go .45 Ok, first of all, you rock - men with guns ARE freaking hot, and that's just a fact of nature. Since your hubby already has a .22, the boys may as well learn on that. Consider it a step up from the bb. You HAVE to remember to teach them: Safety, safety, safety first. If you want them...

20/40 borderline vision What is "barely passing" on the vision? I'm 20/20 in one eye, but the other is 20/40 or 20/50 depending on the day and who you ask. Most recently, the bad eye was deemed "20/40 minus". Will they take a 20/40 minus for vision in one eye with the other at 20/20??? Navy.

The PRT isn't part of the initial Officer app package? :eek: Does that mean I can stop doing sit-ups to failure every other day...?...:confused::D ...:confused:

I love it! Thanks for sharing the inspiring story!

kitties and cocks and illegals, oh my! Moving target practice... step right up, don't be shy!

lol. why don't you just start a thread. Wow, it's beautiful! No, they won't let us in there anymore. Something about lead and asbestos poisoning. You know they're going back and forth on wth to do with it now, it just sits there looking good, but entirely useless.

Look who came by Saturday to ex-NAS Sunnyvale (Moffett Field) ...since I mentioned it.

I think massive deflation will happen before we suffer Zimbabwe's fate... but I'm no reputable economist. Skyward, that's why men and women like us took oaths to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. The Constitution includes the Bill of Rights, let us be...

...oh that's not funny. :icon_smil don't know if I can even do one OCS diamond pushup yet...

I don't know if I want to know...

GREAT advice!!! Be prepared to laugh at yourself! Another Question: What is an appropriate way to refer to everyone in the Navy (not just a specific group)? "fellow servicemen and women"? "Naval personell"? Have knowledge? Please drop it.

But... but!... But Nancy Pelosi says "500 million Americans will lose their jobs" if we don't pass the bill!!! If there are only 305 million Americans, does that mean two thirds of us are going to lose our jobs twice?!?! Catastrophic indeed. Twosblind, you say: "School construction does...

Proofread it a couple times. There are a few simple spelling and grammatical errors you would probably catch yourself after taking a break and coming back to it. Off the bat, I see "envoke" and "comittment" misspelled (how do you spell misspelled?). Also a few unnecessary commas (I don't know...

Aye! Focus on the tasks at hand! Good idea. :o

End Game? To be a test pilot, astronaut, and aerospace engineer (I plan on picking up at least one more degree). To be part of the testing, development, analysis and application of space and near-space weapons, including air/spacecraft. Our goodies need to be flying higher, quieter and faster...

between meal calorie boost one or two bananas heap of peanut butter milk (low fat's better 'cause it has less saturated fat, but worse 'cause it has more sodium - choose your poison) few scoops of ovaltine and/or choco protein powder add honey for a few more calories still I asked a...

LOR writers' credentials Anyone know about the importance of the statuses of those who write our LOR's? I don't know any mayors (of course through 6 degrees or less, I could get anybody's fake LOR, no problem!) or sheriffs or lawyers or many retired military folk, or if I do know them, we...

Whoa, Schnugg, that's beautiful! Those grips came with it? WO Flyer, looks like you found "FBI Barbie"'s choice. As for me, I just say no to plastic handguns. I suppose I have less than "girly man" arms (girly girl arms? not trying to bash my own kind though!), I only weigh a buck 15...

speaking of bike stunts....

Wow. Good for you. Congratulations. That's an amazing story, thanks for sharing it.

Not looking to buy your beauty, but: The shorty's have more recoil right ... Is it really even that noticeable? I haven't found one to rent and feel for myself yet. Can you feel the difference? They are pretty neat though... 3" barrel makes it seem so unassuming... but it's a .45! Hope...

Damn, good site. Maybe the gun shops can stop spending their time teaching people how to build AR15's and start actually selling what inventory they DO have. We've been dry as bone for parts in the Bay...

Ah - no, I haven't taken it yet. I'm studying for it these days. Except I keep finding myself hanging out on airwarriors now instead of studying like I need to be! :eek:

! I can't even read two posts without laughing - or at least a fat grin - you guys have mad jokes. I love it. Your opinions are good input too, thank you. You. Will. Train. Me. I. Will. Kick. A$$. Period. Got it. Yeah, I'd probably look at being a SEAL too if they'd let me. That's almost...

Reason #1.

Hmmmm..... average in January is 23 - 38f ... little chilly.

No STA-21 for me, I've got my Bachelor's already, Interdisciplinary Studies. Reallllly doesn't help much - that's why I'm looking at picking up my math, physics, and basic engineering from nuke school. If they don't take me straight away into OCS that is... Oh, and, I'm not easily distracted...

Oh man, yeah I can definitely see both of those positions backfiring. Right, the jackass is in you, or it isn't. It definitely would be a great challenge to arrive at some semblance of understanding my group's positions and backgrounds with no first-hand experience. Fortunately, I'm an...

Hmmm.... ok. Thanks. Yeah a jackass is a jackass is a jackass. Wow, good point about not being replaceable = not being promotable. I'm definitely not trying to get stuck anywhere :eek: You guys know anything about nuke guys becoming pilots? Does it happen? Is it common? Is it not uncommon?

Oh, thanks. Uncertain and difficult, eh? Sounds like a challenge to me :] Can I delete my thread and save some space?

So I was checking out "this morning's A-pool" mayhem, and it brings me to a point I'm pondering about becoming an Officer: What are the experiences of Officers coming from the outside, versus those coming up from within? I myself have been considering enlisting before I become an Officer...

Not mandatory in Cali yet - at least not around these parts (the Bay). In fact, I don't even remember it being offered to us in high school. Of course that was some years ago... and I wasn't necessarily on the lookout for it. Great scores man! Wow, ok, ALL timed. Study, hustle, study...

Mannnn... anybody else frustrated that these people have been chosen for these positions and are crapping on their own opportunities? There are at least a hundred other kids, drooling over Officer positions in the Navy, dreaming of being where these bickering knuckleheads are, reading this and...

It doesn't matter what your recruiter "seems to really care" about. Don't let 'em slow you down if you really care about it. DO you care about it? Aight then, go do it! It's that simple. Looks like you got a buddy to ride over there with too: less bucks to drop on gas... reduced heating...

Nice... fabulous advice guys. Thanks much! Yeah, I pulled a 95 on the ASVAB... I think my highest scores were mechanical too, now that you mention it. I'm in ground school now (taking a rare lesson in the sky when I scrounge up enough dough... two official hours up there so far, look out!) so...

I suspected my ballooning ego was getting dangerously large from doing well on the ASVAB (it was ... *pop*). Thanks for setting me straight! Yeah, I've been browsing around a little. Lots of tidbits all over, acronyms I keep having to look up :o - piecing all the goodies together though...

ASTB vs. ASVAB Can anyone who has taken both the ASTB and the ASVAB describe their similarities and differences in any of the sections they share? Math, words, mechanics, etc... I imagine it's generally a more difficult test - how much so? Thanks!

Will do! Thanks.

I'm at the very beginning stages of my life with the Navy (just went through MEPS)... and wondering: Do you have to re-take the ASTB every time you apply to be an Officer? Also, thank you everyone who has posted on this site. It is indeed informative, not to mention entertaining.
