Thicker skin WILL be required to succeed during the good times you may get to experience in Quantico. Oh, and as been stated (by ACTUAL Marines), a level of respect for those superior to you (in rank, of course)

You'll get your sign on bonus at OCS. Just ask one of your drill instructors during the first week, that way they have enough time to process the request before graduation. *above post 'may' include false or sarcastic information.

wow.

Was about to go for a run around the neighborhood, but seeing as how I live near the approach end of rwy 17 at KPNS, I think I'll now stay in and drink a beer instead.

I wouldn't get too worked up guys, we got the same end of the world treatment this same time last year and everything ended up ok. If you're worried this much you're probably part of the crowd that cares enough to put forth the effort needed to stick around.

I've gotten most of my parts/accessories from cheaperthandirt.com pretty good selection/prices but I'm sure rocketman would know if there is someplace better.

Just curious in case any E-6 guys are watching this thread, was advanced training in the T-1 similiar to what people are saying about Vance primary with 12 hour mandatory days, stand up EP's, etc...? Also, how long was advanced and were there a fair share of Navy IP's there at all? I've browsed...

Looks like a fan, probably used to help the clearcoat dry

Ok, just realized you were talking to PR1 about his reenlistment. My fault for reading that wrong, and either way I know you wouldn't have meant to come across like that. Have fun if you get to fly tomorrow, I'm pretty sure the weather will be keeping me on the ground.

I know you didn't mean offense, but choose your words better. I wouldn't call the deaths of over 2000 service members, which thrust us into a war which killed/wounded many thousands more a "happy anniversary"

or one REALLY crazy night in port in a hotel room...:watching3

The most fun I NEVER want to have again...

One Democrat has found the answer! Guess I could fit this here instead of starting another thread. Found this humorous and also somewhat infuriating at the same time, I hate when representatives (of either party) waste time and money to put forth gimmicks just to get their name out there...

Yeah that's what I meant, obviously most of my class left me in the dust awhile ago ;)

Roger that, so it's just the ratio of actual grades/mif for all graded flights measured against the previous group of studs, hours don't factor in at all. Thanks :D

Resurrecting AGAIN :o Sorry, but was curious if anybody had an answer. Does anyone know if: 1) Warmup flight hours count towards total hours for NSS purposes? and 2) DOES total hours even factor towards NSS? (thought I had heard something to that effect to basically keep people from...

Not to mention a T-34 NATOPS probably won't make any damn sense to you until you've had the systems class in Primary. Also, you're so young by the time you get here you'll more than likely be flying T-6B's so you'd be starting again from scratch. I know you're eager but you'll have plenty of...

I made it in just after Hozer, looks like we're up to $3K :)

This is false

Pretty sure this was a big factor in my selection. <<<-----2.45 gpa :watching3

I don't pretend to know alot about the old GI Bill, but if this guy was prior enlisted shouldn't it be covering quite a bit of his tuition? And if it doesn't, then they're right buddy, it's your damn fault you went to an expensive school, the Navy doesn't owe you shit.

For the win: :icon_mi_6:icon_boun

Would like to find out where he lives so I can conveniently have to use the relief tube next time I'm up that way.

That would be 'oorah!' ;) and by the way, it's not stupid haircuts, even though I'm no longer on the green side, I still appreciate a good high and tight :icon_tong

Dude, you obviously didn't heed the advice given by everyone earlier in the thread. Have you gotten the axe yet? No? Then sack up and keep fighting. No one here is going to give you permission to quit. If that's what you want to do, fine, nothing wrong with it if it isn't for you, but YOU make...

I just wanted to say good luck, we're all counting on you. oh, and don't call me shirley...;)

In A-pool they'll make announcements during muster for captain's cup events, when you get over to the VT's they just post the schedules in the hallways and in the line shack and you pretty much just show up if you can.

Rest in piece, Sir. Amazing how you can feel a connection and loss from someone you never met in person, just from here. Every mishap I always hoped it wouldn't be someone from here that I "knew", this is truly sad.

Floppy, Check this place out: http://www.styxrivershootingcenter.com/ Great place and they have a skeet range and a good selection of firearms, it's just over the border in AL but it's only about 20-25 minutes from P-cola.

Damn Bevo beat me to it

Appropriate this thread came up now, I finally just upgraded my standard AR-15 with some parts from cheaperthandirt. CAMike, I think you and me have the same bipod, how do you like it? Planning on shooting it for the first time this weekend, we'll see how I like the vertical foregrip. Any...

Edited my first post, lesson learned.

praying for a good outcome for the crew.

E-2 landing mishap not too long ago in Norfolk along with the one that went into the water off a cat shot off the coast of Virginia (I believe with 3 lost?) about 2 years ago off the top of my head.

shotguns. Unless you're firing from <15 feet you don't have to worry about salsa. Usually only a couple of the pellets actually hit and bring it down.

Sounds like heaven. You pretty much summed up how I plan to retire if I make it that long

Bevo, if I make it to Kingsville next I'll take you up on that if the offer is still standing. Used to deer hunt out near there and dove hunting is my favorite. Seems like some days they were so thick they'd block out the sun :D

There are some operations that will take you out on fanboats and put you in some blinds down near Aransas Pass and Rockport if you don't mind spending a little cash, google is your friend on that. Great duck hunting, I envy you being down there, hopefully I'll be in Kingsville next season.

yes. I did the civilian job thing and got paid good money and got to travel. I can't believe I get paid to do what I do now, and I'm only in primary

At OCS we had to have the uniform shop open that up for us, took less than five minutes.

Great, thanks or the advice guys! It's a 2004 Jetta btw

I've read similiar things online about pete moore so I'm definitely not taking it there, thanks for the help though Fog. I have no idea what's wrong, it seems to be running fine but the check engine light has been on for a few days she said. The fluid levels were all ok and it's not making any...

I need to have my wife's Jetta checked out for some engine problems today or tomorrow preferably, and the mainside autoport is full today and closed tomorrow. The one at Corry doesn't have a mechanic. Anyone have any suggestions for a shop out in town you had a good experience with and would...

+1

For anyone going to OCS in the near future, consider yourself lucky if you get the drill instructor in that video. I had him when I went through last year and he's one of the finest Marine/mentors I've ever met, including my time in Quantico.

Or for the instructors when dealing with some foreign students (and some US students ;)): "did not speak english or respond well to instructions" :D

It's ok Bevo, after tech gets beat down by Texas this weekend and my Cougars the following weekend he'll crawl back under that rock...;):D

Whoa... Was just being tongue in cheek. See ---->;):D

Flowchart made pretty good sense to me, and yes, bensgouge is great. A few things wrong, but as long as you just use it as backup you're good to go. It's like my iphone, how did people live without it before?! ;):D

Trust me, that won't be a problem... You'll actually wish you had more of it sometimes :D
