    Disability pay

    E-1 plus BAH for your home area. I wasn't paid at consistent intervals; it seemed to be that after each doctor's visit reestablishing my NOE status, I would be paid for the period between doctor's visits; so effectively it was approximately every 30 days. I gave up on reading my LES; I really...

    Lockheed Martin Whistle Blower

    I'm not talking about professors, I'm talking about university administrators who'll sweep EVERYTHING under the rug if they can get away with it. Hell, most universities try to run rape investigations through internal channels so it's not reported in the municipal statistics.

    Lockheed Martin Whistle Blower

    Depending on the institution, not necessarily. In academia, nothing happens without media coverage to light a fire under their pants. Not rationalizing his actions, just giving some perspective. And despite how cheesy it is, it's working; people are talking about it; it's on slashdot. Too...

    Help with a test question?!!

    No need to to substitute. The problem asks for x+y+z. Sum up the three equations, you get 2x + 2y +2z = 110 Divide in half, you get x+y+z=55

    Wall Street Journal Article on Army Boot Camp Changes...

    Holy thread resurrection. While I agree that Boot is different from OCS, isn't the primary mission of boot Indoctrination? To render a civilian fit for the norms of military service. The Corps integrates basic infantry training into Boot, but real occupational training occurs in MCT and their...

    Devil's advocate, but they could use the stealth and range if they were to say go to downtown Tehran. Still, the F-22's overkill for that purpose.

    Your OCS Experience

    Hey, we had a guy run a 25:00 on the intermediate (and get the requisite chit) because he had to make a pit stop in the middle. First week quotes: at Lights out (first week): Good night Staff Sergeant! SSgt, are we taking our guns with us to chow?

    Your OCS Experience

    We had a candidate fail to wake up at reveille. Not refuse to get up, he was a good guy. He just didn't hear it. So, after LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS, we're all on line in PT gear, SI's marching down the aisle. None of his neighbors noticed the blank in the line since we were all locked eyes forward...

    Weighted training (ankle weights, weighted vest, hand weights ets)

    Things to try: Interval training/sprint drills (alternate 200m of sprints with light jogging for whatever distance you're running) Hills (even on a treadmill) similar to the sprint drills, works your VOmax. Pylometric jumps - find a 1-2 foot step or curb and do sets of 20 jumps. You can work...

    Weighted training (ankle weights, weighted vest, hand weights ets)

    If you insist on weights, approximate what you'll be dealing with. Heavy boots; a light pack, and/or running with a 9-lb pole in port arms. Yeah, I run on the track in my gym with a 9lb pilades stick thingy in port arms. What? Edit: Ah, seeing how this is the Navy PRT, not the PFT you may want...

    It's so one of them can be trashed. Must be why they don't put a stick in the back of the Delta Hornets...so there isn't the temptation.

    F-35 Uav

    The problem is, putting a human in there negates most of the advantages of a UCAV. You now have to put in survivability elements that jack up the weight and price. The whole point of UCAV's was that if you designed them from the ground up to not include a pilot, they could be cheaper and...

    F-35 Uav

    That makes utterly no sense. It's overbudget already..... so let's make it even more expensive by making it a UAV. Lockheed's grasping at straws (or buzzwords).

    Head throb while running...happen to anyone else?

    The best measure of hydration is the color of your piss. If it's not clear, you're not drinking enough. Drinking just before a run is not enough.

    World Trade Center

    As a New Yorker, I wasn't originally going to see this. In reading the news coverage, though, it seems like one of the main characters is a former Marine, who rushes to the scene and is the only one in the movie to look forward and express a desire for payback. That may be enough to get my butt...

    ASTB Mechanical Study Materials

    Yes, it is quite sad that the Arco book is the best available; I initially studied out of the Cliffs and found it quite poor (and yes, I did create the review site). I've never taken the AVSAB, so I've only recommended books I'm familiar with (e.g. SAT I/II /GRE), but I imagine the question...

    Schaum's Outlines is just a series of review books for various topics. Haven't seen their physics ones but the math ones are very good. Tension is the same throughout a rope or cable. That's why the pulley works. When you draw the diagram, you find that the vertical force on the block from the...

    ASTB Mechanical Study Materials

    Anything covering up to the high school level is fine. SAT II Physics review books, for example. I've had good experiences with Schaum's outlines. All you want are the concepts. The required computations are not difficult.

    Thanks for posting that. It looks awesome. With all of the TBS LT's at marineocs posting about how much it sucks, it helps to look on the bright side too.
