What language? I'm not sure, but I think the latest change said that if you speak a language on the "critical" list, and pass the DLPT to a certain level, you will receive the pay no matter what your billet. (I didn't mention it earlier because I'm not sure and most folks aren't that...

Yeah, I should have specified. NROTC. USN. USMC. ENTIRELY separate programs from Army ROTC and AFROTC. I have NEVER, EVER, seen or heard of a non-naval service cross commission with regards to NROTC. The closest was a Marine Option senior, OCS complete, who wanted an Intel slot bad...

I had to turn in all incendiaries and the radio, everything else I kept. SOP (for my squadron at least), was that if you were going to another flying billet, you keep your stuff. I had them pull my CO2 so I could put it in my carry-on (airlines change their requirements everytime I fly). I...

ledhead, I am not a recruiter, nor am I an MOI (USMC head Officer instructor at NROTC units). My post was based on 4 years of NROTC, 8 years AD, and a lot of friends in all services. You need to bust out the yellow pages and look up USMC recruiting, specifically Officer Recruiting ASAP.

I sincerely doubt speaking another language would significantly help your chances at selection for an aviation billet. AppleCello, the only professional opportunity to attend language training for a Junior Officer, in aviation, would be if you went to a Personnel Exchange Program billet (what...

Do you mean outside of work, on your own time? Why not?

Must be an EP-3 thing. I have all my own gear (2 SV2s, actually), and helmet, sans O2 mask, since ours are already part of the cockpit.

Get winged, finish the RAG, get into a Fleet squadron in a good location where you have a few friends. If you guys watch out for each other and keep things in perspective (learn what's worth worrying about and what's beyond your control, don't be a d!ck), you'll have an absolute blast.

I had both of these happen to me on my first deployment in the desert. I thought I was drinking enough water, I was wrong. Nothing like playing phone tag with the Flight Doc for 3 days after an annual physical due to a post-it note onyour door reading: "LTJG XXXXXXX, please call me ASAP due...

Thread closed to keep the nitpicking down. The point has been made. dsfrebel, if you have more pointed, specific questions, pm me or any other moderator and we'll re-open it.

The correct nomenclature is "jorts".

My old squadron. Well done.

"Where are you from?" belongs in Private Messages. Thread locked due to downward spiral. Oh yeah, make sure to "check your own six"....WTF.

Worst Post Of the Week. Congrats.

I know exactly what post you're referring to, and the mod who deleted it was completely correct. It had ZERO relevance to anything related to this site. ZERO. You want to post "funny links" go to collegehumor.com.

Sitting here with a mild headache...I standby this post being ok. I know plenty of people who have flown into the local airport at State College for everything from gameday flyovers to recruiting events. This qualifies as "good eats on the road" gouge.

If we have an entire thread devoted to restaurants, this isn't out of line. I'm fvcking drunk right now, someone smarter or more coherent can merge it. Focus: I'm a Penn Stater, and would punch someone in the face right now for a bite of their plain as$ vanilla. That's how Gadddamn good...

"trash the engine"...meaning? Know this, if it isn't official, anyone on here with experience is going to gloss over what you post.

Hemp, do a search for Naval Aviator and also Naval Flight Officer, that should help you out. I'll also mention, I don't know what "Hempdiddy" is in reference to. If it's what I think, you may want to represent yourself in a different light.

Say more with less.

I just deleted 20+ posts in this thread with absolutely nothing to do with the topic. Threadjacking is one thing, personal conversations about your college/frat/rotc unit can all be done in PMs. As far as the hamburger thing, enough. Eddie's first comment was funny, leave it at that.

edit: not these days.

Thread reset. Keep it constructive. Thull, you get better responses with less general, more pointed questions.

If I EVER see someone use that ballcap brim miner's lamp, I will make fun of them until they cry.

Come on, "Dude Where's My Car" was SO bad it was good.

Av greens are a special order item from Navy Exchange. They're scheduled to be done away with. As far as dress khakis, I don't like them, but that isn't the point. We don't need another d@mn uniform.

Don't you have the option to continue as SELRES with your squadron? Dude, if so DO IT. Do everything you can to become an AC.

I'm wasted maybe I'll add something tomm.

Skid, we have FLIR, EO...that's what got us over the dirt. The system is actually pretty d@mn good. We just aren't considered priority for any designators, which is over my paygrade. All I know is the snake eaters keep asking why we don't have it and we have no answer other than "my boss says...

Dream on Skid. And by dream, I mean request it every single time someone asks you what you and your guys want. Our turret would fit a designator perfectly, as would our hardpoints, but "that's not what we're here for" ("roger that Sir"). Of course, neither are overland missions...but I'm...

Jesvs dude, you're missing the big picture, how many of those people will (a) get winged and then (b) move on to XX number of squadrons.

Considering that it's still a "test program" and isn't designed to completely replace line-officer pilots, it shouldn't have a huge impact.

Close, but not quite. Nice to come back to one of my (least) favorite topics ever.

Supposedly the Orion RAG is trying to move away from the BS numbers and limits questions. When the Webmaster goes through for the second time, maybe he'll have some insight. (Concur that 75% of the deep systems stuff we have to know is directly applicable to breaking down in the middle of...

That had better be an attempt at humor and/or sarcasm....

30 grand...yeah that'll just about cover your airline tickets to go to interviews...

You'd be very suprised.

Not being a d!ck, but that's pretty standard.

Yeah, he was awesome in "Coming to America" as the doped up robber, or in "Basic" as every other character he's ever played, in a half as$ Army uniform. Don't get me wrong, I love me some SLJ, he kicks as$. I will see SOAP, but SLJ is a work whore, for the bucks, he'll take any role. I...

First of all, heyjoe, you are the man. How many times on this website have I seen someone from another community bash and smash one of the more obscure branches of Naval Aviation (and I am completely guilty of doing this). Fvcking A man, class act. dnweinwreb, do everything in your power to...

"The files are IN the computer! So simple!" Ahhhh, well, I DID look like a bit of a mo-ron regarding using the Pandora site, so I'll concede that it was my own fault. If it weren't for Limewire, I'd be FVCKED as far as getting any music down here. Not that I download anything...

I assure you, I know what Limewire is.

Not every P-3 has a 137. The ones I fly now have...I don't know, I think it's a leprachaun with binoculars in the radome. It's....bad.

Yeah I just figured it out by letting it play for a while. Unfotunately, it just followed The Clash with some kind of pro-gay punk sung..."we wanna sock it to your bottom"...uh....

ahhhh, I thought it was going to give me a list of stuff to check out. example, I type in "hank williams III", and it just plays me a hank III song...I dunno, I can just do a search on any random music site and find stuff that way...I guess I can use it to preview songs I don't know.

Alright, I like the idea,and I'm trying to figure it out (I need to load my ipod before I go on vacation). How do you get it to recc stuff?

The only reason I mention the bathroom thing is because I stopped somewhere in west Texas in a T-44, I don't even remember where, and the sh!tter had lived up to its name. I flipped out on the poor girl at the desk.

Hot female employees and a clean bathroom are always nice.

TACAN air-to-air range with paired freqs for 2 aircraft is a nice feature when you have a playmate and no air-air radar of your own.
