Same story on the green side. Having your squadron doc asking for them with/for you is a handy arrow to put in your quiver.

I would argue that it would be easier to find better information by just referencing the regs. Also, one may then have a leg to stand on instead of "___________from this website said..." I suppose I should have added poor use of time in there lacking initiaive and lazy. Personally, I'd be wary...

My REAL EXPERIENCE makes me skeptical of folks like you that seemingly want to be a Marine but make effort to distance themselves as far as possible from what Marines actually exist to do...conduct combined arms operations. That, coupled with an entire thread about tattoos in lieu 'how do I best...

Perhaps you can get a sweet aviation supply or adjutant cool-guy badass tatty. I'm thinking "Death before 12 pt Times New Roman" with a skull and cross-keyboards or something of the like. You may want to re-evaluate why you want to join the Corps if shit like this is really that important to you.

Google "pet friendly hotels" and you will ultimately find a site that lists what's around where you want to be. I did this when travelling with my two Danes but have since lost the money site I had found.

Finkle, RIP, Bruthaman. I'll miss the good times we had out and about as well as in the squadrons spaces. Until next time... Cheers, Teabag

This may rank as the most retarded thing I've heard of in at least two months. Just because you can put guns on something doesn't necessarily mean it's a good platform to host them. The Osprey owes it survival to speed decreasing it's susceptability (to taking fire) and I find it hard to...

My Corps doesn't care much for folks with thin skin. Stay in the AF.

While I agree that the NATOPS folks have a somewhat limited command of english they DO have the definition of what the terms mean in the front for those that can't get it. For the DH v DA debate I think it comes down to standardization and slight technical differences. At the end of the day...

Nope. Just being professional and not settling for being AFU.

Not that it's the same basket but still nice... A couple from a few years ago. Big Iron on the hose

...and helos don't have all the RADALTs...as in the powers that be decided to let other a/c have them too!!! Even the KC-130F's have 'em.

I think the MV-22 community should roll with this...it's pure gold.

^^^^^ Wow, not a single wheel on the MV-22 touching paint...sucks to choke on camera!!!

How is this thread into page 3 and still called "Heavy Iron?" Is that a Navy thing or should this be corrected to Big Iron? I know, details...

Spent a lot of time at TBS and around Marine squadrons, huh? Having done TBS, Marine squadrons, and now a Navy squadron I think I qualify to tell you that you don't know jack OR shit about Marine aviation or TBS. Whew! That said, you're right about the homos that try the fire team shit...but...

It isn't really an issue of not having time... It IS an issue of keeping aircraft maintained and getting work done IOT meet the flight schedule. Maintenance is a 24-hour operation and it is retarded to hinder those guys any more than necessary.

I "hear" that leave is denied for anybody that chooses not to use proper spelling and punctuation.

Nope...not that either.

I'm unaware AFSOC doing anything to advance Marine 53s...E's or D's. Other than the 53J sharing a common airframe with the 53D and having the same genral shape there isn't much in common between the two. It even had different engines...the one's the D's are just getting now. Different ASE...

Current and hopeful clown-footed Marines, I have a pair of 11 1/2 EE Danner Temperate Boots that have only been worn for 1 day indoors as a result of travelling to a meeting minus an important uniform item. I would love to keep these but the "EE" part just isn't working out (I even put new...

Wholeheartedly agree with Stearman. Some people are just going to do dumb shit. One part of the key to this whole flyin' biz is knowing your limitations and not f'ing it up...this little tidbit applies to everywhere from in the bar, to the squadron, to the cockpit. The other part is not being...

^^^^I think you MEAN to say that you can achieve visual acuity of 20/25 with the ANVIS 9's under ideal circumstances.

When you do it for real the wires may/may not be on the map. The may even be painted to match the countryside. These ones are on the map.

Should they get rid of the wires in all of the other countries we fly in? Or how about the areas we haven't ever flown into but may HAVE to? I'm dumber for reading that. Remember, train as you fight.

