Agreed. Has anyone seen the flying bannana? Haha, I cant believe that thing is flying.

Illuminated by the setting sun after landing at Al Asad, Iraq, Jan. 15, a ‘tiger-striped’ F/A-18D Hornet with Marine (All Weather) Fighter Attack Squadron 224 rests in the new hangar area prepared for the squadron by 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing Marines.

You wouldn't believe how many seniors I know have absolutely no idea what they want to do, they just go wherever life takes them. I was just exploring my options, and I am sure of what I want to do. To be honest, I love science and math and just want to study that more. Haha, my friend took...

I am tired of my High School and I want to study what I want to study such as aeronautical engineering or computer science, not the bullshit underwater-basket weaving courses I am going to take my senior year. If take the GED the summer of my junior year, and pass I will go to a community...

Wow. I wouldn't watch that movie if my life depended on it :D

haha:icon_tong I saw it. I would have killed him if I was in the F-22(If they gave the job to the Navy or the Corps to kill him, he would have been dead:D)

Haha. Lol. I realized theres almost no way to become a Recon Marine and a pilot, so I looked into just aviation. Thanks to airwarriors, it hit me only 42% get jets:icon_wink so I looked into Marine Helicopters, thought they were awesome(especially the Cobra) and watched the movie the...

Thanks for renaming my post...:mad: My question was wrong about asking why they use a universal helicopter. I wanted to know the differences between their missions, how long they can fly(which you answered), etc. I just knew they were both rescue helicopters and was wondering the variations...

I was looking into USCG aviation, and was wondering what the main differences from the HH-65 Dolphin and the HH-60 Jayhawk are. They are both rescue helicopters, why wouldn't the Coast Guard use only one universal helicopter?

LOL He had some good moves, hes obviously been doing that for a while :icon_tong

Advanced Degree Program -Hope this helps

Advice solely on making your run time faster: Our track coach makes us faster by 'workout days' where you push yourself and run 4 laps, 3 laps, 2 laps and 1 lap timed with rest in between. We vary our workouts, like this last week we did 2 laps, 1 lap, 1 lap, 1 lap, 1 lap, 1 lap and 2 laps...

I found it ironic how the Marine's nickname are 'devil dogs' yet he threw a dog off a cliff.

Does this only apply to those commissioning in 2008 or commissioning 2008 on?

I am planning of doing my 2 first years of college in a community college[cheap], possibly state school then transfer to some good school like UC San Diego or Stanford which cost tons of $$$. So, I am wondering if I could do the freshmen and sophomore PLC program, and do last two years of...

LOL I had my tonsils removed around then too. Don't remember much except when they put me out.

I was talking to a recruiter that came to our school, I asked what happens if you enlist for SEALs and do not make it through buds. He told me that there is a special operations mos and if you do not make it through buds you can do something relate to special operations (So you don't have to...

Just learned my class standing takes in P.E., so I am 195 out of 484. I took a practice sat test and scored average scores as a sophomore. Is it competitive to get into the summer seminar? lol I am going to ask my scoutmaster if there is underwater basket weaving now. Leland in San Jose, CA...

Happens to me sometimes and the refresh button doesn't solve the problem.

I was wondering the exact courses the Naval Academy accepts into your gpa. I know our high school takes in everything we take, but our state colleges and UC(University of California) colleges do not accept everything. For example, we have to take 4.5 years of electives (art, media arts, etc.)...

lol

Does everyone want cobras going into flight school? I am not asking what % get cobras, but is there generally a good amount of slots for cobra pilots in flight training? Also, when do you choose or get assigned to what aircraft you fly?

:icon_bounThat is when I will start flight training! Probably graduate college around 2014. Sweeet.

What do you mean when you don't get flight you don't have to join the Navy? Do you join another branch? I looked on their website and all their majors seem like the same exact thing. -Marine Transportation -Maritime Operations and Technology -Logistics and Intermodal Transportation -Marine...

My bad.:dunce_125

So you have a 6.6666666666666666666666666666667% of getting jets. :D

You said there was a lot of injuries, if you get injured do they give you another chance? Say if you wanted to be a SEAL, get into BUDs and get injured, would you be mopping floors and scraping paint off of ships for the rest of your enlistment?

You were an E-8? dang... Just a thought, wouldn't being an officer earn you more $$ for you wife and kids? So can be done.... :) :icon_down No. Can you enlist as a SEAL and get into USNA/NROTC after 4yr enlistment contract is over? (I dont see why not) By that time, you would be ~26.

wtf? lol

Wow. Sad, but I would love to be in your shoes. Get the best of both worlds. Did you enlist then become an officer? Edit: Read your profile-thigy, and says your an army aviator. Just wondering, why didn't you become a naval aviator? wtf what seal or recon plays WoW? Probably some fatass...

Yeah it is.

Can airwarriors put PLC under commissioning programs or USMC? I see NROTC, OCS, etc. but no PLC...

LOL Was this you? http://www.10news.com/news/8855207/detail.html I envy you :D

They never graduated HS and managed to get into NAPS Nice. How did you spend only a summer at a state school?

:eek:

Wow, I thought that being a ground officer would be the highest MOS. w/e I'm happy.:) Wouldn't getting a degree in science or engineering help you on the ASTB and other tests you take? Ground intel bubba? That doesn't sound too good. What do they do? I believe you :D ha ha lol Is that a no?

So is this a harder MOS to get into than SNA? Thanks, I am thinking of majoring in aeronautical engineering or computer science. Will these degrees help me be more competitive when I apply for SNA? Huh. Do they always supervise and never go out on the field(even when you move up the...

What do the officers do then? Just lead the enlisted? I will apply for SNA, and if I do not get selected, I will apply for ground intelligence officer( Can I even apply for this strait out of TBS?) wtf is Rambo?lol Ok, you official pissed on my goals. Now, I was searching around and there...

ha ha I was a studmuffin in 7th grade PE. I think I am going to apply for SNA and if I don't get it go RECON

My bad:icon_tong How the hell did you get in with a 1.96 GPA? I I had less than a 2.0, I couldn't play sports. You can't get in to a state college in CA if you have less than a 2.0, let alone the Academy...

I know. You should tell that to our school. Some kid killed himself a couple years ago cuz he got a b+... I do 3 sports and scouts which chews up a lot of time to do homework and sleep:o lol work harder... There was a recruiter for the us marine corps at our school yesterday [he was a e-6. I...

Is it possible to be a Recon Marine for some time and transfer to become a pilot? Correct me if I am wrong, I think that you have a longer commitment in the service after being a Recon Marine. But, the cutoff date for being a pilot is 28(or something like that) That would be really cool to say I...

Last year 96% of people went off to college after graduation. Found out that 40% of last years graduating class has a 3.5 GPA or above, and I am supposed to get in the top 20%!? I hate my school...:icon_rage

Is that a good thing?

I will get to yell at plebes when I am an upperclassmen, so it's all good... How many primary nominations do the local Congressmen get for each academy?

I am taking accelerated English[basically preps you for ap english], ap chemistry and a year ahead in math. Next year im going to take ap physics and ap english along with normal classes. Have a 3.5 gpa, in football[once a team captain] and track and close to getting eagle[boy scouts] I run a...

Since I know the Academy looks at your class ranking as #1, I was wondering if they gave any leeway to students going to completive schools. I have a 3.6 gpa and am in the top 40% of my class. At most other schools, I would be at least a top 25% of my class. Also, if I do not get into the...
