Good point, I thought this applied more towards using your handloaded ammo for self defense. But you never can underestimate the stupidity of the average American.

Go over to the GlockTalk forum and do some searches. This topic has been covered extensively there as well. That forum is a great resource for all things Glock. That said, I'd go w/ the 21. It's definetly a proven pistol and they have a new version, the 21SF (short frame) out there now. It...

Don't waste your time with the running total. It's pretty much garbage and the numbers vary by squadron as well. I got a 50 with a TIMS ratio way different from what was posted above. It's not worth the time, you'll only drive yourself nuts with it. Study briefing items.

Never fired an HK. I owned a P229 and it was a fantastic weapon. It handles the .40 very well and is VERY accurate. It also comes with different trigger options, so decide between SA/DA and DAK. I had an SA/DA and both were very smooth.

The aircraft you have tagged as a T-34 is actually a T-6/SNJ just busting your balls

I would imagine that if you are going helos, the wing will want you up here ASAP. I selected Thursday the 9th, and am classing up with HT-8 on the 16th. Granted I was already at Whiting for Primary, but they are hurting for Navy guys and I'd assume youd have to get up here pretty quickly...

Hmmmmm, are the -57 and -60 designed for someone thats 5'9" and 150???? Things are looking bright in the rotary world! ;)

Since Kmac mentioned the -53, thought I'd pose a different question.... How often does the -53 community do lifting/cargo for a carrier group? Does it supplement the Air Wing's C-2s, or does it provide a different capability that the C-2s and -60s don't have? I'm not trying to bag on CODs or...

I know specifically for the officers who lead the VBSS parties, they take a course and get qual'ed up for it. I have a buddy in the process of getting his VBSS qualification right now.

mmmmm, sure could go for another experience w/ the nasal speculum;):tongue2_1

To piggyback on this one, I've had my custom inserts for almost 3 months now and have seen some definiite imporvement. Not as instantaneous as Black Bear describes, but my injury (plantar fasciitis) takes a LONG time to heal. For those of you on that have lower leg injuries AND are on...

What Feddoc said. They did the sinus X Ray on me after a ROUGH year of infection, bronchitis and allerigies. Everything turned out OK and the ENT put me on year-round Flonase. If they offer it, take it, tis a miracle drug.

Mine went down on the exact same day. It worked out well.

I managed to do it during API. I gambled on the fact that I would graduate in May, do IFS at my NROTC unit and then sit in the A Pool for a long time down at Pensacola. In my case it worked out perfectly. We got married during the "Christmas Break" for the Training Commands and it worked out...

Go to a dedicated running store if you can and have someone find a shoe that will best fit your feet. It's worth it to go out of your way to avoid injury.

It's as simple as going to FEDEX (call them ahead of time) and having them shipped to an FFL on your end. I tried doing it via UPS a few months back....those morons have no concept of the law. FFL is only required on the recieving end of the shipment. FEDEX was quite accomodating, but...

fire Mission!

I seriously bought my shotgun there as an impulse buy....bastards put it right next to the register.

I agree on Gander Mountain and their used guns. Got my first pistol used there as well as my Mossberg 500. I felt I got a great deal on both, and both were in excellent condition. Would buy from them again anytime.

So you are an NROTC drop out? I guess that makes you a legitimate judge of talent. You're probably right though, I'm sure all your classmates will be sh!tty officers, you'll be better off doing OCS.... FYI, you learn more about being a leader in the SECOND half of your NROTC experience...

OMG, I can't even believe you mentioned the corn dog place outside the main gate! Yeah....it's not very good. But when you can't find a Jimmy John's late at night, it's all the same!

No, just have to wear glasses. Docs have never said anything to me about a pipeline being restricted.

NOMI can take forever...trust me. I gave them all my PRK related paperwork in October of my senior year when I had my comissioning/flight physical. They didnt fully clear me until the THE DAY BEFORE I GOT COMMISSIONED in May. Why did this happen? Who the F knows.... Patience, but...

I had PRK, so obviously my experience is different. That said..... It seriously took me more than 3 months to see well (20/20). My right eye has never even corrected to 20/20, 20/25 is the best I got. But it was worth it considering it was 20/450 before! You will play mind games with...

