I Just started crossfit and it definitely forces you to go beyond your comfort zone. I couple it with weight training/pullups/running and I feel horrible by the end of day (horrible in a good way though).

Crossfit is unreal. My workout is as follows: Mon: CFE (crossfit endurance) + Weight room (arms/shoulders) + 2 miles on soft surface (field/trails) Tuesday: CF (crossfit at 9am) + Weight room (legs/after a break) + Track Sprints Wednesday: Weight room + Distance Run 5 miles or so XC Thursday: CF...

Same here man, got my Elec Eng degree two weeks ago!! Congrats and now we're on to real stuff.

Yeah I started it this week...and got my ass kicked!!! haha It's the hardest most intense workout routine I've ever tried. I'm in pretty good shape (15 pullups, 100 crunches, 22min 3mile) and it lit me up. I puked on the first workout. Definitely going to keep doing it and keep taking my...

BINGO, I'm sorry things worked out this way for you man. Medical history is a beotch. You messed up going around the OSO like you did. One thing you need to understand is that there is always a chain of command in place and you DO NOT violate it. Take it as a lesson learned and move on to other...

My right eye is good to go, but my left eye is the only thing holding up my flight physical. I had the PRK redone about 2 weeks ago so we'll see in a few weeks if it's fixed. I think they got me squared away, but PRK being what it is, the healing process is somewhat dynamic over the first month...

Fix the grammatical errors!!! Don't end sentences with prepositions and throughout is one word. For example: Throughout the years as a Naval Sea Cadet I have Learned to go by the following three great values: Courage, Honor, and Commitment. Just a suggestion. EDIT

I second this post!! Systane and Optive are good stuff. I had the same problem man...exact same problem -1.25 and all.

This is more or less what I heard and was getting at. Good to know that they try to help us engineers out a little!!

I've heard that it "numerically" doesn't count that much, but they definitely look at it when considering the "Whole Person Concept". Who knows man. I've got 100 hrs of pretty "good" time in Cessnas doing VFR/IFR and Citabrias doing ACRO so you never know. Good Luck!!

Sir, This is not necessarily true in my experience. The AF/Navy/Marine Corps says that your GPA matters and not your degree type, but every one recruiter/OSO I've ever talked to said this was a fallacy. They look at your degree type when considering your GPA (at least to my knowledge). I...

THX...I'll check them out. I've heard of them but never used them or even seen one in person.

Yeah my flight instructor has on and he likes it so I'll probably buy his off of him. BTW...that mic cover is the little foam "sock" that goes over the mic. It has one on it, but it's torn.

Read the ARCO book. It will tell you what sections are/aren't on the ASTB and AFOQT so you can see what they have in common. Mostly I'd just worry about the Math, Verbal, Aero sections. So yes, I'd go through the AFOQT part as well. I took the AFOQT first and did this with the ASTB and got 99's...

Gentleman, I've got a DC H20-10 headset (not the ENC model). I'm going to probably get the DC X11 or Bose so I'm going to let this one go. I'll sell it for $160 Shipped. Not flying a whole lot right now. It's in great shape but needs a new mic-cover. That's probably a 10 cent part. Works great...

haha well put!! I've seen my friends that are in flight school do this sort of thing before. Come home for a football game / IFR training flight back into good ole' Clemson. Funny how that sort of thing makes sense when you say it the second way!!

Sounds like a good OSO to have!!! Good luck man..3 milers suck (I'm no great runner)

I understood this last point. However, my diopter was about 1.5 so that makes sense there!! Thanks

Here are mine: Colonel of my ROTC detachment at school Captain of " " " Flight Instructor My Manager at Work Church Pastor (I am actively involved) Professor that Does Know Me (elec eng is a small department) Hope that helps a little!!

I'm having my touch-up done next week so I can help you out. The Doc' at Beaufort MCAS told me specifically that she could clear my flight physical after a 3 month wait instead of the published 6 month. You will have to call whoever will be doing your flight physical to see if this can be done...

Is it just me or are they not just asking for someone to come over there and humble them? Kind of freaks me out that I'm seeing this much crazy stuff on the news about one country all the time.

You're ok as far as I know for SNA. My doc told me I had to be below 1 diopter of astigmatism in both eyes which is my problem (my left eye is 1.5 ish). They're redoing the PRK on my left eye soon and hopefully I'll be able to contract for SNA in a few months!!

I use my couch also...by no means do I have six pack abs, but crunches aren't an issue for me. Use weighted sit ups as well. Hold a 10lb weight on your chest and try declined sit ups.

Before I say anything, I'll add the disclaimer that I'm an Electrical Eng. Major with a PPL/Tailwheel and currently working on my instrument rating. I thought the ARCO book prepared me well for the ASTB. Obviously don't rely on it solely. Use the Marine Gouge and any other sources that you...

I took the AFOQT first and got 99's (studied my tail off for that thing). It ended up helping me out alot on the ASTB where I got 8/8/8!! Not bragging at all, but that ARCO book and the Marine Gouge was the only thing I used so it's pretty decent.

Customs and Courtesies Hey man, Piece of advice from another candidate and a prior AFROTC guy. Look up Customs and Courtesies online. When you meet your OSO your first conversation should go something like this: Good Afternoon/Morning/Evening Sir, (Insert Firm Handshake Here) I am...
