I'm not sure either could accomplish the task at hand... And if I have to die, it might as well be with a 100lb beauty queen. :D

... "offer the red dress up to size 28." Size 28 WTF. Size 4.

My OSO bent over backwards to get me into the program. I fear if it had been anyone else I'd not be here right now. He went way beyond what he was required to do for multiple issues. Absolutely incredible guy.

It is rather nice. Everyone should do this... Makes browsing AW posts much more enjoyable.

He stated he was a recipient of a soft contact lens waiver. The program was done away with a couple years back, but I was fortunate enough to be approved before it went away. Essentially as long as your vision hadn't changed over the course of six months or so, and you could see 20/20 with...

Surely I wasn't the only one who noticed the kid on the first page was wearing jean shorts...

I can't imagine it'd be the same one, but I've seen another blue ZR-1 around Milton. Cool video, btw.

Roger. Lets hope, for my sake at least, that mine is a bit more accurate than yours proved to be. How far along were you when you were projected to finish in Feb?

Damn. All these threads about finishing are making me anxious and ready to finish. And congratulations are in order, I believe. Have fun across the street. Exhelodrvr - My roommate is scheduled to complete VT-6 in just under 5 months. My projected date puts me around 5.5 months.

I was under the assumption that this one went without saying.

Yes - Absolutely. Any type of endurance activity, i.e., running, isn't particularly taxing on the neurological system. Once your body adapts, it can sustain such demands with relative ease. HIT - High Intensity Training with weights, not to be confused with HIIT, is very hard on the...

Eh, hundreds of dollars a year? Lets not exaggerate too much here. When I was taking creatine I spent approximately $15-20 every four or five months. It was a response to the statement on overtraining. You stated that training more than once a day would lead to overtraining - It won't unless...

How do you know that those supplements don't work? I'm not currently on anything save for whey/casein protein and a multi, but all of the above listed items do have some effect - How large? That is debatable but I've used them all and experienced positive results which are backed up by...

I got a stylized EGA on my chest back in November. I don't think I have any pics of it off hand, I'll browse through my folders and see if I have any...

Two to three weeks sounds about right. That's what it was two months ago when I started. 2 or 6 is where you want to be; I'm sure you'll hear more than enough about 3 to make up your own opinion.

I had a few passive symptoms during FAM1, but only when I was not at the controls. Its been my experience that if you're focusing on the task at hand - flying and all the shit that comes with it, you're too occupied to get sick. I'm assuming the spin was being demo'd to you? It might be...

WTF is "goku"? I was one who knew from a young age that I wanted to be a Naval Aviator. I blame it on the Tomcats that I'd always see overhead when I lived in Southern CA. A few kinks were thrown into the loop - Poor vision, nearly commissioning into the Army as an Infantry officer...

I'd fully cut them out a month prior to shipping - That is what I did and I had no issues. You won't be allowed to take anything at TBS either besides whey. The only thing you are technically allowed to use during flight school, according to the flight doc, is a multivitamin and whey...

I'd normally recommend hitting the API/Primary pubs over getting your PPL if you have downtime; but if you have the opportunity to get it flying with Rocky - Go for it. You will learn a great deal.

Shes nearly as good as some my Ranger Challenge buddies from college. Pretty damn impressive.

If Top Gun has taught me anything over the years, its that it is... 'Afternoon gentlemen, and enjoy your weekend. :)

All the Marine 2nd Lts possessed at least Bachelors degree, some from prestigious schools - There was a Harvard educated lawyer in my company. Nearly all of them possessed the work ethic and capability to be an asset to any civilian company - Else they wouldn't have been there. I, along with a...

As long as you still have to operate it from an airport, I don't really see the point. Neat - Sure. Ugly - Definitely. Pointless - Eh, maybe not depending on the technology it inspires in the future.

Though I get your point, I don't think it is quite fair comparing a BOQ to a ship...

Relax. I realize that very few of our military members receive fair monetary compensation for the sacrifices they make... I was just saying that for the qualifications most of the Marine 2nd Lts at TBS possessed, the hours put in, and the 6 or 7 to a room living situation - The pay was less...

