No.

I travelled back in time...

40 hours a week doing what? What was your position? Was it a leadership role? "and getting some flight hours..." I wouldn't really see that as pertinent, you scheduled your free time as you sought to. This is what people want to hear about. What specifically did you do with the fire...

150 crunches isn't going to do sh!t. If you're PRT training, you need to be doing multiple sets to failure. "doesn't burn like it used to"? Do more.

zarra182, I think you've found all answers you're going to get. I'm closing this thread. If any other mod really wants to re-open it, go ahead. If you have something else to add that isn't related, start a new thread.

Thread's still locked, but to clarify, officers can have tatts. I don't know the specific wording from the Uniform Regs (where it's covered in depth). And yes, I have some, that aren't visible in PT gear.

That would NOT go over well. Don't do it. Two things come to mind: Security Clearance and SERE.

Toss that whole bit about "physical activity". Thanks again = Very Respectfully,

Yeah we're done here.

Send that to the dudes going IA....

never ever ever admit that in anything that could be referenced later...

I stopped there in a 44 to get gas on the way to North Island. Pretty common thing for Corpus types (34, 44, and C-12).

I'm not going to write a long post about TACCOs, but this link isn't bad: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/p-3-crew.htm Focuses on ASW, but TACCOs also coordinate whatever Recon/Surveillance/ASUW/Whatever tasks might be assigned for the mission. You should also...

Hell, I only bought one because I knew I would need one for my current billet (these foreigners love to play dress-up). That said, I have to break it out at least once a month. As far as folks on 'normal' tours, most guys only need theirs for weddings. But, it'll look cool on a wall or...

Here's the story of my sword: I bought it on ebay.

If it doesn't physically disqualify you.

No worries. Post your story, however it turns out, when you come up with a plan.

Cross town, hey, I have no idea regarding that, ask the PNS. I don't buy the cross-commission. I don't see how it's possible without taking the NAVSCI courses and/or a stint at NSI.

The three options you end your post with are what you have to work with. By "specifics" I meant the story you heard about doing AFROTC and commissioning into the USN.

Explain the specifics of the situation you're referring to.

Again, I have NEVER, EVER heard of this happening.

bump 50/50 I have to go again in 3 weeks. Any hotel gouge? Pm me.

If you need a clearance, they'll make it happen. Don't worry.

There's ALWAYS the one bitter guy in the squadron who either didn't get his first choice or "settled" for his family. You have all the platforms to choose from, break down where they're located versus mission versus how happy is the fam. I'm not trying to come down on you or anything...

So find the best compromise. Don't be the guy who picks San Dog helos "for the family" and then bemoans not being Joey Jet Guy the rest of his career.

Dude, pick your platform based on mission. Not where you may be stationed.

Well that's it. Feel free to start another thread on force shaping.

I agree with nittany03. We're all in agreement that Harvey's post was bad. Let it go. On with the discussion.

yawn

You had to be "that guy", didn't you...

New AFC in the works, you guys better get ready for some NATOPS updates.

Someone explain this 3 years business to me...most people I know (from all communities) are getting 6 yrs minimum after wings...what am I missing...

No no no. I was just trying to avoid a threadjack. Let's continue with "The P-8 isn't necessary, let's use UAVs instead", I'm enjoying this...

Tell ya what, in order to avoid another Monday Morning Quarterback session, reference: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10152&highlight=ep-3+osborne before we get into an EP-3 vs Mig discussion. Regarding Vietnam, I know a VP-26 bird was shot down in 1968 by Cambodians...

Third rule of the AOM (or all Pilot's/NFO meeting), the guy/gal with the least credibility on subject will want to blather the most. Not always the FNG, unfortunately.

Take a week off and this is what I get when I return...

Dangit Stubbs, I still want one of those CAC-2 patches. Waggle couldn't get me one. Check your Private Messages.

I think "Fleet" would just about cover all the bases. To include enlisted folks. edit: I think a separate forum for "Sea Stories" is unnecessary. When someone want to post one, it's usually related to an existing topic. If someone wants to post one just to tell the tale, they can post it...

No no no. I'm not slamming you, you're just trying to help. I'm just offerring up opinion on the original pic you've been modifying. Unfortunately, the concept just isn't funny. If you're gonna blow cash on a patch order, make it worth it.

I'm all for morale, esprit, and patches, but that "slow kid in a helmet" thing is just awful.

Replace bag of chips with spit cup or giant cup full of 'spent' sunflower seeds. (I knocked my own spit cup all over my FE's leg about 2 months ago after an FCF. Just trying to explain what chew is to a foreigner is hard enough, much less "that's all spit, mucous, and tobacco" in another...

1. Propstop and NavyVance, one of you guys needs a new avatar. I keep mixing you guys up. 2. I have a Vikings story that will top anyone's. Too bad this is a public forum.

I'll tel you this: using "pweeeseee" isn't going to win you any points.

Somehow I'll guess that's a story better told over a beer, in private, if at all. Back on subject, so the RAG is closed and there's 4 (?) Fleet squadrons left? Supposedly the last will decomm in 2009? I take it they'll be deploying until then, right? (Someone asked me all this stuff the...

Jboomer, that's the Mohawk I was talking about earlier. I actually saw one do a demo with some Vietnam aviation re-enactor organization. Very cool performance. I'm too tired to find the link to their site now. They do a show with the Mohawk, a Cobra, 2 Hueys, and some other stuff. Goober...

Great Mohawk shot. I love ugly airplanes. That's one of my favorites.

Yeah, same-same happened to a buddy of mine (Korean). My main concern would be saying nothing, taking the pay, and then finding out years down the road PSD made a mistake (which we all know never happens) and having them pull a classic "Overpaid? No notice Lump sum Repayment! No soup for you!"

Uh, I dunno. I would talk to PSD ASAP to make sure you're legit. The "critical" languages I know of are stuff like Arabic and Farsi.

Oh I know, just throwing it out there.

Keep in mind VP Reserve is on its last legs.