The military's M11 pistol is actually a Sig P228, not a 226. It is the more compact version of the 226 with a slightly shorter barrel and shorter height, hence the 13-rd capacity vs. the 226's 15. For those of use who own/have owned the P229, it is very similar to the 228/M11 except it is a...

Relax. Had my PRK done in December, wasn't seeing 20/20 together until March or so. My right eye is still 20/25, but it's all the way down from 20/450! Some people don't always correct to 20/20, but you'll be fine and within standards. Just keep using the drops or whatever.

Totally. And they can take direct hits from RPGs and keep flying!! wolverines

Landing was my real question I guess, that clears it up some. Choctaw makes sense of course, never seen area 3 though.

Caught, been here since Feb. Asked around about T-6s/T-34s in the pattern and haven't heard of anyone doing it. Seen them transit the area many times though. So when you mention those 4 fields, they can all support the T-6 for pattern work?

When the Commodore gave us our in-brief, he said that historically NFOs rock SNA Primary. Not suprising.

Being in the joint squardon pays off! But I'll be long gone....

So what does that leave? I have NEVER seen a T-6 in the pattern in any of the working areas, never even heard anyone mention seeing them either. I'm sure writing a new FTI and course rules will be fun....

Yeah, that would make a lot of sense. Course rules would be REALLY quick! It reverses the pitch of the prop when all the wheels are on the deck. Basically, it's reverse thrust to help you slow down very quickly. Makes the T-34C stop on dime...relatively....

I was under the impressing that for us to have the T-6 at Whiting, it would NEED Beta. You can land w/o Beta at Whiting, but the real problem is the OLFs. The longest runway out in the areas is ~4k. Many are 3k. It will also end split field ops at Whiting, which doens't make me cry. The AF...

Primary for NFOs uses the T-6. Hasn't happened for the pilot side of the house though, but it is on the horizon.

You're right. Recently the FL Legislature passed a law saying that the family of a burglar/intruder CANNOT sue the person who shot them. FL is very serious about their "castle doctrine". If you enter someone's house uninvited, the law sees it is a self defense scenario.

No weapons on base, just like everywhere else. Seriously, live off base like EVERYONE else.

Whats the dilemma? Navy vs. Army???? Seriously, if you want to be in the Navy, then join the freakin' Navy. PLENTY of people nationwide pick up 3 year scholarships every year after SUCCESSFUL freshman years at college. Your location says you live in NC, so going to the State school can't be...

No Contest Absolutely beautiful:

Who cares, they're not even close to being the best division in baseball.

The %'s of classes that go to the various warfare communities will vary from school to school. Just as an example, at Purdue at least 75% of my class went to the Aviation community. Obvisouly it can't be this way at other schools because other communities like subs and surface wouldn't get...

Few and far between though, advanced standing pretty much doesn't exist any more on the Navy side.

Do freakin' search then come back with more specific questions. You basically asked us to explain the whole NROTC program to you. Believe me, it's already on this site. That said, do Purdue NROTC. Why? because it's cool.

As the podiatrist will tell you, foot stuff is all about time. The generic inserts I used didn't make my injury any better over the 4 months that I used them, but I also think that they prevented me from getting worse. For Plantar Fasciitis, the best thing to really do is stop running and let...

Naaaaaaaaaa, it's just nice signing next to the line that says: Owed by patient: $0 Gotta love the Tricare....sometimes.

I never paid for my inserts!!!!!

Just got my Orthotics via Tricare today! $300 that I didn't have to pay. It took me a couple of trips to the Podiatrist before he referred me for custom orthotics. I was given some generic inserts and tried them for about 4 months with not help (I have Plantar Fasciitis), then I went back and...

I'd say half of the instructors at VT-3 are AF pilots. In addition to that, just under half of the students are AF, so you will by no means be a minority. I've been in VT-3 for about 2 months and haven't had any problems. Nothing you should be worried about, things are fairly laid back on our...

Dumb idea. Your arch needs support. Trust me, straining the arch and tendons in the bottom of your feet is no fun. Plantar Fasciitis (the result) is a pain in the ass to get rid of. Wear shoes.

Anyone still use bolt action?
