    Good bank while in Service

    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.

    So, who wants to date my daughter?

    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.

    Nuclear Officer Interviews

    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...

    Manhattan aviation accident...

    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. :(

    Auto Carrier Landings?

    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...

    Sinus problems

    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...

    Uniform Regs

    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.

    Uniform Regs

    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.
