PRs issuing fleece? Haha As a wise woman once said: "Aint nobody got time for 'dat."

The Stab auto programs down at low airspeeds to prevent nose-high attitudes at low airspeeds and then programs up to 10 degrees up at higher airspeeds to keep a level attitude. It has the capability to be manually slewed, but primarily is controlled by the flight control computer via a few...

For those of you who are stressing this, I applied/came in a little over 2 years ago when things weren't looking great either and the 'swing' came back around as I was coming through API. Best thing you can is, as advised previously, dont stress it and put the app in the mail and do your...

I wasn't a prior-E, but you'll be wearing Blue-Berries for the first 8 weeks so medals wont be an issue. If you have them on the medal rack, I'm pretty sure you'd want to bring that all complete. You'll have a chance to ask your class O or chief about the arrangement when things 'calm down a...

Ironically, when I went through API they were letting people who failed multiple tests go on to Primary. Who then failed multiple flights there as well and still got their wings. Like I've said before: It has little to do with being "good" and more to do with "being in the right place at the...

It's like a CCX all day, every day around here.

I usually try to say "Thanks" if they get it right the first time. I'm sure they have no idea why, but regardless, I appreciate it.

Yeah it only takes one call for us to do that too: "Hey Tower: Present Position Takeoff Please." :D

The T-6 isn't a hard A/C to learn. Just make sure to use your NATOPS manual as the program setup doesn't do a very good job of reinforcing that. Namely Ch. 7 which is your checklists (with notes) so you know what you're actually doing. Always study with buddies and, for gods sakes, know your Eps...

I think the argument isn't so much the F/A role of the Hornet as it is that we're losing the ASW/Tanking capability of the S-3. But, just to play devil's advocate, what could an updated A-6 do with 30+ JDAMS?

I'm pretty sure that's listed on the NAMI website under the waiver manual.

No problem. Use the recruiter as a resource, but as always: "trust but verify."

You recruiter is full of $hit. Switching designators is ONLY done in the case of Medical related issues. Going to your class officer and saying "Oh, I decided I want to be a (insert designator here)" wont happen.

You dont get BAH because you're staying in "government quarters" at OCS. You'll get it once you move to Pcola.

Live long and prosper my friend. Once you understand that. It 'aint no thang!'

Having been a T-6 stud, I have much to say about the T-6 program but I'm not even sure where to start.

And, on a sadder note, these are the people that the liberals say are supposed to be protecting us as they disarm us. Thanks, but no thanks.

Governor's Gate FTW. Just trust me on this one. UWF chicks like cray cray.

Relax. Clearly you got through your contact checkride which is the big one. Just keep working and you'll have wings before you know it.

Tell him that all of Naval Aviation said, "Thanks...now go haze yourself."

Liquidity? I think you mean, "Ensign Mobile Money."

I'm pretty sure it's still 2.99%. I used it to re-fi my student loans.

You mean, like Otto?

Helos were definitely more sought after than P-3s while I was in Primary. I think the whole "airline gig" has sort of lost it's charm in recent years so not as many studs are going for the multi-rating and whatnot. Not to mention that the community has a bad rep amongst studs.

Which is why it (and P3s) ain't such a bad deal.

On the other side of the argument, when you're IN flight school there are two extremes: 1) sitting on your ass for months on end waiting to start training. 2) push, push, push to get done. During the former, you'll proly have enough free time to become an olympic athlete. During the latter, you...

Which is why it's incredibly stupid. The thought processes in the halls of CA legislative offices are pretty much non-existant. It's just like everything else: It's about the politician "making the world safer" by getting their name on a piece of BS legislation that bans something else so...

I bought a 12$ one at the NEX and keep it in the car. Works like a charm. By no means is it gonna get you a 'razor shave', but "it's good enough for gov't work" (i.e. really good for 12$). I've been considering splurging on a nice one like you've got above.

For God's sakes, get a hobby, a slam piece, a spot on the beach, and get trashed. You're welcome. I envy you.

That sounds strikingly familiar to what they're trying with my friend.

What's going on in the Northeast (NY and CT) is NOT freedom. Hasn't been for a long time and it's just getting worse.

I've seen 7.62 around, but .223 is scarce to say the least. Thanks Feinstein. I officially hate you.

They didn't have quite the right size when I got mine. So rather than playing the waiting (and NOT getting game), I took what I could get.

My buddies contract was 'sold' to POINTE SOUTH and they did the same thing to him. Tried to keep his security deposit and say a bunch of random things were wrong with the house. Pretty crazy stuff.

Ted @ Perdido Sands is a good guy. Former Marine Hornet pilot. We rented a 3/3 from him and he knows all about the whole API/Primary thing. No problems to note.

But wink, if we could save just ONE life...it would be worth it. (says the liberals)

Dude, just stop. If all you want to do is fly jets then that's fine, but you don't belong here. Nothing is worse than being THAT guy who wanted jets and got helos or whatever else and is all butt-hurt about it. You're here to get your wings of gold. I know 5 guys from AFROTC who went ENJJPT...

Oh Sweet Jesus...numbers and graphs.... I'll have to look up what division they were comparing it to cuase clearly I was wrong about all the guys on the ground.

Oops. All I saw was the American part. I stand corrected.

I would also point out that her original post said nothing of "African Americans" and simply "American."

Yes, their story is unique and they put up with a lot to be where they were. Yes, they were distinguished. But they were no more 'distinguished' than anyone other fighter/bomber crew in WW2. We lost more aircrew than we did groundpounders in that war. If you had the sack to get in an aircraft...

As did Australia's rate of rape, murder, and theft. Hmmm...me thinks we see a correlation.

This. If they really think that their gonna push this thing through, shit will get bad and it'll get bad very quickly.

Holy fuck me. I would appreciate a logical explanation as to exactly how ANY of these rules would change anything? Diane Feinstein is out of her right mind. Just like Pelosi. Good job, CA.

Sometimes the just tee it right up for you and it's too easy.

Not to mention being show down in WW2 and rescued by a fricken submarine. Pretty BA story/history for the POTUS. Hope we dont lose him.

The new version of the fltplan.com app is pretty good. Not to mention free. I'd reccomend it if you want charts/approach plates/AF/d info/etc... There are some really good .pdf readers (including ones that allow you to highlight, underline, copy/paste, etc..) for use with your pubs and manuals.

That's terrible. Very sorry to hear this. I've lost multiple family members to cancer.

Please do. Is reloading significantly cheaper? I'm interested in starting to reload all my 45 and 5.56 ammo.

Dude, you're way over thinking it. The republicans just need to learn how to play as dirty as the democrats. If the Dems wanna go on TV and be disrespectful and cast false blame and accusations then I say that all forms chivalry go out the window. Republicans need to learn how to go for the...
