no we should carry USPs!

so....uh kobyra...do you ever get that satellite over to a...uh beach...with free-spirited young women...and get some closeup photos?

Yup looks good. Same things we got except numbers are diff and my school won't give any credit for intro to nav sci.

What if we mounted lots of deathrays on one? Then give it an AEGIS system to run its deathrays and BOOM we get an invincible dirigible. Oh wait, it might fight off a swarm of missiles but it can't do anything against a stream of 20mm cannon shells. There goes my idea.

...from what I remember you can only get congressional nomination from YOUR district congressman. I don't believe the President is a nominating authority last I checked, although the VP and Senators representing your state definitely also are. Just a suggestion...it could really, really help...

you also get a really really boring class which is called intro to naval science. IMO it should be renamed intro to the Navy. You learn all this exciting stuff about various court martials, what the naval customs are...really gets you fired up at 0800 when your eyes are blazing red from a...

I'm curious though, I've heard for example that the RIO helps big time in target acquisition and study prior to the mission since the pilot can focus on navigation rather than target study. I've also heard that 14's can also Fast-FAC to call in Hornets which is also useful I'm sure. I've also...

Tom is my friend. He can run at Mach 2.3 and carries these really big metal things that go boom when you hit them too hard. But he can only fly when he sticks in his special battery called a "pie-lut." He's a real special guy. And unfortunately kev, jaeroses's air defense system wouldn't work...

F-14s were designed to ripple off Phoenix missiles to kill cruise missiles. Let's see the MiG or Sukhois try that. As for dogfighting...I don't believe I'm qualified to speak on the matter and I honestly don't know of course. But scuttlebutt says the Tom is a great bomber.

Quite true but Mustangs are definitely hot.

I'd hate to be called Maverick...such a homoerotic connotation once you've watched Top Gun : )

aston martin is American bub.

Hey if you gotta die, they can die in style. :D

I'm curious, during ROTC, is it more important to be on varsity athletics or can you fill up leadership with ROTC positions? I mean, I'm in IM sports and I'm no couch potato, but there's no way I could make my school's teams, and I don't want to be a benchwarmer.

To clarify the "Naval" F-86 issue: The FJ-1 Fury by North American was the first operation USN jet fighter sqdn. It was the PREDECESSOR to the F-86. It was straight wing. The FJ-2/4 Fury was swept wing. It was based off the F-86 itself. There ya go. As for what Flash said...I kinda have to...

My friend is a Marine Op who's about 6ft, and weighs only about 150. He's also always talking about drugs and came up with names like "BoyGeorge" and "EltonJohn" for his rifle. THe Marines are getting some really "outofthemold" types I guess.

Lol yeah, that was a ridiculous way to win.

I've got a slightly different version: An F-15 is escorting a B-52 and is doing slow rolls around the bomber and making a general ass of itself. After his little aerial demonstration, he says: "Anything you can do, i can do better." The BUFF guys take up the challenge. The F-15 watches...and...

oh man those last two posts made my head hurt.

what the? I don't know guns but KE is definitely 1/2m(v)squared. In other words, increasing v will have a proportionally larger effect than increasing m. But I've always thought rifle bullets did damage from the oscillation induced after it penetrated the body which tears the person apart as...

After the court martial of course : )

This is why i prefer the Top Gun DVD. Just skip the gay parts.

Alright, thanks gatordev for writing that up.

That reminds me...we were all gathered outside my high school 2 yrs ago to commemorate one month after Sep 11 when a Blackhawk flew over twice. Some people were pretty freaked. It's weird, most "flybys" I've seen were planes on their way to a flyby. Never at an actual event.

Oh man gatordev is still here...AWESOME. Yeah I'm doing a presentation on the Seahawk and it was confusing with all the variants out there. Thanks for clearing the confusion gatordev. What's up with the Romeo though? It sounds real badass but most articles seem to imply that it's having growing...

it's been posted before, but it's usna.edu/FlyNavy/Downloads

So how many variants of the Seahawk are in USN service or are planned to enter USN service? If I've got this straight, it's Bravos, Foxtrots, Hotels, and Romeos. Is this right?

nev mind i got it.

That movie is so full of homoerotic innuendo it's annoying.

anybody have the link to the page that has the Blue Angels and Iceman the Later Years video clips? My computer crashed recently and I had to wipe everything.

It's like reviving one of wintersib's topics. Why would anyone do it?

Congratulations, and good luck with the rest of the process.

Maybe they were reenacting Pearl Harbor and it was playing the role of a Val or Betty : ) I saw a B-1 today. Now THAT was freaky. AHHH they're bombing my campus! Friendly fire!

Marijuana fueled rocketry, eh?

LOL! That's awesome. And he didn't bust up the plane, he knew what he was doing?

I don't think so...you could just have fat hands(j/k). Seriously, I also had nasty callouses on my hand from archery, I think, it's just what happens when you're skin is constantly getting puckered up and bunched up off your body.

Rayman...what camera trick you talkin about?

well...it is AIR FORCE security... :P

As far as I know, a suit can't hurt, but it might not mean anything. If you want to know NROTC proper civilian attire standards, that would be collared shirt(button down or polo is best), "nice" pants, like chinos or khakis, and a belt. Shoes, not sandals or sneakers. As long as you meet these...

God Tests Navy Seals Intellegence One day a squad of Navy Seals was making for an objective in their rubber boat. With each stroke of the paddle, they whispered that particularly unique Seal grunt - ooyah. Ooyah ... ooyah ... ooyah. God looked down from above and was beside himself with pride...

gotcha. I already have a disgustingly thick pair of callouses on my big toes that constantly build up and I have to cut them down to normal size every two weeks or so or they'd start ripping off...pretty disgusting.

its still a high. It may make you a security risk if you get addicted to it. Imagine: You've just been shot down and captured and you're being interrogated by some crazy North Koreans...they say "Give us all the secrets or we'll lock you up and never let you run again!" How wud u react to THAT...

Wasn't that Johnny Depp who said that?

apples are sweet but they suck for games-and that's only b/c they don't make many for Apple. For everything else they pretty much humiliate their Pentium counterparts. It's really sad when you realize how many laptop innovations have come and still come out from Apple, yet PC's are still #1.

I've gone through very little more than you but I'll try to help. Just things that a lot of other fourth class i noe have on the "wish they told us list." For one thing, you're guaranteed/forced(depends on how you look at this) an assignment into a "frontline" service. I don't think this is...

That's a new one...they should add that to the security checklist: 1)Have you experimented with recreational drugs? 2)Have you sniffed paint or glue? 3)Do you enjoy running to the point of exhaustion to give yourself a high?"

For the duct taping feet thing...will that work for just plain running as well to prevent blisters? And how many layers should you put on?

They do spinal taps!? Aww ####! I dunno the idea of drawing fluid from the spine just makes me queasy...I don't like needles to begin with. ####!

Speaking seriously, you should make your own decision based on the fact that saying you've messed around with drugs(whether or not it was habitual) will hurt your chances. Also, you better make sure it's not a habit b/c they will drug test you. I wonder if they do a spinal tap or not? One mid I...

Jaerose's link is perfect. Pretty much a physics textbook w/out the clutter.
