and now its off track. the end.

Are you talking about just civilian flying jobs? No one on here is gonna argue the point that the airlines aren't paying d!ck to new guys. And no offense man, but I'd wager even an "average" officer getting out after his commitment has more qualifications on his resume than most civilians...

"Very soon" eh? Maybe you can also tell us when "the Navy will need pilots again". So base an outside career on speculation? Try again man. Not an argument you're gonna win. Edit: Sitting at my desk, thinking this over, I want to clarify. CAN you make ends meet with only 60K and a...

Physicx, if you're talking about guys leaving the mil to fly EMS, the issue at hand is the pay cut. At roughly 70K or more at end of service (depends on a lot, but that's about avg), a lot of people just don't feel like having to start cutting corners. Add to the issue that many of these...

ok, you posted it in one forum, it will get read and responded to. no need to put it in anymore. thanks. locked.

no

uh... yeah I first noticed the chilean flag at a RIMPAC meeting with some of their aircrews. one of my sensor operators was like "what is texas doing here?"... nectarines...when I first read that I thought you wrote "neckties"....HAVE ANOTHER BEER.....TO BILL BRASKY!!!

Oh you'd be suprised how much I rely on gouge in private messages from folks on here, seeing as how I have little admin support...I may be the southernmost Naval Aviator in the western hemisphere. and that gets me...a non-observed FITREP...thanks for playing...at least I have a fat apartment...

The three years I spent as a JO in VP were the best times of my life (so far). Even beating out 4 years in Happy Valley at PSU. (I'm trying to go reserves next, FTS- full time first choice, part time second choice)

My fault man, I just know their stories better than yours. You too :eyebrows_ . Feel the love. I just used a smiley, I will smack myself later.

As someone who's been on the "pointy end" of that spear/knife/spork, there's nothing wrong with using this site and the resources (i.e. other guys who have BTDT, Webmaster, HooverPilot) to find out if you rate. TransvestFO, by "you guys" in "... you guys are all champs..." I'm assuming you...

Just because someone votes for getting out doesn't mean they hate it man. (FYI, I didn't vote, my desire/option isn't on there)

FAIP is alive and well in the AF. Since I haven't seen any bizarre SERGRAD questions on here in a LONG time, I assume there are little to no guys doing that on the USN side of the house these days. At least the FAIPs were cool enough to participate in some fun with their students.

The guy did a good impression, but 17 minutes of it was ridiculous. When it comes to making vids like this, brevity is the key to humor. Remember, most people in aviation have mild ADD. Plus, just seeing that much of a training command made me queasy (single bars, nametags without wings...

how did I get pulled into this? I just stay out of these threads...I don't know anything about it, other than I got in during one of those "we need pilots and you have a pulse" timeframes (suprise suprise). too bad there's no "pilot need barometer" function, with a "pilot need...

I might. TACCO who goes by "Jackass", as in he'd fit right in with those guys. Usually injured and in the process of, or planning to do something dangerous (on deck, solid in the air)...constant instigator of games of "40 Hands". I saw him at the club one night in Kadena. I look at his leg...

Garbage can.

EXCELLENT. F-ing spot-on!

It'll be AAFES. Meaning sh!tty "Anthony's Pizza" and "Robin Hood Subs" furthering the cause of indigestion and crap food even further.

hey look, you might fly jets, you might not, get over it (pre-post aside: George Foreman Grill is the best thing to ever happen to Combat Aircrews) DW Icecream: You theoretically can put a garbage bag with cream, sugar, and flavoring (strawberries, chocolate, parsnips, whatever) in...

Propstop, hurry up and qualify as a PPC so you can tell a story not involving cooking for the crew. (I am impressed though, none of my 3Ps ever cooked like thta for me. Because they HATED me)

aw you wound me...wait...no...that's gas... he's right. but man it's fun to b!tch on the net.

and THAT, ladies and gentlemen is how to make an impression in just 10 posts... Welcome to AirWarriors...the restroom is out of order...

