You would think they would change the nomenclature to fix this kind of misunderstanding, to most it probably wouldn’t be a big deal, but for those in our position this could be a bad day. Dr's make mistakes too. Every time I went into the dr’s office they kept referring to my PRK surgery as...

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/12/06/marine.crash/index.html Good to hear pilot is doing fine. I have always been under the impression the Harrier cant fly supersonic, this article says it can. I looked at the USMC info on the web and it doesn’t say. The MFR lists its max speed at 1.0 mach...

Hal, you flew the Piaggio! how was it, ive seen tons of articles about it, what are your impressions?

LASIK: Waiver shall not be recommended (WNR) for all applicant and designated aviation duty personnel in Classes I and II http://www.nomi.med.navy.mil/Nami/WaiverGuideTopics/ophthalmology.htm#lasik No Lasik, and even if it were waverable I would not recomend it (based on my research) I had...

Navy fcu career starter loan 0$ Marine fcu starter loan 0$ USAA starter loan 25,000 at 3.59% if you have any interest rates more than that (which you do) it pays to use it. It will save a lot of money on interest on a house for example. (information based on last month)

D'oh you all beat me to it

Well im in the Marines, but for your purposes i dont think it matters. What are you doing in DC, u go to school there? Well my mom was the same way she completely disapproved of me joining, said all the same crap, she tried telling me I couldnt tell my extended family what I do for a living at...

You certanly dont need to be, but fitness, leadership, and teamwork are good things on an application. Its about the total person.

A female in my OCS class, had previously gone to OCS, and got dropped because she could not reach the top of the rope. This was with a different CO. Anyway, she practiced and worked at it, and made it to the top on the second class and did just fine. The techniques they teach you work...

Do you have an opinion on this or just flexing your quoting skills?

There is some MCMAP in the mornings to get your grey or green belt.

:D your missing one, wheres the third can of salt?

Neither of these seem remotely possible. 99% of rutans designs are not for combat or anything near. The majority have canards and twin tails. He began designing a long time ago and im sure combat aircraft were not what he was going for. The vari-ez is canard, and weighs less than most...

Because sometimes it absolutely positively has to be destroyed overnight!

D'oh I had to pay for drinks at shannon, then again I wasnt comming back from operations.

America.......Fu&k yea!

Paycheck: you get 2 paychecks per month.

Well I was a finance major, and you dont have to be to realise what a great thing the GI bill is, so I put in my 100 a month. A lot of things sap your paycheck in your first year, such as uniform bills, ouch!

It is not hard for 100$ to be alot of $ from 0-1 pay. How many PFC's have college loans? When you pay more for loans than the entire PFC's paycheck, 100$ can be alot.

Why are all Rutan's designs twin tail/cannard? I could see using a canard for manuverability, but why the twin tails? It looks kinda usless in that aires design (but Rutan is the man!)

Figmac

What kind of message does the Navy commercial send to thoes who have minivans, Navy is anti family? O and we arent allowed to do any of thoes things in the Marine comercials once you join up, its too dangerous (except the lava monsters, we still get to fight them).

I think the kicker can be done at any time.

Yes, Marines , you got a problem with Marines?

Hey Phrog, that looks like a cool avatar, but cant see it, can you post it full size?

frog, Are you done with IFS, any idea when you all are getting orders to come down here?

you can trip 1.5 miles

The only Sgt Major I have ever seen while I was in uniform gave a very crisp salute, while I was in a car nonetheless. I guess you dont get to such a position by beng nasty.

Quantico is the vortex of nature, it has the worst weather at the worst times. If you dont like the weather just wait. You do not have a smaller frame than me, and I made it through. You are packing too much. All you need is someting to wear on liberty. All the crap you bring will go in a...

No he and I did not fail, we did not apply for it. Im not complaining but its not our fault. We understood and made a decision. We opted not to take an advance, pure and simple. Would you like to build a Marine Corps where people are not responsible for their actions? If you went into a...

Excellent, thanks for the help

Thanks for the correction, now i know. Im not asking about my pay, I have listed my pay above, I know what my pay is, If it was in my records I would know about it. What I am asking is to confirm that DLA wouldnt be included in travel pay, and any does it typically take this long. I am not...

I have searched the forum and have not found an answer to my question, so here goes. I am trying to figure out if I have received DLA or not. At TBS I remember applying for DLA and advance for travel pay, and not applying for a pay advance. It seems like I received travel pay and a pay...

Are you all air? I heard 190 was gonna be predominantly air.

Most do not get their grey belts, I beleive one plt did but they were tested by a non cert instructor, at least thats the rumor I heard. Everyone gets their tan at TBS.

Damn this conversation is just wrong, keep your socks to yourself, a sock should be a personal matter

SNA and NFO can both get into the program, if you go or not changes week to week. Right now NFO is in high demand and they are pushing them through API asap, so right now at least the Marine nfo's are not going through. All SNA are currently going through the program. You do not get any...

Well what are you looking for, if you want spescific answers you need spescific questions. IFS is 25 hrs of flight training in a cesna type. You have to pass it within 60 days. It does not affect the api/primary scores. It is intended to give an idea of what your getting into so if you...

Read that thread concerning a late apply board for OCS 190

Linear Areospike Engine kicks ass, they kept getting so close with the single stage to orbit vehicle, and then political moods changed and then FINISHED space hardware gets sold for scrap when billions were sunk into it. Its a sin to cut up aircraft/spacecraft!

Chops in Destin is excellent, pricy, but the waiters actually know what they are doing, and the food is excellent.

There were no examples given on how the Marines were inadequate :icon_tong

That Sucks! Make sure your canister is screwed on tightly too!

Theres a plaqe sp? in the Naval aviation museum called the 1000 trap club (or somehting like that) theres only 100 or so Naval aviators on there, so 1645 is impressive.

I got 2 nights at 'the hospitality inn' last week, its on mobile ave. Its not great (depending on what your used to) its also not horrible. Given the situation I would reccomend it. No idea if it is booked now but i got a room last week. Good Luck

When did you go through TBS? SPC might also have a lot to do with it.

Which TBS did you go to? It was more like 12 months shoved into 6.

It depends on whether you are OCC or PLC, I was OCC and was covered by insurance after OCS and was also paid.

Why don't they make houses out of concrete like smart people do elsewhere in the country?
