What's up with your avatar?

Yep, the ogre guy was a bear, but if you had your briefs and comms wired, he laid off, even with normal SNA ham-hands (flew my first PAR with him, expected to get slammed on the debrief, actually came out above'd and went to South Padre to party). The other guy (Rocko?) was a former USN rescue...

Are 27 and 28 still non-USCG? As an aside, two of the best IPs I remember from 31 were Coasties, one was a hardass (but Santa on the gradesheet), the other was a velvet hammer (but still super cool).

I've done both. The "sea - shore" translates to "overseas - conus.". Like most jobs, qol/satisfaction depends on your boss. I have been lucky, for sure. To OP, chance of waiver is minimal. HUGE applicant pool of guys with Masters, language, full overseas tour.

Call the detailer (on bupers) and ask. He's a good guy. Signed, 1310 to 1710 Grad

Jesus Christ, my eyes can't roll hard enough. OP, listen to your gut. I bet if you study a little and aren't a douche you'll get winged and have fun wherever you go.

SERIOUS COASTIE IS SERIOUS!

Long shot, but if anybody on here has used the MWR boat rental at said location, I'd like to pick your brain a bit. Let me know via pm.

"Feinstein added that Petraeus will no longer be required to testify at hearings next week related to the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya Sept. 11." uh, what?

That was fucking awful. The one woman in Enid and some man tits. Really awful.

and I bet those P-8 Hot Pockets are super crispy and have molten cheese and taste of hot hate for any sub-surface contacts that threaten our God given Right to watch Snooki get arrested. AGAIN. mmmmmmmmmm

There's temptation to dwell on your inflammatory posts. I won't. It's a tough problem with less and less resources and experience to deal with it. We're the world's best. You have 31 years in? Then you know that there's a lot of folks cranking at 115% to ensure it's dealt with, and will be...

As with your VF examples, those that can make a difference are doing so.

Cool story bro

"Those who know don't talk. Those who talk don't know."

I doubt that's what he meant.

DREAMS CRUSHED - CHECK

No.

Question answered. Locked.

edg33, are you intentionally using the "Report post" function in this thread, three times now?

Exactly, people are confusing having to compose their own cititaions and/or narratives when instructed to do so by their boss(es), typical for EOT, and not out of the question. "Putting yourself in for" an award means you think you should receive some decoration and put together the awards...

The majority of PSU LA grads I know are making great money doing what they love. To include former NAs. One man's experience is not the end all be all of what will happen to you once you get out, or the Navy decides it's your time.

I looked at the sub-forum and figured soda wanted coast guard specific gouge, but fuck it, Hawaii was phenomenal. I was single and had the time of my JO life. Most of my married friends and their wives loved it too.

If we answer "no," will you still apply?

Take every reason you'd refer to them as the Knives Club instead of the Wives Club (and I've been fortunate enough to also have seen a true Wives Club that supports a unit vice tearing it apart), multiply it by 10. Every reason.

Disclaimer: Pure personal opinion. Kadena knives club(s) still stands in my mind as the worst example of military spouses I have ever seen in my career. True insanity.

"i seen better actin in tough-actin-Tinactin"

Then quit fucking around and apply for a commissioning source. Your situation is like guys talking about wanting to enlist in the reserves before applying to an officer accession program. Joining the Irish whatever is only going to slow down and complicate your process. It will be viewed as a...

Could a fellow mod split this thread? I would but I have a 1994 speed internet connection at the moment.

This guy did it on a paper plate. Which somehow makes it weirder/funnier/grosser than if he had done it right on the carpet or even on a real plate. At least in my book, I dunno. Kind of like how a duck is always funnier than a chicken, except when both are dead. Because a dead chicken is still...

I know a guy who did the same thing to a DH, but in a BOQ. The maid found it first, hilarity did not ensue.

Didn't they hit one of those big AC units? I vaguely remember going into Cordova Mall after the fact on a CCX and having one of my local student buds point out the replacement unit that was clearly new in comparison.

Ok, take a deep breath and relax. NROTC PT is not something to worry about. Based on your first post in this thread, you won't be leading the pack but you won't be at the very back. Clearly, you need to run more, so get on it. Find out when out o-week is, and build up from one mile a day...

I'll take 20, provided Fred Sanford is featured in some manner.

No I'm with mil group side of things. They offered to send my wife (we would have had to pay for ammo), but I opted for unaccompanied orders.

Just did INTAC (Individual Anti-Terrorism Awareness Course) for people going to billets putting them at higher risk. 4 days of lectures/powerpoint (75% painful, 25% fascinating). All the classroom is worth it once you get to do the tactical weapons course (all done with a contracted company...

Remember that these aircraft are being stored for 4 reasons: long-term future use or short-term future use (no idea how that is determined), parts picking, or DOD excess defense articles (planes with usable "life" on them, but considered obsolete in terms of sophistication or mission set by the...

392Hemi, you can expect no sympathy or slack from this crowd. If you see wings under a username, it means the poster is a bonafide Naval Aviator or Naval Flight Officer. We've seen stories like yours firsthand, more than once. If your situation warranted encouragement or affirmation, you'd...

It's a living, ups and downs. The people I know who are unhappy are mostly folks who didn't realize how much work it is, how diverse the daily requirements are, and the extent that their respective COCOM would rely on them. There are a shitload of subsets to Security Cooperation, and FAOs...

Threadjack, but just to clarify in case this comes up in a search, there are about 220 USN FAOs and about 30 are LTs. The accession process is tweaked to account for "new build" FAOs (meaning they need at least part of the training track: Masters, language or both) to bring the community to the...

Seriously? Some peopleview this site on government computers. Link deleted, inappropriate.

I looked him up. Did a Gulf tour, some other stuff. Appears non-prior E or O. Yes, compared to 20-30 years ago, more awards than you would think. Normal these days, for better or worse. Not important, he's doing the job, and from what I've read doing it well.

Without a screencap, we can only speculate. Odds are he/she was prior enlisted or prior service (which most of us think of as an aviation only thing, but I've met quite a few non-aviators who've crossed into the light blue).

so the topic is award inflation, not smuggling?

@othromas: I had mine done at the tailor shop at DLI. I spent 30 min explaining EXACTLY what needed to be done and they made it happen perfectly, 7-ish years later, serious abuse, and the patches are still exactly where they need to be, nothing loose at all.

I'm going to wire in the PSU crowd once we figure out what the plan is.

Always had a smile and a beer ready for you on the porch of Sig Tau.

I've dealt with this for the ;ast 5 years as far as foreign customer demand. I'm all about U.S. industry, but Beech fucked this away, willingly.
