Since you'll probably be flying from Cecil Field for pretty much all of FY 2014 (assuming Congress doesn't melt down) I'd look to live on the west side of the river if there is a chance you won't be staying in Jax following your RAG time. If you stay at Jax, staying north of the base will...

You mean this Murtha...????

Real aircraft can fold the wings and the ass!

If the minimum wasn't good enough, it wouldn't be the minimum!

In the early 80's John Lehman elevated the position of CAG to O-6 and was called "Super CAG". It allows for wider pool to select for Flag Officers since you had two Aviators competing against each other for promotion (along with other O-6's in the CSG).

My last deployment ( for the record it was a USNS ship) we wore green cargo shorts, Squadron T-shirts, and boots. Unfortunately, we couldn't get pith helmets!

What I told my JO's was that they needed to write their FitRep so they could learn how to do it. Someday that JO will be a Department Head and will have to write/chop FitReps for the JO's and if it wasn't for writing my own FitRep, then I would never have done one before I was a DH.

So who was the target, the North Vietnamese or the French? Both COAs seem probable...

Maybe someone entered Federal Witness Protection?

Trad =/= tread. Freaking IPad and autocorrect..... Damn you Steve Jobs!!!

Can you imagine how many endorsements there would be an OPREP for a lost nuke? We lost an exercise torpedo on a range, had audio of tape of the torp running and then imploding and we still had to do an OPREP-3. Of course it could be worse... Imagine being the duty officer when your squadron...

It could be as simple as "how long can you trad water"?

We probably bought our B's from the Army... Who was trying not to giggle at us when we paid for them!!

BZB, Naval Aviator #12.

To see who's in the 7%. Are they Flight Students or winged Aviators/NFOs? Are thye trying to giveout bad gouge to see if someone will actually follow that gouge. It was close to 50/50 I wouldn't care, but since it's so one-sided, I am very curious as to who has the opinion that a SWO sweater...

The Joint Travel Regs have this detail: C. POC 1. TDY. Generally, 1 travel day is allowed for each 400 miles of official distance of ordered travel. If the excess distance is 1 or more miles after dividing the total official distance by 400, one additional travel day is allowed. When the total...

Can one of the Mods determined who voted "NO" on this poll? If a New York paper can name everyone who has a pistol permit, then we should be able to name everyone who things a SWO sweater and brown shoes is a good idea....

They could be way behind in PTR and are looking at the weather in Whiting for a couple of months which will limit flying hours at NASWF. Going to Jax is pretty reasonable. Most of your maintenance and parts support are 5 hours away by truck and you can use Whitehouse for free and you won't be...

Base out of Cecil, use the MOAs and Warning areas for PA and Forms, and use OLF Whitehouse for solos. Of course, what do I know, I'm not at Whiting...

Your mileage is based on a mapquest route from your departure location to Newport. If you go out of the way to see something cool, you will not get reimbursed for your mileage. Keep receipts for hotels and tolls. These are reimbursable expenses. Make sure you ask the hotel for the gov't rate...

How can you say that about BZB??? ;)

You know it's a bad day when you're a stranded swimmer and the rescue helo crashes enroute to save you.. I must say, it was a good ditch!

I had a squadronmate who didn't make HAC in 24 months. Rather than facing FNAEB he resigned his wings (he was not going to pass the HAC board and the CO didn't trust him to take an aircraft and crew on his own). He stayed in and switched over to UAV's and progressed. Last time I checked he...

About 10 years ago, DAPS tried to mandate that they would not print NATOPS manuals anymore. The "staff" there tried to argue that there is not a need for hard copy pubs so they would just issue the NFM on CDs They we showed them page 2 of the H-60 NFM which states "a copy of this manual shall...

Just finished Twilight Warriors. It's about the Battle of Okinawa and the impact the Kamikazes had on the fleet. I downloaded off the NKO website where you can find the CNO's reading list. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0767932420 I highly recommend it!

My info is dated, but the bottom of a flight school class coukd get UAVs as their assignment.

Before you go and bad-mouth the Poly-wool khakis, let me tell you about Certified Navy Twill or CNT's.... Dry clean only and 100% polyester!!!

If you come to NIP, I have an up chit and current Av/Phys.... just sayin'

We did a H&F at Dick's Last Resort. The atmosphere kept the proceedings in the appropriate light. Parking is a pain since it's down town, but it was a great time.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Now, put down your beer, it's now prohibited for all military personnel everywhere in the world. I think I saw you check out a female once; she may be married, so you obviously are an adulterer. You better report for mandatory 6 hour...

But that is standard fare for the typical JMO student the night before papers are due.... Pags, don't be glaring at me, I'm not in Newport anymore. Unless you're taking JMO through CDE in Jax... then you can be glaring at me.

Are they more or less dangerous than the average flight student trying to kill you?

The Brits did the dry stoarge route for HMS VICTORY. They built a dry dock, then sealed it up after she was in position.

And on that rare occasion when it snows.... Call your XO and ask for emergency leave since you don't want to risk you life on I-64 when there's snow on the ground!!!

Forrestal departed: http://www2.turnto10.com/news/2010/jun/15/supercarrier_moved_from_newport-ar-108924/ Sara is still there. She's a test bed for new hull paints, so she looks a bit like the dazzle pattern ships of WWII.

I do remember that event being discussed amongst the IP's!!

It's OK to wear a SWO sweater as long as you are sporting black shoes at the time...

I was on the computer for 76 hours straight once... then I finally got through to to an NMCI help desk represenative...

Ironically, when I joined the Navy, two of these three were frowned upon. Now, there are still two frowned upon, but it's a different two....

The Navy will pay your hotel bill, plus mileage plus a daily rate for food and incidentals. Staying in the hotel means the Navy doesn't pay that bill. When all is said and done, you will not save money by not staying in a hotel. The Navy will reimburse you for the room. If you stay in your...

You realize you make too much sense... you will have to be executed immediately... we can't allow your thinking to populate the masses!!!

He's aircrew! ;)

I have Keen hiking shoes and love'em! http://www.keenfootwear.com/us/en/wall/shoes/men/trailhead

Of course Sweeden has indigineous aircraft production and it loks like they are selling to their neighbors. http://www.saabgroup.com/Air/Gripen-Fighter-System/

Lie to me, tell me it rained, all the casinos were closed and there was nothing to do....

I like the discussion at the end, who was the last man to walk on the moon? Gene Cernan, says it was him since he go in last, therefore he was the last person to have walked on the moon. Harrison Schmidt says it was him since he was the last to reach the moon's surface, therefore he was the...

You can't pick on our Task Force Uniform, only WE (Navy) can pick on Task Force Uniform. You can only make fun of the Navy as a whole for the stupidity that results from Task Force Uniform! Afterall, if the Marines didn't decide to go their own way with MARPAT, then we'd all be in BDUs and...
