It's kind of hard to do when "Brett327 is a spendid one to behold."

Snow, You brought up some good insight for the majority of people there. However, you cannot tell me that the 'thugs' causing the major crimes are only doing that out of necessity for survival. Think like a criminal...knowing that your 'paradise' of unlimited criminal acts will come...

You are labeling them (the same JO's you will be in the fleet with) dirtbags because they wore khakis, since their NSI's told them it would be fine?

It is okay to admit you do not know everything :D

Perhaps it is just at the discretion of the PNS at your unit, but it is still used for that. Edit: An exception to attending as a College Program student, would probably be whether or not they have completed the first two years of Naval Science classes.

Trying to follow what you are saying. NSI was there before STA-21. What is the 2-year thing?

NWC is not under OTC. It sounds like you may think that. Chaplain School, STA-21/BOOST, NSI, and OIS are under OTC. NAPS (as someone already mentioned) is there too, but they are their own entity as well.

If you look at the DOD's BRAC proposal, it has NASCC for realignment. The numbers for that were ~900 military personnel. The following defense site: http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Aug2005/20050825_2529.html has stated that the BRAC commission voted to close NASCC. Another site reports...

Thanks for the laugh!

http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/ranks/rates/rates2.html This link will be far better than my explanation. It even has pretty pictures. However, that Seaman Apprentice would actually be an Airman Apprentice.

I am sure if I did an extensive search on this site, I could find the information spread out among different threads. Maybe this will just be a way to combine it into one single thread. If any of you fleet guys have time, would you elaborate on qualifications that you should have prior to...

NightStalker, You have a better chance of getting accepted into BUD/S as enlisted. It is a small community, so the quota for JO's (junior officers) getting accepted is smaller=more competitive selection.

https://www.ifs.cnet.navy.mil/ifscode/default.cfm This site has some contact info. Hope that helps.

Maybe they just don't like you...I have 3 of them.

Yes, they still issue the cockpit poster. Only thing wrong with it, is that it does not show the most important feature...the air conditioning toggle switch.

Does anybody really think that the the economic impact of closing NAS Oceana would be comparable to that of NS Roosevelt Roads? It would have an economic impact, but it would not be the same as Puerto Rico felt. If Oceana went bye-bye, there would still be at least 4 installations in the...

It seems that everyone here was more prepared this time around for Dennis. Probably a large portion due to "lessons learned" from Ivan. Another huge factor was that Pcola didn't end up on the eastern edge of the eye this time. Haven't been down to the beaches yet, but I heard Navarre and...

Hurricane Dennis (already stronger than Ivan was at this current location) will, either directly or indirectly, affect hundreds of thousands of people. In the path of Dennis: homes will be destroyed, more people will become homeless, lives will be lost. There are still thousands of blue roofs...

Do not call UNF because that will be a waste of a phone call. The NROTC unit is located at Jacksonville University. Probably a good idea to call before noon as well, since it is summer break there. Plan to have some reliable transportation, should you plan to attend UNF and be involved...

jg5343, If your family is in Houston, why did you not go to Corpus Christi for Primary? I can only think of two reasons why the API staff would not accomodate the desires of a married SNA with children. You might be able to work the system and still receive BAH for Houston, but the BAH...

Well I haven't seen the other incident posted thus far. Is it a record post if it hasn't been posted?

A quick search, for "NOMI ASTB Navy", yielded this: http://www.nomi.med.navy.mil/astboar.htm Enjoy!

It is a shame that the Navy had to raise the NSS for FY04 SNAs (A relief for the FY05 guys though). Unfortunate because not everyone is good at taking exams, and many were borderline. Too bad Primary couldn't have been used to reach the attrition numbers. It sounds like you are an FY04 Stud...

Since this thread has turned into a discussion on French related things, here is a video that might be of interest: http://www.big-boys.com/articles/frenchtroops.html Edit: Pretend they are still French, and HAL never mentioned otherwise...it makes the clip all the more interesting. Big...

makana, This is the OCS forum. It sounds like IT1 was just noting that he had previously applied to the STA-21 program, and that he is applying to OCS this time around. IT1, Good luck with the selection process and don't sweat the OAR...you have plenty of other good stuff to counter that.

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water...

From the NROTC website: NROTC COLLEGE PROGRAM • Two- or Four-year programs • Applicants selected from students already attending or accepted by colleges with NROTC programs • Pays for uniforms and instructional fees for naval science courses • College Program students selected...

http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10428 Perhaps that is the gouge you are talking about. People are still getting PRK waivers, so that must be inaccurate info that it is no longer accepted. If it is no longer being accepted, guess mine was waived just in time.

The NROTC Unit there should have at least one LT from the aviation community. You should be able to get some info there as well as see what NROTC is like. One thing though, if you want to be a pilot, is that you would have to be commissioned. Enlisting and commissioning are different...

You would probably get the latest and greatest info by just walking to the SWOS building and ask the instructors or students. You know how close it is to you right...within spitting distance. The only gouge I could offer, being I'm not a SWO, is that my friend (YG 03) went to SWOS after...

Now that must be the shiznit.

That formula is very similar to calculating the chances of getting jets; the difference is that the multiplication before the first sigma, changes to division.

If you look even harder in the remote areas of Milton, you can find it a few cents cheaper per gallon.

Are you saying rights cannot be granted? Rights cannot be taken away? This topic just seems to be a matter of semantics to you. Not related to my previous sentence, but in the articles you provided earlier (Steve W. pointed out "normally" and "normal"), also note the words "shall" and...

Not sure about the date, but the change over to whites already happened.

As was mentioned earlier, try contacting a NROTC Unit. https://www.nrotc.navy.mil/ They will have a Naval Science Instructor (NSI) you can talk to and find out about the Navy side of things. For the Marine side, you can talk to the Marine Officer Instructor (MOI). They will probably be...

Yeah, Navy Times is 'quality' journalism. Yes, you are a Sailor regardless of rank.

Thanks for the response zab! That would be overkill to attempt a divisional PT schedule on top of all the requirements already expected of us.

Here is the link to the OPNAVINST that deals with topic of PT and nutrition: http://neds.daps.dla.mil/Directives/6110/one.pdf The good stuff begins on the bottom of page 3, #11. As others have said though, operational requirements play a big role in the physical training schedule. Out...

It wouldn't make sense that they would use the O-course as a method to attrite more SNAs. The reason for me saying that is because they recently removed the 6% from the PRT that was applied to the API NSS. The API NSS is strictly based on academics now. If the O-course was going to be used as...

A recent article that relates to this thread: http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2005/Mar/31/ln/ln03p.html

If you look at a map, it lists 87 and 89 as a state highway (divided). 90 is a U.S. highway. The whole system of naming is messed up anyways. You park on a driveway, and drive on a parkway?

Thanks for correcting my bad gouge! They were renovating some of the rooms at the Navy Lodge when I left. Guess that was a waste of money since they relocated.

If you cannot get a reservation at the CBQ, then go for the Navy Lodge as mentioned by S. Wilkins. It's about a mile from the base and near the intersection that has DeAngelos. Motel 6 will have the convenience of being across the street from the base, but it is, for some odd reason, built...

Are you a fan of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart? If I remember correctly, the author was on there recently promoting that book.

It's funny you mentioned that retired ADM from CNET. Well that Admiral had a dog, and one day he had Tango take his dog for a walk. It just happened that Tango had that new dog translator device. The Admiral told his dog about the a P-3 and a carrier he was aboard. Webmaster, Zab, and...
