Sounds like fun. I gotta say, sometimes I enjoy the rough landings and turbulence.

I found this over at a Web Log that I frequent and found it really funny. It was written by an Navy O-6 and former Naval Aviator. http://www.neptunuslex.com/2006/01/23/adversary-course-miramar/

That's not totally true. We still have the ability to perform the same function as the "right-click" . . . . we just have hold down the control key.

A lot of those are in .WMV format. I just got a video iPod and want to put some real motivational vids on there. anybody know where I can find videos in .MOV or .MPG format?

I'm not sure since I have never had access to my medical records. I will say that I was diagnosed because I was having problems in school. The doctor asked me why, and my answer was "I dunno," the typical five-year-old's answer. My parents said I had trouble concentrating in class and my...

I have heard that ADD is an immediate DQ, is that true? The reason I ask is I was misdiagnosed when I was very young, and they(my doctors) put me on a lot, I mean A LOT, of meds for it. I haven't been on them since like 4th grade, and I noticed no difference when I was on the meds to when I...

CMK, Also, since you are in college, see if you can go by the athletic trainer's offices. I'm sure they'd be willing to wrap some ice on your legs. I know I found it hard not flexi-wrapping the bags of ice on my legs, because I couldn't never get the ice to stay where I needed it or have enough...

FlyinSpy, You got any more good speeches like the above? /Threadjack

I went through some bad shin splints last year in the off-season when I was training with the track team. My best advice is to ice the affected area immediately after you do PT for about 20 minutes, and then ice it for 20 minutes sometime in the evening, say while studying or whatnot. Worked for me.

Fill out the NROTC application online. WHen you are done, they will give you a call and set up an appointment for an interview with your OSO. As far as I can tell, you cannot apply for ROTC until the fall of your senior year, so you still have some time to wait.

I know this is probably a stupid question, but why are braces not allowed? What kind of problems do they create, besides aesthetically of course? It seems that the new clear plastic ones are that bad an idea.

Funny everytime. LOL! :D

It ain't just baseball players either. Football players have been known to scratch, or "adjust our pads", and spit too. But then again, maybe it's just expected of us because we're so manly.:D

This is interesting. What about dip/chewing tobacco? From my experiences, it seems as if a lot of guys (seems more in the Army and Marines) dip. Any truth to that?

False Alarm. The email I received was made in error. Will let y'all know when I get the official letter of acceptance.

For one, I found the PSAT to be a lot harder than the SAT. I scored about 200 or so points lower on the PSAT. Second, they will only take the scores from an individual test. it is stated Navy policy that they will not allow to "Mix N' Match" test results. For the 2006 applicants, they are using...

Welcome to the boards. You will be surprised by the number of ROTC applicants, myself included, on here. Best of luck to you.

I'm in the same boat as you. I pissed away my freshman and sophomore years and dreamed of attending the USNA. That hasn't worked out quite as I planned, but when I was rejected the first(and hopefully only) time(knocking on wood and rubbing my lucky rabbit's foot), I applied for an NROTC...

I've heard it mentioned a lot on the site, but what is Per-Diem? Thanks.

Oh, thanks for the info. I don't personally have the photo in my posession, and it's been a while since I've seen it. I remember seeing it in an old book, circa late 1970s-early 1980s about Naval Aviation, so I can't tell you whether or not it was a B or C model. All I remember was thinking that...

The picture was old and in Black & White, so I'm guessing it might not be a T-34C, maybe a B model.

Oh, ok, the pics must have been of some students during one of those fam flights.

Hey I got a question about the Turbo Weenie. I've seen some pictures of guys flying in formation and it seems as if the canopy open; I'm assuming it slides back, like the warplanes of WWII. Is there any truth to this or are my eyes deceiving me?

Thanks for the advice everybody. AW :) Lamp is on and shining brightly.

LOL! :D

It would be much easier to bury a couple warheads than an aircraft though. But what about underground bunkers? I know it's well documented that Saddam had a few, how likely is it that he had a couple that are undocumented and well hidden?

That all looks extremely painful. I feel sorry for the guy.

My doubts aren't all that big. It's just this one little thought lingering in the back of my mind. If you asked me on the street if it's the right thing for me, I'd say "Hell Yes, It's the only thing for me!" But in times of quiet reflection when I'm alone and left to my own devices, I wonder if...

I'm not sure where I should post this one, but here goes. I have been experiencing a lot of doubt lately about going into the military, even though I have been dreaming of doing it ever since I was five or six. The question of whether this is the right decision for me or not has been popping up...

They are not lloking at the new writing section for admissions this year. I believe they are still asking about the writing portion to establish a baseline though. Like most colleges, they still only care about the math and reading/verbal scores. Did anyone take the SAT twice and do worse the...

I took the ACT and got decent scores, and I have also been working hard to raise my grades(for the first time in my life I got straight A's), but he also asked me about my involvement in Civil Air Patrol and Football, and I think that's what really sealed the deal. He thought I was an...

I have just been given a second chance to receive an appointment to the academy. For those unfamiliar with my story, go HERE. I was called up by my congressman's aide responsible for nominations and he asked me if I was still interested, as he had a file on me but had never heard from me. I told...

Thanks.

Awesome! When did he apply, because I checked a couple of days ago and they hadn't yet made a decision, but then again, I applied late Nvember/Early December.

I love Top Gun, too. In fact, it's one of my favorite movies. And I too have the VHS with the Pepsi commercial on it. And yes, Top Gun was one of the influencing factors for me wanting to be a Naval Aviator.

Y'all forgot some of the greatest sketches ever. Da Bears! Go Bears!

I'm sorry, I forgot an adjective. Top Gun is the Chuck Norris of cheesy Navy movies. If we're talking good Navy movies, I'd have to go with say, The Bridge At Toko-Ri(sp?).

.0000000002 % No way is it going to be as good as Top Gun. Top Gun is like the Chuck Norris of Navy movies.

That was great.

Here's a thread I started a while back. Has some interesting stuff if you haven't seen it before. http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12033&highlight=loud+handle Oh, and I got your E-Mail. I'll see what I can do. He doesn't really have an email account and is usually really...

What role is the JSF filling for the Navy? I know it is replacing the F-16 for the USAF and the AV-8 for the USMC.

I understood why the guys who got taped frequently did it, but even some of the guys who didn't tape up shaved their legs. Something about they didn't like leg hair. Alls I know is, shaving your legs, armpits, chest, etc. without having a reall good reason, i.e. you get your ankle taped and...

Wait, there's no hair on the palms of your hands. WTF? . . . . . . .Ooooooooohhhhhhh, now I get it.

I know a bunch of guys on our football team shave their legs. I've always that it was a little odd, and never really understood why.

Thanks. I was hoping I'd get to hear some sea stories, 'cuz my recruiter is a salty Chief, but all I got was a lousy set of questions talking about why I should get the scholarship. But hey no biggie, I'm sure y'all have a bunch of sea stories you'd love to share. I did get to hear the tail end...

Damn you!:icon_rage

I'm sure many men were hoping it was, especially seeing as how she's now all single and all.

Welcome aboard, sir. Looking forward to your insights. . . and sea stories.

Apparently I have to spread reputation around before I give it to Gatordev again. Sorry buddy, but know that the sentiment is there. :)

Man A4s, you've sure have been around the block a few times.
