    Serious Question concerning Questionaire for National Security Postions

    You paid that SOB!!!! I'd get my money back. I would have had a court appointed, pro bono, lawyer represent me. It sounds like your employer smoke screened you into paying for nothing. Oh, don't be sorry, I'd be pissed.

    management or leadership

    Agreed, a leader develops innnovative ways of better accomplishing tasks. A manager simply follows tried and true methods of handling situations and looks to established guidance to answer problems. Where a manager runs into a stumbling block is when there is no established policy to solve a...

    As for the 16 year old, keep your headup and see you someday in the fleet. As for what service etc., apply for everything and decide later.

    OCS as a summer cruise?

    It's good to see that a gentleman that just earned his butter bars has acquired the wisdom to make the observation that Naval Officer's are other than squared away. You should make General within, oh say, a week. No offense, but getting yelled or marching your cassmates to the chow hall does...

    Does everyone and their grandma want jets?

    Secretly everyone wants jets. Now they'll tell you they don't so they can borrow your gouge. In the end, the same people who you studied with, allowed to see your notes, and let cry on your shoulder will scurry into a dark corner of their apartment when it's time to fill out their dream sheets...

    Am I screwed?

    Oh and don't be afraid of NOMI. An enlisted guy is taking your blood pressure, if it's high tell him your going to kick your feet up for a few minutes and then he/she can take another reading. Don't ask, be assertive, remember the first letters in assertive are ass. It's your career. Also, the...

    Am I screwed?

    In that case change your picture to a 172 and enjoy. Honestly, the Navy will probably do an EKG to view your heart at work and then make a decision. The best and brightest are at Bethesda, so I'd plan on buying an airline ticket. If your ROTC at Riddle you may be able to scehdule your own visit...

    NFO to Air National Guard pilot? Age waivers?

    Dude, I can't believe that no one has replied to this post yet. Your OSO sold you some bad gouge? I thought you were an officer, take all the responsibility on your own shoulders. As for getting a pilot slot at 33 in the guard, fugetaboutit.

    Need some advice please!

    I'll just add this because it comes up frequently. Recruiters are not payed any incentives to put you in the Navy. They are interested in helping you and the selection process is slow. Once your paperwork is submitted the selection board may take six months or longer and in the end you may be...

    Need some advice please!

    The program your referring too is called the BDCP program. Think of it as a company signing bonus. For you committing to enter OCS and then train for a specific job as an officer in the Navy, the Navy will begin paying you while your still in college. 2500 sounds about right and you'll continue...

    big 4 inspection question

    OCS is test of how much poopie you'll put up with. If you do the big four perfectly, your shirts will not be ironed perfectly. If your shirt are ironed perfectly, you won't march perfectly.

    joining the navy reserve

    After the BRAC list was released I would say any need for future manpower evaporated. However, the Air Guard will be more than happy to offer you a helo slot without prior experience.

    T-34 Preflight Question

    Great question and this is what this forum should be about. Although I have no idea, I'd reccomend asking your onwing directly, seems fishy that other instructors don't know the answer. Also, ask the maintenance guys. They're civilians and will assist anyone for a free six pack.

    There is always 2 people involved in any relationship and when one checks out the relationship ceases. It's obvious that this guy has NO RESPECT for his other half, if he'd air his dirty laundry in public. I'm sure he hasn't limited this conversation to an online discussion, i.e. the ready room...

    In that case... If this guy stops dating girls that are eligible for the prom. he wouldn't have such a whiney, needy, obsesive old lady. Relationships are based upon mutual respect, i.e. she would understand your need to devote 100% to flight training and give you the space needed...

    Possibility of NFO to Pilot.

    I agree that those who want to be a pilot should be pilots. Those who want to be NFO's should be NFO's. These are two distinct jobs. In truth, many pilot's consider NFO's on par with say, a flight attendant. Being myself an NFO, I must ask would anyone like anything?

    Question about GPS/DME during holds

    You can TACAN and VOR over the station - when the needle first passes 90 degrees relative bearing or the first reversal of the to/from flag is station passage. A TACAN is military for VOR/DME - same animal - same local.

    Question about GPS/DME during holds

    Altitude has no effect on GPS, however, it does on VOR navigation. When close to the station VOR's display your altitude. If your holding via an intersection then a VOR will read correctly regradless of your altitude (slant range), i.e. turn when the DME read a specific distance, say 15 miles or...
