Over 2,200 calories. Have fun with that.

Wow. Selfish much?

First of all, search. I'd say a large portion of your question could have been answered by taking a bit of your own time and looking around the forum. Initiative is a quality the Marine Corps like to have in its officers. Second, don't use that font. Regarding your questions: Not...

This is why I love AWs.

4200 isn't too bad. Its the same flight five times in a row. If you know your procedures/EPs and can recite them verbally without hesitation you should be golden if you're not Mongo with the stick. Spend the time early on in Primary learning everything, at the expense of going out if need...

RI ground school and sims. Everything else is fun provided you're properly prepared.

I think he was being funny.

I hope you made it out to Yianni's and '80s Night once more before heading out. I drove over a couple weekends ago before I move to Kingsville and had a hell of a time.

I don't know the back story, but WTF. http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream4&iref=lb100

Which is why I just placed my vote for President Obama. Heisman Vote 2009

You should have it handy at all times while at TBS. That being said, once its over you will certainly realize its value.

I'd also recommend The Ready Room on Dogwood. Best haircuts I've had. And they give you beer while you wait!

Rocky, Thought I'd update you and let you know I was selected for Jets last Thursday. Figured this was as good a place as any. I'll be heading to Kingsville later this month. Thanks again for being a kick-ass instructor. S/F

For some reason I've been unable to open this site. Anyone who was able to download the electronic version of the T-45 NATOPs care to email it to me? And yes, I realize this thread is nearly eight months old.

I guess those of us with a contact lens waiver are ****ed?

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm curious as to why that is the consensus. Ideas?

They're in season year 'round down here. :D

I thoroughly enjoyed reading that. Its incredible to think of how Naval Aviation was at that time.

All you can do is try, but I'd certainly not set your hopes very high. You had an incredible opportunity and voluntarily gave it up. I'm certain that will weigh on the minds of those that make the decision. For what its worth, I remember you - We were in the same platoon at OCS.

This man speaks the truth.

The Eagle, Globe, and Anchor is something that you must earn. I'm not getting "in a wad," I simply said I had issues with individuals wearing the EGA when they're not United States Marines. I'm sure most winged aviators would have issues with a guy wearing a pair of wings when he had not...

If the EGA is not in the pattern - Fine. If it is, then I have issues with it.

Wow. I am absolutely speechless having watched that news story.

I don't know anyone who hadn't printed off every briefing guide prior to FAM 0.

*Jumps up and down repeatedly with hand raised* Me! Me! :D

Goals are awesome, but its also necessary to understand that despite doing everything in your power and performing well, the Marine Corps may not have the same plan for you. Shoot for jets, and if you fall short you're still flying an awesome aircraft in the Marine Corps supporting the Killers...

Figure around $50 for squadron dues. We checked in wearing Charlies. And I thought my flight pay started once I checked in to TW-5, though I could be wrong. And hope for 6.

I think that is a bit excessive. I graduated TBS a little less than a year ago - middle of October, and I started API late February. I can't imagine it has become so backed up that you'll be paid to simply muster once a day for well over a year, which is essentially what we were required to do...

Where the hell did you go to TBS?

Just returned from seeing the film and I thought it was excellent. Violent - Yes. But not really over the top save for one or two scenes. I'll certainly purchase it once it comes to DVD.

Meeting a few people to see it this afternoon. It looks very promising.

That puts it pretty well. If you're like most, you'll be miserable during both. The main difference is that you expected OCS to suck, perhaps not so much with TBS - But it will. Just get through, try not to get annoyed when you're sitting around for hours for apparently no reason, and realize...

The ultrasound therapy was what finally solved the problem for me. I shipped to OCC-196 with it - though it had improved somewhat. It only got worse during OCS though and it was pretty miserable. Once I reported to TBS it was difficult to even walk properly, but after a month or so of the...

Not tracking?

Only for extenuating circumstances.

Both of your posts are worthless. GTFO.

It isn't. It was discontinued a couple years back. I was one of the, if not the last one to get approved for it and I'm nearing completion of primary. Though I haven't actually been told anything to the contrary, its nice to hear someone say that.

I don't suppose anyone knows of an iPhone app that does jet logs? I've searched for one but have had no luck thus far. Not that I don't know how to do the damn thing, but it'd save a hell of a lot of time if I could just type the data into my phone and have it spit out the required info...

Does it bother anyone else that the acronyms "JSF" and "IP" aren't capitalized?

Oh I don't know, I don't think she is the ugly duckling all of you are making her out to be.

Like everyone has said - Be honest and make it apparent that it won't be a recurring issue. I was ticketed, and could have been arrested, for racing a 2003 Mustang Cobra that pulled up beside me on the interstate end of my junior year in college. Speeds were well into the triple digits and...

I'd be interested to know as well. My 20/250 isn't exactly stellar... Especially for being an SNA.

I've got an 1198 in the stable, so I wouldn't be using the Sportster to get my kicks. I'm just accustom to having a decent amount of power available at my right hand and I wouldn't want that to change too much.

You shouldn't have to carb-load for anything less than a half marathon. Certainly not three miles.

Depends. Are you barely getting 20 pullups? If yes, then take the day before off. If you're easily knocking out 25 or 30+ then don't worry about it. The only workout I won't do before a PFT is a leg day in the gym. F that.

Lookin' forward to this...

I wrote some papers on the Chinese threat as a grad student and although I'm certain I don't have near the knowledge some on this board possess, the Sukhoi series of fighters complete with their R-77 and R-73 are a threat I'd be legitimately concerned with if we were to be caught up in a...

I think your girlfriend was in the wrong sorority. I visited a "friend" who was member of an unnamed sorority at Auburn and while they didn't have sorority houses, they all stayed in a specific dorm. I distinctly recall girls walking around in towels and such while leaving the showers and...

Have you been to a Hooters lately? Though better than average, not that impressive...
