    Prior Army Ranger, horrible GPA

    Why not try for an Army commissioning program? For one thing...you are going to have problems with your age for SNA/SNFO....amongst other "issues."

    Advice on improving my odds of getting a pilot slot

    Just a 3.96... Lots of room for improvement there! Work on that last .04 right now. Sounds like you're doing fine.

    Another "praise the Raptor" article

    Good stuff: Like the old navy joke...they crossed the date line and the jet went into Phase while we were flying it...oh crap. We used to lament that the engines would quit and all the panels would pop open in flight. :) We had similar software problems in the F-14D. No MAGVAR tables...

    Medical

    Unless it's a HUGE cavity! I had a small loos e fliiling re-drilled at Miramar once. I had an ACM hop that afternoon...if they used novacaine, I'd have been down for 24 hours. I looked at the dentist and told him to just drill it. He did. Not fun, but had a great hop that afternoon.

    What the heck kind of flamethrower powder they used for that pic...I have no idea. Took the Glock 23C to the range today and broke it in with 100 rounds of .40 SW. I purchased this before I deployed to Bahrain and it has sat in the gun safe for 18 months NIB. I was very surprised at how it...

    Tomcat crew in mid 80's launched on Alert 5. As we were EMCON they were using a SINS cable, no RF. The cable got pulled early and the INS dumped...pilot insisted they launch or Brand X would go first. They got hopelessly lost about 400 miles from the boat. New RIO call sign: Magellan. An A-7...

    First gun, CCW

    Take several firearms courses, learn/know the gun laws cold where you are, be safe and practice a lot. If you step over the line, YOU will be arrested. Hearing something from someone once somewhere will get you arrested. Go to a range that rents handguns. Try several. Explain what you are...

    US Flag

    Yes. But did not eat there...instead went next door to Boston Market with the wife and kids. :) Most likely it was wind that did this from a recent storm we had. Of the six flags on their roof. Five were in similarly sad shape. :(

    Why pick Kappa Pi Sigma as your name if you support KP and have a child there? I thought that was another way of saying "Kings Point Sucks."

    Mike, it's great you have a hobby collecting ejection information. But for our purposes (wrt Naval aviators and NFOs) the data you seek on ejections is already collated and used by our Naval Safety Center to improve our ejection survivability and to ammend our NATOPS manuals. Our Safety Center...

    Good recovery

    Watch it again closely...to me (and I'm a jet guy) it looks like he clipped his own tail rotor...you can see it (the tail rotor) spinning and flapping around. Maybe causng the rotation prior to setting it down (full off collective???). I got no idea what the heck I'm talking about now... :eek...

    USNA--Change Course?

    Our former CNO (ADM Clark) wanted USNA to be at a minimum 60% Engineering and 40% Humm/SS majors in each graduating class. Reason was our weapons systems are getting more complicated and we need more engineers amongst our officer ranks.
