    Getting in to the Academy

    Civil Air Patrol (the organization that runs said orientation flights) has a program that will allow cadets (kids 12 to 21) to earn their PPL at little to no cost. If the PPL is something you're set on, don't take no for an answer. Just thought I'd point that out. In fact, here's a link to the...

    Final Select Purgatory

    That hard limit explains a lot. I definitely exceeded the 6 month limit. It shouldn't be a big deal. My OR said that when they open up the paperwork pipeline again, he's going to try to get them to reconsider me outside of the board, which means I should know by early July since they're allowing...

    Final Select Purgatory

    TBC, how long did it take you to get to the point where you should have been given your FS? I was pro rec'd SNA back in September like you but was held up until early April due to medical issues. I was then told by my OR that I needed to be reconsidered because I had lost my guaranteed slot at...

    Air force ROTC vs. Naval ROTC

    Hey, having played football on astroturf, I can tell you that that stuff ain't all fun and games. I hate it with a passion. :icon_rage :)

    one opinion.. world's top ten air forces

    Did they have a rocket motor installed or did the engine just produce that much thrust? That boggles my mind and sounds like one helluva ride.

    Next Board ~ April 2011

    With all of the talk about waiting, just think how awesome it's going to be the first time you get to put on that uniform. At least that's what I keep telling myself in order to stay motivated.

    Air force ROTC vs. Naval ROTC

    I don't understand this question. Are you asking if you should forego ROTC altogether? In order to become an officer you must graduate from either an ROTC program, OCS/OTS, or a service academy; so unless you already know you want to do OCS/OTS or want to go to one of the academies, ROTC is your...

    Going to try for another waiver

    It really depends upon the MEPS doctor and how much documentation you can provide them. I was in a similar situation as you, but I lacked a lot of the documentation that they required which made them drag everything out and send me to a psychiatrist for an outside consultation. If you're...

    Pilot to SEAL?

    Wasn't asking for rep. It's a forum game on SOCnet, where if you can reference two thread topics in one post you get cross-thread points. The points mean nothing but it's a fun, little inside joke.

    Pilot to SEAL?

    I'm just saying the guys on SOCnet don't suffer fools, posers, or the folks who don't use the search button lightly. Besides, you aren't as curmudgeonly as some. Are there cross-forum points? :)
  12. AllAmerican75

    Pilot to SEAL?

    These guys can answer all the questions you could ever have about SEALs: SOCnet. I suggest searching the boards and lurking for a while, as they can be a bit curmudgeonly at times. Other than that, best of luck. :)

    Dangerous? What's this about? Does it mean I have to ORM my workout?

    Going to try for another waiver

    Having just gone through the waiver process, I can tell you that you're going to want to have as much documentation concerning your condition as humanly possible. Also, expect to be waiting for quite some time to go to OCS.

    That's why I -- and 99% of the other holders I know -- got my CCW permit. Too bad it's such a hassle to actually carry concealed.

    Would anybody be interested in a TBM-3? Only a measly $240,000. :D http://www.trade-a-plane.com/detail/Single+Engine+Piston/Grumman/TBM-3+Avenger/1243547.html I spied some P-51s for sale as well, but good googly-moogly were they expensive. The median price seemed to be about $2.5 mil. :eek:

    Do you receive an OCS Class Ring after commissioning?

    Not at this time. I'm just curious, is all. Honestly, depending upon the age range of most of your buddies, typically the Alumni between 30 and 50 don't really wear their rings. And then all of a sudden, they get old and start wearing them, almost like a mid-life crisis or something. It's...

    Do you receive an OCS Class Ring after commissioning?

    You ain't kidding. At least I'll be prepared for the crushing boredom of cruise. :D I believed you, Flash, I just don't know anybody whose done it. You wouldn't by chance happen to know the name of the company would you?

    Do you receive an OCS Class Ring after commissioning?

    I haven't met a single one who's reduced the size; hell, I didn't even know the company existed. Considering that the huge rings have only been available since the mid-90s, I don't think there are many who even have this problem. Again, I don't really care that much. The big ring is pretty...

    Updated list of things to bring?

