This happened at my home airport. Wish I could have seen it.

If you're above said aircraft I imagine it would be pretty tough to see when compared to the terrain.

Awesome scores. I called back home after I took it and my family just kind of played along with my excitement. Good job man and good luck.

I wish I could go to a restaurant and pay 10 bucks for some gourmet ham and shrimp jambalaya.

But what about the fallout from Denver? Have you even seen the show? It's like 24 with facts.

You mean you survived four years of Llab and the dreaded four weeks of 'field training?' Props to your Sir.

I can't speak for BDCP but for PLC my OSO told me that previously being AFROTC won't score you any points with the board. It may show that you're active out of school but that's about it. Plus if you're like me, the thorn in your foot that is AFROTC isn't worth it for the "rep." Talk to your...

metroplex!

Was she hot? I've got a duckwalk fetish.

lol, how big of a fvcking robot is that thing going to be? Optimus will be like an insect by comparison.

...ouch.

Congrats to you as well. I'll be going first increment, you?

Just got a call from my recruiter and I was selected for PLC Air 2010! It still seems like a dream. Thank you everyone on here for all of the help over the last two years. For the young(er) noobs...it might seem like just a distant dream now but if you set the goal and never take your eyes...

I took the ASTB and AFOQT within about a week of one another and in my experience the ASTB was much tougher. There's a lot less stupid bullshit on it. No counting blocks, hidden shapes, etc. I think my AFOQT scores were something like Pilot - 91 Nav - 76 Math - 85 Verbal - 66 Academic...

I believe I had that question. Also caught me off guard but I just thought of fore as "forward" and therefore the bow.

This story really send chills down my back. I've had one close call and it scared the shit out of me. The families are in my thoughts.

I did most of the Armstrong workout for a month and went from 6 to 16 pullups. The only difference is that I put up a pull-up bar in the door about four feet from my desk and would do a max set several times throughout the day. I was still in AFROTC at the time so I didn't have as much time to...

No one here can tell you if that's enough. I'll give you a generic yet insightful reply and say that your chances are 0% if you don't apply. So apply; you've got nothing to lose. 4/4/4 isn't terribly competitive but the board might see something in your package.

"They" haven't logged on since 1:30PM so I think "they're" just busy. It's probably a chick. A guy would have been on AW a dozen times between then and now.

I'm a PLC applicant and am a first-year college student with Sophomore status. This is about the only way I've heard of "Freshmen" applying. I did a program in High School and cumulated a years worth of college credits. My HS GPA was 2.67 and I failed like five or six classes. They haven't even...

Thanks everyone (Excluding XJ).

Has anyone here transferred or attempted to transfer schools while under contract in PLC? I may transfer schools sometime in the future and am not sure how/if it would affect my contract. Thanks.

I see the paradox that is the console debate is already commencing. In the end, it comes down to personal preference. I like my 360 better for several of my own reasons. I have friends who like their PS3's for completely different reasons. To the OP: go check out a friend's PS3 (if you can...

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/753612/king_air_gear_up_landing/ In my limited experience, I don't think I've seen a gear-up landing executed this well.

Who needs a samurai sword?

Yes

I grew up in a Christian family and went to church until about age seven. We moved up to the PNW and couldn't find a decent church, so we just stopped going. Right now, I'm on the fence about religion. I believe in a quasi-omnipotent being but don't follow any organized religions. I just don't...

Candidate for best threads?

These all seem to have some good stories behind them.

acft specific As posted in a previous thread...

Ditto for MEPS Spokane. I had just two other guys with me, both of whom were still in High School. In by 6:00AM, out by 9:30AM. Everything went extremely smooth and they bought us lunch from The Pita Pit. That was some good stuff.

Thanks for the post and giving us newbs a little more insight about OCS.

http://blogs.jobdig.com/wwds/2007/11/19/sr-71-now-that-was-some-airplane/ I've heard that anecdote about the Cessna, the Hornet, the Blackbird and their ground speeds before, and it seems like one of those urban legend kinds of jokes.

Didn't see this question when it was posted. I've got my PPL and spent no time on studying that. I haven't flown in about four months or even studied but a lot of that stuff is ingrained in my brain. I did, however, memorize the parts of a ship and looked at buoys, lights, and basic methods...

Here's a decent and recent thread. Not sure if it's the one you're referring to states. http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=139040

That is one beautiful jet. Thanks for posting.

Does a good ASTB score help a PLC applicant to be more competitive or is it a pass/fail thing as well?

Leave the program. It's my understanding that you're not bound to it and you don't like it, so get out of it. I made the mistake of giving the Air Force a chance too. I'm technically still in ROTC but the Cadre know I'll be leaving at the end of the semester. Tell them that the Air Force is not...

Don't think this is a repost but you can't be too sure these days. http://get-humor.com/dangerous_airports/

I got a 7/7/7 57 my first try, with 10 hours of studying spent on brushing up my math skills. As far as the actual administration of the test...I had extra time in every section to check back over my answers but hauled ass through them the first time. If I couldn't make much progress right away...

Some shitty 80's movie with giant robots...

No it doesn't. The Navy/Marine Corps care about the AFOQT about as much as the Air Force cares about the ASTB.

Is this the VR that runs over that lake adjacent to I-90? I'd love to be skiing at Steven's and see a low-level...

Degree only plays a part in the sense that they expect a technical major (ME, CS, etc.) to have a lower GPA than say...an Underwater Basket Weaving major. That's not to say you can get away with having a crap GPA as a tech major. It's just understood that technical majors tend to take the more...

You at WSU? We had Ranger Challenge this weekend so you should have hit something.

I got mine today, thanks. Now where to put it...

Any idea if mine has been mailed? Address is Pullman, WA.
