? Dude, I know you haven't been to the desert yet. THAT is a sh!thole. Kadena is as good as it's gonna get. Enjoy it now. I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat. -Great Gym(s) -Decent flightline Grub -NCO Club breakfast is the bomb. -Sunday Brunch at the O'Club. -Friday night...

I have no idea what a "Barrell Crew" is. To reiterate, the 'real test' is once a year, given and overseen by VP-30. Quarterlies are in-house proficiency checks to make sure no one has severe NATOPS amnesia. They aren't a big deal (many times I did mine alone in my office). Maybe the Wing...

Good story Snort. Time to close the thread due to developing stupidity.

OneOddGuy, start here: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/cmps_index.php?page=best_threads

quick explanation to avoid blatant threadjack: Quarterlies are just in-house tests to make sure everyone is prepped for the annual visit from VP-30. They don't count for anything and can serve as a wake-up call for certain individuals. I can't remember ever actually studying for one...

Hell, we only do 'em once a year as well. At least these days.

"Factoryhand", is that really the callsign for HTs? That's a fvcking mouthful.

Someone already asked, but what are you talking about?

You're an extremely far distance from being ACCEPTED. If you have pointed, specific questions, ask away. Otherwise, refine your search function skills. I'll dig around for the old threads this weekend, now I need a nap.

VP: Jax Fl, Brunswick Maine, Whidbey Island WA, K-bay Hawaii VQ: Whidbey Island

The plethora of idiocy lately needs to be slowed down.

No. Thread closed to avoid inevitable tard-fest that will ensue.

On the flip side, both flight surgeons I had in my last squadron were fvcking awesome and bent over backward to keep everyone med up.

and alcoholic....don't forget alcoholic...

Look at it this way, if it's being discussed on here, his future squadron will know for sure, and if it's true, and if they're worth a d@mn, he'll get his a$s handed to him daily.

with gloves? and short sleeves??? what????

I vote that you're high. (sentiment of smilies, but I still think you're high) SDBs look great and have DEEP roots. I understand the issue with a double-breasted coat (I keep it GQ), but a little tailoring goes a long way. On that note, Flying Cross makes a "slim cut" SDB jacket that works...

Random question for you guys, specific for me, has anyone, ever, used a sword (with belt, gloves) with summer whites? Maybe OCS guys?

I think the reason a lot of USMC types don't "crush" is because the green pisscutter is made of a different material. I wear it with my Av Greens, and it just doesn't sit right when I "dimple" it. I gave up, it just sits very rigid. Luckily, I don't really have to wear a cover much except at...

not the case these days

Problem with that, Slammer, is any newbies with a time critical question have to wait to get a possibly critical yet simple question answered.

I'd reserve FNG for any legitimate Nuggets... until then, wannabee will suffice

I actually saw a guy smoke during a PRT. I mean...DURING THE RUN. He finished around 9:30...just....awesome...

camelback gatorade + vodka

but can I switch from NFO to Pilot?

Bottom line, do not count on having any VR options when you select. They may pop up, but they are NOT the norm.

No one is going to let you do SERE before wings, at least not these days. Another chance for you to "break" in some manner and delay your training or possibly remove you from the pipeline. Not to mention spill the beans to all your fellow Enswines about the process.

Good prep for the Fleet.

You'd be suprised.

Are you joking?

With the Navy awards system, check back in about 3 years.

I'm sure this will turn into another "buy a nice watch vs. don't buy a nice watch" thread, but few things entertain me as much as watching someone seethe during a hop over jacking up some wrist-blang (and it IS 'blAng') on a preflight. If you sport that God-awful Blue Angels nav-wheel...

Or "for God's sake"...and I ain't talkin' about japanese rice wine.

My buddy had a "Basinji" (no idea how to spell that, it looked like 'Santa's Little Helper' on the Simpsons). He sent it home with Mom when she visited Hawaii. Flash foward to us picking it up from the kennel after deployment and the requisite quarantine. I guess it didn't recognize him (or...

USMC1775, are you asking the question for yourself, a friend, or for general knowledge(s)? Just curious.

I've heard of squadrons having a secret stash...it's generally frowned upon, I'd guess due to (a) the whole "no booze onboard, (b) "glamorization of alcohol", thank you DAPA and "the Right Spirit", and (c) the ineviatable and constant DUI checks on base (going on and coming out of the gate)...

I understand your point, but to quote myself: Sabre, I'd bet the Instructors you're talking about are referring to the LDO TACCOs and possibly CWO AWs.

(A) I have never seen any CWO FE's...maybe it happened in the past...but I've never seen/heard of/been exposed to any CWO FE's in a flying billet in an active duty squadron. In P-3s. I've worked with AMDOs who WERE FEs. (B) I'll buy that there are CWOs out there still doing their AW gig. At...

What is a TACMO? TACCO. Been flying P-3s for almost 6 years, never seen a CWO in a flying bilet. No way anyone is going to get "OJT" and then considered qualified, especially in VP. You're probably talking about the LDOs who went through a few years ago. Another test program that...

complete threadjack...I am now on a mission to find a new use for the term "Clamshelling" a la "Dutch Oven"/"Dirty Sanchez"/"Stinkpalm"/"Blackbeard" now back to "Is It Torture?"

Vacuum tubes? No man, there's a Gnome in there with a tinfoil hat. Seriously, I'm not going to get into a pissing match about it. I've shat gyros in the goo, real world, and the baby games of Mentorland came in handy. Unfortunately "the most modern military in the world" still has steam...

I really can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Stop. Threadjacking. on topic: Pretty much any "----- of the Month" is awesome. I always ask for people to suprise me with stuff like that when they ask what I want for Xmas/birthday. Beer, steaks, scotch, bacon (yes bacon). Nick-knacks are cool, and I know people want to get something...

or you could sack up and donate 10 bucks to the site. no ads.

gunshot wounds and c-section scars....

Because Winter Blues always worked so well at the HUB...:rolleyes: sorry man, hadda do it

No no no, I know Hoov, he really is an a-hole. I KEED.

I sincerely hope that video follows all those douchebags for the rest of their careers. Do they really have camo netting up on the ceiling in the office... Nice haircuts...
