My 5 y/o Pentium 3 1.8Ghz plays Falcon well... but MS Flight Simulator looks like it'd take a much more powerful machine. Maybe look for a demo and see how that treats you?

I only caught the final 15 minutes... my damn Masters of Political Thought class ran well over but what I saw was pretty well done. I also enjoyed the new series Dogfights which debuted last night.

"I'd like to bust your butt but I can't. I got another problem here. I gotta send somebody from this squadron to Miramar." I fully believe that playing various flight sims over the year helped me score well on the ASTB, but going further than that and saying that they will help me become a...

B?

I think so. Your stats are very similar to mine. 8/8/8 67. PFT 285. GPA 3.1. My OSO said he didn't think I'd have any problem whatsoever getting selected. Just waiting to be released from the Army as I was previously in Army ROTC. Working on my Masters in the meantime.

Tonight at 9 EST the History Channel is showing a 90 minute program dedicated to the big fighter. Also, starting this Friday they will also begin airing the new series "Dogfights." You can find more information here.

I see. Thanks for that and beating UF a couple weeks ago. As an FSU Alum I hate nothing more than the gators.

I'm curious how the OAR portion is scored... I had just assumed that it was an equation involving the first three numbers. However I guess thats not the case because receieved a low score of 8/8/8 but a higher OAR of 67. Anyone care to shed some light on this?

I had the same problem... double click the screen and then it'll work.

How could I forget about them?! Though they along with DGs tended to be the girls who were more attractive in a "cute, wholesome girl next door" way than the "hot as hell, what I couldn't do with that" way that the ones I first mentioned were... I should be doing my grad work at FSU instead...

And I always tended to think that KDs, DZs, and Tri Delts were the best :D

I do most of my exercises with dumbbells because for me they seem to give me a better workout as you have to constantly stabalize them, as opposed a a barbell. All my exercises are 4 sets, 12, 10, 8, 6 reps respectively. Flat, incline, decline dumbbell press, then cable flyes, followed by...

Like was mentioned earlier, max sets are key. And is that for 1 minute? Back in my Ranger Challenge days in Army ROTC I was doing 750 pushups/situps a night. Maxed out the pushups at 101 in 2 minutes. I started by doing 5 or 6 sets of 75 and then dropped off accordingly. Then I...

I had alot of problems getting a hold of a Navy recruiter as well... guess they didn't like my stats... :D The USMC didn't mind though!

Hammer from Above was decent. What I read of it at least. I started it a few days before fall semester began, unfortunately I don't have time for personal reading anymore. Its definitely not solely focused on 18s though.

I'm working on my Masters right now. I should have it finished right a few months after I turn 23. If I was told I could go to OCC tomorrow, I wouldn't think twice. You can always go back to school.

I remember Jetfighter III being alot of fun back when I was in middle school. I seldom have time anymore, but the only I occasionally load up is Falcon 4.0. If you don't have a lot of time to devote to learning the game though, pick up something that doesn't require such an effort to be able...

I guess I have an extra semester to finish my Masters... Wish I had known this before I took the number of classes that would allow me to do it in a year.

Florida State University is only 2 1/2 hours away. Its worth the drive.

<---- Jealous.

I never run less than 4 miles unless I'm trying to gauge my improvement which is once a month or so. Its usually 5 or 7 mile runs, and occasionally 9-11 which take place about once a week. I don't have a problem maintaining a pace of 7:30 even on my 9 mile runs, its just getting down into the...

Its not about the points, ultimately I want to be able to max the run. And a 19:30 is half a minute closer to 18:00 than 20:00 is.

Did a 3 mile roadcourse today and came in at 20:00. Was a bit dissapointed, I was hoping to be at 19:30. Although for the past 3 months or so I've been eating 500 calories below maintenance in an attempt to lose a bit of extra weight. Maybe once I'm back up to or a bit above maintenance I'll...

What about a LandNav course? It'd probably be more beneficial. We had to do them every Saturday morning for the first 8 weeks of so of the fall semester for Ranger Challenge.

