There is a study guide for the ASTB put out by the Marine Corps, colloquially known as the "Marine guide". It's the same one as the one linked to at the stick at the top of the ASTB forum.

Korean title Tae Guk Gi; it's an incredible movie, i think. Comparable to SPR in many ways.

the mech gouge link's fixed.

Thanks, I've had that up for a month and sent it to several candidates and nobody's mentioned the dead mechanical link. Haven't seen the "how to be a pilot", but I liked the Pilot's Handbook.

www.columbia.edu/~mmx1/astb Math is SAT level, a good SAT prep book should cover the material (I'm partial to Barron's). The Physics is, similarly, about the level of the Physics SAT II, though primarily focused on mechanics. Browse through the book before you buy it to make sure has review...

give marineocs.com a shot. There's a "who's shipping out this summer" thread (or several).

www.columbia.edu/~mmx1/astb The first pdf linked to is the "Marine Guide", so called because the Marine Corps puts it out. It's good for anyone taking the ASTB.

Assuming you're referring to the gouge posted in the gouge section here, titled "ASTB Prep Test": 28: Let C = # of captains B = # of 1st Lieutenants A = # of 2nd Lieutenants The info given states that: B + A = 30 A + C = 45 C + B = 35 and asks for A+B+C The easiest way to get it is...

Huh.... I'm 3 years younger and I remember them.

accepted Friday to PLC-C Air from the 4/27 board Columbia University Major: Mathematics GPA: 3.79 PFT: 229 (14/92/23:27) ASTB: 9/9 LOR: all civilian - two strong recs from profs and two from the supervisors at my part-time job, plus boilerplate from my Dean.

I'm trying to put together my gear for OCS and I'm having trouble finding three things online: boot bands gatorade mix waterproof notepad I'm finding them via google, anyone know a good one-stop place or a reputable dealer for these items? I've decided against getting skivvies and pt...

Nor does the F-16 have those mirrors on the front bows (though I believe they have them mounted in the cockpit.

When the pilot's got his hand up on the handle, does he let go of the stick or does he have his left hand on the stick?

Anyone hear news from the NE (District 1) 4/27 board yet? The wait's killing me.

Well, stable like they won't turn around and sell a copy to the Chinese to reverse engineer. I can think of two or three countries who've stabbed us in the back in that regard.....

It's only more advanced in that the ones in our inventory were built a decade ago, and we aren't buying anymore. For example, the last US purchases of the F-16 were block 50/52 - we opted not to purchase the 60/62 Block, which the UAE is buying. We have F-22's rolling off the assembly line...

There's also stopping their strikers from getting to us.

Shoplifting? What?

Lol, ARFCOM! Any other members on here? You won't shoot for a score until TBS, see if your OSO will put together a trip to a local base to get some range time. Mine had us go to the Garden City Reserve Base and got us some time and instruction on the rifle simulator there. Ashamed to say...

Marine aviators do B-billets between fleet deployments - FAC, instructor, etc. Dunno if the Navy does a similar thing but I'm sure the options are quite different between the services. That and unless you're flying hornets or prowlers, I'm sure the deployments are different as well.

That actually looks like a dr pepper. What I heard is that she was assigned to an airborne unit, and regs are now that all members of the unit can wear the beret as it's a uniform item.

I believe the STOVL F-35's for the Air Force are intended to replace the A-10.

My friends in District One, the Northeast, have yet to hear from the 4/12 board. I just missed it and am submitting for the 26th.

Short version: VIP trip, pilot does a roll, failure of communication with back seat, VIP reaches for something to hold on to....the ejection handle. The ejection can be set to both or only yourself. For VIP's...it's not both.

If it hurts bad, like when you walk, you MUST rest it and let it heal. My OSO explained it to me as a tear, and if you run through it it'll aggravate. The remedy is RICE = Rest Ice Compression Elevation. If/when it'l fairly minor, then get on the elliptical machine. It'll work your cardio...

i put together a study guide for my OSO, it has links to study gouges you should use www.columbia.edu/~mmx1/astb Other folks, let me know if there are improvements you think I can make. I'll incorprate some of Geese's advice when I get a chance.

The 1st MCD had an article about a Harvard undergrad who's enlisting so he can see the enlisted side before going to OCS. That's hardcore. There's two Columbia air (and two ground), and a handful of Yale PLC guys, as well as one Cornell grad here who went OCC. We'd probably have more if...

I had a similar experience as T-man. Walked in my OSO's office in January unable to do a single pullup and unable to run a mile. My PFT was pretty well under 100 back then as well. I worked at it hard and finally passed my pft yesterday with a 229. Did you get your shoes at a running store...

I've typically been doing about half or slightly less than half my max set as a training set. E.g. max 12, training sets of 5.

Congrats to both you guys. Gj.

Thanks for the advice folks.

I'm a math major. Had been planning to go to grad school but decided at the last minute I was not going to fit in in academia. Joining the Corps is in part fulfilling a childhood fascination with aviation. I'd go for a ME or EE degree, but that'd involve another two years in undergrad. As far as...

Yea, I figred as much. That's why i run in the park instead of the gym. Have the relative privacy to hack away without 20 other ppl getting offended. No, I'm a math major, not pre-med. My last biology course was in 9th grade.

How do I alleviate dry heaves? I get them every time I run, regardless of whether or not I eat. On a good day, I run through them. On a bad day, it's very demoralizing. I'll admit to being in rather poor aerobic shape. Is that what's causing it?

the gouge I was talking about is here, in the second post down. http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5804 You know there's an ASTB forum here too, right? ;-) Go thorough that, folks have posted pointers and their own study guides in there. Those helped me a lot. Go to the...

Spatial is all about getting the questions fast. You should be able to do them in 30-40 seconds, since you have 15 minutes for 30 of them. It sucks that you can't write on the exam; it'd make eliminating choices much easier. There are four things to look for: 1. direction of bank - to right or...

no prob, thanks for the advice. Thing is, I've only known my OSO for two months and I'm not wholly sure how forthright they are with me about my chances, and if that's why they're so vague on dates and stuff, or if they're genuinely swamped. Not pointing any fingers, I think my OSO and OSA are...

this one? http://www.ocs.usmc.mil/ class dates are listed, but no board dates that I cauld find

When are the remaining boards for PLC06-Combined? I failed to get my pft over 225 for the March board, and I'm wondering how much time I have left. The rest of my package is complete and fairly strong, but I let myself get weak in college and am paying for it now. I'm a junior, so if I...
