"When in doubt, wear your bag!!!" Uh, except in town for lunch. Definitely do not do that. Not that I would know anything about that or anything. (cough, cough)

"Hey LTJG Nugget, you aren't scheduled today. Go over to TSC. The reservists are here and they can't remember how to do crypto." "Hey LTJG Nugget, you aren't scheduled today. We need you to start the APU and open the comm box and sit on XXX while the FOs and 'Trons troubleshoot." "Hey...

Attention to detail and initiative like that is going to get you drive-by tasked by an observant O-4 in the fleet if you aren't careful. Remember: play dumb and appear mediocre, that way when you do good, everyone is pleasantly suprised and you come out looking "not as bad as everyone thought"...

"I graduated OCS back in July, and the more time that passes, the more upset I get at how OCS did not distinguish between the officer candidate enviornment and the real world. A simple example is that at OCS you are required to wear shirt stays, tuck in shoe laces, etc. It wasn't until after I...

I'm in the process of packing for yet another PCS and just so happens this thread was resurrected as I'm sorting my bookshelves. I have a ridiculously short attention span, so my recommendations are especially good for the typical ADD aviator: 1. The Wild Blue : The Men and Boys Who Flew...

Ah, ok. Are they gonna wing guys out of C-12's and send em to MV-22 land? Have them do some kind of HT syllabus? Anyone? Hello? (btw, thanks for the repsonse bluesmobile)

HOOPS. last I heard they finally closed it down. i don't understand why, I mean, who wouldn't pay 6-7 bucks for a beer... problem with that place was the same guy owned 'the Palace' and thought he could get away with strip club drink prices.

first of all, HOOVERPILOT, the only place you EVER wanted to eat at was the d*mn Outback on SPID to ogle underage hostesses... if it's still there, VIETNAM (that's what the sign said) on SPID was awesome, guess what kind of food they had.... Oh and by the way, for all you folks new to...

Anyone IN ADVANCED know what services are being trained at 35 right now. I know USN and USAF, what about Coasties and Marines?

No. You attend SERE after winging. Sometimes before the FRS, sometimes after.

Not to mention THAT one was 4 engine out, dead stick, AMAZING. A side note, NATOPS only outlines procedures for 4 and 3 engine ditches...bottom line is everyone made it back alive. F-14s...hm.....anyone know what the current status is of the Iranian F-14 force? (again re-railing thread)

I deleted it. I didn't know this one was on here as well. In the other set of posts, some gouge/info was being posted that really didnt need to be there. In the sense of fairness, and the time honored tradtion of C.Y.A., I opted to pull anything that could be deemed an opsec issue. I locked...

my friend, that's exactly what it is I NEED A NURSE! STAT!

(Vadar voice) "you cannot escape the power of THE DARK SIDE" hey Varmit, check out my profile pic, you'll appreciate it.

yeah yous guys keep saying "p-3" took out the chinese guy. tell an ep-3 guy he flies p-3s and watch his head spin 360. actually, say the same thing to me, and my head spins too, but then I puke at the thought. I KEED I KEED, i love those ep-3 guys...they are reelee great... (Best of...

at least he got rid of that damn missile being launched from a (bleah) ship. slowly he is learning. by next month I expect a P-3 overland shot...as far from the 'real' navy as possible.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we are NOT getting into this one again 1. read this: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6574&highlight=ep-3 2. then do a search on "p-3 ep-3" here on the site 3. still have questions? post 'em

...agreed...

ok, no matter what, in the program the whiz wheel comes in handy when flight planning, which Road is gonna be doing plenty of as an SNFO. Some guys use the whiz wheel in flight, some guys had the equations on their kneeboards and plugged the numbers into a small calculator in the plane, and...

'rite of passage'...yeah...I think the SWOs have had plenty of those. as have the FOs goin for Pilot. whatever.

IN THEIR DEFENSE...I have an HSL buddy who got an AM for flying around the NAG. He admits that he feels like a Chachi wearing one. I do think walking around with one w/o a 'V' and playing it up like a DFC or something is bogus. From what I've read, the original intent was to give flyers...

My point was, unrestricted guys with pins having to wait is a raw deal.

Do you realize how many drunken nights I have vowed to buy a T-44A from the Nav when they finally sell em, rip the cabin door off, sling a 60 in there with bungee cords, and disappear into some 3rd world, never to return? Taking applications for co-pilot now! Send resumes!

Well, not being a smartass, but you have to go to the FRS after T-44s...that's beside the point. Latest word is that all Rota EP-3 activity is moving to Whidbey. They'll have concrete info for you when you fill out your location dream sheet. The base itself isn't scheduled to close for a...

are these stashed O-2 and O-3s warfare qualified?

"Shore tour: My wife and I love the Annapolis/DC/Baltimore area (that's where we met) so I want to do my shore tour at the Academy. My weapons class instructor was a P-3 pilot on his first shore tour, and in fact he was the first person I ever talked to who made me realize that P-3s CAN be a...

if that stuff bothers you, have a great time in the fleet...but they make a drink just for you!

Fly Navy, I feel your pain, my kick ass friday in monterey is consisting of a 6 dollar burger from carl's jr, a pack of smokes, and a sixer of Bud tall boys (it's ok, I had subway for lunch). right now I am paying for 2 yrs of Duke's on Sundays in Waikiki. look at it this way, you're...

tie your pencil/pen/crayon to a string around your wrist/neck/kneeboard/whatever. figure out you cockpit set-up (1 kneeboard or 2? where are you going to put the approach plate? on the clamp? on your knee?) ahead of time and get used to it. don't try to wing it in the plane (ugh NON...

yeah, call for "Flight Level" on anything below 18K, or check in with control using "angels ---" and standby to be put on the controller's as$clown list. especially overseas.

Well, as far as 'in until you retire', take it one step at a time man...think wings right now. I'd do it again, and I'm most likely getting out. ah Pattaya....

I know this is in an NFO thread, but just a note, non-flying first shore tour billets for pilots are not really considered career killers. There ARE billets that are considered career enhancing (FRS instructor, NPS for grad degrees), but taking a hard fill desk job won't necessarily end your...

WEBMASTER....we need new blood in this thread! You MUST have some comments! i am bored

I hear ya man. We are all very very very small cogs in a large machine. Most of the questions you are asking are relevant, but WAY beyond the level of those of us on this website. Pontificating (ooo big word) on these things will only give you a headache. My advice is ignore the rumors, give...

DISCLAIMER: i have been out of my first fleet squadron for almost 6 months and am not "in the loop", plus I have deep fried my brain this morning with preterite verb tenses, but... "I am here in advanced and (anyone else here with me can vouch for this) rumors are flying around here that...

remember, i am not a scientist

she means 'soft winging'. some squadrons let their guys wear their flightsuit nametag wings after they finish the program while they sit and wait for their actual winging date. they get the 'hard wings' at the actual ceremony. cool tradition.

do you mean the kids here at DLI? If so, you hit it on the head. I pity the poor EP-3 types that have to fly with these people. I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall when some of them get to Aircrew school. "But I speak chinese" "Great...get back in the pool." back to the Whidbey...

When I went through SERE there was one SEAL on the staff, and he was the corpsman (medic). The staff is NOT all Spec Ops guys or guys who failed out of that type of training (typical rumor students hear). Injuries will/do occur, but they aren't trying to seriously damage students there. The...
