I'm also gonna support Trudeau's effort here. While I don't agree with his politics, the BD storyline has been really well done. Sometimes he p!sses me off, sometimes he makes me laugh, sometimes he makes me think. It's the only comic strip I read daily now that we've lost Calvin and that...

Don't blame me for some other site's gouge supply. there's a whole message board to search over there and I know they have T-37 gouge links. Good luck.

Alright, I'm late to the game (sims suck), but I'll open my suck and offer this: I've seen WAY too many guys attrite/DOR/fee-nab/not qualify, etc etc etc due to the stress of a bad relationship. I'm not going to say it's because "women suck", but they were all guys...so the other player...

That would make a long, but fvcking funny patch. So what happened Road?

Have your husband look into the possibilty of transfering to a sister squadron at the same location. I saw 2 guys in the same situation come to my squadron for similar reasons. Basically the Wing decided to give them each one last shot. One guy just couldn't get the big picture, he is now a...

Sorry I was "indisposed". Voluntary terminate. With a family and factors affecting more than the pilot in question (kids?), this would be the smart move. My sympathies, I've seen this happen before and it's a necessary option that still kind of sucks all around.

heh heh, HUD envy.... (I'm not making fun....I don't even GET a HUD...)

Out of curiositry, what kind of pilot is this friend and what's his-her professionalñ experience?

How is blade angle changed? Hydraulic fluid or is it the new servo-style electronic control? "More-than-four" composite blades were proposed by Lockhed for their Orion 2000 (or whatever, they lost anyway). One of the explanations I'd heard regarding was weight reduction, which had the added...

I think someone locked it since it pretty much derailed completely. If you have a new question, post it. God knows we could use some threads actually pertaining to Naval Aviation.

Not all P-3s use "steam gauges" for instruments. Every squadron has a few birds with Electronic Flight Display Systems. Keep in mind not all T-44 guys are going P-3s anyway. edit: here's a pic, featuring yours truly, sort of. I bet Machine has a better one, but until he (or someone else)...

Hoov, I was just done with Intermediates when one of those guys was finishing Primary in 27 with me. I talked to him one day. Way he told it, he was at some hoity-toity (did I spell that right?) dinner and started chatting with some big-wig from CNATRA and mentioned his dream to qualify as an...

Since no one has said it yet, I will. STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. You know what you can and can't do. I saw too many great Sailors have their hopes of a commission destroyed thanks to careless behavior, on duty and off. Don't sabotage yourself.

Shampoo is better, I go on first and CLEAN the hair! Conditioner is better! I make the hair silky and smooth! Stop looking at me swan.

Yeah, I have no desire to do anything military related. But thanks.

Guys guys guys, it's been said on here before and I'll say it again. Do at least ONE deployment while still single. elroy, you've made your decision, and this wasn't aimed at you, good luck.

Great gouge. Gracias! Now I need to find a sweet striped shirt! that's a joke.

I'm going to Washington, D.C. next month. I've never been there with an opportunity to bar hop. Any suggestions? Any places to avoid?

Ladies and Gentlemen...THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE....

No no no, more like "...but some of my best friends are gay" ZING wait....did I just zing myself? crap...

NOB = Not Observed. Meaning you aren't ranked against other officers on your FITREP. Normally because you're the only officer there. Kind of silly to rank a guy number one of a field of one. (explained in layman's terms) DH = Department Head

Venom, you're also in a position to ask all of the instructors and staff at Schools Command for face to face input. They're there to help.

What IS the deal with that place? I walked in there last October, in khakis, O-3, wings, 4 rows of ribbons, and have 3 enlisted Marines look straight at me and continue to dick around. Negative Corporal. After "speaking to them", I just felt kind of sick that I even had to do it to begin...

About 3 weeks ago there was an article in Navy Times outling the Navy's stance that no NROTC graduates will be cross-commissioning. If I remember correctly, AFROTC offered 40-some slots to cadets to go green (only 5 bit off on it). Apparently some of the powers that be in the Army were under...

Wrote in chalk on a blackboard or used huge posterboard placards. Which equals 0700-1600 for twice as long. Count your blessings.

From the start page: "ABOUT AIRWARRIORS Airwarriors is site dedicated to the discussion of Naval Aviation, and steps to become an Officer in the U.S. military. The forum has grown to encompass many more subjects..." I pulled it. I'm sure there's a forum out there for "Hot Dog vs...

Fvckin' A. I'm not gonna reach for some BS microbrew or stoudt when I want to sit down and pound Billy Madison style. "If you don't like it you can go to Russia" - Homer Simpson I need to get stateside ASAP. Agree with Shnug on the coming ban of alcohol on flights. One more major...

Yeah, unfortunately. There's no way the mil is gonna give a guy a deal this good (language training, flying, extra $$$, "on-your-own" type billet) without some kind of BOHICA. But let's face it, I'm not exactly "a straight shooter with middle management written all over". Side note: VTs...

Air's getting out...you aren't getting a tight seal around the base...you need to put some gum around there or something.

"The Man" does watch this site and will take action against the Administrators if it so pleases him.

Avatar = Slater from "Dazed and Confused". Tell me you've seen it, or just lie to me so I don't feel old. I'll also use this opportunity to slam "Officer and a Gentleman". SUCKED. "I GOT NO PLACE LEFT TO GO!" Everytime I see that scene I pray Louis Gosset JR will cold-cock gerbil boy...

Like 90% of his movies, Willem Dafoe carries Flight of the Intruder (although I have my doubts about his role in the new "XXX" movie with...Ice Cube...as a SEAL...wtfo). All you double anchor types should strive to be as badass as Cole-Virgil-Cole. The liberty scenes alone make FOTI...

oh there ARE folks who call their mil spouses DH as in dept head...makes me want to vomit. real estate...something....sorry...

bum gouge

Even with the constant ragging on the Navy ("rustpicker"...I love that), "The Great Santini" kicks a lot of a$s (even better book, btw). So many great lines, "up and at 'em HOGS", "rise and shine split tail", and the best: "You're my favorite daughter"...no doubt I'll tell my son that some...

"Navy "E' Award Ribbon: Ridiculous! Eliminate. Paint it on the stack. (And why did this ribbon have to look so much like the Purple Heart? Those gold and white flank stripes are impossible to see at a glance.)" Not too sure about the ratonale on this one. Good intention, for the most...

hey Primary guys, do they still call it an NSS with the new system? Just curious.

yeah I heard those guys only do 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks every summer. :icon_wink

Or the classic Intel Guy who draws flight pay via sandbagging. Gag.

After seeing midget kickboxing and the guys fighting the cobras in thailand, I thought I'd seen it all. I was wrong.

Seriously dude, pointed, specific questions will get you more answers.

8 posts and this hasn't devolved into an interservice p!ssing match. I'm impressed.

I'm sure he means Bill Tinsley. That guy flew EVERYTHING. Or at least it seemed that way. One of the few retired guys working there that really enjoyed teaching SNAs.

Ya know...the Webmaster is going to a new squadron soon...

quite possibly the BEST avatar EVER

I can assure you, no security investigator (a) is going to ask, or (b) gives a sh!t about asthma.

WTF does asthma have to do with a clearance interview?
