Ever since I bought mine I see them every day, in every state I have been in/through. I think you would be suprised at the owner base. There are a few forums for them. Of course everyone always gripes on the weight, cause its all they have to gripe on. If you compare weights its actually not...

Actually I own a 3000GT VR4, (Stealth TT, Dodge just changed out a few body panels). There are actually quite a few of these still on the road, considering how many were made. Its definately not tired now. How many cars in the early 90's had AWD, AWS, electronic controlled suspension, ABS...

Yeah, careful bashing the foreign cars. Some of them are actually quality performance vehicles. Very few American muscle cars can keep up in all around driving.

Nothing beats the '69 Chevy ZL-1's (both Camaro and Vette). If only they would have actually produced a significant number of them. And I would take a Chevelle 396 over the 454 any day.

Except hes not in HS, he has a few years of college under his belt...a semester of which he failed intentionally. PAO you need to do real research at this point. Not look for majors that might be easier, or have engineering in the name just to help you later on. What do you plan to do with...

Get up early, make your bed, form up, take accountability, march to chow, take accountability, each chow, take accountability, march to pt, take accountability, pt, take accountability, etc. That is how it goes. You will run the O-Course alot, ride the trucks around and do some rapelling, live...

Definately ask around if you want to do something. Find a friend there who drove down and has their car there. Thats the best way to get around and see stuff. Lots of civilian clothes are a must. I ended up with stick time in an S-3 and came home with a 5" shell. All because I asked the...

So is this taking the place of Check Six mag? Because I actually enjoyed that.

The problem in API is that most of the people giving the info/rumors are attrited or NPQ'd students. Not the best source of reliable info. And as the saying goes, if you dont hear a rumor by noon, start one yourself.

Heres one for ya. Better than kitty cat. http://www.goyk.com/flash.asp?path=723

I dont think we could afford to outfit one with modern weaponry. The cost of laser guided, rocket propelled artillery shells is a bit prohibitive. I remember reading a study somewhere about launching Tomahawks from a BB, and how we didnt have enough in our inventory to fill it up. Just think...

Talked to a maintainer today. The big problems are the water soaked avionics from the holes in the windscreens, and the damaged rotor blades. Apparently there arent nearly enough spares in the system so they are talking about ordering some new ones from Bell or somewhere. The flight schedule...

Actually I should be moving in the next month and I will be looking to unload mine for cheap.

One of the squadrons actually came and gave us a brief here when they were trying to get guys to go the Active Reserve route. Its funny cause those were the 2 squadrons mentioned the most, yet those are the 2 that you have no chance in hell of selecting out of Advanced. Some absurd amount of...

Why not spend a few bucks and support them?? The CD is well worth it!

They are workin on a new CD. You can hear one of the tracks off of it in their Fanzone.

If only it worked that way for HT's. Due to the nature of flying helos and low work, etc you cant get any real FAM flights done on a Hurrevac. I should have already checked and soloed by now, but due to the delays of moving the birds around, I will now have to wait until Ivan passes and all...

I think that was tried once before and signed off as gay.

Heres my baby. The details are in the link in my sig. Any guesses on the HP numbers? ;)

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_astorm6+shtml/030308.shtml? Its obviously supposed to lose some power before it would hit here, but its still capable of doing some damage.

Yeah well, we moved the helos to the Saufley hangars today just in case, and there is talk of actually evacuating and flying them up to someplace like Chicago for the weekend. We'll find out tomorrow morning. I know they are just trying to ruin my 4 day weekend. :icon_rage

HT's are already more fun in the first several FAM's than I had in all of Primary combined. I have yet to actually meet anyone who isnt enjoying it. The instructors are much more friendly. As long as you know your brief, the flight wont be a problem, they are very patient. I think auto's are...

Just an update from the Helo side. Apparently the program is on hold right now. A few months ago the CO told us it was a set thing and was gonna happen. Then last week or so she told us that the helo Navy-to-Marine tour was not happening just yet and they didnt know what was really going to...

Gotta love helos. 3 days of SDO the first week, then no more for the rest of my time here. :D

If the proper people find out, bad things happen. The F-14 pilot lost his wings, and thats as much as we got told.

That pic reminds me of the story they told us at the last safety standdown about Flight violations. Some F-14 pilot did a flyover of a school his mom was a teacher at. 4 passes, none of them under 400 knots, none over 400 feet, and 2 were inverted.

This is the one I have..not the best quality, but I love the pic.

If your looking for a decent apartment near Whiting then I recommend Collins Mill Creek Apartments. Its $645 a month for 2 bed/2 bath. Its the newest and nicest place in Milton. Berry Pines does have some 1 bedrooms though, but its not as new or as nice. Both places are about 10 minutes from...

