Fleming Island. I would move back there in a heartbeat!

I just bit the bullet and paid them off for the early termination. I had to get a new phone due to my blackberry losing parts (they just fell off) and I didn't want to buy a 5th one from them. So it was pay them off and go get an iPhone!

Over a month with the iPhone and it still rocks...

Sorry to bring the bad news, but reading the info located on the NPC website here for the FY '05 bonus it states: . Any officer on a long-term ACCP contract whose five-year obligation expires during their DH tour will serve until PRD. So, if your bonus obligation expires before the end...

Thanks for putting this out there. FI.com argues too much for me to participate so I brought over here for a look at from those I know & trust!

Ok, I saw this on another site and would like to see if anyone else see's any holes in the basic data... It was done by an AF guy, but the pay and bonus are the same. The idea is that it is a comparison of staying to retirement as an O-4, Staying to retirement as an O-5 or getting out at the...

Yes it's worth it, Every second of it...

We have that bird @ VRC-40 now. I flew the acceptance "A" profile on it. It was only the 2nd flight since it landed gear up. Flew like a dream. The rebuild crew got it right. Of course, I was supposed to be a pax on that bird when it landed gear up, but got switched to the other one during...

Starting to make the news again. How long till a fix is identified? http://www.charter.net/news/news_reader.php?storyid=14268999&feedid=248

Once again, I offer this site: http://www.navalaviator.net I have used this for several years now and I love it. I know many others who use it too. It's designed for the Naval Aviator and will do many calculations for you.

I'm in week 2 with the iPhone. it's awesome. Of course I have no idea about AT&T coverage in Kingsville though.

I second the L-1011. A most amazing aircraft in it's time.

I have no idea. The idea of a TS/SCI for COD's seems pretty stupid, until you see some of the stuff that we do for planning purposes. As for actual TS stuff, very very limited. You could probably do just fine without it.

not so fast fuzzy britches! COD guys have TS/SCI (SSBI) clearances too!

The capability of operating with SEALs has been a core VRC mission area for quite some time. The Navy deems it valuable to have the capability to deploy the SEALs from a sea based assett (CVN). No other fixed wing platform has that capability. Of course in the recent past SEALs don't embark...

I don't think that in this day and age that this would be feasible. Money is too tight. Yes, the Navy did it with Miss Piggy, but there wasn't the budget pressures then that we have today.

Here you go. LSO Ref Manual, Appendix A, Pg A-6.

Miss Piggy doesn't have the capacity for the volume or gross weight that the COD transports. COD takes up to 26 pax, Miss Piggy 4 (I think). COD can also carry up to 8400lbs of cargo, more than those blivets can carry. (I've flown with those blivets, nice but not high enough gross). The...

NOT the right answer for the COD replacement. The Navy recently completed the Analysis of Options for the C-2 replacement and the V-22 was not the right answer. Unpressurized, incompatible with cyclic ops, CVN flight deck mods required, etc all added up to the airframe being at best an 80%...

Ok, I wasn't trying to get the p*ssing contest started about the pros/cons of this, I read the other boards too. I thought that since it is now law, we could discuss the impact on the current Naval Aviator and the short/long term effect on the airline industry from the pilot perspective. I...

The president signed the age 65 legislation into law and it went into effect yesterday. How do the "seasoned" membership see this impacting the industry? I think that hiring will stagnate for several years as a result and I am thrilled that I snagged the bonus last year partially out of...

I took the deal last year. Looks to be a good decision for me with the age 65 law just enacted...

As a COD guy myself, I elevate the mail priority whenever possible. I was deployed last Christmas and had no problem bumping low pri cargo off a flight to get more mail (presents) to the boat on time. Ken is right about the priorities above, but a COD guy takes a lot of pride in delivering...

I'll gladly ship it off to Tailhook for you. I'm in transit back to the states (via a bunch of stops) so I won't be able to do it for about 2 weeks... But then I will gladly do it!

OCS will provide with everything you need to wear. Having something like that on will only highlight yourself and put you in the DI's sites. At a place like OCS uniformity is good. Blending in is good.

