I'm pretty sure if we let this topic go on long enough we'll be able to find the entire script of Top Gun in here eventually.

cool thanks. Here's to acing that PRT.

Umm...I'm not sure how it goes for OCS...but should be same with possible exception of last rank President Vice President SecDef SecNavy Chairman JCS CNO Commandat USMC CNET I don't know if CNET is in your chain of command or not...although I think it applies to ALL training.

Yeah my girl just got back from Cuba. Got me some cigars too, even though I don't smoke.

Wow thanks for the help peeps. I think I've got a few weeks. I've been doing about 30 min a day 3 times a day, just like u said, for about a week now...could you tell me how to stretch shins? I've never heard of that before.

The plan is to have them available in increments of time.

Doubledown...in the media's defense...wait not in their defense, exactly. It's just they're businessmen, and liberal slant sells in America apparently. Yeah they'll always play up some poor kid from Iowa who got his leg blown off in Iraq but that's b/c it sells. Nobody likes seeing the...

Any advice? I'm a terrible runner(best mile was 8 min) and I've got a PRT coming up. Motivation isn't a problem since if I fail I "get" to join the Marines for their three days a week 0500 morning PT. Like what's a good way to start off a running program since I have no experience running...

Lol ok got it...sounds painful. How ironic that the naval science class topic for me today was tolerance of others...

Innocent college freshman here...what the hell's roshambo?

Well, I figure if you fly low, you're closer to the ground. If you're closer to the ground, you have less time from loss of engine to the time you smack into the ground. B-1s and F-111s fly low...they have ejection seats. I'm just joking about the asshole officer flyboy thing of course...sort of.

If Black Hawk Down is at all accurate in its helicopter scenes...I'd say typically yes. But then that's like not putting ejection seats in a B-1 or F-111 since they also fly low penetration missions. I still put my money on the pissed off enlisted crew theory. B-1s and F-111s are only crewed by...

LOL Gator it's no problem for me(I mean this forum is AIR warriors) but for my friend whose primary ambition was to work at a Naval Research laboratory, it came as a big shock. He was already struggling w/20credits a semester for his masters in aero+bachelors in Mech E program on top of ROTC...

Seems like the Navy(that's right even the Navy not just Marines) now proud themselves on being all hardcore and the Air Force prides itself on having the good life. I don't know how it was a few years ago, but now EVERY graduating mid will end up in surf. war, aviation, subs, SEALs, or Marine...

Clearance from the using command must be obtained before any questionable operation, which is not specifically permitted in this manual, is attempted. Hmm, engine out at 200ft on solo flight...now what's the radio frequency for the "using command." Wait, what's the chain of command, who's my...

I've been doing some swimming conditioning to get 1st class swimming to avoid the stupid yearly swim quals. Anyway, one thing I've learned is that men just suck at floating. It just can't be helped. Especially if you're like most military types, made up of very little flat and shaped like a V...

Mmmm Dasani water....

hey viv, I was pretty damn pissed when I found out i cudnt even apply to USNA or NROTC but I just put out regular apps and landed at CU. I'm a College Programmer now, and I've got to say I'm having a blast. Every time I wake up for drill and Tuesdays and Thursdays, I pity the poor bastards at...

Sadly, we did not win. Air Farce won. But we WOULD have won if half the damn unit didn't come over to the volleyball court and lose us two games by keeping the good ppl off the court. Even then we were winning in standings at the end until Air Farce bribed the last place hopeless case Army with...

Mmm I gotta admit, most of my drinking ed has come through whiskey, scotches and weird Asian brands offered by relatives. Weird as it sounds, I've only had maybe 20-30 beers since i started drinking at an ethically acceptable age, mostly while I was in Germany too. Over here it's like...

Mmm it was a frat party, so the beer was free but unmarked. Tasted like a generic Bud to me though. Got busted though so we had to clear out pretty quick. : ) Anyway, if you look on the guest book some other nutcase signed it thinking this was some game site too. It's just...really freaky...

Here's a transcript of an AIM conversation I had: EDDY6666: Hi Is there any place online to play this game Vegita1220: who the hell are you? Vegita1220: and what game? EDDY6666: someone looking to play this game online Vegita1220: what game? EDDY6666: air Warriors Vegita1220: its not a...

Hehe I take it Queers isn't the public friendly nickname for the VQ guys. Seriously, I have no idea what the "official" nick for Prowlers is.

