Take this with a grain of salt as I'm just another Candidate in the pipeline with you but...I've seen this question asked a couple of times before here and the general consensus was that if you take an NFO contract then you should plan on being an NFO. The transfers do happen, but it seems they...

I could be wrong, but I thought that a "solo cross country" was valid to skip IFS?

That's pretty awesome...I would have no problem spending time in the A-pool doing stuff like that.

Can we just make this thread go away based upon this little jewel of idiocy?

I sat down at the Barber's shop a few months ago for a haircut. There was a new guy there who was going to cut my hair. After talking to him for a while, it turned out that he was a Marine and had been in the Korean War. About halfway through the haircut another older man walked in with his wife...

Yeah same here. Waiting on the medical to come back. Very Impatiently.

What's great about this whole debate is that I'm yet to see anyone who can PROVE that the Law will create racism/profiling or can PROVE that it's anything more than two political groups making play for points. Repubs/AZ = We want help and you dems aren't going to give it us so screw you. We'll...

Haha Love it!!

"This is fishing boat"...Yeah, I bet it is.

Yeah, what happened to "Peace Through Strength"? Did that turn into "Peace Through Prayer" somewhere?

Agreed. Doing 'jack and shit' seems to be popular these days (read: Iran Nukes).

Oh they'll do something...whether it's useful or not? I'm going with not.

It's a little more like 40-60 hrs depending on the person. Most solo the a/c somewhere around 10-15 hrs.

PPL? No....some flight time? Yes. If the money is there then you should go get a few hours of flight time and enjoy the experience. Like it was said ealier, It will either make your mind up or change it.

I agree. You give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. You teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Basically put, same concept.

Story of my life right there.

Yeah, 'cause a fence will stop 'em. Really? They're jumping over and tunneling under fences at the border left and right.

This is good advice. We're all underdogs so just do your best on everything and apply. You can theoretically transfer from NFO and other career fields, but it's not easy and not likely. If you want SNA and will only be happy with SNA, then apply for that only. If you don't get it the first...

I agree on all counts!! Cool plane, hot chick, terrrrible movie...

If we could do it nationwide then we could get like 25% closer that green economy all the politicians were talking about too...these guys might be onto something!! :icon_help

I can hear it now... "Oh no, not at all. We took care of those problems. See, the computer does the flying" :icon_what

I'm very skeptical of P90x. Everyone that I know that raves about it are the same people who eat like crap and are pretty lazy in general. Changing the average American's diet and getting them off the couch for an hour a day would cause most to lose quite a bit of weight. I'm not bashing it...

3 hits makes you a bad MF'er... Going to back to war after being hit by an IED and having both arms broken, recovering, and still being able to make 3 hits like that at that range. Well that makes you nothing short of a legitimate BadA$$!!

The only one I've ever seen was at the Smithsonian Udvar Hazay Center and man, what an airplane. It made the MIG-21 look like a go-cart. Definitely one of those airplanes I'd love to see flying again.

Is there evidence to say that what he did DIDN'T save lives?

There is a huge thread here about this... No Marine AIR until 2012

This is what's meant by reasonable suspicion. We're on the same page. It's just reading a little different between the two of us. I don't want the gov't to go around demanding ID's from people at will either. If you're caught doing something and they wanna see it, then that's well within the...

What's wrong with expecting someone to be able to produce some sort of ID or asking Immigrants (legal or not) to produce to some proof they are here legally? Because that might make someone uncomfortable or cause them the trouble? Who cares. If you're here legally then no big deal. You should be...

I really don't think it matters when 20 of them going off would pretty much throw us into Nuclear Winter. All that tells me is that we have more than enough to kill everything on the planet. 'nuff said for me.

The one here is pretty good, but $9 for a burrito, some crappy chips, and drink? That's a little pricey if you ask me. Luckily, the closest one to me has all sorts of deals (pretty much everyday) for 5.99 burrito/quesadilla combos. When I go other places though, there are no deals to be had...

No one is probing you at their leisure. The law states that you have to be able to show an ID when caught for another crime or offense. They're going to ask you for an ID anyways when you're speeding or whatever so what's the big deal? I've never had a cop say "Well Sir, you were...

I could add overpriced to that description as well.

No I haven't because I had my LICENSE. That's a moot point. The AZ law states that a driver's license is a valid form of Identification since you have to be here legally to get one in the first place. Besides, if you are here legally then you should have a green card/SSC/Driver's license on you...

I just don't get what the whole F-ing debate is about. Being here illegally is well, still illegal. Amnesty is bullshit and any politician who wants to grant amnesty can shove it up his/her ass. The AZ law is simple and all this liberal debate over it is no more than bitching and drum beating...

Wow, too funny!!

That's why I said 2/10 = 20%. I guess I should included a 'BTW' in there. Losing 2/5 on 131 trips into space is a record that I would not consider a failure by any means. It's a risky busness and sadly we, as a nation, have lost good people doing it. I would not begin to call our space program...

Wow...that's a bad deal. Will this affect orders to OCS for those of us that have been selected or are those generated from another source?

Everyone should watch that video...a drop in the bucket. We're going to have to make some pretty drastic steps in order to ACTUALLY reduce the spending any reasonable amount (i.e. in the billions).

I'm diggin' the Darth Vader paint scheme!!

Let's not use vague percentages. 2/10 = 20% in 30 years, so what? They're flying shit into outer space...It's not the same thing as if the Navy lost 20% of it's Hornet fleet due to mishaps. Not to mention that 10million bucks to NASA, and the Government overall, is about what it takes to get...

Oh he was serious. It happened!!

Yeah, definitely no one shady in the White House these days....:icon_roll And FTR, he didn't make a direct comparison to LBJ and the bombings in Vietnam. He used it as an example of the type of micromanagement of the military that hinders performance and war-fighting. Like it or not, the two...

Yeah that's a pretty good one!!

I'll take two!! :icon_zbee

My OR was saying July too so maybe...

Here's a few funny ones....

You need to speak with Officer Recruiter. You can go through any office that you like (not the enlisted recruiting office). Usually a Chief of some sort will handle your package and check the Ps and Qs. The OR is probably the Lt you spoke with over the phone. Study for the ASTB using the gouge...

Put very basically it's a meat and veggies diet, but do the reading and research. It's legit and you actually eat really well on it. I'm no super athlete by any means, but I've managed to get my 1-miler down to 6:30 just by eating right, running (15 miles a week roughly), and doing...
