Bingo Greysword totally hit it on the head. That is a good layout on the many way online groups like that can screw you! Also reminds me..... As far as Facebook goes, be careful what groups you "join" on the network. Don't join anything political, especially anti Bush etc. That is most...

Well, now THERE'S a good idea.....genius..... Always seems like there is a camera around....be careful.....

I don't necessarily think that a warfare qual is a must. At the unit I left, we a had a few newer STA-21s that were picked up out of nuke school. No warfare pins, only other ribbon was a good conduct one (for example), and sometimes no time at sea.

Unfortunately, all it takes is someone else posting stuff that happens to have you in it, even if you don't have an account. These sites are cool for "networking" I suppose, but they just give those who evaluate you an easy opportunity to see how you really act on the weekends. Kissarmy, I'd...

3/c Cruise: CORTRAMID San Diego--->ridiculously fun 2/c Cruise: West Coast SSN--> 28 days underway (not fun), but my first trip to Hawaii 1/c Cruise: FOREX with Japan-->awesome experience

ZING

That's the point I've been trying to make. Keep in mind that I'm not speaking to you specifically, but to other mids too. Do whatever it takes to make sure pics of you doing stupid/illegal/drunken activities don't get posted. It gets out. Skidkid: some serious bafoonery by midshipmen...

Just think of all this as a friendly warning. Trust me, if you make a MySpace and Facebook account in college, your NROTC staff will look at it. They ALL do it, it's even been discussed at their conferences in Pensacola. I'm not telling you to not join those sites or anything, but why make...

Yeah, the extent of my pistol experiences is the NROTC pistol team lead by the AMOI!

guess you have to resort to that when your school is a SAUSAGE FEST

Listen kid, we've been there and done that. Stuff like myspace and facebook do nothing but fvck midshipmen over. All that needs to happen is a friend of yours posting a pic of you doing something stupid, then you're in trouble

do your myspace, facebook, whatever. don't post any drunk pictures of yourself or any other mids on them. don't screw yourself, or anyone else. it happens, i've seen it.

I just did a search under "Pensacola Notary" and found out that the legal office on the base can take care of that sort of thing. FYI for other A Poolers down here who need something notarized.

obviously you got screwed, id look into it

Where did you have that done, I'd like it ASAP.

As a Senior, you get your stipend during the summer. Enjoy the extra money, it happened for everyone I know.

Thats cool that you can get the CCW just by showing ID, but I think it'd be good for me to take a course on it. Found this out of Milton: http://www.santarosasheriff.org/training/citizenfirearmsclass.shtml I think I'll hit this one up!

Good to go, Scoob, where did you take your class at?>

All, Just got my app for the Florida CCW in the mail today. Big problem though: I need to qualify for the "competency w/ a firearm" section. Anyone have any ideas on the best way to do this in the Pcola area? It says military training is also acceptable, but I don't have my pistol...

I'll take a crack at these.... 1. You select to be a pilot/nfo or any other service selection in your Senior year. If you are a regular 4 year grad, this will happen in October. 2. I don't know what OM means, but the NROTC program does rank it's people based on a formula. GPA...

Thanks for emphasizing the poor performance aspect, I didn't do that enough. If you come across as a sh!tbag, the inteviewer will give you the appropriate grade in his/her portion of the application process. Trust me, if you come off as a turd, the board will find out. As far as standard...

The interview will probably last about 10-15 minutes. They will ask you some basic, standardized questions and some other stuff about high school, for example. How long your answers are will effect the length of the interview. Don't worry about taking too long though, this is a chance to sell...

Definitely will vouch for the P229. I picked up a used one in .40 a couple months back as my first gun, absolutely love it. I look like Jack Bauer when I carry it, too....at least I tell myself that....

Ok, you guys reallly aren't catching on to the point I am trying to make. In case you haven't noticed, the Navy is definetly focusing more on technology/math/science/engineering when it considers scholarships. It is to the point where they actually ask about your involvement w/ computers...

Familiarity w/ computers is something they ask in the interviews now. That's why I mentioned it.

DEFINITELY MENTION THAT! That'll look really good on there.

Haha, or if you have guts.....you can tell them that the internet is great....FOR PORN. http://forporn.ytmnd.com/ Dare you, seriously.

They recognize the fact that schools offer way more courses in Science/Math verses computers. They like to see some sort of interest in the computer area. Being computer literate helps a lot!

Your activities look fine. Make sure you are concentrating on your grades as well, especially science, math and computers.

Wake up call bud. Youre not trying to bullsh!t your way into a college on this one. These essays take some heart and your personal morals to write. These essays get read by the officers that interview you and look over your application. Keep this in mind: they are looking for people to...

If your degree is going to take more than 4 years to complete, you'll be fine. This is especially true for universities that have the reputation for being difficult and taking more than for years. I can vouch for Purdue, a lot of my classmates are taking an extra semester or two to complete...

Back to the original question.... Find out what recruiting district you are in and give them a call. Since you will already have at least 1, and maybe 2 years of college complete you could look towards a 2 years scholarship plus extended benefits. You probably wont finish your engineering...

Not to downplay the leadership portions of the scholarship applications...but it seems that the new trend with scholarships is heavy involvement in math, computers, and science related subjects. The Navy is definitely trying to get more engineering majors on scholarships. You can have all that...

Alright alright, I know there has already been a thread about PLACES to shoot in Pensacola, but.... What sort of credentials/ID do you need to present when shooting in FL? I ask because currently I live in IL and when I go shoot I have to present my Firearm Owner ID every time. Do I need...

Yeah, well the Sig is still prettier;) BTW, took my 229 out for a spin at a friend's farm today. Hollow Points + Cantelope= good times. The exit wounds were gigantic!

Jack Bauer used a stainless Sig at one point....my stainless 229 looks awesome.

quick Q, why are all .40 range ammo flat headed? never found an answer...

I found out about them from a cool personal defense article i read. http://www.chuckhawks.com/ammo_by_anonymous.htm The guy claims the lighter rounds work better....very interesting.

CorBon 135g JHP for my .40. One fast freakin' round.

Mine is DA/SA.

Everything on it is BRAND NEW. It baffles me that it was listed as "used" at the store. The salesman and myself don't even think it's been fired before, the inside is completely spotless. It was at least $60+ less than all the certified pre owned sigs that the store carried. I essentially...

My thoughts exactly. The Glock 23 is a great gun, but I think the Sig is much more controllable in bigger calibers.

All, I went to Gander Mountain over the weekend to handle a few 9mm, the Springfield included. Then I wandered over the their clearance/used rack and noticed a few Sigs. They had a 229 in .40 with a stainless slide, hogue grips, and night sights for $590. I decided it was a pretty good...

Glad to hear so many positive responses. I talked to a cop shop that'll sell to me with a Military ID. I'm going to get the XD-9 with night sights for 500 flat. Thought that was a pretty good deal! Noze

I found some gouge on an XD forum that the finish on the slide can wear off. Is this not a problem on the Stainless slide?

All, I'm finally taking the plunge and buying my first weapon! I have been really looking into the XD-9, hopefully with a stainless slide and night sights. Anyone have any experience with these??? Please chime in! -Noze

Wow, that looks a lot like the new S&W M&P .40

I just bought a Morgan 1882 Silver Dollar. Was going for the unique approach...

I think I'm headin' down for 1 September. I'm trying to swing IFS and OHARP in the Chicago area for the summer.

Purdue Mids found out today. 1390, count me in
