My second ride I was heaving so hard that I experienced this of the gas type...not fluid or solid. Not sure where the comm button is located in the T-34, but in the T-6 its on the side of the PCL. Everytime I have yakked I always seem to thrust my knees outward and trigger the mic for a few...

there are several things that get me sick quickly: 1) instructor flying 2) aggressive climbs, >20˚ where I lose sight of the ground 3) negative Gs and 4) multiple touch and go's in the pattern. Again, don't mean to be whining, just when any of the above occur the nausea sets in almost...

Have one...doesn't help at all. Perhaps I am not wearing it correctly although I believe I am...however, I do know that when I turn it up to levels 4 & 5 it causes my hand to flex involuntarily.

i appreciate the advice from everyone. The CO has my back here and regularly comes down to the flight to see how its going (he was a bad airsick case as well in primary). I hate the spin chair. I've done it so much that it doesn't bother me anymore...unfortunately it never really helped me adapt...

Has anyone with a history of airsickness experienced problems in helos? Specifically the 57? I have really been struggling with airsickness in primary and came within 2 rides of an elimination ride. I've gotten to the point where I can control it to where I am not active OR choke it back down...

if you call the NEX online store or whatever its called they have that stuff in stock and ship it overnight (I think they require it to be shipped overnight). Things might have changed but 1.5 years ago my friend got all of his dress blue stuff in less than a week.

got it thanks. we have to keep our logbooks here--there is a gouge sheet we get on check in. I already have a feeling its wrong. any chance if i called supply back at Pensacola they would ship me another one?

no it was just water. i was trying to fix a leak in the spigot on my Brita purifier. I ended up breaking it and spilling water everywhere. The pages are all crusty and some of the ink is smeared.

To make a long story short, I spilled some liquid on my logbook. Still usable but looks kinda crappy. Is there anyway I can get a new one?

My best friends at JSUPT have been Air National Guard and AF Reserve studs. Once they commission, they basically start the UPT process right away and know what they are going to fly. They said while they can't just suck at life, it takes some of the pressure off because they know their career...

also, not sure if this is what you are getting at, but per the ROD, if you attend a school (non NROTC affiliated) close to another school with an NROTC program, there is some paper work that can be done which will allow you to partake in the program. For instance, a student at another college...

I am not economics expert, but I think the problem has more to do with that more and more debt is devaluing the currency. The percent of GDP isn't as imporant, because as you pointed out, it varies per country. Since our currency is only worth something because our government says it does, there...

Did anyone else see these ESPY video interviews with Nastia Liukin, Matt Kemp/Jordan Farmar and Tony Gonzalez? I thought they were pretty funny! (I think there are a few more too) http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4338693&categoryid=null http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4338690...

Can't we just invest in that directly?

use a different company is my advice. we ran into problems for our patch having trademark/copyright issues. Some companies are willing to take the chance and others are much more reserved. Of the three I have dealt with, none have had an issue with wings.

the tier list is posted on the NROTC homepage.

when I was in API, I ran into a C-2 LT in the library. He said the Navy was looking into replacing the C-2 with Ospreys? I didn't do a search or read the whole thread, so I apologize if this was already covered.

I was stashed as an assistant recruiting officer at an NROTC unit. Feel free to PM me with any questions about NROTC regs. While I don't have the actual stats, I do believe it would be 'easier' to receive a commission through NROTC. Here's why...There are several different scholarships offered...

For anybody coming to Vance, our sims now count toward our NSS.

And on the same page, a link to an article where a helo pilot lost his license because of...welll why don't you just go and see http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2009/04/08/Pilots-license-revoked-after-oral-sex/UPI-46151239226686/

Yes, sir, of course. The individual I was referencing is also very good at making himself standout i.e. challenging ideas, showing up in wrong uniform, and, my favorite, wearing Oakley boots with his flightsuit. The first document I actually read here was the 33rd's "Dragon Rules Censored"...

I know one of the DIs up at Newport...maybe I will forward his pic :icon_smil

The consequences listed above by Godspeed are the exact same for those who want to pull out of the NROTC program after obligating. While in NROTC, I saw 3 people either withdraw or be disenrolled from the program. All 3 were obligated to repay the money. Also, I believe you can find numerous...

