    South America Trip

    The told me they were "bomberos", firefighers. If the Chilean Navy actually flew those I'd be kissing a$s left and right to get into one. I'm settling for my 1962 classic. I know, it blew my mind as well, seeing one that actual flies. I walked around it a little, the waist bubbles were...

    South America Trip

    Flew a P-3ACH to the tip of South America last week. About as cold as I've been in a long time (sice Misawa, maybe). Went to Punta Arrenas and Puerto Williams, two small navy towns. Not a lot there, but beautiful scenery. Here's some shots of the Andes, Tierra del Fuego, and the general...

    Recent College Grad wanting to become a pilot

    5'5" and a buck-ninety? Better get back into shape before applying. Being out of height/weight standards and a crap PRT score isn't going to help your application. Based on your stats, I wouldn't quit my day job. Literally. Especially with a second, maybe third mouth to feed.

    Where can I buy patches online?

    Man, seriously, just yahoo or google "Military Patches". That said, you're still in the program. Are you just looking to collect, or to wear? Wearing patches you had nothing to do with is lame. Now, if you find an obscure non-military patch that you can wear and get away with, by all...

    What I've Learned in Flight Training

    det= Fleetspeak for detachment. Leave your homebase, with aircraft, and hopefully some cool buds (friends, not the Spicoli kind) to go to another base/airfield/location for some kind of event (training, airshow, exercise...). Get payed a daily allowance for living expenses (hotel and food, or...

    Jesus dude, he's a Marine, pay attention. BTW, on the Navy side, it would entirely appropriate to wear medals. It's a COMMISSIONING.

    Gun Question

    Yeah, who knows, the guys I knew with the Berettas were VP, HSL, and a random VF I knew. A better question is, "who gives a sh1t?". Whatever you end up carrying, you'll learn how to use it and stow it safely. As far as the original question from Kip, your family is asking what sidearm...

    Shore Tour Options?

    Jesus Christ, will this die already??? STATESIDE C-12s are going to the Reserves. OVERSEAS there will still be a need for station aircraft and experienced guys to haul them around.

    Gun Question

    Some squadrons have acquired and are issuing Sigs...very few... 90% of the Fleet guys I've seen carrying had the standard Beretta. I'd count on being issued that.

    Do any of you guys know how or if it is even possible for me to lateral transfer to being a cake? I heard that like 5 guys a year get selected to re-deisgnate as cakes. You have to have a degree in culinary arts or hospitality (Bach of Science, of course). Personally, I would love to go...

    What's the weirdest thing you've seen in the Military?

    Good chance your boys were linguists. I knew an Air Force instructor at Defense Language Institute who had earned his dolphins on some kind of detachment. I admit I was skeptical until I stopped by his office and saw the pics. Weird stuff: Army (LTCOL, I believe) doctor, prior SEAL with...

    Flight of the Intruder

    BRETT! Go to the video store and rent "Boondock Saints". Like, RIGHT NOW. Ridiculously good shoot-em-up about 2 Irish hooligans as vigilantes in Boston. Dafoe plays a (gay) FBI agent and is pretty damn scary. You won't regret it.
