Okay, I'll bite. First paragraph - pretty good, although the opening sentence reads like something out of the letters in the Penthouse Forum ("I never thought this would happen to me..."). Second paragraph - not so good. There is no such word as "unreachableness." I know what you're...

Gotta be pretty secure in your masculinity to be holding FiFi, the killer canine, at the fly-in...a beer says this guy is already sporting a new call sign.

Keep it to one page in length, the more senior / experienced the writer the better, but only if he / she can say "I've known mdwAT2 for xx years..." Your former enlisted record, and your academics will weigh heavily and be primary documents that get reviewed. Your LORs should highlight...

http://www.usscoralsea.net/pages/video.html#71505 A nice thread with several great plat tape videos of mishaps on the Coral Maru, including a successful A-3 Whale barricade. Take the time to select the hot links that give greater details of the mishaps. Some spectacular crashes surprisingly...

Re: Jobs for ex-NFOs (those lucky enough to get out alive!) You forgot "Driver's License Examiner" for the on-the-road test phase. Can't be any worse than some of the crap I had to sit through inside of 3/4 of a mile...:eek: No need to name names...you guys know who you are... 439 traps...

Shortly after 9-11 I recommended to leadership (at the O-9 Vice Admiral level) that perhaps we ought to require all military members to travel in uniform in CONUS while traveling on orders. If you recall how hysterical the population was at the time, it seemed like a logical idea for four...

Everyone is in agreement on this one. Wasting a year for an admin check in the block risks wasting an opportunity. Your LT isn't doing you any favors on what is really an acknowledgement by your Reserve Command that they are aware you are applying, meet the basics as outlined in the...

Apologies for being late to this thread. I could write pages on places I've been, great flights, and fond memories and good friends. But the older I get, there's one thing that stands out in my mind. I have always been in awe of the fact that Naval Aviation is about teamwork and trusting...

It was my observation that the degree mattered less getting into flight school than the standard scores. Once upon a time, we had a guy in my RAG class who had a masters in aero engineering who washed out at the boat. We also had a music major as an instructor and several history / poly sci...

Best part of Cruise.

Do yourself a huge favor. Call the local recruiter or go online and look for Navy Officer Programs. There's a whole world waiting for you outside Oregon (or Texas, or New York, or wherever). Whether you stay for one tour or a career, it will be the best time of your life. It will also be the...

Hey, this internet thing can be used to do stuff other than surf porn! The link below (pages 2 & 3) answers both of your questions regarding whether summer cruises are accountable toward retirement, as well as the importance of keeping good records. I'm too feeble to do the math, but I am...

Straight skinny on Navy ROTC time counting towards retirement (from one who is old enough to retire). Regardless of what you may think, you are not on active duty while in Navy ROTC. At least not in the sense that the Navy views it. Therefore your four years of ROTC time don't count for...