I remember they used to have that info up on their website but it hasnt been there for awhile. You have to email or call them. The M-frame kit is a great deal. When I was looking, it was the frames, case and 3 lenses.

Lol, this kind of thing should be in the War Zone. I personally feel that the standards should be equal for the same job, no matter gender. But it will never be that way. And in ROTC, API, etc you can usually see the difference on Battalion runs. And that Physical Fitness badge is a joke for...

Ok, I just upgraded my video card to an Nvidia with 256MB DDR Ram and it makes a huge difference. The look and gameplay on high resolution and high detail is wicked. Here is some more good info on general XP tweaks. We all know how much Windows sucks and eats up resources. There are alot of...

Its one of the very few games that I would actually say is worth the money. Especially if you turn the lights off and play it at night. Its giving me the chills. Awesome sound effects and kickass visuals...even on the low setting. The fog looks pretty damn real, voices telling you to do...

Lol, so tough. ;)

Yeah Im running it on a GeForce4 MX. Its not too bad. With the tweaks and low quality Im running 800x600 pretty smooth. With Medium quality I would get some roughness in combat. And for low quality it still looks very nice! I have a 2.17Ghz Athlon, with 512MB DDR RAM and a 160Gig hard...

This one is the start of a long thread with several tweaks listed. http://www.forumplanet.com/planetdoom/topic.asp?fid=5733&tid=1438663&p=1 This one also has some info. Im looking for the other sites I looked at last night. http://doom3.filefront.com/file.news?ID=11538 Essentially here...

I bought it at Babbages last night. They have quite a few copies in stock. Very impressive. However if you dont have a decent system life is gonna be sucking. Also the Doom3 forums have some tweaks that are almost necessary to make the game run smooth. But when you finally get it running...

Lol, yeah i know its sad. Im just saying that none of them actually have the right to complain about the noise, as the base was there first. They get no sympathy from me.

This forum should be renamed to "Fly Navy's gossip circle."

The only place that has the right to complain is the Hotel Del in San Diego. And they dont even complain, they just requested that since they were there before the base, planes cant fly overhead. Some people are just too ignorant/stupid.

I second that. Just read through some of the magazine this afternoon and was very impressed. Thanks again.

When I checked in a few months ago, the wait was about 2 weeks for Marines and a bit over a month for Navy. Right now I believe the wait for the Navy is even a bit longer. Though your still a few months out, so it might all change by then. Everyone I have talked to so far has finished in 6...

The reason we did not end it in the first Gulf War is simple...the U.N. That organization has become worthless, we are 90% of their forces doing all their dirty work in the world, and then when it comes to protecting our interests, they say no. The U.S. needs to withdraw from the U.N. and let...

He went civilian. He was looking into transferring platforms, but I think they wanted him to go P-3 and he definately didnt want that. Lt. Bourn is still an instructor with VT-27, I believe he still has another year or so there. Its pretty cool how everyone knows everyone else.

Actually he just finished his duty there last month. I still keep in touch with him through email though. He was an awesome ROTC instructor! I had a great time flying my cross country back up there with Lt. Bourn, another VMI grad, and hanging out with them both.

The rate hike is due mainly to the extremely high level of vehicular theft and break-ins. My friend had his car broken into and the stereo stolen twice right outside his bedroom window. The first time they broke the window, the second they broke the actual door. I know another guy who had one...

I am from VMI. I had a full scholarship so I was guaranteed a commission and had everything paid for while at VMI. You are required to do all the classes and FTX's and such and then you put in your package just like everyone else when it comes to jobs. However as far as the Navy goes, when...

The distance depends on the instructor. Typical cross countries consist of 3 legs there and 3 legs back, with each leg being around 400 miles. You fly at max blast which nets around 190 kts depending on altitude. I did one leg of mine at 19k feet to take advantage of the jetstream and get...

Right now the wait is getting bad. For Primary at Whiting, I talked to some guys who have been sitting here 6 months since finishing API waiting to start. I dont know what the wait is like in Corpus. Advanced Helos is starting to back up also. The wait is a little over a month for navy guys...

Actually I didnt have any problem living on the island. Though we had a house. The rent was very reasonable for what we had, and my friends living in town in apartments got flooded out with rain long before we ever did. The road construction is going well, there was never flooding on the...

Get fresh seafood at Joe Patti's, they had awesome shrimp last time I was there. Fuji Sushi is pretty good Cant forget Flounders Cactus Flower for Mexican