I don't know...Texas A&M and some of those places can be pretty involved as well.

I don't think anyone was asking a new question?

nice that should make things a bit easier for everyone.

they probably got it from that TV show JAG. He went from being a SEAL to a pilot to a JAG, back to a pilot, and finally, returned to being a JAG.

stand ups? don't you mean sit-downs?

i agree. i just looked it up because I didn't know what "Senior Military" was referencing.

And I respond with...Jessica Alba is shooting a movie in Enid right now I am working on getting a spot as a stand in.

I didn't volunteer for Vance. Its people who come here with that attitude that have the biggest chip on their shoulder. Its pilot training. You get to fly...its not that bad. Yea there are some things that sucks. I know I would enjoy Navy training better. However, if I came here with that...

When we failed our second boldface, this prior enlisted AF guy stood up and started bitching the entire class out. He told us that if we couldn't just copy this stuff down we should just drop out of pilot training. Made sense...until he consequently failed the next two tests and started a 3 week...

Here we go. Its actually "Senior Military College." There are six of them. Here is the wikipedia quote and link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_Military_College =============== In the United States, a Senior Military College (SMC) is one of six colleges that offer military Reserve...

I apologize if I was confusing. This is what I was referring to when I said contact 'both." I spoke directly with the LTs in charge of recruiting in the schools. The coordinators, as wink said, contacted me about the application process. However, on your application, the recruiting coordinators...

we have to earn our flightsuits again at Vance (since we go through Phase 1=API of Air Force Training). Until then we wear khakis. Earning flightsuits is different than API...you have to pass boldface EP tests...which means flightsuits can be taken away even on the flightline. This basically...

That completely depends on the school. NROTC is definitely not the once a week thing that some market it as at many schools. It also depends on your level of involvement. Even at the lowest level of involvement, you can probably count on having just more than 'one a week thing.' You may wear...

I actually like what the Navy is trying to do with the NWU and enlisted service uniforms. You go to a Navy base and you can see seven different uniforms being worn...just going to the hospital you could see utilities, johnny cash, etc. Now it would seem that everyone will be in the service...

not much you can do. get your whites/SDBs cleaned when you get closer to classing up. I have had several 3 uniform days (khakis to whites to flight suits). Also decide if you want to live on base or not. A lot of people initially are like eewwwww why would I want to live on base? In reality...

On a side note, you can review what others have said about you, at least according to the guy who gave me my TS interview.

dude if you want cheap but acceptable stay at the Tropicana...there are mirrors on the ceiling :-)

I was the assistant recruiting officer while stashed at NROTC after commissioning. They will wine and dine you, they will send you to Hawaii for free and promise you ridiculous amounts of pay BUT if you don't want to be a nuke, you won't be. You still have to get invited to a nuke interview...

The Spearmint Rhino is one of the most famous strip clubs in the world, and it is definitely a good time. I did not spend anymore there than I did at a decent strip club...it gets pricey if you go to a 'private room.' Lap dances take place out on the floor, so buying your buddy a dance will give...

Do both. Scholarships are on somewhat rolling admissions. You don't have to accept it if you don't want it and you get a 'free' year to decide if you want to continue the program.

AHAHAHAHAHA! Its so true!

yes, the clover leaf is essentially 4 loops in a row but you roll into the next one to make the 'leaf' appearance. I didn't know it was specific to here though.

so your already counting the days until you can get out before you've gotten in eh? I can't speak specifically to the supply corps, but having several friends who recently got out (2 aviators, one SWO(N) ) All of them found great jobs...I think having your military background as an officer...

hmmmm i would ask around this board and whoever your program director is to see if this includes PRK. To me, that would seem to be a waste of a potential pilot if you were not allowed to undergo PRK, but I know STA-21 is different that other commissioning programs.

Very true, you don't have the luxury of a guaranteed designator and I did go to a school that was 40k+ a year. The reason I recommend NROTC over BDCP is simply the experience. I got to do really cool stuff...CORTRAMID, summer cruises (Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, San Diego), leadership...
