When you are arrested, you are no longer "free to go". Not being free to go means a custodial interrogation, which triggers the Miranda rights. If you are being detained, you have an expectation of being able to leave when the immediate investigation is complete. When just detained, the...

Got a pair of the VFF Bikila yesterday. They felt great for the first run last night!

You have to follow your calling, Whether it's the Priesthood or a Commission. I'm sure you have thought about it for a long time. I wish you the best of luck!

Loading great! Trouble loading a new avatar, but I'm sure it's operator error.

John, thanks for the hard work! I need to click on the contribute tab a few times... It's probably been a while.

So... Anyone up for ANOTHER SLEP for the COD? I'm guessing we are outta procurement dollars for a COD program, so it's time to look at the cheaper options.

So is posting this guidance against this guidance? :)

So why isn't it making any bigger news stories beyond the post editorial?

Frick... I won't get to NGU until Thurs night. We'll have to go drink if your still in town.

Red Wings are the only boots I'll wear...

Paint scheme is for the Rawhides 50th anniversary in July. The big bash is on July 16th I do believe.

FYI - Waivers are granted by NOMI but are approved by NPC. NPC can even grant a waiver thats been denied by NOMI. Just ask MasterBates!

I have mine in housing @ NASNI.

There will be a COD there, so plan on a good time!

Nope. "the forum you are attempting to visit I'd temporarily closed".

Here is a good spot to look for what the Navy considers a drug http://www.npc.navy.mil/AboutUs/NPC/PublicAffairs/NewsDetails/ZeroToleranceDrugPolicy.htm

For the C-2, they say they've fixed the whole water+prop=bad issue.

Rewire is happening at North Island. It's being done mostly during PMI 3. I've gone over and looked at a bird in progress. Amazing work they do!

Well, The rewire is more like almost 100% rewire. Several spots in the aircraft will still have kapton wiring after the rewire is complete. On a good note, The West coast will start getting the 8 blade CNS/ATM birds this summer.

Saw two of the V-22's in Bahrain today, Very nice. I wish I had gotten there a bit earlier so I could talk to the crew and have a look around the aircraft. Of course I would have offered a tour of the Mighty War COD in return. :)

I couldn't agree more with Guad. I've been in nearly 12 years, I'm on my 3rd straight sea tour (9 month break after the 1st for a second FRS) & 1/2 way through my 6th deployment in 7 years. I expect to finish this set of orders with >3,000 Navy flight hours. I miss the heck out of my family...

The east coast COD's (and next year the west coast COD's) will be IFR legal with the GPS. CNS/ATM is an amazing product. Digital approach plates, RNAV, GPS approaches - we're damn near getting into the '90's! Of course, the COD is already pretty loaded on the IFR front...

As far as I can tell from watching my Viking bretheren transition and through my own transition, the VAW/VRC Community is the most welcoming community for a transition. They treat you well, like the experience you bring and will let you compete fairly for DH & Command. Not nearly as many good...

I've got a T2C who is un-winged on deployment with me now. It's not a big detractor. Prior to deployment he became "positionally qualified" and can fill the slot without being winged. He's a great aircrewman and works very hard and has learned his profession on the job. When I put the wings...

8 Blade & CNS/ATM. The WonderCOD! Once a COD get's through PMI-3, it's like you took 10 years off the airframe. Add in the new goodies mentioned above and we've got a rejuvinated airframe. Still not new, but we expect it will last to get us through to the replacement aircraft.

Thanks for the vote of confidence in the Mighty WAR COD! It's been a while, Bahrain is hot, hours for everyone and isn't it time for this shit to be over?! The C-2B was the answer the 2006(?) Analysis of Options came up with for the COD replacement, but we are doing another AoA soon. The...

I'm with FLY USMC's sentiment & this is how I roll...

Copy... I'll carry on and stop pointing out what I know not of...

Fester, I'm fairly certain was with us enduring the JFK Pain-ex. Maybe on a different small boy in the group?

Best seats in the house...

This SITE should be able to answer your question. It's the FAQ sheet from the link posted previously. It has the info you are looking for.

This SITE should be able to answer most of the Mil Comp questions. I am not endorsing them, but I have only heard good things about them in the past.

DON'T FLY CONGESTED! That is unless you want 3-6 months off (read permanent SDO) to heal the blown sinus/eardrum/etc.

Big fucking suprise...

But most of the guys (if not all) in MakeVapes post lived to fly again. I went through flight school with the fentress gear up guy and then did 2 deployments with him, post incident.

This I knew, but it made me think... Which way did the Osprey go? Mostly helo guys populated the community; did they stick with "what they knew" or did they go with fixed wing conventions?

Got it. Thanks!

MB, Can you send a copy of the page out to the San Diego area? I'm sure I could wrangle up some signatures!

no!

That's a nice looking model - I bet it took quite some time. FYI Lieutenant Commander is LCDR vice LT CDR. Tonto is a good dude too.

We tried this once in a squadron. Ended with a very bad inspection. Came down to Mondays were marginally productive due to weekend recovery, Tuesdays good, Wed's productivity went down looking forward to weekend and Thursdays were nil as it was the new Friday. Great for morale, bad for...

yeah, that still pisses me off. You would do well in the COD community. We'll get you at the DH board...

C'mon now Bunky... I have seen some great leadership in the COD community over the last 4 years and some not so great. No different than I saw in the Viking Community or any of the other communities my peers are in. I know you have had to deal with some bad breaks, but don't bash the whole...

YOU don't select CODs, CODs selects you.

That's funny. Same type thing happened to me. I was up for a CPT sim with him. Props I think. Then I was swapping with the Copilot for his sim. in between the sims, I spoke freely with the other stud in the briefing spaces. Guess who was in the hall listening? yup, the dudester. He made...

Have you experienced a dudashtrophy yet? Ugh, we didn't get along.

I left my S-3 squadron with 1260 hours in type, 350 traps total (42 month tour) and left my 1st COD tour with 990 hours in type, 450 trpas total (38 month tour). COD guys get most of their hours on deployment too, but if a CVN is at sea, we are flying quite a bit no matter where it is. I am...

TFU Website At the bottom of the page is a link to e-mail questions or comments to TFU. Flood them with requests from .mil accounts. Backs up any petitions, point papers, etc. If you can't be bothered to send an e-mail, then you don't really care!

Wink, My Dad is one of your Co-workers & he sent me that link a few days ago. I was thrilled to hear the positives between the unions since there has been so much wasted animosity.

Ok, I remember that now. I tried to flush everything JFK...