I think what TSPO is trying to say is...leave your ####ing hand on the ####ing ejection handle when you take off. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

i thought porn wasn't illegal? Or is it only legally restricted to magazines? Or did this zoomie have a weird kiddie porn fetish?

go ahead TSPO we all know you're bitter j/k. Seriously, I'm interested in hearing if you don't mind starting an inevitable flame war...which is guaranteed to happen.

LOL I've seen that Special olympics picture before. It's cruel but it def makes a point.

Hummer, Hoover, Turkey, Bugs, don't remember what Prowlers are called...was it Queers for VQ? Not sure.

Boo Av Fan AND F-16! Actually, I'm just kidding, being the young'un I am compared to some of the old buzzards here I don't know about the Viper's early reliability problems so I just think it's the ugliest thing to fly. Don't know how "style over substance" came about cuz that thing's UGLY!

WHAT! Are you serious? Do they work? I remember in Golden Eye the ejection system looked like it could theoretically work, and I always wondered why US helos don't have anything like that...I know it's still impractical for most helos but it might work. I'm guessing it's the same reason the...

Marrying an American will definitely speed up and guarantee green card(which is really the hard part), but will not facilitate citizenship(which is the long but easy part) in any way. In case you were starting to actually consider that.

ugh ship and no flying? So what, they stick u on a sub or cruiser? Do they even do stuff if deployed with subs/surface warfare? Or are they just worthless lumps of sod that get in the way during damage control drills?

No offense dude, but entering your Air Force, and entering the USN are going to be equally bitching hard, just in different ways. Getting a green card is hard enough and takes time unless you can find a sponsor. Then there's the citizenship application, without prior US military service, which...

yeah my unit's got a semper fi too, but it's open to anybody. Part of that may be b/c Marines are HEAVILY outnumbered here initially...at least till they meet our gunny. He has a way of...motivating people. But our entering class is about 2 marines out of 22 NROTC mids.

OK I guess I can kinda help since my situation is somewhat similar to yours. My citizenship is not American, which is why I couldn't apply for a ROTC scholarship. However, someone in the Navy was smart enough to realize that many legal immmigrants may want to join up, and they made a College...

u guys are making me cry.

oh man on the subject of navy PT gear, is it just me or do the PT shorts plain suck? I mean I think they made them so short to motivate the fat people to lose weight faster. I mean you don't want to run around your college campus showing off thunderthighs. My chief gave me the "extralongs" and...

Lol.

Yeah, that's what they say...I'm sure "mounds" means something else though.

Yeah, except I like being part of the warrior class Seeing some of the Air Force students here at API, I have to say that the Air Force female uniform is the most unprofessional and ridiculous looking I've ever seen. They wear their pregnant shirts untucked. It's so nasty. LOL! Those are...

So at my unit we tell jokes before starting off morning drill. Unfortunately we've been running out of em. So any help would be appreciated. I know Marine jokes but the scary Marine gunnery sergeant would beat my ass and if I tell Navy jokes the upperclassmen will beat my ass. So that leaves...

oh...alright got it. Thanks dudes.

Man that sucks. I wanted to do something over summers. Nothing even if I pick up a scholarship huh? Damn.

Umm..guys you're confusing me here, but what I'm so brilliantly deducing is that I can got CORTRAMID if I want...but I can't go on an actual cruise, right? Which is fine since I'm a 4/C freshman anyway. I guess I'll just ask my advisor. Thanks anyway guys.

OK I'm still not a citizen but I've been enrolled in the College Program. My question is, do College Programmers still get to go on summer cruise? Or is their NROTC commitment school year only. I'm curious since I saw on another topic that NROTC scholarship students get an interim security...

Yeah I watch that almost everyday... "you can be my wingman anytime" "yeah, right...whatever." "wait, don't go......these guys are dangerous."

Just wondering, how long do officers normally serve on shore duty like ROTC before rotating out again? Is there a fixed number of years? We're getting a new Lt. after this year and I'm wondering how long he'll be with us. The current guy was in Prowlers.

Hmm..good point. Still your perspective would be enlightening, much more than a TV station anyway, especially since the event was "edited" for broadcast convenience.

grist i hope ure not basing the racism off my comments...b/c I'm Asian myself. I'm just poking fun at stereotypes.

But where is HornetDriver to defend his platform. His perspective on this would be interesting.