^^ They'll still be HMH's.

He is talking about Helmand and they still call it ANP hill...or at least did last fall.

Utilization of capital letters and proper punctuation also may lend to some of us taking you a bit more seriously.

Dude, don't worry about the deployment cycle as nobody's guess means jack shit. The best you can do do is plan for the worst case and be pleasantly surprised if it's better. So far as the eye-gouging is concerned you really don't have much of a choice, per se. You would then fill out a 'dream...

I know a few that immediately spring to mind. One was a great pilot and definitely not a 'tard but was subsequently fried after a mishap (a LOT of politics in that one), two were just lackluster performers (due to either lack of skills, proper motivation, or both), and one for a lack of flight...

That's a good point too. For you helo guys out there, do you ever get tired of having someone looking over your shoulder? Absolutely not!!! Much of what is done in helos requires the entire crew. For example, dusty landings or externals where one person has reference isn't rare. I wouldn't...

Your OSO has no idea what the deployment cycle might be by the time you would hit the fleet...neither do I or anybody else. Anybody that says they do is talking out thier ass. Also, be mindful that your service obligation-clock as a pilot starts when you get winged - not when you get...

Apparently, PQM is what I was referring to. I'll stick with my skill set and not talk out my ass about things I think I remember like skid crews.

I agree. Despite staying aboard a sinking ship this dude was originally just simply trying to make a point based on a question on the first page...why the seats are labeled such as they are. That then delved into a lecture on ORM (which I think was well intentioned but other wise ill-advised)...

I think the most important question to come out of this is whether or not they would call an extended version the Long Dong Feng? Disclaimer: Yes, I am a child and can't help myself when I hear "dong" in a weapon system.

...or, maybe like us, the aircraft commander sits wherever he deems appropriate depending on whim or what the scheduled mission is.

I don't know if it is possible for me to "heed what he has said" any less. Maybe completely destroying any shred of credibility and trying to teach those who know would be a good little ORM project for him. It would be a startling revelation that if one talks out their ass enough people will...

Wow!!!! There were a few STFU posts during the time it took me to write mine...I must really be retarded. That said, sorry for saying more or less the same (although I think I kept it tame).

I think the operative word in all of this is your 'opinion.' You're certainly entitled to have one but it doesn't mean jack shit until you have some sort of credibility to back it up. It's money that you have actually have an academic background for argument but I'd listen to the experience on...

I really don't think the potential rotation has any bearing what-so-ever as 1) a loss ot tail rotor drive is normally a "YF" emergency without proper celestial positioning, and 2) it is less likely to be a "YF" emergency if you properly execute the emergency procedure which doesn't have a step...

For a Cobra, I believe its an AHC and AHQ vice HAC and H2P...Skidkid can clear this up.

ACL, PCL, and medial meniscus re-construction prior to joining PLC for me. My surgery was good and I have no strength/range of motion problems and was granted a waiver...that was 10 years ago and I've had ZERO problems. You'll get a waiver if your knee is healthy.

Into page two with no Chuck Norris pictures/references????

Don't focus on training for the PFT. Instead, focus on being fit in all areas. My advice is to get used to running for periods of greater than 45 minutes without stopping. Your speed will pick up and soon enough you will find yourself covering a lot of ground in a hour. This doesn't gaurauntee 6...

If flying is your main objective try googling Army Warrant Officer programs. This may save you some time and help direct your follow-on education.

If you don't make the cut at OCS you simply won't be become a Marine Corps officer of any sort until you do (if given that opportunity)...it's that simple.

It is my opinion that the 'friend' in question would be to total chooch for wearing a bag (or other flight duds) unless he/she is in a duty involving flying as a crewmember even if the squadron allows it.

Seedless grapes are money because they are tasty AND leave little to clean up.

I just don't have the words to accurately describe how retarded I think this thread is/will become. I don't even think there is a word for it. I propose this thread is changed to finding the word. By the by, the talk of fruit has made me hungry. Hence, I want to be a produce manager at a...
