    Funny Air New Zealand Ad

    Can I do it?

    Don't let that fool you, the Big House is a shithole. Only the world's shittiest football players roam that field 6 games a year. They should be blessed that men in scarlet and grey come to bless that field once every two years.:D:D

    Dayton Air Show

    It is at Dayton Cox International Airport. On the subject of Wright-Patt, I was there for the Ohio Summer Encampment (CAP) and this plane happened to show up to do some touch and go's for an hour and a half. I was about a football field away from the runway.

    Dayton Air Show

    Adobe Gilas and Bar Louie, I believe we have those in C-Bus as well! I will be going to the airshow; I am glad to see there will be a nice Navy/USMC presence.

    BDCP: My gouge

    It will not kill your chances, but as you probably have figured out it won't help you. Don't sweat it though. I'll bet most of the board drank as a freshman in college, they just weren't stupid enough to get caught :D:D

    Can I do it?

    First off... Fuck you. I did the same thing here at OSU (without ROTC) and got a pilot slot. From what I have been told, a Physics/science/engineering degree will help get you that slot. I am not sure about the ROTC side and getting voluntold to split atoms, but it surely helped me on the...

    Speed and Angels

    If you are referring to all the BS associated with all the hippie professors and students, then yes. I have an arsenal of movies and media to keep me sane.

    Speed and Angels

    Agreed. I think this movie has some of the best aerial photography of Navy aircraft since the infamous Top Gun.

    I got them sent by my high school. Most colleges won't send official transcripts without you paying a fee.

    PPL while in the Navy

    There are navy flight clubs at NAS's. There are also flight clubs at AF bases depending on where you are stationed. Google navy flying club and see what you get.

    Finally routing my package

    This really isn't a good one. Wait for a thread like "help improve my package" or "is my package good enough," those sorts of things. Or you can just use something like a HUMMER thread, which I swear to God I thought it was not about the car. :eek:

    Questions About The ASTB Test.

    1) Dunno, but the mins will not get you in unless you are a stud in all other areas 2) You will not have a choice in the form you get so don't worry about that 3) Check the stickies in the ASTB forum 4) No, unless you just want to fly for fun. It will not help you much on the ASTB.

    Civil Air Patrol.

    That is true to attend a summer glider/powered academy, but you still may take flight lessons without going to an academy. Refer to my previous post. And I am done with posting in this thread. My CAP Gooberness has reared its ugly face. @ OP, if you have any questions not answered don't...

    Civil Air Patrol.

    ^^^^ If you are a cadet you can receive flight instruction from a CAP Instructor at no instructor charge, you only pay for the plane and gas. It is a great deal if you find someone willing to help you out.

    New Maritime Recon Aircraft

    That is some great stuff. I am actually writing a final paper on what we should do to keep fighting drug trafficking and this will be in there. On a side note, I will still do poorly because the prof is a total hippie. On her office is a large sign that says "end the drug war." I can't win...

    1001 questions (and answers) concerning BDCP

    My horrible quarter came from overloading on Physics and Math (2 upper level phys, 2 upper level math) with no "buffer" classes. I did poorly in my math classes but that was easily the hardest I ever worked for school. I think I was okay because it was just under 2.7 and my cumulative was...

    1001 questions (and answers) concerning BDCP

    ^^ You are mistaken. You need to keep your GPA above a 2.7 each and every quarter/semester. However, I actually ran into this problem by getting a 2.61 one quarter and am still in BDCP with an OCS date in 12 weeks. I am sure it is on a case by case basis.

    While lots of running and swimming are great I would recommend hitting up the weight room every once in a while and focus on some strength training. That is what I have been doing and the differences are quite noticeable. I would like to swim more though...

    Fired up 13 year old looking to join ranks of USMC Pilots

    Sports especially, but worthwhile clubs are beneficial too. Look into JROTC/CAP also, they are both great programs for someone your age. And while mostly B's are fine at a college level while taking a harder curriculum, you should strive to get all A's in high school. The competition heats up...

    You are 13 and worried about the ASTB??? I am not going USMC but Navy and I can tell you at 13 I had no clue what I wanted to do. As of right now you can: 1) Get excellent grades 2) Participate in extracurricular activities 3) Find a good pre-military group such as JROTC/CAP/Scouts etc... 4)...

    Selected, But i missed to disclose a transcript

    Speaking from the non-prior side but still having to go through the application process.... If it is a huge difference in overall GPA, i.e. .2 or more, then it is probably good to disclose that info. If it is minute, .01 or .02, then in the grand scheme of things it will not matter so just go...

    I am a bit confused. My date is 26 July. Does this mean I will be pushed back also or that our class will be twice as big? It really does not bother me that much, I am BDCP, so I'll just go ahead and keep collecting the paychecks while I do nothing except workout after graduation. I would...

    USAA Car Buying Service Questions

    I just did the car buying service this morning as I have been actively looking for a new car. The system was great! I got a call back this morning about the 370z with about $2,000 off the MSRP. I'm glad this question came up as I had no clue about the service USAA offers.

    Thinking about BDCP again and have questions

    How important is being an officer to you? That should motivate you enough to make time to run. I cannot believe that you have never run a mile.....the physical fitness program at your middle/high schools epically failed you.

    Developing a foundation for aviation education

    Probably the best book to try is the Private Pilot manual by Jeppesen, it is used at OSU for their Private Pilot ground school, which is all the aviation information you will need for the ASTB. You don't have to be that proficient; just a basic understanding will do.
