With a helmet camera stuck on my helmet. Every full-up BFM flight has a hard deck so I'm not sure what you are getting at with that comment?

had the chance to play both the 360 & PS3 yesterday on a 34in Sony HD widescreen @ 720p ... Madden07 on both systems and Call of Duty3 on PS3. PS3 looked better with Madden in my opinion. ............ the 360 maxes out at 1080i ... though most people will say beyond 6 or 7ft you can't tell...

since you’re a boot to posting on these forums, here's some advice - there’s stuff that’s sometimes said on these forums that shouldn’t be taken literally or personally ... and i wouldn't insinuate anything about somebody you probably know nothing about, there's some pretty salty pilots that...

I'm sure you saw the MARADMIN that has the ECP selection results in it but didn't read much beyond your name. Read the whole thing, it'll answer some of your questions ... it can be found here...

it takes my NMCI laptop 8-10 minutes to be useable after i log in. if i get impatient and try to launch IE or Outlook before the HD light goes out, add another 4-6 minutes for the NMCI laptop to be useable ... if it doesn't crash first. a re-boot of my NMCI laptop, from windows destop and back...

that article is subjective, one mans opinion. no shіt XBox online and amount of games available for the XBox360 will be better than PS3, it's been out a year longer ... and hell, i could easily write an article and fill it full of "Without getting into too many details" and "I can’t get into...

i'm not too sure pilot_man. while i agree that a quick left or right turnout on departure from NPA and within a couple minutes the Hornets would be out of the P'Cola airspace and not bothering any TRACOM sqd's, i don't think the W-155 is big enough for all the squadrons the Navy would bring...

you got it backwards bro, 210 knots for the mains, 190 for the nose ... at least for the old school Hornet (A-D) generically speaking, landing long on a shorter runway with a stiff tailwind could possibly lead to blown tires. i personally would not land with more than a 10 knot tailwind in...

Brett, i suspect it was a MANPAD vice anything radar-guided. could be wrong though. personally i'd like to see if the French has the sack to engage the Israeli's. as you said though, no doubt there is more to the situation than the media knows about.

i got this 4 minutes (~3mb) of UAV propaganda from IRIB News. gives you something to think about, err, look out for, next time you are in the 'stack' while in the Gulf. looks like the thing flew right over the boat

Semper Fidelis

. and we still are fighting it on the cheap ... at the expense of American lives. I copied this from wikipedia ... it's a basic explanation of the Powell Doctrine. "The questions posed by the Powell Doctrine, which should be answered affirmatively before military action, are: 1. Is a...

the Powell Doctrine ... makes to much sense. too bad some are (were) to arrogant and stubborn to use it. ... every resource and tool should be used to achieve overwhelming force against the enemy, minimizing US casualties and ending the conflict quickly by forcing the weaker force to...

comical ... standard Marine Corps political correctness. that Master Guns in the article who was complaining about Jenna coming to the Ball most likely forgot he jerked off to one of her porn movies on one of his past deployments, as did all the other Marines who bіtched about it ... sigh too...

don't hate, squeeze ... :)

we're too cool for school ...

he has very little control over what MOS he gets out of TBS unless he has an Aviation contract, he's a Lawyer, or he graduates first in his class at TBS. And at least at this point (if he's worried about an MOS taking "him too far away from [you] for too long"), both of you can count on the fact...

the Colonel ... he still around? he despised me, and i can honestly say i didn't care too much for him either. as for flight time ... i had zero (0) flight hours starting Primary and currently have around 650 in the hornet S/F

congratulations?

Not sure how other communities are sitting right now within the Corps, but this is the latest word from the fixed wing Company Grade Monitor … “I must emphasize here again that we have an enormous amount of aviators coming off FAC duty or DIFDEN tours wanting back to the fleet MAG's.” and...

it was Marine Hornets from BFT

i read in this weeks Marine Corps Times that the Corps proposed FY08 budget includes "a 14-month delay in the fielding of a jump-jet version of the F-35 Lightning II strike fighter and a cut in yearly MV-22 Osprey buys that would total 25 aircraft". i'm wondering how far back that's gonna push...