I'm living the good life now. TBS and the 80+ hour work weeks for $1,100 every two weeks felt like scraping by.

I've been in for just under two years and I get approx. $1800 deposited into my account twice a month. When you're at TBS, it feels like you're scraping by, in comparison, since you're forced to live in the Q and don't draw BAH. Assuming, of course, that you're single.

Hasegawa 1:48? I tried that one after the Academy 1:32 F/A-18C I built a few years back and grew too frustrated to finish it. Absolutely phenomenal work.

Haha, that is gold. One of my favorites...

Not to the degree that weights will. It is generally assumed that you are pushing between 55 and 65% of your weight in a pushup. Assuming you are 200lbs, then you're pushing about 110 to 130lbs - Not bad, and if one has not been performing any exercise at all then they will certainly see...

Please, please no. On a side note, I walked by an aggressor-painted F-18E this morning at PNS for a BI flight, and damn... I wasn't aware they were that much larger than the Charlie model!

If there is still a decent wait-time for API, may I suggest living in one of the condos on Perdido Key? I lived in Sea Spray with a good friend of mine for about half a year and we had one hell of a time waiting to start... And it was winter! You'll be close to Florabama and all the cuties in...

Why would you want to shed the muscle? Or do you mean shed the fat so you look shredded? I can't tell. Hill sprints. They work wonders. Find a 10 percent or higher grade hill and mark off 100m and sprint up, walk down, 8-10 times.

Protein and fats are more satiating than carbohydrates. Plus, carbohydrates spike insulin which, when it does not occur after working out, is far from beneficial as it stops fat loss and promotes fat storage. And no - 40/30/30 is not for weight gain. Granted, it can be provided you have a...

There is a serious deficiency on nutrition knowledge in this thread. For those of you looking to not only lose weight, but to positively change body composition - Maintain/gain muscle while shedding fat, you should start doing the following: 1) Eat a fairly large breakfast consisting of...

1300 calories at that weight? Thats ridiculous. 12 year old girls eat more than that. And bmaru, if you want to add in some good calories, throw some peanut butter, ice, milk, and protein powder in a blender with a little splenda. Its incredible.

I'll rate it as boring. Plus, 3 sets of pushups to failure probably won't do all that much to develop your upper body strength. Get in the gym and hit the weights like you use to. While I didn't attend Navy OCS, I think my strength - Both upper and lower body, developed from years in the gym...

Excellent video, thank you for sharing that.

I'd also suggest wearing sunglasses until the time of testing. My OSO advised me to do this prior to getting evaluated for the SCL Waiver. Any little bit may help.

Maybe he does, I'm just going by what I was told a couple years back. All I know is that I'm forever grateful my OSO was able to pull some strings.

No, I am sorry but they're not offering it anymore. If I was informed correctly, I was the last one to receive approval for the SCL Waiver. You can always look into PRK. Don't give up if this is something you want.

This is the word I received when I asked after going through my logbook/other trash this morning after my flight.

I apologize for resurrecting a fairly old thread, but this statement has me curious since the CPT gradesheets we received a couple weeks back stated that the grades were not used for calculating NSS. Additionally, amongst all of the fellow studs I've spoken with, we've all been under the...

1) I completed IFS at Flight Training Mobile in just over a month. 33, 35 days, something like that. 2) I don't think that is correct. 3) I flew a 172. 4) It took me 1+15 to get to Mobile from Perdido Key. 5) No.

Very cool Mumbles. I must admit, the Flanker is an absolutely beautiful aircraft. Its always been one of my favorites.

If I was still up near DC you could've counted me in - Unfortunately I'm "stuck" down here in Florida. :icon_mi_1 I do miss the museums that DC had. I really wish I had made to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center at least once more before I left...

I shipped to OCC with plantar fasciitis in my right foot and it only got worse. A stress fracture is more severe - I developed one during TBS and had it checked out right after we completed the 15 mile hike so I could stay with my Company... But its not something you want to have to cope with on...

I was referring to the mnemonic device, Sir. Something about 19 year olds and bearin' their goods... If I recall correctly. ;)

Ch 19 is my favorite. :tongue2_1

Fixed. And Big Biff, I'm anxiously awaiting The Pacific as well.
