I just put the words "differences" and "branches" in the search box. wonders never cease.

Early front runner nominee for worst thread of the year. No more. "Well, I read on Airwarrios that chicks dig _____" Kill yourself.

I'm stealing this and applying it to the reserve Ensign who works in my office.

To all: Stay respectful and on topic in regard to the Original Poster's legitmate questions.

The point is that you're relying on personal anecdotes, conclusion drawn from observation, and your intepretation of what you were told. "Right now they don't really need pilots, so I believe it would be pretty hard to transition." Key phrase highlighted. You don't have all the...

If you think winged dudes in similar situations aren't sold out by the higher ups in the same manner as the O-1s described by GS, you're sorely mistaken.

Argentina? Elaborate please, I'm curious, considering the IMF bond buyout Chavez and Kirchner negotiated a few years back.

Look at the poster's screen name.

Approaching max stupid. Lock.

Gordon Biersch is the fucking Applebee's of brewpubs. Next.

Nope. Done.

I'm not going to argue this with you. My point is that without the background, it's foolish to assume. I'm out.

So you have no idea what the background is on this, yet feel the need to assess the situation and pass judgment anyway? A better post would have read something along the lines of "Does anyone know the background on this event?"

For VP vice VQ, 300KIAS is still used down low when the situation warrants. Before the restriction (and in other countries), 300+ was/is always an option.

The exchange billets I've seen, both USN and USMC, were geared toward O3s.

who has to carry the "chalks"

Or you could develop personality, wit and charm. I'm a (BLANK) might get your foot in the door. If she's basing her decision solely on that, good luck and pull out. Obviously, we agree to disagree. It's ok, my job is cooler anyway.

What's sad is it took me 30 seconds to understand that at all. Well done. For the last year I could say student. Now I'm a 'consultant.'

My experience has gone the other way. The usual routine: Said poser starts talking with his hands and running his suck about being a "Pilot" or a "Naval Aviator." Ask 2 or 3 very simple questions. Get wrong answers. Ask 1 or 2 more simple, pointed questions, get wrong answers. Call them...

Until said poser gets exposed by the real thing. Satisfying.

You don't get to choose SHIT, new guy.

For all intents and purposes a resounding NO.

Very much so. Best bet is to play the hand you're dealt. Odds are, if you feel you're being f-ed by one command, you'll get hooked up by another down the road. I go to Vegas A LOT.

If you want to go outside the limits take leave. Easy. The limit also enables the command to recall you and have you back onsite in a timely manner. I'd also refrain from bitching about what is basically a very lax policy. Some commands adjust and it can be a very, very good deal. However...

I'd say wait to drop that much money on a watch for when she actually gets her wings.

I dunno about the T-6 or PC-9, but the PC-7 was wayyy more ergonomic and comfortable than the T-34. It isn't like I need a lot of room, but I had more space than I knew what to do with.

Cut down two pieces of plexiglass, put it inside, bolt the corners together. I know frame stores sell UV protective plexiglass. Get a frame stand for 3 bucks.

Yeah, that worked well in the early 90's with the Medellin and Cali cartels. Massive bilateral effort that created a power vacuum which was filled by the FARC and AUC. "Oh but the FARC is almost defeated." Yeah right. Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) programs are...

Dunno how I'd chime in, other than Mumbles is right, no one is above making a bonehead mistake. I've made plenty.

This one time...at TBS... shuuuuuuut uuuuuuuuuup

Wow. You know what? That was probably the one of the most intelligent, gentlemanly responses I've seen on here. You've made valid points, for sure. (btw, the flight pay increase thing, I agree, i was adressing per diem issues, que sera sera) For the moment, I have no dog in this fight...

First of all, per diem covered what I was charged for meals and food. The Q wasn't free. Meals were not free, when the mess hall is closed for your schedule and you pay 3 meals a day out of pocket at the whatever is available, it adds up quick. Any money saved was from skipping meals, usually...

Funny original post, no more youtube stupidity.

While I'm sure you're being facetious, and not to sound like Tom "L-Ron" Cruise, how many kids do you know these days who are being medicated that really just need to be told to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up? I recently heard a 2-star talk about how many potential recruits are being...

FEs wh do C-12 gigs usually serve as loadmasters. He will not be a pilot. Period. Dot. And that's all that needs to be said about this gig. OPSEC. Thread closed.

Take the high ground, do not do something you will regret later. People can be taken away from you at any moment. Don't say something you'll regret later. Stick to your guns, prove you're right, but do it in a manner that reflects what you aspire to become.

for Christ's sake...

Chilean AF still has them. I was taxiing back to the line one day way far south and my jaw dropped when I saw a few on the flightline, loaded up and everything. Not really private, per se, but they use them for firefighting in Cali. A few years back I was driving to LA from up north during...

You're comparing apples and oranges. Do some research on OV.

Hey guys, I was wondering if having prior flight time will help me get jets? o wait... Your driving experience certainly won't HURT your aptitude for flying. A better question is how good are you at memorizing massive amounts of information and regurgitating them as you apply their...

I'd do it, but I have 3 days comped in Vegas. Call the NROTC unit, I'm sure there are a few Mids who'd help you out.

Exactly, I'm right down the road, but then I read "young." It's all a scam anyway, a request for "strapping young Navy Men" with a wink icon...in San Fran...

Search function + "fighter pilot power pack" http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131950&highlight=fighter+pilot+power+pack done. locked.

yeah, right after I confirm I'm actually graduating.

I had to sit through the Headline News "coverage" during my lunch break. Truly retarded job by the newscaster.

stop feeding trolls.

That makes sense, I had some E6 IPs back in the day who told me they didn't do SERE.

Long story short: I wanted braces for purely cosmetic reasons when I was in my first Fleet squadron. I was nice/friendly with the Navy dentist. She was willing to sign off on "the extent to which braces are warranted" (I guess Doc's are granted some discretion in this). HOWEVER, I was...

Sure but it's a royal pain in the ass in the interim.

NPS is melting down over this. I had to spend an extra 3 hours doing research i'd already done as a result of the new policy. grah.