I've definitely seen improvement by simply logging the miles. Though work kept me from putting in as many as I would have liked the last month, I'm routinely hitting 35 minutes as I pass the 5 mile mark on each of my runs that last 6, 7, 8, and 9 miles. Even on my 11 miler I kept the pace...

Congratulations. I'm waiting to be released from Army ROTC, which is proving to be a lengthy process, but I would love to be selected for 194 as a pilot candidate. Until that happens however, I'll be working on my Master's at UWF. ASTB: 8/8/8 67 GPA: 3.1 Polysci from Florida State PFT: 32...

If you've ever gotten pissed at your AI wingman, check out the following video. http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/Enrouk/871/

Have you ever thought about being a detective? The previous owner had them installed. Fully functional and I like how they look on the car. And you drive...?

I max out at around 32-34. Just go to the gym and do a good back workout.

I always enjoyed showing up to a party and having two attractive girls step out from the single passenger seat :icon_smil Though it tended worked more often with the freshmen girls who's parents didn't allow them to have a car their first year.

So I bought mine a little early. Between sophomore and junior year of college.

Eh, beat me to it.

I would agree some of my ASTB score was a direct result of playing flight sims while growing up.

I LOLed at work when I'm supposed to be working on a database. Thanks Thull.

Granted, I have no experience. I was just saying what I thought... clearly you have more experience than I do, so what about the helmet makes it appear to make defensive BFM more difficult? I'm honestly asking and not attempting to be an ass. Is it the dimensions? Limited visibility...

God forbid someone disagrees with someone and makes an attempt at logically explaining why they feel that way.

I personally don't believe that helmet will interfere with ones vision much at all. If you look in varying directions, without moving your head, it appears that your vision would be limited no more by that helmet, than by the features on your face. Unless he was talking about the helmet being...

I wanna go fast.

As the helmet is designed to allow the pilot to cue his aircraft's weapons by simply turning his head, I'd have to disagree with you.

As badass as the JHMCS is capabilities-wise, it just doesn't look as cool as current helmets.

My packet is complete. 8/8/8 67 3.14 GPA Polysci at FSU 285 Official PFT, probably above 290 now Contact Lense Waiver approved Waiting to be released by the Army :icon_rage

I've read an article on them before. I distinctly remember one of them saying they do everything possible to re-create what the actual Blue Angels do. Including training, which they do 4 hours... 5 days a week! The one guy who mentioned that said he was amazed that hes still married. Its a...

Swimming is a great supplement that has worked well for me in the past, I've just got to wait until the end of August for classes to begin so I can use the pool. Two more questions. I ran a 9 mile course I've mapped out around the area and completely it at an easy pace of 8 min/mile this...

You are treading on VERY thin ice. I was in almost the exact same position as you. I however was in Army ROTC. After getting back from Leader's Development and Assessment Camp having graduated number 1 in my platoon and number 3 of over 350 in my Regiment, I had heard that the vision...

Spekkio, I would hope in the future that you'll be more reserved when offering advice about what you believe the Marine Corps is and isn't, since you clearly have no idea.

I'm sure that I'll go see it when it comes to theatres, I'm not expecting it to blow me away judging by that trailer, however.

The plan I've been going with has speedwork on Tuesdays, ie several 400 sprints and jog another 400 in between each sprint. Tempo runs on Thursdays. Fast runs on Saturday of about 5 miles and long runs on Sunday (8+ miles). The other days are easy run days. What you're suggesting is focus...

To be honest I'm pretty dissapointed at my run time when it comes to the USMC PFT. Pullups (30+) and situps (130+) come natural, I've just never been a gifted runner. I took my first Marine Corps PFT and ran it in 20:47 around a track. I figure I'd knock at least 30 seconds off that had it...

Haha. But seriously, just work out a scheme. Figure out whether you're going out to sea or towards land first, then climbing/descending/maintaining second, and finally the bank-left or right and degree. Get to the point where you can do one question every 10 seconds and you'll be golden. I...
