"Gun of the Month"...I love the concept!!!!!!

I've been with NFCU since 1981 as a checking and savings bank. I pay all my insurance bills and do investments with USAA, member since 1983. I'd say it's a toss up. BUt would probably go with USAA if I had to do it all over again due to the ATM fee rebates.

HM2 excellent first couple of posts. Thanks for the info on the Nursing Officer programs.

Does he claim to be a general or admiral?

Enterprise (2x): 2-134-8L second deck...six man...hot as heck...sucked Lincoln (1x): 03-92-4L 2 man...very near the #2 JBD on the O-3 level...could be loud...local to everything a JO needs Vinson (1x): 2 man...02 somewhere on port inboard side...called sleepy hollow...for a reason..nice Stennis...

I did 2.5 years on the John C. Stennis...had a great room. 3rd deck under the officer's wardroom...quiet and cold.

Communications Materials Security...you account for the issue, storage, handling and destruction of all classified crypto gear and code.

Worst: CMS custodian... You do the job perfectly...nobody notices. Your screw up one time...NCIS is called.

It's called www.youtube.com

Thus the lackluster response....I concur.

Sounds like a great idea. Recognition of the earliest symptoms of hypoxia can save lives. I lost two squadronmates to a hypoxia related mishap.

Now that was an impressive landing for the camera.

The pistol is an old Rohm SA 22LR. Bought it and a Marlin Model 60 rifle used for $40.

Took my daughter to the range this weekend. Although she shoots on a NRA Jr Rifle team with 22LRs, this was her first time with a pistol. She hit everything she aimed at. I was impressed. And at just age 10.

You can end up flying an F/A-18E all based on the nod of a CAPT. But it requires an Admiral to okay people to enter the nuke power program. That kind of senior intrusive leadership is a big reason why I believe so many nuke power Officers bail after their initial committment. It makes it...

Sidesticks...very nice. Is a pretty advanced a/c for someone with 88 hours total. How many since he got his SEL. 30? Or describe it in the promoting way the NY press does it "He had amassed over 80 hours of pilot in command time." ooooohhhh ahhhhhhh Too much money, too much toy. :(

Feathers??

We used Mode I ACLS approachs to ensure our Hornets got aboard first pass during OEF in Afgnaistan. This was on the Stennis. If they brought back a JDAM, they were Trick or Treat on the ball first pass. It counted for night currency, but pilot did not get the grade for his landing average...

The blues fly mostly stock F/A-18s. Only mods are smoke system, inverted fuel and oil systems and ejection seat harness that is integral to the seat.

Attached is from the Naval Personnel Command. This is from an aviation detailer and shows a "typical" career progression as it exists today. Between each block, could be a potential move... r/ G

This part doesn't shout motivated at me.

"Wedge"...the first tool. See: http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/media/approach/whatsyourcallsign/default.htm for lots more good callsigns.... My favorite...and a friend of mine: LCdr. Dave "Itchy" Kunsky (EA-6B pilot, former Ass’t. Strike Ops O on USS Carl Vinson) r/ G

Amazing that either of the aircraft made it. I'm curious if the pilots saw the other aircraft prior to the mid-air? Certainly an interesting tale from the perspective of the passenger. Article and a video can be found at...

I flew a sortie in the FRS with a student pilot in the Tomcat. On our descent from 16k over Vulcan Mtn to the break he began to experience pain in his ear. He equated it to a hot poker in the eardrum. Ouch. The lower we went, the worse it got. So I requested a level off and small climb...

This is what you may be issued....in clear lenses.

This is a military aviation in general forum. If you want sensitive feel good Oprah-like advice. You've probably come to the wrong place. My .02, take it or leave it.

Not aviation related.

A check "suitable for framing"...and nothing more.

That's some good advice...seriously. r/ G

Left bicep pocket: Foamy ear plugs Left bicep pen holder: pen and pencil under flap Left chest pocket: thin wallet Right chest pocket: nothing Left calf pocket: Cover right calf pocket: nothing any other pockets: nothing

Sorry, spent most of video laughing at pencil neck geek investigative reporter.

I thought to rapell you needed to bounce off something like a cliff face or building? The second image shows a guy just hanging there below the deck hangar ceiling.

Push the helo up the edge of an elevator and practice fastroping down to the lowered elevator. I've never seen this, is it common? (found on www.news.navy.mil) 060916-N-6688R-002 Pacific Ocean (Sept. 16, 2006) - A Marine with Echo Company assigned to 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU)...

Sad to see it go...no,it's time has come and gone... r/ An old Tomcat guy.

Actually I know of one...his callsign is "Famous." He started out as a pilot and did the whole F-14 FRS. DQ'd at the boat with his 1310 pilot wings on. Went back through and was redesignated an NFO.

It's give and take my friend. If you don't take the time to write a quality post, to include correct spelling, why should I bother to reply with one. Good Luck.

I would think the current active MOS would be on the top. I knew a USMC F-4 driver who was a former F-4 NFO. He wore his pilot wings on top as he flew in that capacity.

Having served on officer selection boards, I can tell you most applications will not get a second look if peppered in spelling/grammatical errors. First impressions mean a lot when you are just another pile of papers in a stack.

I hope you spell check your applications. Attention to detail.

What the heck is a "stip bar" ???? Some SWO thing I suppose...

Dude, You brought exactly that up for microscopic examination and comment....so don't knock the remarks. G

Nice image: You can insert the picture as well by cutting and pasting the IMG html tag as I did below. r/ G

I bought a pair in Dubai for about $175. (thus the great price) I wear them all the time. You could possibly hook up with someone deployed on this forum and get some from overseas and have them mailed to you. My wife has a set of mini wings with a diamond on a chain around her neck, she...

Original unit cost $295,000 Paying a scrap company $12,000 to get rid of them Economics?

Sorry, can't help you with that... that's higher math...

I used that for my entire year in Bahrain. It had the time portrayed in a donut graphic...."The Donut of Pain" or "Toroid of Pain" as we called it. Oddly the SWOS liked the donut reference best. Cheers, G

Had a company officer show me a Myspace page today of some plebes chugging 16 oz beers before a debutante ball. Looks pretty incriminating if someone were to report it. Then it becomes... "The World's Largest Frying Pan"
