    The Great Universal Health Care Debate w/Poll (note: it just passed both houses)

    No, not people expecting something for nothing??? :icon_long The arrogance behind thinking that you can write a 2000 page bill that treats me better than I'll treat myself is astonishing. I underlined my favorite part!!!

    My Uncle was a Seabee in Vietnam. One of the most generous and most admirable men I know. His experience in the Seabees has made him somewhat of a millionaire now as well.

    HBO series "The Pacific" preview

    Ridiculous Hairstyle? Sorry if the Marine Corps high and tight gets you all butt hurt. To answer your question: Yes, I'm aware. I was being emphatic. The show was very good.

    Just saw the first episode on HBO. It's on right now for some reason (thought it wasn't coming out until Wednesday). Very good, but the haircuts were killing me!!

    There's a thread here about that. Basically no-one knows how much it 'helps'. Most deem it unnecessary in order to apply. The only reason I got mine was to make sure this is really what I wanted to do for a living.

    Don't have 20/20 Eyesight, but I'm close. Does that make me less competitive?

    If you're 20/40 or better then you're good and it won't affect your chances of selection.

    Navy vs Air Force

    Quit believing everything you read on the internet. That 112 slots is BS. I saw the distribution of Pilot slots for the AF nationwide for 2007 when I was in ROTC and there were a lot more than 100.

    Marine Air contracts

    204 is closed for air/law/ground for OCC. 205 is going to be extremely competitive (read: 285+ PFT and a very good package to get in, from my OSO).

    Thinking about NROTC rather than AFROTC

    I'll echo what the other people said. Don't do ROTC if you're not ok with not being in an Aviation MOS. There's no way for you to know what you're going to get (outside of commissioning and even that's not guaranteed). All you can do in ROTC is work hard, do your best, and hope things go your way.

    I emailed the OR today. He said things are a little backed up but boards were held (take that for what it's worth). NAVYOCS.com had results for Supply boards and Intel from February so It would seem he was right.

    Calling all engineers

    I know exactly what you're referring to here ( I'm an EE ). They're not as hard as you want them to be. In circuits, dealing with AC sources/caps/inductors/etc..., you'll find that it's much easier to work in the imaginary plane compared to representing things with COS/SIN functions and trying...

    No one else in this thread wants to say it so I will: Engineering is HARDER THAN OTHER MAJORS. The courses are designed to be a '5-year kick in the nuts' crammed into 4 years and classes require dedication and a lot of sacrifice from your social life. I had courses where we only 3 tests...

    This is a little different way of doing things, but if your closest college has an AFROTC program then you could contact them and ask if their are any particular recruiters (officer mainly) that they would recommend. Usually those guys know who closest OTS recruiter. Don't listen to the "go...

    Gun ban at Colorado State U...very interesting comments.

    The Colorado State University Board of Governors voted unanimously Tuesday to place students at both of its campuses in harm’s way with a sweeping weapons ban law-abiding citizens will obey and criminals will ignore. First paragraph says it all.

    Blackwater 61

    Well said. I guess common sense is a virtue the 'bozos', or their bosses for that matter, severely lacked and it cost these guys their lives. I don't know who to feel more sorry for...the widows who have to continually suffer these fools, or the guys who potentially froze to death at 20...

    Blackwater 61

    It's hard to imagine that they would even let two in-experienced pilots fly in unfamiliar airspace like that with no supervision. Pretty surprising lack of SA on that voice recording. It sounded like they had no clue where they were going.

    Car choice and moving

    Highlanders are pretty nice. My 4runner has been bulletproof. I got it with 65K on it and I've put another 65K on it with little more than oil changes and tire change. No problems to speak of and none in the forseeable future. You'll regularly see 4runners with 300K plus on them. Great trucks...

    Return of Turboprops to CAS role?

    Pardon my ignorance if this question has already been asked, but is there something a Turboprop-Attack A/C squadron can do that an AF A-10 squadron or likewise couldn't handle? Is it simply a matter of linger/loiter time or are the Turboprops really that much better for the CAS role?

    Car choice and moving

    FWIW... I like the Fusion (good car for the money), Altima (great looking and better all around for the money than the fusion), and TSX (best looks overall and probably the nicest interior)

    Flight Physical Wait Time?

    I hate to break it to you, but I don't think anyone I know has had they're EKG work right the first time. Mine took about 4-5 attempts before it worked out and still wasn't a 'good one' according to the corpsman, but he said it looked fine. Whatever that means. And BTW, my physical was done in...
