    Hi Moms

    Excuse my ignorance but what's a "hi mom" in this context?

    Semper V/STOL Group

    I was obsessed with the Harrier as a kid. My dad had a model hanging up in his office that I tore down and made my new toy. That baby went on many a bombing run. I'll join up as a wanna-be.

    I second that one. I would not have expected there to be good Cajun food in the NW until eating there.

    Everett, WA

    I'm gonna have to agree with Flash and say it's about 8 months of sh!t weather. Everett is an OK city with lots of recreation nearby but the weather will drive you mad. The news makes a huge deal out of it if we even get a day of sun or semi-warm weather before April or May. Fortunately, I...

    Marine OCS Question

    Preface: I don't have much room to talk as I've only gone to Jr's. Our platoon never got 8 hours of sleep. The lights go out at 2100 and come on at 0500 but you have so much shit to do during that time; marking gear, writing essays, fulfilling billets, etc. I found that the most successful...

    Perfect for finals week. So motivating, and it reminded me why I want to be a Naval Aviator.

    Marine Air contracts

    That's not much time for such a sweet certification. I've been thinking about finding an aerobatic school up here in Seattle.

    I like the aerobatics videos. What does a check ride entail?

    Which way is she spinning?

    To switch back and forth quickly I just do this. If I recall something (like my old dog), she spins CCW. If I create something in my mind and picture it then she spins CW.

    PLC Questions

    The two programs you're eligible to apply for after completing OCC or PLC Jrs are the Marine Corps Tuition Assistance Program (MCTAP) and the Financial Assistance Program (FAP). MCTAP provides up to $5200 per school year for up to three years (I believe). FAP provides $350 / school-month...

    University of Idaho NROTC

    I've got a couple of friends in the NROTC unit over there. They're both Marine options but I'm sure they could have one of their Navy buddies get in touch with you. PM me if you're interested and I'll see what I can do.

    More Convicted Felons Allowed to Enlist

    Not so, I have a couple of friends who super-glued another friend's sh!t (slippers, stapler, etc.) to his wall and our RA ended up overreacting and calling the cops. The cop said they could each be charged with a felony but wouldn't be since the victim didn't really care all that much. I do...

    Private pilot's lisence. Does it help?

    Heh... at least give me something original. That one could be used on any school. Though we probably shouldn't waste any more bandwidth with this.

    Private pilot's lisence. Does it help?

    Bad advice if he wants to fit in as a Husky.

    Private pilot's lisence. Does it help?

    A pilot's license has no bearing on your pilot selection. In AFROTC they give you a few 'selection points' for flight hours.

    do we have to memorize any equations

    I took it without having any physics whatsoever. The mechanical was tough but I just logically thought my way through it. For the math, you should know basic trig (sin, cos, tan, pythagorean theorem, etc) and be comfortable looking at a story problem and setting it up algebraically. If it means...

    Salvia: Legal halucinogen

    I have a couple friends who have done it, and another couple who I've talked out of it. The experience seems to vary from terrifying to exhilarating. I know a guy who used it and while on it, went to the 'salvia website' and ordered some more. In the process he signed himself up for a discount...

    EMALS for my friends...no more steam catapults for CVN-78

    I rode that coaster four or five years ago. That thing was a beast and, at the time, was the fastest and tallest in the world. I think a Georgia coaster recently stole the title from it.
