so both ep-3 squadrons are gonna be there?

keep in mind you need to start the paperwork on that as soon as possible in your first sea tour. that said, most skippers won't even look at/consider it unless you are completely qualified in your current aircraft and are the #1 guy. so if you really really wannit, qualify early i also had...

uh right, i'm sure it is... save your money and don't bring it

i dont think anyone even knows what cognamine is

All doctors and medical personnel working with/for Marines are USN (medical corps, corpsmen, etc). Maybe he became a doctor later in life.

hey old balls Webmaster you had me all kinds of confused...what the hell is the Armed Forces Service Medal...man you are OLD if you have one of those...I've never even seen one...ok ok I KEED. Seriously though, I thought you meant the Armed Forces Exped Medal, which I think we all have by now...

nope. see above.

ok ok, i got it to work, "re-start" is a strange and wonderful thing. Glad I bought one of them GWOTEMs when they came out and stashed it. My guess is the exchange is gonna sell out quick from the length of that list.

is that link working for anyone? if it is, can ya copy/paste the eligible list on here?

oh, and anybody got a link for a USN "ribbon checker" program that actually has this thing? I have no clue what it is ahead/behind.

nice...3 yrs later...too bad that link locks my pc up worse than most of the "profesional reading" I download. Webmaster, any way you could post the list, or is it ridiculously huge? Maybe just the aviation commands?

I dunno, the last I heard, which was last spring mind you, was the proposal for one less squadron per site, and pull some planes from the reserves, but I am so far out of the loop it isn't funny. CDR...uh....at this rate I'll be lucky to screen for DH. Let's just say I'm not counting on it...

Main Entry: 1tri·ton Pronunciation: 'trI-t&n Function: noun Etymology: Latin, from Greek TritOn 1 capitalized : a son of Poseidon described as a demigod of the sea with the lower part of his body like that of a fish 2 [New Latin, genus name, from Latin Triton] : any of various large marine...

considering they're gonna need new pilots until at least 2009-2011, I'd say shutting down the pipeline permanently is purely rumor. They aren't just gonna let guys stay in squadrons until MMA comes along (but man, what a great deal that would be...'super-j.o., crazy A Time, perdiem ou the...

Atlas just sounds like a name better suited for either a heavy lift aircraft or maybe an AEW or TACAMO type plane.

shutting it down for how long? reasons? kind of a broad question. they have shut down before, I selected maritime basically the week the pipeline opened back up after a 6 month gap years ago.

the Baht part isn't....heh...

While I like 'Atlas', it isn't quite "Maritime-ASW-Salty Yankee Air Pirate of the Sea Lanes-Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr" enough for the brass. They want something that has some kind of connotation with ASW, since that is the prmary way we justify our existence (all the other stuff we can do is cool, but...

looks fat and dumb.... "trojan".....uh, NO

FYI, "of gold" means the color. The exchange isn't selling wings for 8 bucks (or whatever they cost these days) made from any precious metal. You can go with the exchange specials, or buy a set of real-deal gold. Or, as I've stated in another thread, you can get the exchange ones dipped in...

OK all you Threeps and Nav-Bags...bookmark this site: http://www.choxnpinz.com/141starlifter/boxnasties/box.html ah the memories...

What would, actually bailing out or the "practice runs". It was usually a good sign on your checkrides, 9 times out of 10 meant all you had left was your low work.

well, then it'd be a legacy name, since the original Neptune was the P-2 man i sincerely hope they DO NOT call it Orion II, I think Boeing will want to avoid that anyway, too much of a Lockheed connotation

Hell yeah, excellent play by play on the hot engine + oil equation. Plus a good incentive to REALLY check your SV2. What coast cooley?

yeah I wish...no way I'll ever get to fly one of those...rage.... "Poseidon" ALMOST sounds cool...but then I get images of "The Poseidon Adventure", ernest borgnine and all.. somewhere I heard "Trident", but that name's taken...

I suspected as much. As much fun as finding your way to Hickam AFB ramps from Honolulu INTL's runways... thanks for the amplifying info contrail

I wasn't there. I don't know all the circumstances. What was their mission? Tactical Hop? Were they ordered to divert? Re-tasked in flight? I don't know, I wasn't there. Therefore, I'll refrain from Monday morning quarterbacking 4 guys in a plane I have never flown.

That's a bold statement for someone who doesn't know all the facts.

Yup, that's him. ALWAYS a pleasure...

....DING...ding....ding.... oh look, someone dropped a dime...

Don't forget it also counts as credit hours toward that all important "Military Science" minor. "What the hell is 'Military Science'?" "Uh....I went to ROTC lab...."

the microsims are off limits? what happened, did one of you guys spill a Slurpee on the consoles?

drunken ideas from deployment you too can own a foam hot dog suit for 50 dollars they also make banana suits don't ask how I know...

Remember the first week of college? Parties...girls...first day of class...INTERNET CONNECTION....

Bullsh!t. Run a ditch drill in NATOPS scenario on a checkride.

MPG with a Combat V and Aviation club with Strike Award....

Nothing in combat arms, from what i understand. Mostly they want people who already have technical skills in something that transfers over. The enlisted side is really who they are courting. EX, Gunner's Mates can go to Artillery, Corpsmen to Medic, Boatswain's Mates to the Warrant small boat...

I heard in from a guy I know in A-Pool that they weigh how hard your NROTC freshman indoc was and then it counts for 10% of your NSS. :icon_king juuuuuuuuust kiddin

You realize that flying jobs for commissioned officers in the Army are pretty much nil. Those guys fly the bare minimum to stay legally current and for the most part leave the air ops to their warrants. I knew 3 guys in primary and one in the FRS, all jumped to the Navy because they were tired...

Aren't you in Primary?

That hat bit cracks me up. And I never, ever wear any kind of hat if I can help it. My hair is WAY too cool. I fight it every time they make me put a helmet on in the plane. My mane was meant to flow with the breeze of my face gasper... Holy crap, you're gonna hit 1000 posts....it's...

A USMC C-130 buddy just emailed me this. I read it maybe 2 yrs ago on "The Onion". I Am The "Top Gun" Of Commercial Airline Pilots I've been piloting DCs and 7s for American Airlines going on 15 years now, and I don't mind telling you, I'm the best there is. The Navy's flight...

what about your "housemate" Tango1, I bet he'd LOVE to go...

lets not get back into that (bull)sh!t-storm http://www.theaviationzone.com/factsheets/c130_forrestal.asp very very cool

....laughing so hard I have TEARS in my eyes.... no (officially sanctioned) booze on USN ships (and for the 'been there' types, I'm not gonna bother explaining the 2-beers-every-however-many-days thing)

ya know, I'm already knee deep in this argument at Check 6, but this is better than studying.... My analogy to things like this is, how many great landings do you remember? Probably not many, but most pilots do remember their all time greatest prangs. Unfortunately, these are the things...

SAC= systems accuracy check done by navigators on P-3s as a reference to check the postional gear. "Flight, Nav" "Go Nav" "Can I get a SAC check" endless humor abounds

I drove past the Thai carrier once, I had no idea they had one, and was stupid enough to ask my RTN liason "who else is in town?" Nothing like making an ass of yourself in a foreign country, sober, the first day there...