C'mon man, think about it - Camera's aren't allowed in the movie theater. It would spoil the movie!

I just completed the online form last month for a periodic re-investigation. It's called e-quip or something like that. Here is the amazing part, ONLY 5 weeks later, investigators were knocking on my neighbors doors doing the job! I guess the backlog is down...

Absolutely overpriced - but we had a great turkey dinner as a group. Only place in town to get that I think. We were seated upstairs this time so no guitar players, But I know the duo you mean.

I'm in Bahrain for the second Thanksgiving in a row, but thanks to Ric's Kountry Kitchen, I'm stuffed. even though I'm deployed, I am still Thankful for the service of those around me. When I was on the ship today I was able to grab 2 plates of turkey & fixin's from the dirty shirt for my...

As an example, my time on the eliptical today was 40 minutes. My Polar HRM had me burning 634 calories, but the machine had me 714. I guess not "wildly innacurate" but not exactly close either. For someone chasing a dieting goal, that could be the subtle sabotage that prevents them from...

Here is a good resource. The site has links to all the PRT info you could ever want: http://www.navy-prt.com/ Handy PRT Calculator (Not for official use) http://www.navy-prt.com/navyprtcalculator.html

I have a Polar Heart Rate monitor and I have compared it to the display on the equipment (when not using the HRM). The readouts for heart rate are actually quite accurate, it is the calories burned that is wildly innacurate.

I don't think this passes the health test...

Allright - my recipe from serving time in Bahrain...Takes about 10 minutes to prepare. Camel Crap. 2 Pieces Breaded Chicken Tenderloins (Pilgrims Pride precooked) 1/2 Cup Barilla Mushroom & Garlic Sauce 2 Tbsp Tostito's Mild or Hot Salsa 1 Chopped Tomato 1 Cup cooked whole grain brown...

Not the combo I though would happen, but interesting. I wouldn't get your stand-by tickets ready yet loadtoad, it is just an investors proposal at this stage. Long ways to go before that...

Wink - In the LANT VS community we still did STBY-STBY-DROP! There were a few that did the NOW, Now, Now - but they were lesser for it. :)

Amen... I'm deployed right now and have been working hard on getting into better shape. I'm down 27lbs in just over 40 days and it's not from starvation. It's from a LOT of hard work. A friend gave me a copy of Eating for Life and Body for Life and it seems to work for me and several...

Another vote for the JOP. I did it towards the end of flight school. After a long discussion with the preacher, he agreed to officiate the secret ceremony. Just remember that when you register the marriage at the courthouse to ask that they withold your name from the papers! My wife's Mom...

Count me in as a signatory!

:eek: NO EF'EN WAY JERK!

It may be an old thread, but you gotta give her props for doing a search before posting!

Who gives an F about resale - I have an '07 F-150 Super Crew and I don't want to EVER sell it. That machine is the best truck I've ever had. I didn't throw any comments in earlier because the OP specifically stated that he was not looking for the man sized truck, but was looking for M.P.G.

This is what I do in Bahrain and it works like a charm! $0.17 a minute to the US.

I have been the Tanker before and I'm the dump truck driver now so I'll try and answer this... 1. Hornet guys fly fairly fast, COD flies fairly slow. 2. Hornet guys fly up high, COD guys stay in the lower middle. 3. In the Viking, we tanked @ 250 and that was a bit slower than the...

I've had a Blackberry with T-Mobile for 3 years now and love it. My data plan is $20 a month for unlimited data. The push e-mail works with all major e-mail providers. Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. No delay noticed on receipt time either.

As for the airplane, I know as much as I can being being an AC/Instructor in it - Of course there is always more to learn... As for the fish - Not much, saltwater I think. As for the CODPIECE - nothing at all...

COD Guys are also in it to the end. I also noticed the difference level of systems knowledge between the jet community and the COD community. I can't say one is better, but I like nowing all I can about my aircraft that I can. Even moreso now that my EP's don't end with EJECT!

Question asked, answered, acknowledged. Only can get ugly from here. CLOSED.

SHHH! Men are talking here.

Silly poster - you can't mix sidewinders and people in the same plane! Just check the P-codes! :eek::D:eek:
