    ON the beach

    If you are an SNA and you live on Perdido Key...you will shoot yourself for the having to do the drive to Whiting every day if you end up there. And if you get Whiting for Primary, you can't break a lease as it's a local PCS not > 50 miles away. Consider your commute. Drive the route you...

    You're being sarcastic, right? Service ceiling of the F-14 was (and for few more months still is) 50,000 feet. What squadron in DS were you in?

    Portable GPS devices

    I use a Garmin Streetpilot. We swap it between our cars. The new ones are better as they have a GB drive with all North American maps contained within. I'd recommend dropping about $650 for a Garmin Streetpilot (newer version). Well worth the cost.

    Saluting Mids

    We have lots of coalition folks here in C5F. So sometimes trying to figure rank and whether or not to salute is not easy. My rule of thumb is when in doubt, salute, while it may not be required for a coalition warrant for example, it helps build relationships with our allies. I make a point...

    ultra thin/flat ribbons and medals

    I followed my 3 stars lead...in wash khakis I wore no ribbons, just wings and a nametag. In whites or Gaberdine (dress) khaki he would only wear the top three. I did the same. Sometime I'd wear all 5+ rows...but rarely and usually only for formal occasions. Never had any hearburn over that.

    If you resubmit your application, you control the game this time. You have a job, which provides security, so if you get the contract you want, you sign, if not, you're still set up okay in the civilian sector. I'd say resubmit, you have nothing to lose if this is what you want to do. r/ G
