Ah, my school has ended my student account. Use this for now until I figure out another place to host it. http://marinegouge.com/mediawiki-1.6.6/index.php?title=Aviation_Selection_Test_Battery

3-point slings are standard issue now. We've been using the parade slings up to now, through rifle qual, but we had a 3-point class for Table 2 of the rifle qual, and should be using them on all field ops. The last few companies have.

This atheist thinks someone has a sore pussy.

Parcels, sure. Just know that any packages and envelopes that seem to have stiff items will be opened in front of the staff to check for contraband. Not all the staffs let them keep newspapers, but that's a safe bet to send (or at least clippings) until he gets his first liberty in three weeks...

Well, I sort of lucked out. Cases they judge to be "urgent" get scheduled for a removal during the cycle, preferably before one of our 72's. I was told my teeth aren't going anywhere, so I don't need to get them removed at TBS. He recommended getting it done during Pensacola. The bad news? I...

Thanks for weighing in. I didn't have the time to get tricare prime setup over break, and dental screening is tomorrow, so I'm at the mercy of the U.S. Navy. Bravo company is only overbooked by five at this point so I'm not too worried about getting dropped.

There are Company and Battalion boards which consist of the Company and Battalion staffs, respectively. You only appear before them if they need to consider your status at OCS, which is usually either if you DOR or are having trouble at OCS. If you are recommended by your Platoon Commander for...

Sigh....(@ the Wing Commander's email). I hope he didn't get the ride because of the Major's outburst.

For a Marine flight package, you'd need to take the ASVAB or waive out of it with 1000 or higher on the SAT. This is coming from the OSO I'm on PTAD for, but yes, your OSO is your most reliable source of information.

Here in NY, cans are .05 refund. So..4280 beers for $1000. I.e. quarter beers. I don't think even Natty lite's that cheap.:D

It was kind of strange seeing LT's in Q-town rocking jeans and a t-shirt all the time; then hearing at our Mike Co TBS brief that the attire was to be "identical to OCS". The LT's I'm on PTAD with (one still at TBS, the other just graduated), say the same thing that's being said here - look...

Well, they did so to catch up to Citibank's 5% on their e-savings account. HSBC (for anyone who's keeping track), has a 5.05% right now, though my dad tells me interest rates are plateauing.

Well that settles it; the only thing I was missing from my Citibank/USAA/ING combination was a physical place to deposit checks. Though this Deposit@home feature looks interesting.

I just signed up for the USAA career starter loan, it's currently 2%, 25k, 60 month term. I didn't think about the deposit aspect and might sign up with a third bank with branch coverage. A lot of people have recommended Bank of America because of their coverage; any experiences with them...

Definitely worth a watch. Pros: Quantity and quality of flight scenes Quantity and quality of chicks No gay volleyball scenes No campy 80's music Cons Campy French music Campy B-movie plot Couldn't avoid Top Gun cliche shots. The first flight sequence looked almost identical to the beginning...

It's been released on DVD with the unfortunately less noble name "Sky Fighters". Just rented it; will update later tonight.

Marine OD green is the color and I have two of the shirts. They're comfortable, but bad for field use.......you don't want to get caught in a fire with them on. They're fine in a training environment where you aren't liable to get in an accident. They're issuing a similar shirt in boot camp...

Are wisdom teeth removed as a matter of course after commissioning and is it possible to take care of it while I'm on leave/PTAD? Background: At my flight physical I was told that my wisdom teeth weren't likely to impact (they're turned sideways), but the Marine Corps would take them out...

His profile indicates he was a DI at Navy OCS, not Marine Corps. That'd explain the differences. 2500 words in a night..phew.

Rogue Warrior was interesting; his books were fantasy trash. That and they got kinda repetitive; I stopped after four or five. I see he was an advisor for GI Jane and season 5 of 24. Explains a lot.

