First house was with Countrywide VA Loan.

USAA Mortgage I got a mortgage through USAA no problem for my 2nd home last year. Got a lot more than I could have if I went VA. Good service. Fast overnighting of documents and always just a phone call away. I e-mailed scanned documents and sent jpeg files of documents, no problems. I...

Massive threadjack...but I like where it's going.....

Not related to Rosie Palm are they?....

Hmmmm.... PFCs Benotz and Schmuckatellis..??? sort of stereotyping our young enlisted here aren't we? As an aside: I got married in March by our pastor in our living room and married for the family in August. That was many many moons ago....and still going strong. r/ G

Then don't marry her....and leave her out to dry if you buy the farm. This thread is turning into a luffberry. Potential lock needed. Next you'll flip flop and say if you love her, marry her....my advice is do whatever you want, because you can. Not once did I say get married JUST for...

Spouses get benefits from the Navy should you auger in...fiances and significant others get nothing...but shown the door to your apartment. I've seen this happen and parents of the deceased immediately distanced themselves from the ex-girlfriend. If she's the one, get married asap (like...

Chances are what they heard/felt were other aircraft breaking the number offshore more than 30 miles away. The shock wave can go for a while and you'll feel it hear it. I lived north of NAS Mirmamar for 10 years (just under the Julian 9 dept in fact). Never had anyone break the number in...

It's simple. Married to her...move her. Not married to her...don't. If it was meant to be it will weather it....

See the post http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9658 for hopefully some answers. NFO candidates here at USNA are doing NIFS now. r/ G afternote: Oddly a search for IFS returned no results. Does the search function only look at thread names or content?

I've come very close over the Salton Sea. About 200 feet below sea level. Very deceptive flying over glassy water with a skitzy radalt at MRT. Can get about 500 kts out of a Turkey and easily break the number in min burner in any variant given a short run. As for what's below...it is the...

Back in the day... ...when it was at NAS Miramar....Wednesday night's were awesome...we had a mini F-14 on a 20 foot long track that went into the pool if you f****d up. Had to pull the tailhook release at just the right time or into the drink you went. Not unlike the one at Cubi....

Antiques like me.... It's all good. "Best job I've never had" Looking at retirement now just around the corner...it'll be 22 years 9 months of service...whew... Some pics of some fellow antiques like me.....

Tomcat guy did nothing wrong as he was upright...BUT, the Hornet guy may have exceeded the inverted flight time limitation without having a modifications made to his engine such as the Blues' jets have. As a former Blue he has no problem actually performing inverted flight manuevers with...

Ewwww.... The JO Bunkroom on my first fleet cruise...had two sinks. One was for use as a sink... The other was for midnight runs and during lengthy GQ deep shelter drills...you read between the lines there. Regretfully, I was too senior lineal number wise to live in that dark dank space...

No worries, good comment. Most likely you're right. For the newbies, it does get that specific when you're in flight school. r/ G

In single engine aircraft we call that torque force P-factor. Below is from a google search...can't vouch for the exact techincal aspects. P-Factor is an aerodynamic effect that causes propellor-driven planes to yaw when they are flown at high power and low speed (takeoff and climbout, for...

I had a blue curtained "Time Machine" in my stateroom on the boat. Close the curtains...ta daaaa...8-12 hours later. I think I set a cruise record of 15 hours once...almost hurt myself trying not pee that long... I love reminiscing...oh yeah..get more sleep. What made me so tired all the...

Hang Outs He's too new and wet to know about The Bird Farm, Lovelock, Le Nugget, Stockman's and/or The Oh So Infamous Seeley Club. Can anyone ID all of these? Threadjack for good cause...

Big Words...nothing to back it up... Tell us more words of wisdom....like who you are. Anonymously slamming entire groups of people shows very little spine in my book. How do you stand up? Probably just a pre-pubescent kid with a PC. 'Nuff said.

JDAM and hornets As I recall..... On the Stennis, VMFA-314's F/A-18Cs had a lower max trap as they were deemed heavier than VFA-146 or 147's jets. Max trap with a 2K JDAM for a USMC jet was ~2.8k. They flew a lot of Mode 1s (Case 3) to ensure getting aboard and were given priority in...

Puff Daddy.... So do I..... Threadjack

It's all chest candy... But, if you've earned it, wear it with pride. Why not? However, it's important to remember the only thing that will get you promoted is "sustained superior performance in operational billets." Image below was generated from a cool page 5th Fleet is linked to...

Some info we're putting out to mids at USNA... As directed by the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Manpower and Personnel, the required scores on the ASTB for Navy pilot and NFO have been raised to the following: Pilot: AQR 4/PFAR 5 NFO: AQR 4/FOFAR 5...

Burppp.... Two words.... Refried Beans.

Damn NFOs puking all over the electronics....Do you know it would take 10 200# lard ass NFOs to make one ton of NFOs. That's a lot of NFOs. I got sick on only one hop...in holding in a T-34C over the Flora-Bama waiting for Blues practice to end...blue sky...CAVU...feeling great one...

MIR and JAGMAN In most mishaps....If the crew did not get out safely or ground personnel were injured or killed, rampant speculation is in very poor taste. However, in a fleet squadron you may hear about what might have caused the mishap, etc... and sometimes it becomes the discussion topic...

Concur...I'm guessing the repucussion from this on his career could be a sooner rather than later resignation from him. But to J Q Public, it would appear not much was done. Sort of like officer's punishment with a pun or non-pun letter or reprimand. May not hurt at the time, but it...

I believe that the stars on his shoulders are unfortunately the only reason he could say this and still be in the uniform today.... You or I wouldn't last as long... Imagine a squadron CO saying this in public...BOOM...instant removal for "loss of confidence." r/ G

inverted helos Not that I know of, it's not capable of inverted flight. I'll also ask some very recently in the fleet helo bubbas here at USNA for more verification (Both USMC and USN pilots). But as stated above there are helicoters which are capable of keeping positive g on thier airframe...

Anything left in our CVN ready room (not on your chair) was typically dunked in water and placed in the fridge's freezer at the back of the room. This included jackets, nav bags, g-suits, etc. Coffee mugs were found often to be frozen solid in the freezer with an unknown yellow liquid in...

I'm curious how it got so much damage on what would be the top port side. I would expect the bottom of the bow or dead on to be destroyed pretty much evenly around the circumference of the sub. Or do subs really lean into turns like in the Hunt for Red October? Yes, a dumb question...but...

That thing must be all foam, a battery and a big propellor on a strong electric motor. It flies like it's light as a kite.
