Just wanted to say thank you for all of the info I recieved from everybody on this site! I took my marines ASTB test yesterday and got my grades this morning. I scored 8/9 (I'm assuming that's decent). Just saying thank you and now I need to figure out the next step from here...physical...

Clinton scaled down the armed forces and did everything pretty sneaky. Bush is honest (at least more so) and is getting blasted for it. Oh and by the way, Barbara Striesand graduated from what is probably the worst high school in New York city, Erasmus High. "Push the stick foward, the houses...

While I didn't like Clinton at all, I don't quite believe he was THAT stupid... "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 stopped rowing when I realized flying was faster....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."

grr...my recruiter had some emergency and had to postpone my test until thursday..it's just as well, I was too nervous. I looked over the material a bit more yesterday and today and suddenly I feel absolutely ready. "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get...

3 hours until mine...talk about a bit of anxiousness... "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 believe it's posted in the ASTB folder by the webmaster "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 it does. Thanks. Well I'm off to take that test now... "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's the parachute training like? "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get bigger again."

Good luck! I take mine tomorrow afternoon so I know how you feel. If anyone out there wants to throw out some last minute pointers I'd sure be glad to read them!!! "Push the stick foward, the houses get bigger; pull back, the houses get smaller... unless you keep pulling back, then they get...

I personally like the rowing quote: "Now you can finally explain those blisters on your hands..." Hey! One more post and this becomes a hot topic!! "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 take the test on thursday, I'm worried about the spacial apperception, I can ace the ARCO examples but I heard the actual test is a lot more extreme... "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 I feel stupid for buying the book now!! ****JUST A REMINDER***** The answer to question #3 in the Spacial Apperception test is WRONG in both that 4th and 5th edition book!!

"My Drinking Team has a Rowing problem..." I think that statement says it all... AND yes, ergs suck!

Definately let those suckers heal. Shin splints sometimes are the precursers of stress fractures and that will lay you out for a few months (personal experience there). So it's better to lay low for a week or two than be out for 3 months while your bones heal.

what NPRd him for SNA?

I heard the spacial part of the test is radically different than the ARCO books. How different was it? I heard there are no clouds or ships in the water and the angles of dive or bank are either minimal or extreme. So basically what I'm asking you guys who took it...what was that part like?

lol, thought that one would get responses....

I would buy 50 million dollars worth of ferrets.

Hi everybody, thanks so much for your help! :) My girlfriend and I have been friends for a few years before we started dating, so I think it made us strong enough to work through all this. We're doing a short 3 month, long distance thing right now (she's teaching in Connecticut, and I'm...

Hi everybody, I need some advice. I'm in the process of building an application to be an SNA. While it is my dream to be an aviator in the military, my girlfriend is not so happy with this idea. She told me she doesn't think she can cope with the idea of me being away so often, me being shot...

I'm taking the ASTB next tuesday and I realized I'm not quite sure what the abbreviations mean (eg. PFAR, OAR, etc). Which ones are weighted most heavily to gain a SNA slot?

"France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes." ---Mark Twain "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me."...

go Online to Barnes and Nobles and type a search for the "Military Flight apptitude test" and the right book will pop up. My recruiter told me that most stores don't seem to carry them so your best bet is online.....actually I just remembered that I found mine on Amazon.com cheaper...

I'm kind of nervous...I take mine in 1 week and 5 days and 22 hours...and counting ..

For rowing we always mixed aerobic with our anerobic work..it made you stronger and healthier, and like Adrenaline Rush said it helps prevent injury. Just make sure to work opposing muscles so you strengthen both sides of your body (ie. if you do squats, make sure you do leg curls at some...

"Sorry officer...I thought she had an air mask..."

sweet....I saw that plane perform on a TV special, it was nice..

does the fiscal year start in January?

Is the airforce the only military division aquiring the F-22's, or are the Navy and Marines up to recieve them too?

Damn Aristophanes and his Lysistrata play!! lol...man, I knew taking that classics course wasn't a waste! But now that I think about it; if guys have no outlet for their sexual frustrations, won't we just take it out by blowing more things up? I mean it's probably true, I get pretty relaxed...

I was hearing 250/300...but don't quote me on that either...anyway, what does it matter?...going for a 300 anyway..lol

LOL. I'm a rower. I've rowed for the past 4 years without taking a break. Summer races were by far the best, especially the Henley. I've heard by a few buddies of mine that were on the crew team then went military, that boot camp was nothing compared to 4:30AM practices, LOL...Our coach is...

LOL, I printed it out at work...got it from the printer just before my boss got there..whew!

you guys should check out www.fscentral.com that site has quite a bit of good stuff for flight sims...

hehe...1292..then the computer froze...darn school computers

Do you know where I can find a good PRK surgeon? I've been told that Canada's a good place to go since they've been doing it longer than the US and they're cheaper. I live in Buffalo New York so I'm only like 2 feet from the border. Where'd you go flyinmonkey?

The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life where you get to experience all three at the same time. (Author unknown, but someone who's been there)

LOL, I want to print that out and post it in my University's English department...(they're disgustingly liberal)

I heard that joke before..it was great then and it's great now!! lol

hehe, then you can see how long it would take to piss off an NFO by constantly calling him "Goose"...

Make sure you get good running shoes too. Cross-trainers are a big no-no! I was running in those a few years ago, and nobody told me not to do that. My knees and shins started hurting for a few hours after running too. The more I ignored it the more it increased until one day I felt a really...

HAHA!!! That's great...

Here in Buffalo, NY the rate for an instructor with the plane is about 70/hour. But they're an FBO and most of their money comes from charter flights to Niagara Falls and for gassing up and housing corporate jets so maybe they can afford to be cheaper. Flight training here is interesting to...

Anyone know what the eye exam is like down in P'cola? It would suck to have the first physical miss something, get a SNA slot, only to get NPQ'd down there. Just trying to see if I can get as thorough as possible eye exam with my current doctor. Not that I would have an problem serving...

I need to get my 3 mile time into shape...ran it in 23:10 the other day. I was really feeling it though, started out at a pace that I used to run at when I was on the rowing team. 3 months of not getting up and training at 4:30AM takes it's toll...gotta get my butt back in shape...

I took a look at that other forum that you gave us the link for Bushmaster; it was like stepping into a pit of snarling dogs. As for September 11, that's what motivated my decision to go into the military, hopefully into a pilot's seat. I'm from Brooklyn, New York. That day I didn't know if...

those were sweet planes

dude, get a life, I'm through with you. I simply wrote down what I was told by an air force recruiter. But I'm not going to argue with somebody who would rather be nasty than civil. Your not worth my time and this is my last post with regards to you. Oh and by the way, unless one of those...

Hey, I'm just relaying what the AF recruiter told me. Believe me if the info is false it's through no fault of mine. And I just looked at your link. It says you need approval of the squadron commander. That sounds to me that you need to be already enlisted for that. So all I was saying is...
