Yeah but UND gots helicopters...right? which, I would rather fly than what we got here. None the less....haha I would rather goto UD for the simply fact that I wouldn't be in N. Dakota. That has got to be a college student's nightmare. No beaches, no big cities, no real tan girls....the list...

does that help? lol

A4s did your civy flying help you much when you went to primary? or did you find it helpful? I'm doing the civy flying because if for some reason the miltary thing does not work out for me, I still would want to fly in the civilian world as a professional pilot when I get out. I would hope that...

nope not out west...I don't think that would fare well with some of the students here...their grown pretty fat out here..when did you first solo A4s? that sucks...I think the only reason they do it to us, is cause they get bored in the tower since there is not alot of activity...and most of...

haha yeah I understand the "first" solo, I did the same as Lawman did, 3 and out, then I was done. This time I took my fiberglass friend across the mississippi and did stalls, steep turns, slow flight stuff to that nature. Yeah I guess I already did my solo, awhile back but it didn't feel the...

haha yeah I deserved both of them, I actually laughed about it once I got out to the practice field, but ATC just made my armpits sweat a little more. I definitly learned from it..more importantly though..I feel alot more confident on my own now....mark tape? whats that mean?

So today, I had my first actual solo for my ppl. I solo'd before but that was just staying in the pattern doing touch and goes...not really much to it. This time I actually was to leave the pattern and work on maneuvers and stuff in a practice field about 15 sm from the airport. Well good news...

pfeif congrats man!

yeah I figured that flying a multi-million dollar aircraft about 20 feet off the ground with no intentions of landing it...would be a no-no..none the less that video was cool as sh!t...

anyone get in trouble for that?

ohhhh ok, check that..note taken. danke'

Well I know I'm only 19 and I can't really give any in-depth advice on this subject (except for being broke part ) but, I was always told if there is a will than there is a way. I don't think the debt problem shouldn't be a big issue (once again some one might shed some light on that...thats...

lol...I just watched it too :o

f**k it. I played OLB and some CB back in the day. Blew out my ACL and broke an ankle...good times though, wouldn't trade it for anything I did in high school...cept for maybe a couple gpa points...but thats alright, those GPA points were still worth the poontang I got:D :o ;) And to you my...

haha...as normal more army jokes. Come on now, we all know army pilots have more fun that navy/marine pilots...quit passing the hatorade around :P I have some pretty funny ones between -58d and -64 pilots if yall wanna read them.

I would like to know too.

:watching3

I just heard the story of how he got shot though, once through the jaw?!? wtf. Anyways fill me in on the story of how he got his name....

Ghost...dude I'm sorry, but I like the 99 cent value meal at Mcdonald's wayyy to much to die in a sand box, and you should too! I would like to see how much you do not fear death, this "war" is not like Ghost Recon or Halo 2. Jus because 50 cent got shot 8 times and survived doesn't mean he...

im all ears :)

Really? I've always found getting getting hit from the side kinda fun, cause for some odd reason back in the day, aside from the blunt force I would always..seem to..kinda "fly" up and away...haha and could prepare for impact with the hard earth. Interceptions suck though...haha next thing you...

I'll take that about football, but if I were a receiver that got hit like John Lynch laid out that one guy last year...or how D. Darius from the Jags popped Fergy from the Packers..I would tuck my chin. Of course no moron that has ever played would tuck their head when tackling, but if I got...

haha.

Maybe he was talking about some sort of impact. During freestyle wrestling (and any contact sport for that matter) we were always taught to tuck our chins to our chest before getting slammed to the matt, it prevents concussions and head trauma from head smacking in the matt. Snowboarders also...

Here is another tip of advice, once you start getting into the heavy more dense stuff that requires alot of memorization (vx, vy, vso, definitions stuff like that) try anything that will help associate certain things with those definitions. Also, do not be afraid to change flight instructors if...

well im going to add my sarcastic comment for the day uh because usually death hurts. kinda like surgery...ya kinda know its coming, but really can't do jack squat about it...except ask for morphine :)

So I sit here getting ready to write my "Why I want to be a Marine Officer" essay for the PLC packet I am putting together for the April board. This isn't a thread about asking what I should write, because I already know what I am going write. I was just wondering why everyone else on this forum...

haha man im an idiot, I have that book...I didn't even realize that was the one you guys were talking about. "How to be a U.S. Naval Aviator" oops. I liked it btw.

dude here is a grand idea. Lets use it to shoot down regular aircraft. I'm sure if we can get a UAV to fly half way across the world, we probably could get that thing to splash a few goobers. or maybe I have been watching to much star trek..hmpf

Aug 20th? hmm i thought it was Aug 11, graduation and what not, only reason I remeber that, cause it was my birthday...are those the offcial dates? I might be wrong.

I'm applyin for 2nd inc. this summer. I'm taking the ASTB this monday..and should be good to go. What were your ASTB/gpa scores and what not?

Zoom, where is your OSO located?

Hey is it true they do peer evals at PLC? do they hold any weight on anything? how does that play into the whole scheme of things....

paintball ...thats what im talking about!...I take it that the training depends on the OSO. p.s. what does ISMT mean?

Boot bands? whats that? pull up bar? I use my dorm's shower bars..they seem to work well over inflated ego? ..can be inflated :) Sewing pockets shut? haha what for? ...water? After the selection process and everything, from what I hear plc'ers don't have any commitment during the school...

thanks.

So I hold in my hand an approved DD368 from the Army National Guard into the Marine PLC program. Despite all of the setbacks in recruiting they are still letting me go, to put this in perspective its like trying to get a tomato to turn into an apple....needless to say it was very difficult, but...

haha funny clip...yeah speaking of arms trade, you guys see Lord of War? I kinda liked it. Any truth to that movie anyways?

more like Student Naval Aviator/ or Student Naval Flight Officer :) jus messing pfeif...now go do my Air Trans hw.

$20 it was Col. Mustard in the billard room with a lead pipe. :)

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/03/11/milosovic/index.html Any thoughts here? karma....:icon_smil

as long as you don't get your check ride with Joe Suarez...lol then you might want to put some more money into your account. jk

I was wondering this and thought it was a good quesiton to ask, when it comes to mechanics between the Marines, Navy, Army and Air Force how much simliar is their training? Seeing that they have different airframes, but there are obviously alot of airframes such as the -60 that are quite alike...

this is getting interesting :) im going to make some popcorn.

Any smart person knows the difference, you used the word incorrectly and it needed to be addressed. By some people's standards we are not fighting the "Arabs" ....we are helping them, but that is subjective to the individual and their personal views/ideals/priorities. I'm not mad, just don't be...

By Arabs you mean terrorists right? nice way to throw them all in one bunch, what about the dudes in Southeast Asia? They must be Arabs too, or are they Asians? this maybe a side note, but its something that upsets me. NOT ALL ARABS ARE TERRORISTS AND NOT ALL TERRORISTS ARE ARAB.

...

Or why not just become a warrant? I know some people that were RLOs back home that just made the switch and now their flying their entire careers. just a thought.

yall got me...lol
