Their self-esteem counselors.

He's referring to Paintball I believe.

MARINE = My A$$ Rides In Navy Equipment :D The Marine majors are just as varied as the Navy ones. Anywhere from Engineering to PoliSci. Technical major matters less to the Marines I believe, but it's been a while since I've been in ROTC.

It's a toss up decision. You're going to live all over the place in the Navy, so if you want to stay in-state for college, it's not a big deal. I stayed in-state (mostly because I didn't have the money to visit colleges around the country). That being said, DON'T live at home during college...

Get a car. Your chances of living on base are slim to none. Not only that, but it's a decent commute to the beach, downtown, and other great places like Destin and Mobile. Pensacola is a very spread-out city/town. Get a car, trust us.

To the true alcoholic, St. Patrick's Day never ends.

MARINE = Muscles Are Required, Intelligence Not Essential :D

It is true that the Rhino can't carry as many different types of weapons as the Hornet, which is changing rapidly as the VX squadrons keep testing. That's what happens when you have a completely different wing and set of aerodynamics. The jets look similar, but they're not. As for the HARM...

Yeah, fat, ugly Mexican chicks. Though, you can always hook-up with underage senior officer's daughters.... calling Feddoc.

Drink. Drink a lot.

A yes, Dos Gringos.

What he means is right now the attitude up high is "a hornet pilot is a hornet pilot is a hornet pilot". Flying F's right now, I could end up in C's for a second tour (that would SUCK).

Not advocating single-issue voting at all, but Giuliani is not 2nd Amendment friendly. Look at New York City, some of the worst gun control laws in the country.

The Supreme Court has largely refused to hear a 2nd Amendment case in the past. Wonder if they'll hear this one.

Wrong. Dead wrong. There is NO RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT for a CCL in FL.

Ok, I haven't read all the replies, but I've already seen bad gouge. If you don't know anything about MA gun laws, don't post. They're very specific. CaptainRon, PM me with your questions and I will respond when I have time. I still hold a LTC-A from MA.

They sure can. My F-18F squadron are the only FAC(A)'s in the airwing.

Oh I know what JTAC means, I just couldn't remember if Navy JTACs are still called FACs like the Marines use it.

Gotcha. I can't remember if Navy FACs are called JTAC or not (for the aviators). I worked with some Navy FACs a couple months ago, couldn't remember what we called them.

Have the Marines adopted the term JTAC yet? Unless it's a FAC(A), we just use JTAC. It's easier.

FAC or FAC(A)? Harrier Dude answered one part, I'll answer the other... yes NFOs can qualify as FAC(A).

Pensacola, Whiting, North Island, Brunswick... been there too ;)

Your best resource is the housing office at NAS Meridian. They are a major hookup when it comes to finding a rental house. It is required to check-in with them on your arrival at base anyway, partly because the realtors in town can either be A) shady or B) have no information. Trust me, the...

Because sometimes it's just healthy to bitch about something :)

There is a reason for this, it's called statistics. Drivers under 25, especially men, are statistically worse than those over 25. Same reason for insurance premium variations.

I love my aircraft, and there aren't any Rhinos on a stick anywhere right now that I know of, but I fully expect to see one some day. There are plenty of Hornets and Tomcats on sticks. Maybe it's just different, seems like there are a lot more jets on sticks than helos, it's a common sight.

You felt sick because of a Phrog on a stick? Why? There are plenty of aircraft on sticks everywhere.

Go in with 1 or 2 dudes and rent a house. There are only two apartment complexes worth living in in Meridian and they're overpriced.

Do E's do any RMC type stuff?

I think of him like Al Franken... a useless idiot who is using their success from comedy to push a political agenda.

Well, Bill Maher, one of the biggest putzes on TV, has done it again. He couldn't stop after calling the 9/11 hijackers "warriors". Instead, he says this little quip: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,256650,00.html

A JD? The masses shall cower in fear.

I hate to say it, but this deserves a "search before you post" comment. This topic has been discussed ad noseum.

I don't think you could come out ahead at WPI... by the time I graduated it was $34K/year.

What a fvcking scam. GOOD WORK!

If you're talking 100%, then you have me beat :) (I didn't pay 1 cent for my education... except what will end up being an 11 year commitment)

You make me laugh. Paid a sh!t-ton? My college was paid for AND I got a monthly stipend. Beat that. ;)

As a native of Massachusetts, this title should be "Bahston is still Retahded"

1000 rounds is an arsenal of ammo for the news. 1000 rounds is a normal shipment for me. Morons.

Rhino. The legacy Hornet, while a proven work-horse, is old, broken, and showing its age. Ask any Hornet driver, I have yet have one say anything different. Sure, it gets upgraded here and there, but it is not setup for the systems that the Rhino will see in the coming years. That's the...

Congrats buddy! Prepare for your brain to explode several times in the next couple of years. You have no idea what you're getting yourself into, trust me :) It's going to suck in the beginning, count on that, but it does get a whole lot better. Enjoy!

I've walked from the pier to the gate, and vice versa, completely obliterated. It's not that far. You can waste your money if you want to, but I'd just suck it up.

First off, don't ever listen to a Primary instructor, who flew anything but jets, talk about jets. They don't know sh!t. End of story. Just like a jet guy talking to you about helos or maritime, they also won't know sh!t about that. You are correct, it's very tough in Primary to get a true...

Pensacola Gun Shows suck sh!t. They're way overpriced... WAY overpriced. Jay's I believe is owned by the same people that own Mike's. That or they are partners.

Mike's Outdoor Sports is where everyone tends to go, though they can be a bit rude sometimes.

None of the FCLP passes count for the line period. It's just getting ready for JTFEX.

I would like you to meet Random Task.

Don't sweat it. I didn't pre-study one bit. With the length of ground school, etc, it's not required. I suggest drinking, because soon life is going to suck before it gets any better.

Comments: A) That's Corpus? Damn, looks pretty close to how Whiting is laid out, too. Cool. B) I haven't seen a T-34 flight line in years. Weird. C) Entirely over-dramatic. D) I'm impressed. Very well put together, some great footage, especially the spin and tail-chase Your buddy does good...

Your squadron doesn't do them?
