Here's the latest scoop, Iron Maiden: Results from December board were released today. If your scholarship went to the boards and you weren't picked, it means they passed over your application and will review it again. This happened to me apparently, contrary to what my recruiter said would...

Thanks for the tips. I'm still waiting to hear whether or not a scholarship at all, but once/if my recruiter gives me my options, I'll let you know what I end up doing.

Become an EMT.

Looks to me like he has post 667.

Your username is pretty ironic. In all seriousness though, good luck!

Guess it was a no-go for last week. Maybe this time...

Same. Apparently we might hear this week. But then again my recruiter's been telling me that for months. I'll let you know when I hear anything. What schools are you applying to?

...and learn the difference between an adverb and an adjective while you're at it.

I heard from my recruiter that my top choice school's NROTC unit had already filled up before my application even went to the boards. He said if I eventually receive a scholarship to a different school, I can opt out of that and ask to be put on the waiting list for my top choice school...

I see these in his future...

That's one way to conceal it.

Was the second run on their intended target close-by or was that friendly fire?

Ah, understood.

...so it would be impossible for a conveyor belt going any speed to hold the plane in the same place?

I thought the point of the conveyor belt was that it would move at the same speed but opposite to the wheels so the plane stays in the same place. Is this it or did I read it wrong?

My recruiter has been telling me that I'll hear next week... since early October. The kind lady at NSTC told me that there was a board around the 15th or so and I would be hearing sometime in January. Apparently there is some kind of waiting list for the boards as my package was complete in...

I think there are few who would disagree. They call Churchill "the Last Lion" for a reason.

Just read a great book called Ship of Ghosts about the U.S.S. Houston. It tells the true story of the POW's in Japanese-held East Asia and the real story of "Bridge over the River Kwae". Recommended for any WW2 buff.

England is a pathetic shell of its former self.

Fuck no. Go up to Canada and get injured there. See how well Universal Health care works.

Okay... they both operate UAVs, so the answer to your question would be "yes".

"I don't know if you noticed, but I did over a thousand"

I wouldn't call Werner Herzog, "Hollywood". The man is a legend unto himself. He has no political agenda.

It's very naive to assume that actions which would only benefit the government have been committed by non-government rivals. As for "the good ol' days", I seem to recall there was a similar sense of nostalgia and humiliation in Germany during the 1920-30s. Don't think that a disgraced country...

I think it's naive to assume that Russia could never make a return to its former state. Russia is sad and pathetic but does anyone remember post-War World I Germany? Russia's government is a criminal organization: such is almost a prerequisite for war with America. You have painted a very clear...

...he says at 3:17 on a tuesday ;).

(I posted twice.)

I've never heard of an Air Force aircraft whose name is better than any Navy aircraft.

Yep. Just getting more specific and adding a visual.

I suggest painting either mickey mouse heads or mouse silhouettes on the side of the Puma ala:

Buy an airgun and reenact The Predator.

Next Board is November 13th.

Next board is tomorrow.

You forgot the most important Pro/Con: Does it make your food taste good?

You love making those, don't you?

That's my point. A Coke is a Coke. A Root Beer is a Root Beer. It makes about as much sense as ordering lemonade and getting more specific by asking for Grape Juice.

#1 Zoolander is decent #2 Saving Private Ryan, THE RIGHT STUFF, Magnolia, Black Hawk Down #3 I can understand Pop (sort of), but who says Coke when they want a Root Beer? Alright, now I'm caught up to speed.

That's pretty cool..

Try National Geographic: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html

Wait... what does an overrated movie about climate control have to do with peace?

There will be another board this Friday, I believe. They are hoping to squeeze in five between now and Christmas.

Yeah... that's a quote from the Right Stuff...

You're right- the Army and Marines need it the most right now. However, I don't think China is investing in this kind of military so they can maintain their status as the Walmart of the world.

Just to add onto previous threads about China's military buildup, here's an interesting article from the Weekly Standard: http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/014/209nqlkk.asp

"And as I was sayin', whoever controls the high ground of space controls the world. The Roman Empire controlled the world because it could build roads. Later, the British Empire was dominant because they had ships. In the Air Stage, we were powerful because we had the airplane. And now the...

You know.. I'm not a huge fan of when people say, "It's been a long day." It might have felt long but it wasn't actually longer.

Wow, sorry. Wasn't thinking..
