately go to college!! I think if you go to the naval academy you can start flight training during your third or fourth year, but don't quote me on that. I'm sure some of the other guys can be more specific. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get...

I took form 2. As for Brooklyn, I'm actually going to school in frigid Buffalo right now. I have three more classes after this semester until I graduate . But I go back to Brooklyn often (can't take Buffalo, it's so dead up here). "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the...

My recruiter just told me to get PRK as soon as possible. I can't send the package until then. I have to wait 6 months after getting PRK until I can get a waiver and even then they only send so many applicants a year with PRK. So I'm just hoping my scores will help give me an edge in the...

yeah, the marine guide definately helped. There are questions that are pretty much the same as the prep test (just different numbers). The math part was hard for me, math not being my strength. I just kept myself thinking that everything in the math section was easier than it looked. They're...
