Ummmm, not if you are flying your own little Cessna in turbulence with the autopilot on :eek: 5,280 MSL or above counts :D

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

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.

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.

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

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...

A few weeks to a few months

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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...

^^^^ 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.

http://cap.findlocation.com/ Find a unit close to you using this site. Annalisa is spot on. But you can go through my previous posts to get more info about CAP.

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...

Great, another Skybus. Except Skybus flew to some nice cities. JetAmerica flies to Toledo fricking Ohio :icon_boxi

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...

^^ 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.

Yes

There are no cons. Hope that helps!

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...

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)...

I'd say I am just a little bit of a Buckeye fan :icon_wink And yes, I am looking for an OSU bar or alumni club in Newport/surrounding areas to watch the game at.

I was also bumped from 26 July to 23 August. 4 more weeks of booze, golf, and women......can't complain too loudly

This is a dumb thread but I will contribute my "expertise" to this subject. I spend my money 3 ways. 1. Beer for me 2. Beer for women at the bar 3. Flying/Golf Oh yeah, I also use the money for housing and food but I figured that was standard....

I heard that class was canceled from multiple sources except my OR, so maybe it still exists. Nonetheless I am in that class as of now.

I am surprised this video has not been posted yet.... I was bored and surfing youtube and found this great video of the Blue Angels, especially if you are a fan of the Foo Fighters.

Pro-rec....4 weeks after final select

RICHARD!!! You all will understand in a few months.....

He linked to FREE FOOD! Come on, even Oprah appreciates free food... Don't know how that is a man card revocation :confused:

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...

You can have a flight guarantee in the Navy before going to OCS

Pro-rec to final select was 7 weeks for me......about 10 weeks until payday.

You are wayyyyyyyy overthinking this...... Best of luck on your upcoming boards everyone!

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...

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.

Yes, an unsuccessful night turns into me being in a pissy mood at 2 am.... Sorry dude.

Officer first, aviator second..... The Navy does not fly A-10s, only the AF..... Grammar/Capitalization...... Must I continue?????

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.

The day you swear in is the day you will start accumulating pay, time in service, and leave.

We all had to wait for what seemed to be an extraordinary amount of time......if you need money that bad then get a part time job somewhere until you get those paychecks.

Ignore...math sucked....back with new numbers soon

That's what you think:icon_wink Daytona does, for the most part, suck....there are only a few good night clubs/bars and it seems that none of the college kids in the area even go out. When I was there for spring break it was quite dead, but we managed to get what we wanted out of the week:eek:

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.

1) You go to Great Lakes and serve out you commitment to the Navy as enlisted. 2) Possibility of re-designation or they could say cya Another Ohio person on these boards! Good to see! Watch out for those STDs at BGSU Edit: By the way, are you dealing with the NRD Ohio out of Columbus? If so...

I got my class date 3 weeks ago......26 July.......you do the math.

CAP is a great idea for your son! I personally went through the Cadet Program (joined at 15) and am still currently an active member, only now on the Senior side since I turned 21. There are many opportunities available to your son from leadership experience, moral leadership, drug demand...