7 Days!

Reviews indicated it was a big piece of formulaic cheese. Still going to see it but wish we'd get a good writer once for pete's sake.

bring the phone, stash it in the contraband locker at pickup. Everyone does it.

You still have to tighten it out in the morning; the rack'll be sagged, but you won't have to redo it. Dunno, I slept in sweats under my poncho most of the time I was there (in June! sucks to be next to the fan); as it gets colder I might rethink that.

Eh....what's to stop me from voting that I'm an Admiral? How about letting it be a private profile option? That way the admins can know, and they could compile stats if they desired.

That'd better be a chick.:icon_tong

Only when they release Top Gun II: Maverick succumbs to scientology.

www.columbia.edu/~mmx1/astb/ It's got the breakdown. And yes, the ASTB has separate verbal and math sections, there are 6 in total. The sixth section is a hodgepodge of questions from all the sections.

Huh. We were told in inprocessing to gather up 6.50 each from the platoon to pay for the initial haircut. This was, of course, 189. Not graduating. Everything else is temporary; that will haunt you until you rectify it, which for me has been 14 months and counting. And zugg, you're just...

(x/4) + (x) = (x/4) + (4x/4) = (x+4x)/4 = 5x/4 x - (x/2) = (2x-x)/2 = x/2

Dude, for a guy that hasn't been to TBS you certainly seem eager to bring that up. I'll reserve judgement until February. And yes...I've seen the pics.:eek:

When I wrote, I'd stop when I hit 290 or so and start counting on my fingers so I could hit 300 exactly. Cool. so where did Lance Cpl come from?

It was in fact previously known as the Predator B. Would it make a decent CAS vehicle or would we still want a human more intimately in the loop?

In a word, yes. A recent article about the escort process: http://www.defendamerica.mil/articles/jul2004/a071204a.html

Food for thought: has the wingspan of an F-15 and carries up to 14 hellfires. Can also carry 500lb JDAMS. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123027012 Reaper' moniker given to MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle

Nice. :D

Don't matter if you're driving it or riding it, it's still the short bus.:icon_tong

So I'm a single guy leaving New York for Quantico and then Pensacola....huh. My future looks very rosy.

That's worse than thailand, man. Package check don't work on that wierdo.

You're not going to beat Dell on their volume pricing, if you just want a decent system. However, it is the cheaper way to get hardware that you want if you have eclectic needs. It's also a lot easier and cheaper come upgrade time if you've done the right planning; that is, if you upgrade every...

:eek: Smite the unbeliever!:D

Coming in the fall....that'll be a moto movie to see on libbo.

you get 24 hours of libbo for 6 of your 9 weekends there. However, things like reinspection, remedial ropes, firewatch, and duty company, will cut into your libbo time.

Well, my apologies, I just wanted to clarify and articulate what I found uncomfortable about the site and what I thought was perfectly legitimate (and filling a niche in the space of published gouge). The first three pages of this thread were not very complimentary of the site in very broad...

As I stated, I'm not criticizing his product (even offered that it could be something I'd buy), just his marketing. But the correction is made - that's the difference. Few comments go unscrutinzed here - like mine! I don't see that on Ed's forum, so people are free to speculate without...

As stated in the other thread, as a private tutor I have no problem with charging for gouge. What does bug me is how Mr. Rush is selling a rosy bill of goods about becoming a fighter pilot that glosses over the responsibilities one entails as an officer, or the very likely possibility that they...

Wow, the forum is great. http://www.fighter-pilot.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=177 "Critical fighter pilot thinking?" "Fighter Pilot worldview?" What a tool. I'm starting to think he believes his own BS. ...uhoh...I see a guy named "ghost" on there. Is that our long lost friend?

Wasn't there a veggieburger in the boxed nasties?

That was really the be-all and end-all of flight sims. There are maybe a few hundred people for whom you could noticeably improve Falcon 4, other than in the graphics. It's a shame; there's few other good sims; no recent ones for the Hornet or any attack helicopters (having trouble finding...
