    How did you become a Naval Flight Officer

    You'll get far more responses if you take the time to capitalize and use proper punctuation in your posts. Consider that professional advice.

    Got any good beer recommendations?

    I attribute my above average performance at INTAC to nightly exposure to Flying Dog Kujo coffee stout. Still aging a few 12 ouncers.

    Got any good beer recommendations?

    Can you get CigarCity brews up there? I haven't been disappointed in any of their stuff. They're out of the Tampa area if I remember right, I always grab a big bottle of whatever is fresh when on leave visiting my wife in Miami. Jai Alai IPA in cans is always one of my go to beers for...

    DLPT scores are only good for one year. Getting one documented now for a potential lat move years down the road really won't do anything. Depending on the language and the individual's job upon commissioning, taking the DLPT (and passing) may result in receipt of Foreign Language Proficiency...

    It's bunions, likely no one will care unless you can't do your job for some reason. You need to grow some thicker skin and figure out quick that the different Navy communities are going to rip on/bash each other for the rest of your career, in varying degrees, from friendly ribbing to...

    WHICH Brown Shoe?

    This is important dammit!
  13. zab1001

    WHICH Brown Shoe?

    None of that affects the bates lite foam soles. I actually kept one pair for "earth" and one for any air travel, mil or civilian. The ones that went up (ESP in an unpressurized bomb bay) had the soles collapse in short order.
  14. zab1001

    WHICH Brown Shoe?

    High alt transit, sea bag in bomb bay or even the tube has enough pressure difference to make the "lite" sole's air pockets expand and contract, eventual sole disintegration. But I bet your crumbling shoes distracted onlookers from your shiny bald head Schlem.

    What's your favorite micro brew

    I tried to drink a Bolita 750 on the kayak, hilarity ensued.

    What's your favorite micro brew

    They don't release Humidor Series in cans do they? That's why I like Jai Alai and Maduro (and really any other good beer in a can), I can pack them easy and take them kayak fishing.
  20. zab1001

    What's your favorite micro brew

    Yeah, case in point, fucking gross. Doesn't work as a concept, doesn't work as executed. Instead of making a quality Rauchbier, the gimmick fuck it away. Then they had/have the balls to charge anywhere from 10 to 18 bucks for that swill. On a positive note, the website offered a "3 decade"...

    What's your favorite micro brew

    Oh keep trying, you'll start finding their stinkers. They make some solid beers, but in a lot of cases jump the shark trying to be clever. Irksome, considering the price for their bombers. Rogue's stuff is a decent intro/starter kit for craft brews. I don't know if Cigar City (Tampa) has...

    Being a Naval Aviator with a spouse in Law/Medicine/professional career

    My wife is a lawyer. She took the multi-state bar, or whatever it's called, and is willing to take the bar in states where that doesn't cover it. That said, I'm stationed overseas right now (required for my career path), and she's in the US for this tour, since getting accredited here would...

    Australia requests authority to purchase 24 more Super Hornets

    I think Motley Fool has confused Congressional Notification of Possible Sale (36B) with actual purchase. Plenty of CNs get approved and nothing comes of the project for whatever reason (funding, priority shifts, political issues in buyer's country, tech transfer issues). Given that it's...

    You pay like 25 bucks a year, charged to the Amex I think, and then you get access. Show the card and boarding pass, you get into the lounge. Never used a priority pass in conus, but oconus they give you free soda/water/juice/snacks/Internet and 2 free cocktails. If they have a kitchen and...

    AMEX Platinum

    They ask when your anticipated separation date is. Who knows if they verify annually through their SCRA confirmation system. My guess is, they use this: https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/scra/scraHome.do
  38. zab1001

    AMEX Platinum

    Yes, $200 with the airline you specify, food/booze on flights, and in the lounges of the airline you've named (apart from whatever freebie snacks and well drinks they may or may not provide). I've also had inflight internet applied, but not always.

    Priority Pass lounges are either actual Priority Pass properties (more common overseas) or participating airlines. I've used my Priority Pass Select in everything from TACA to KLM. I specified AA as my carrier of choice with AMEX, so I only need an AA boarding pass, my Plat AMEX and a gov't ID...

    What I was noting was that only 6 airports allow military members to use CAC cards in lieu of actual registration and membership at the PreCheck line. Hopefully the program will continue to expand.

    They ask for name, service, date of service entry, and then run an SCRA eligibility confirmation.

    At what airports? TSA only lists six that are participating right now in PreCheck with CAC cards: Charlotte Douglas, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, Honolulu International, Reagan, SEATAC and Dulles. Have you had luck in other airports?

    AMEX Platinum

    And once you have Global Entry (CBP), you're in the Pre Check system as well (TSA). Unfortunately you can't use Pre Check for International travel. The GE application is very similar to an SF 86, so you need your addresses for the last 5 yrs handy, and there is an in-person interview after you...
