This is a Naval Aviation Forum. If you wan't something else, go somewhere else; maybe www.foodnetwork.com, www.foodcritic.com or www.cantkeepitrelevant.com. The resaurant thread is marginally relevant because it was kept to places where we have bases and train. This one should go away. ZABs...

CEP-USA doesn't list an NSN for the fixed wing helmet version so I didn't think they were in the system (helo helmet version does have an NSN). But I guess by buy off I mean promote them for widespread use beyond the Helo community (who they were designed for I believe). The S-3 got them only...

I wish the Navy would buy off on the CEP ear pieces, this would be the biggest advance in hearing preservation that the Navy ever did for aircrew. I've had them since they were brought into the S-3 Community and I still wear them today. I think I'm the only one in C-2's to have them. They do...

Well, looks like no punishement. Will he be commissioned now? http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/07/21/academy.sexualassault.ap/index.html

You may not get a bomb in your home, but if I remember the classes in SERE correctly, even in Vietnam the POWs were shown pictures of their homes, families, etc demonstrating that the bad guys can reach out and touch you where it hurts. I sure wouldn't want to be identified publicly.

Nice story, thanks!

This may explain why A4s can't/won't discuss his opinions.

Bum gouge.

Or you go old school and read the book. Much better...

Thanks Joey...

Not being a d1ck, but have you checked out Stats & Scores?

I agree, I just liked making a smart alec remark. :)

It may not be a panacea, but it ain't sh*t if it isn't on either...

THREADJACK GoLSU-What do you have against the bonus? /THREADJACK

Yeah, Night traps suck, But Night CATS are worse...

E-2C & C-2A Studs aren't retarded, they fly the T-45 (or whatever the CQ jet was at the time) in advanced (mostly for CQ purposes). If you go back as an IP, you just don't instruct in some of the phases (weps, road reccies, tacform, acm, guns) unless you get the proper training to instruct in...

Congrats, Where are you off to now?

CNN had what appeared to be pretty close range video of the ship firing into Lebanon, so I guess just about anyone could get close enough to control an R/C into it.

There is a Snort on this site, but it IS NOT the "Snort" Snodgrass that is in the picture and flies in airshows now.

Gotcha. Like I said, it is just an idea in the community right now and obviously we have plenty to learn. The CO of the Osprey FRS gave a dog and pony show to one of the planning groups and they all fell in love with it, so if the Analysis of Options comes back saying the Osprey is the way to...

The C-2 community is thinking about sending a guy there to fly the V-22 for a few years to give feedback on it's suitability to replace the COD. I've been thinking about putting my name in the hat for it. The idea is that the V-22 can do about 80% of what the C-2 does now and would add several...

Can you expand on Cherry Point? I may have an opportunity to take a set of orders there, but I know nothing about it... Thanks!

There were five classes on deck when I went through OCS (6 the first weeks!)

That is pretty funny though...Wrong, but funny.

Good Luck & I hope to see you in the fleet in a few years!

THREADJACK I can't believe that 13-06 just commissioned! When I went through OCS in '98 class 13-98 was commissioned in early April. I guess that is just another example of how the Navy is taking fewer people these days! /THREADJACK

Allright, I was too quick on the trigger. I didn't know that Steve had sent the boys on a gay porn search. I'll try to take it back. edit: I can't figure out how to take it back. So, rep points to you Hizmo

Now that's a fricken great prank!

Agreed. You don't want to make the recruiter think "what a tool" the first time you meet him.

Good info for all the applicants. We knew you would intercede eventually RockyMtnNFO!

Nothing in the Navy will move before August. Trust me, you are going to Pensacola, FL. If you don't, BigRed389 will send you a case of beer.

I can't speak for helos, but in jets yes it matters. Figure the tanks weigh about 1K each and they hold 2-3K of fuel. If you just have 2 tanks, that can be up to 8K of extra weight that you have to maneuver. It pays of on endurance, but you will have a performance penalty.

In my old S-3 command pilots were issued lip lights and the NFO's were issued the finger lights. I think the lip light was a better deal.

You can carry them, but it is a pain in the butt. Generally you have to have the PR's etch it and tie it into your vest and then you are good to go. You are allowed up to 5 lbs of optional gear as long as it is properly installed.

I love it when I hear about sentences like this...

Awesome. I can imagine the other chapters: Phu Khen Skeds Phu Khen DH's Phu Khen Ho's Etc...

Pretty funny, thanks!

nice...

Gotcha, that's what I thought, but I wasn't certain.

You don't mean to say that you are paying income tax to VA do you? You are not a resident of the state! Of course you have to pay property taxes on the house, but that should be it. Just because you own a house in a state doesn't mean you have to pay income tax there. Please clarify if I...

is that what they teach you before an IA billet? Funny stuff.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply ya'll were fighting. I guess "comparing" would be a better term. :icon_smil

Carno & Gregsgiver - are you arguing a Marine contract vs a Navy contract?

Apparently now avail in digital analog!

Not good news. Did these guys not make the window for VSP?

So, do you have orders yet?

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be in combat, there is much to be admired about your desire, BUT, that isn't the point that people were trying to make to you. The point is that if you want to even have the option to stay in the Navy past your initial obligation, you need to stay in your...

It's called the transfer/redesignation board. All the info you need to get started is HERE It's not going to be E-2 guys have a better chance than C-2 guys or helo guys or P-3 guys,etc. It's just your record vs. another persons record. How did you do in flight school? Fitreps? LOR's from...

I don't disagree with you at all, I was just commenting on what happened when my squadron tried to get Litening pods in 2003. HeyJoe pointed out that it's Lantirn pods now. I guess the Hoover Guys tried again at what they could get their hands on. The S-3 is going to continue to deploy for...