    Hey man, VMI was shitty and we still had our laundry done for us. :D Either way, I just want to make sure I bring enough gear to get me through, because nothing sucks more than having to wear nasty, sweaty tighty-whities three days in a row.

    A few questions

    I don't know why, but this is one of the funniest things I've seen all day. KBay, rep to you.
  28. AllAmerican75

    Updated list of things to bring?

    How often is laundry? Do you turn your nasty clothes in to have base laundry do them or are there a bank of washers/dryers somewhere in the barracks? I'd assume it gets pretty grody during those first three weeks without laundry.

    Do you receive an OCS Class Ring after commissioning?

    Actually, we flip-flop between Jostens and Balfour. Right now it's a Jostens operation. Hey, you guys have a top-notch football team, let us have our giant, baller rings. Is nothing sacred anymore? ;) But seriously, I love the way people who are unfamiliar with VMI stare at the ring. Just...

    I think you still need them to wear under khakis, SDBs, etc. Just my guess.

    They let you VPI bubbas have the 44? Blasphemy! Heresy! ;)

    Do you receive an OCS Class Ring after commissioning?

    That's too bad. I knew it was a good deal, but I didn't know it was that good of a deal. I feel your pain. If I ever lost mine it'd cost me nearly $3000 to replace.
  33. AllAmerican75

    Do you receive an OCS Class Ring after commissioning?

    Do you guys have a free replacement policy with the manufacturer? I know if I were to ever part ways with my ring in any way, all I have to do is call our Alumni Association and I get one free replacement. It might be worth it to call the manufacturer and see as I'm sure that they'd have a...

    Civil Air Patrol

    You are definitely not too old. It all depends upon how much time you're willing to commit. At the very least, you could earn your pilot's license before you graduate high school. As a former cadet and current senior member, I highly recommend CAP for anyone interested in serving their community...

    The Great, Constantly Changing Picture Gallery

    Very cool. That makes sense, because I remember watching that USAF T-34 make a quick stop one afternoon at an airport I was doing Civil Air Patrol stuff on. I wish I could remember the name of the airport, it was really nice. I do know that it was around the Los Angeles area.

    Civilian Maritime Tailhook Aviation

    Being a member of the unwashed, I'm not privy to some of the inside details but what was the reason for ditching the S-3 as an organic tanker? Was it just parts/supply/maintenance/logistics money or was there something else? It would seem like just deploying one or two US-3s to a carrier --...

    It sounds like you're core might be weak or under-conditioned. Perhaps try incorporating more abs/core/back work or squats.

    OR limitiing options? advice appreciated, thanks!

    Have you tried contacting the head of the NRD specifically? Or asked the NUPOC OR if he knows a good non-NUPOC guy/gal? Also, the VMI NROTC Department originally set me up with the Officer Recruiters in Richmond. I gave them a call and they hooked me up with a recruiter to suit my needs. So you...

    OR limitiing options? advice appreciated, thanks!

    Sapper, if I understand correctly, you are a Junior in college, correct? Right now, as you may have surmised from reading the boards, the Navy is cutting back on OCS accessions, which means that BDCP is closed until some undetermined date and regular Direct Accession (no scholarship) slots are...

    Personal Question About Personality Disorder Waiver

    Ladies & Gentlemen, Good news! I have just heard back from my recruiter and he has said that BUMED/M3M has cleared me for military service. He has said, however, that NAMI may have some more hoops for me to jump through at some point. But for now I have to go through the rigmarole of having my...

    Boards on Hold?!?

    Just because your son scored in the top brackets on the ASTB, does not guarantee him a slot with the Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard. Also, where did you hear that the boards were closed? By coming into this thread and stating so absolutely that the boards are closed with no sources cited, you...

    Navy OCS - Hiring Freeze

    It all depends upon what your son is applying for and the needs of the Navy. At this moment, the majority of the selection boards are on hold for an indefinite period of time. The best advice is for him to put his package in as soon as possible so that he can have reviewed at the next board...

    Quick Enginerd Question: Isn't compressor stall a bad thing?

So, is a small amount of compressor stall during flight a normal thing? If so, do...
