It all comes down to training. I shoot IDPA on weekends. I can tell you my handgun skills have gone up a lot. Whatever you do..IDPA, IPSC, GSSF, etc., just do it and you can only get better. Glock Perfection: And my favorites: my G19 and G23 combo...same size, different flavors (9mm or...

Here's one from the HMFIC at USNA that shows he cares.

Six months of "Sear school"... Count me in... So it would bother you if you knew you got accepted into the service you applied for because you were female? Easy solution...don't ask the question.

Concur...sounds like the whole OPSEC training brief presentation thing was a mistake in many ways for the USAF.

Couldn't you do essentially the same thing here, in this forum? Coming off a bit commanding to "real live actual naval officers" aren't we?

Did you notice Eric H's name in there?

In the F-14, multiple aileron rolls were a prohibited manuever. One aileron roll and a pause, then another and a pause, etc., were okay ... If you do multiple the nose can just start to go on you. What happened to that Hornet could happen in an F-14 even under normal g loading. Nasty...

This thread is worthless without pics....

Restored???...leave them the way they are.

saw this today...

Isn't that an earlier shot of "Fatty McButterpants" the mall ninja we had a pic of a while back with airsoft guns?

While I was in Bahrain, the King's son, the Prince and all of 15 yeards old, killled himself driving his crown vic at some ridiculous speed approaching 140 mph on local highways. He did not have a driver's license and was with a bodyguard who was supposed to be driving. The press reported...

So it's not the shit in a bag, ferment it and huff it stuff, is it??? Do they make tea out of the leaves?

Zero recoil.

After living in the Arab culture for a year, accidents like that don't surprise me at all. They all drive amazingly recklessly and with an "I'm above the law" attitude.

My new favorite AW coined phrase.... Thank you villanelle

"This is my O-Face...Oh, Oh, Oh..." or "If looks could kill!" She looks just a wee bit upset...

Good job! Well deserved.

I was a senior FRS instructor qualified in all phases at 101. I used to go fly with a friend who was a T-34C spotter pilot and F-14 pilot. Since I was/am SEL Instrument rated, he'd let me fly the whole hop, including a practice instrument approach or two as needed. Good times...

It's a pretty damning JAGMAN.

I've taken a T-34C out of Miramar and just gone VFR to the east and done T&Gs at Big Bear Airport when I was in VF-101. So I guess it could be done. Who initiated the search you went on? FAA or USN? Was he overdue for his arrival time would be questions I'd ask?

Whatever is known is most likely close hold.

You should see me in my trick FUBU gear. Word. :icon_smil

Isn't all of this detailed in the Navy Flag Regulations, Navy NTP-13B. Good stuff here: http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html

Hey, you gotta stop by my puka, too...I'm in 5H393. r/ Schnugg

I lived under the flight path for South Weymouth NAS. It was an A-4 and P-3 base at the time. My best memories as a kid in the early 70's were the Blues flying F-4 Phantoms over my house during the show. I remember saying I want to do that...never got into Phantoms, but F-14s sufficed.

What are the chances...I had mine in San Diego as well. Bevo...it's Iceland...who cares, they're drunk all the time there as it stands.

Now if he was in a small helicopter....???

Is that Capt John "Woody" Wood standing there looking at the wreckage....that or his evil twin. I worked with him at C5F in Bahrain for a year.

So he wrapped his support hand around the cylinder on a revolver to shoot it??? That's asking for trouble there if it's not a single shot .600.

I can with 100% absolute certainty assure you that this rumor is indeed going around. . . . . . As to it's veracity??? :confused: Navy rumors: pass every one along expeditiously, believe none of them.

He did the right thing by going around...must have been a fun ride.

I wish I'd taken pictures of that cubi cat rig now...but at the time you just lived it and...wow...what a time.

Not something I recommend you participate in while in flight school. The ORM matrix for it would be quite short.

When I read this...I started thinking about the old far Side cartoon with the two bears viewed through a rifle scope: The first bear has a bullseye shaped birthmark on his chest...and the second bear is pointing at him.

HJ, Wasn't that the now infamous "CIA PSU" acro that but them?

Ahhh yes, "The Super Spare"...an enviable spare almost sure to go flying.

So we don't look like a supply officer wearing a large manilla envelope on his head. (I've seen it, it wasn't pretty.)

This is how they usually travel...in pairs...one okay looking and the other...well...you can see those thighs for yourself in the video clip. Definetly over inflated egos...amongst other things.

Prices for the stuff being used in Iraq have gone up...I'll give you one guess where all the .223 / 5.56 is going? Others calibers have shown smaller increases in price due to rising lead costs amongst other economic reasons.

Always bet on black...unless your taxes are involved.

Nice cruise video.

So you're afraid to fly...afraid to drive in a friends car...afraid to walk down the street (I added that one :D)...that's no way to go through life. Seek professional help now. But to steer clear of aviation ...heck no...You should aim to be an NFO in F/A-18Fs.

That was T-Bird right? Nasty mishap IIRC. I got winged in Aug 87.

I lost mine in a murky swimming pool during a post-CQ bash. There were nip bottles of tequila and vodka tied onto balloons floating around the pool that you could grab and consume....so we did...(hic). Everyone (including dates) ended up getting tossed into the pool before the night was done...

I got 100 hours in the T-47A when I went through. What a sweet ride...a pure X/C machine. P'Cola to Brunswick on one bag of gas IIRC.

Not always the case. On my 2000 cruise on the the John C Stennis, our C-2s carrier qualified day and night. They didn't carry pax at night, but did accept post sunset cat shots and some night traps to stay current all through deployment. Got us a lot more cargo transfered after daylight...

This answers some of the implied questions you posed regarding when the rules may not apply. From the Super Hornet NFM.

I'm still not doing your paper for you.

From your profile.... Quid pro quo....we need something from you to start with here....