OCS for the Marine Corps is more like a try out to make the team ... you learn all that other trash at TBS as for the Dress Blues, you can wear the Dress Blues Bravo's out in town ... Dress Blue Alpha's aren't suppose to be worn out in town, but seems like after every Marine Corps Ball I have...

having lived in Beaufort for the last 3+ years, i can attest to the fact that the area is growing ... not significantly in population (unless you want to count all the illegal Mexicans living in Bluffton & Hilton Head), but new businesses & houses going up at the rapid rate, even a Best Buy now...

thanks for the clarification, i learned something S/F

to clear my confusion then, what that helo is doing in the video is a normal approach and the crewman just happened to get slung out? because to my virgin eyes it looked like the helo was fairly close to crashing and the hookup guy was just standing there like nothing out of the ordinary was...

i didn't know squids had discipline such as that of the dumbass on the deck of that ship in the video S/F

while i too think his gig is pretty comical and is a great topic at the fighter bar, "Head" Rush is extremely talented at his day job → flying F/A-18's and instructing students & fleet Marine Hornet pilots as a MAWTS IP. as i previously mentioned, i know him, and i have sit through several of...

LOL, i know that guy ... callsign "Head" ... say it isn't so ... he's a good dude too, and still works at MAWTS-1 in the Hornet shop

you're right, there is one mission the JV Hornet can't do that a "Super" can ... we can't give gas Marine single seat hornets are doing FAC(A) now doesn't the majority of "Super" currently in the fleet have the APG-73? also, don't know what your getting at with the FLIR, JV hornets can carry...

nice

having studied the Chinese military fairly in depth, it'd be interesting to see if we would be able pull your plan off. maybe one day, Flash, we will cross paths and swap notes (in a secure location of course) S/F

my 2¢ China is a country to be concerned with ... we shouldn't be naive, as they are biding their time. if China decided to take over Taiwan next week, there is nothing we could do about it, and if N Korea sees that escalation as a good time to mass troop along the DMZ, we'd really be up a...

FoxNews is only "Fair and Balanced" in that it provides viewers with a view from the right as compared against the left leaning CNN, their biggest competitor. anybody with an open mind sees through that bullshіt slogan of theirs. i personally like to watch all the different news channels to get...

yep, that's him

speaking of old shool Marines ... met a Medal of Honor winner today, fought on Iwo, last name is Williams ... as he talked with me (very sharp 80-something year old) i couldn't take my eyes his medal. he even cracked a joke about "airwingers". S/F

i disagree, in my 15 years or so in the Corps, i've never heard or called a 1stSgt of Marines "Top" ... on the other hand, i've regularly heard & called a Master Sgt "Top" ... most do not mind it, some do. my recommendation is if i wasn't in the Marine Corps yet, i would stick to calling him...

The Army Air Defense Artillery puts out a computer based program called "Visual Aircraft Recognition" ... (https://airdefense.bliss.army.mil/vacr/) ... it's unclass there is also the FM 44-80 Visual Aircraft Recognition manual ... very basis stuff there ...

thanks for the history lesson ... still doesn't change the fact that they are too stupid to be civilized.

at this point, if you have your degree already, your best bet will be to wait till you get to your fleet unit and submit a package for Enlisted Commissioning Program (ECP).

"what else should we expect when you try to plant a Jewish land in the middle of a bunch of Muslims?"

heyjoe, wasn't it the Sagger wire-guided anti-tank missile and not Strela, which is associated with Russian manpads? my 2¢ on the topic ... what else should we expect when you try to plant a Christian land in the middle of a bunch of Muslims? those people have been fighting Christians for...

nothing like sitting at the holdshort at Hickam/Honolulu Intl waiting on a departing 777, and hoping the 747 taxiing behind you sees you ... i thought the 147th pulled out of Ellington? Davis-Monthan is Mil-only ... Tuscon Intl about 5nm south has reserve F-16s Miramar would be perfect...

to make a statment like that, you must have experience in all the other MC platforms? i tell you what, convince me how the Osprey is a more exciting platform than the F/A-18 and I'll put my name in the hat for the next MV-22 transition board ... by the way, i don't drink kool aid so don't offer...

you could ask the fellas in the Hornet shop down the hall at MAWTS that question for a better answer than the guess you would get in this forum

negative, the piece of shίt Nitehawk can lase for LGBs, and the B version has a LDT also a AF buddy has said it's a Litening Pod, so my first guess was wrong.

looked like a LANTRIN pod