Okay, let me do you a favor, before the entire board gets home from work and jumps down your throat. Please, use the search function and try words like "transition", "helo to jet", etc etc. This subject come sup pretty much once every two months. That said, platform transitions are not...

Tish, please check the thread titles. You're posting a lot of USMC, PLC type stuff in Navy OCS and Navy Officer program areas (STA-21).

To piggyback shorty12, I've sat on a few officer program boards (which if you ever get the chance to do, you should, easy way to give back a little), and one thing that ALWAYS stands out on personal statements is when a guy or gal puts in writing how they would be a great "pilot-nfo-crypto-intel...

Dillingham is just south of some extensive working areas for the ANG, as well as the daily clusterf"ck of skydivers and gliders coming out of there (always fun trying to remember CTAF procedures when playing up there). It could work if they paid off the tourist trap aviation businesses to...

FRS = Fleet Replacement Squadron aka the RAG http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4327

I can smoke at my desk...but then again, I'm doing an exchange tour...all these guys smoke like there's vitamins in there or something. (and yes, I have become the cliche 1970s O-3, khakis, smokes, coffee, and sideburns...)

I've wasted quite a few lonely 24 hour SDOs reading JoetheFat's page...very funny, twisted stuff. Worth checking out.

Get used to it, when was the last time you heard someone drone on and on about how much they want to fly Orions...I'd be pretty suspicious as to his motives...we aren't even bastard children of bastard children...we're more like the Navy's foster kids...fat, ugly, sickly foster kids...hey that'd...

A better question...who is Connie Francis.....ZING

ever seen someone put a "KICK ME" sign on their own back? I guess with all that yoga its possible...

I hear tell A4 has a Benz sitting in a driveway, unused out there, he should do an ebay style auction for use when he isn't there. Or maybe time-share it... On second thought, limos are 150 bucks for all night use out there...might be smarter

My old Skipper already has enough "ideas" about me, I don't need him lurking in there and confirming anything... uh...so..."problems with the site"...uh...how about I'm on here too much...

BAH DUM BUM....our Webmaster ladies and germs...he'll be here FOREVER...tip your waitress (I was on leave in A4's 'other' homeport of Oahu...Webmaster is pretty close to the mark)

... I was gonna retort with a great sea story...but it isn't suitable for this forum...maybe we need a "real deal tales of the sea" forum...nah...

I actually laughed out loud. Nice. Now we await A4's reponse, in bold text, with accompanying pics, hopefully of him test flying Icarus's wings... juuuuuuusssst kiddin!

All my extra flight pay goes to my illegitimate children scattered across 5th and 7th Fleet.... Nah, I'd kick in some cash as well...it's time those kids got jobs anyway...

I dunno, considering my (and most) GWOTEMs were awarded for "ACTUAL COMBAT" to "INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATED IN...THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM FOR SPECIFIED OPERATIONS ON OR AFTER 11 SEPTEMBER 2001", I have a sneaking suspicion the award will carry over. I know I worded the first post poorly...

Webmaster, or anyone else with a GWOT Exped Medal, does this mean if you already have the GWOTEM, you qualify for the GWOTSM?

thread is now officially gay

come on now, there have to be a few suprises...

...I have enough gray hair as it is, don't drive me to start pulling it out...

right. enjoy that JET...oh wait..C-130... whatever. dawg's cheap shot derserved one back.

Well, it must have been 3 months or so already...once again Herc on a flightdeck reappears. Here's the gouge: http://www.theaviationzone.com/factsheets/c130_forrestal.asp or use the search function for "c-130 carrier" on here to review the previous posts.

Some enlisted guy built a flying, RC, 4 engine P-3 YEARS ago. I'll try to find a pic.

ok, I saw the ;) on there. point taken. reagrdless, countermeasures systems are usually add-ons done homeland style. I sincerely doubt any foreign manufacturers are going to install these features.
