Calling it "our own backyard" is one of the key errors made in analyzing the area. I had the same attitude prior to serving down there, and while I tempered that after my tour, further (formal) study highlighted how f-ed up that perception is. These are hemispheric neighbors, not client...

Just search for "trash can smoker." There're a few different versions. A lot of them involve an electric hot plate. I tried that, and didn't like it. With the hole in the bottom, and a "door" made of heavy cardboard (I gotta get some tri-wall), I can swap out fire boxes easily with my...

I lived in South America for 3 years, I speak Spanish, I appreciate the food, trust me. But sometimes you just want pulled pork, brisket, ribs...

I enjoy telling people, "yeah I made this in a trash can," as I serve the ribs in the lid. I should have added to the cost of construction: about $15 bucks for a case of beer.

I'm at a shore command, enjoying banker's hours, great weather, and weekends to myself. Being a foodie and bbq lover, I was craving brisket. Unfortunately, southern Florida has more cuban sandwiches than true bbq. Did some internet research and found a DIY answer. So I built a trash-can...

To answer the inevitable question, those "awards" are not authorized. From: http://www.npc.navy.mil/NR/rdonlyres/31EC26CD-AF40-4A61-BABD-343A5E1E8AA2/0/PrecedenceofAwards.doc The following is a list of AWARDS WHICH ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR WEAR ON THE NAVY UNIFORM: Air Force Small Arms...

Yeah, go to TMZ for that shit. Does not belong here.

I'll tell you first hand, polarized work(ed) fine in the 44. P-3, not so much. (I bought new sunglasses for flying in advanced, only to have a nice set of beach-goers once I got to the RAG)

While this thread was dead in the water from the start, stupid posts like that are what gets a thread closed. Just because you CAN post doesn't mean that you SHOULD.

That, and misuse can result in serious, sometimes life-threatening health risks. (Seen it. Creatine. Not pretty. Guy was taken off flight status.)

She's been banned and ridiculed. Moderation complete.

With the exception of the Choker Whites, Abbotts is overpriced and their customer service is mediocre at best. And nice attempt at sneaking in advertisements. Go NEX. Save your money for beer.

You've already asked this question in a roundabout way and I posted links explaining the process.

I work in FMS. Very very basically, having to modify an older airframe and then maintain it as an additional, permanently partially mission capable aircraft does not work out in the overall cost-benefit analysis.

You'll get your required hours for flight pay without padding hours. If for some reason you don't get the hours, you get a waiver.

Um, no. The FRS is like 12-13 flights (someone else is more current on this than me). You come out a conditionally qualified as a 3P. The you go to your Sea Tour. Usually you upgrade in your Fleet squadron (NOT the FRS) to PPC in 18 months-ish. That means roughly 9-ish months as a 3P and...

Pilot time is what counts toward required hours for Patrol Plane Commander. Special Crew Time is not counted. Right. And to reiterate, SCT does not count. If you are on a 4 hour training flight, your pilot time is what is ultimately used. It is a big deal. Padding hours is shady at...

No. 700 hours total military time.

Welcome to being an officer. You'll be presented with these types of scenarios for the rest of your career. How you adapt and execute will directly affect how you develop professionally. You can continue to bullshit for 7 hours a day. But if not knowing the background knowledge you see...

It isn't like you've been ordered to burn shitters. Jesus Christ. You're doing standard staff work. Waah. Have you asked anyone what it is that you're going over? If you don't understand something, ask until you get an answer. Maybe even learn something. Bloom where you're planted. At...

from your bio: "graduated FMSS and became a mid" You're a midshipman, you wear that uniform.

did you make that up, or is it an actual piece of "knowledges" in the hummer world?

I was going to delete this, but it's a good example of what does not belong on this site. Just because it's on the news doesn't mean it's pertinent to AW.

What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah no. Stay in your lane BDCP guy. Oh yeah. % joke. Take a week off.

This is stupid. Question answered. Thread closed.

at 105K, on a touch-and-go, fail-to-feather, with a student pilot and FE in the seat. Well done John.

RE: props to helos I was an exchange pilot for 3 yrs with a South American navy, and met quite a few guys who had went back and forth from fixed wing to rotary squadrons. You have to understand that the naval air arm of a lot of those nations is very very small. Sometimes its cheaper to...

made. my. day. shaw5fe aka Ice Cold Douche, "learn it, know it, live it."

First, take the Annapolis cock out of your mouth son, you're drooling. Second, so everyone is clear, "ICE COLD BEER" is also known as "shaw5fe." Search for his posts, he's clearly a down-to-earth, rationale person... Please, ICBshaw5fe, school us, we want to learn more!

Eh, I seem to recall that there has to be something along the lines of: Ribbons specifically disallowed on the Navy uniform may be found here. http://kepler.pratt.duke.edu/Ribbons/USNRdisallowed.html (found at http://kepler.pratt.duke.edu/USNRibbons.html) Air Force Small Arms Expert...

I've met 2 female Navy EOD personnel, one officer, one enlisted.

You, sir, suck.

rocky.martin21@gmail.com 119.30.87.174 ean.reid87@gmail.com 119.30.87.174 nice try, thanks for playing. All this guy had to do is ask the Webmaster for permission and I'm sure that if he did in fact have a deal for military folks, we'd have welcomed him. Instead he used "trickery." Ban.

Or he could follow procedure, not self medicate, and GO SEE THE DOC.

Oh it wasn't fo-evah. Yet. But keep playing...

Wanna find out?

Or a ban. But thanks for playing! (hands virtual Rice-a-Roni)

Do you know how I know you're gay? ...

Wow. Never tell any story tht starts that way ever, ever again.

Very very slight possibility of some type of SPECWAR orientation-type thing as a midshipman during CORTRAMID (not talking about mini-BUD/S). I don't even know if they still do that, or if females can participate.

You don't know that for certain. I spent a long time as a Force Protection Officer, an even longer time stationed abroad, and now deal with the issue of keeping a low profile while overseas constantly. Don't make yourself a target. You don't know what crazies you'll encounter, even going to...

IFS/API/Flight school is not the end-all, be-all of what you were trying to attain. It's all steps on the path. Giving up a shot at Naval Aviation based on a few rides in a fucking Cessna is ridiculous. You have a slot locked down in the USN. You have NO legitimate idea if this USCG plan...
