funny you bring that up, my parents were stationed at Ft. Polk when that happened. i heard it made a big stink around base..haha funny stuff none the less...

nice.

A4s pic doesn't really show where the ball is at either, the ball was tucked high and up near Ben's chest, you can kinda see that seahawk player tryin to grab it, indicating it might have broken the plane...all in all, that TD was sketchy as hell.

a movie that wasn't good at all, just stating my opinion, thats what these things are for right?

The napalm seems feasible, but those sure as hell looked like fuel tanks..maybe it was the acting that couldn't seem to get me into it, cause it was horrible. I still can't see time-compression as reasonable excuse for the speed of those airstrikes, I would think that the battlefield would...

We Were Soldiers was horrible, at the end a CH-47 comes in and drops off a bunch of reporters, like 30 or so...I didn't know there were 47s in Vietnam, maybe I am wrong? Also they had a plane or some older aircraft drop "fuel tanks" and blow up into a fireball. I thought they used another type...

Well i found out about my situation with the National Guard and trying to transfer into the PLC program. read this link if your confused about what im talking about http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14261 Anyways, There is a DD form called a 368 that I have to fill out and get...

so what is the difference between UHF and VHF? i take it UHF stands for Ultra? is it a more powerful signal or?

I was thinking about something the other day about navigation out in the ocean. Lets say an aircraft flies out of visual range of an aircraft carrier, how does the aircraft find its way back? since the ship moves then techincally it won't be in the same spot when the aircraft flies back. Does...

gator and bobbybrock, thanks for the info. I never understood the different dynamic between being a HAC/PIC and the ranking officer, makes sense though I never got to see the guys communicate in the air, therefore things probably would change. sorry if I got a little defensive, officer blood...

mucho gracias.

haha, ok im not quite in the miltary yet, so fill me in on the acronyms so im not out in left field.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/v-22-escort.htm How probable is this aircraft? I looked up a post on here about it before but didn't get to much info out of it.

aww shit there is a fight on airwarriors..... just made my day :icon_nav_

Making a fully remote control aircraft takes the humanity out of war. It'll be a disconnect from real feelings.

I don't think that is compeletly true. Some of the officers I know are very experienced pilots. The problem with Army Aviation, is that you have some USMA and OCS graduates who come in as 2nd Lt after flight school, and get shoved in a flight operations/planning job. Of course they don't have...

I just talked to an oso in syracuse, and she said they accept no pins or metal joints and it is auotmatically disqualifying. I thought that was kinda fishy. From what you guys have told me I guess its not true, what would I say to her then?

Ok, so if the oso blows smoke up my a$$ about my acl, then I should whip out that page? I don't think it should be a problem, I was wrestling all out on it with no problems on my college team less than 2 months ago. I can run a 5:30 mile (haven't done the 3 mile for the marines yet) and I have...

I would imagine, that they can process you while you are in, think about how Navy enlisted folks tryin to fly warrant in the Army, the Navy guys are already contracted, so they have to process under the same circumstances. I think what is going to happen is, I'm going to apply and if they...

hmmm so basically what you telling me is, get into the PLC program get accepeted, tell my national guard guys im going to be a marine officer...do paper work ...then im all good? Just for good info, the National Guard says they don't have a DEP program, or do they? I am not sure, I got the...

Right now I'm tryin to get into Marine PLC, but if that doesn't work out after I graduate I plan on applying to Navy OCS for an sna/snfo slot. I talked to my OSO earlier today and they absouletly none (plate-pins) can be allowed. I thought this was kinda sketchy, because I know the Army grants...

I looked around and didn't find any info on this subject so I thought I would ask. I had a rough high school career, I tore my ACL, broke my ankle, and had jaw surgery in less than six months(Football, Wrestling, Soccer..I went to school in Europe, Miltary brat). The surgeries left me with 7...

yeah, I would take the best guy qualified to do the job. Every service probably has their golden points, I'm sure Navy, Marine, Air Force, and Army pilots all are just as good as eachother, there is no way to match skills just based the service and training they received; and pissing contests...

Hmmm so basically I have one question. Will applying for from another serivice i.e. Army National Guard for OCS after college hurt your chances? do boards look down at other branches when applying for OCS? or is this a non-factor?

good point, plus if something does go horribly wrong...like lets say a freak accident happens and you lose an eyeball and you have no depth perception anymore, or you fail the phyiscal then you can go on to another career..where as putting all your eggs in one basket with the Army, could put you...

yeah, check out this site as well www.kiowapilots.com .Its all Army helo pilot oriented, mainly 58D pilots, but there are a mix of of different airframes in there too. It will tell you everything, from how to apply for a warrant slot, and also guides through the flight training process, just...

this may sound kinda crazy, but I have heard of a W-4 or W-5 getting a position at the company level...very very rare, I think I might have heard it over a disscussion at a get together a couple months ago..don't qoute me on that..but I think thats what I heard

word on the street is, all Warrants are commissioned by W-2.... W-1's are not commissioned..don't ask me why but that is what I have been told by some warrants around here. Some warrants are prior enlisted guys, a 2-year degree is needed to be competetive for a warrant slot...I think experience...
