I'm gonna have to say it is celestial navigation. If I'm wrong, I apologize for responding before ip568. :o

As far as the waiver process, mine was done in less than a week. They really went out of their way to get it done though, so I could get commissioned as scheduled. I was very lucky to get it done that fast. Physicx, Unless it has changed, you have to wait until your 6-month post-op.

USS Oriskany (CVA-34) NAS Pcola When you go look at it, there is a real appreciation for why our ships are being repainted.

Beefalo, According to the CREO message somebody had posted, ET is currently a better rate to advance in. If you are still entertaining the idea of another rate, I would be happy to answer any questions about IT. More so on the computer side of the IT rate though, and it would be a bit...

Real Men = RM. I was part of the RM "21" program. Half of my "A" school dealt with DP stuff, and we spent the last half on RM stuff. My orders to my first PermDutSta was to fill a DP billet. Eventually, they changed the rate to IT and I was an IT2 when discharged to attend NROTC...

As jboomer said, the typical career promotions will be the same. However, don't you have to be a certain paygrade to continue doing 25-30 years? If so, it might be a problem for someone with lots of enlisted time. fc2spyguy, Try doing a search on augmentation. helmet, Try doing a...

Little guidance This might be of some help: click here Not sure about tenure for O's that have prior E time. Good question!

It was a civilian doc out in Jax, FL. He's been doing PRK since it first came out, and he is a former Flight Surgeon.

If you compare that list of eligible schools to the NROTC list of universities, they are very similar. Coincidence?

Brain fart! For some reason, I was thinking this new proposal is to replace the utilities. Forgot about the new BDU concept. I agree with you fc2spyguy, the working blues and whites would be better to keep. I wonder if a new service uniform can ever be thought of that will please the...

According to the latest issue of Navy Times, there will be a "Phase Two" for Task Force Uniform that involves a survey. What will the survey be? Glad you asked. It will involve uniforms for E-7 and above. Yes, that means the choker whites. Uh oh, it may NEVER be choker whites anymore, but...

It seemed like a good response to me. Hard question to answer honestly w/o offending people.

Maybe I can throw in my $0.02 since I had prior time as an E. My stint stopped while the bellbottom dungarees were phased out, so I never wore those. Avoided wearing the utilities during my NROTC summer cruises. The dungarees were very comfortable and I was proud to wear them because I was...

Try the mechanic aboard NASP. If they do not do the service you require, they could probably recommend a good mechanic!

Pol Pot led the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia; wrong continent and wrong country. It is no secret that the media is quick to produce news of any wrongdoings by a service member. We our held to higher standards, thus we will be the first ones in the spotlight if we do something questionable. Choose...

Well to continue this appreciate for Better Off Dead, perhaps more of you would consider changing your avatar and signature. If so, I have a fan site I found that has good quotes and pics. Not trying to advertise the site, found it while surfing for a good deal to buy the DVD, but I will post...

As far as transitioning platforms in the Navy, would that be a career killer if you had planned on doing 20?

Nozeman, I had both the custom treatment and large pupils (8.5mm). My post-op experiences were less painful than the three other people I knew get the regular PRK surgery around the same timeframe as me. Not sure if I just have a better pain threshold or what. If you have more questions...

Cid, I am not saying that they would keep the eligibility requirements the same should they start up that program. Just posted the quote from BUPERS to support the original post by Road, which said a WO must be a CPO first, and you seemed to discount at first and pulled a Kerry on your...

From BUPERS website, such a wonderful source for info. I had to look it up because I was almost sure they had to be CPO and above. Anyways: ---- a. Be a Chief Petty Officer (E-7 through E-9), including E-6 personnel, when notification has been received by the commanding officer that the...

Nukewife, Overly-worried mother was just used to mess with ya. It probably has a negative connotation I never considered. Never again! :eek:

NukeWife, What I was said was meant in jest. It is no suprise that an internet forum is an imperfect medium for someone to know the precise tone of a post. Nevertheless, was not meant to upset you. I was a nursing major my first two years before I decided I was more passionate about...

Trvsmrtn, Check your PM!

'99/00 and then I was a May '04 grad with you at Jax :icon_smil

Her and crazy eyes living together? How sweet!

API is less than 140 days but you will be here longer than that :)

I guess, Nukewife, I must have bad ideas! Nonetheless, I disagree and believe that bad idea...is really a good idea. Having your family with you is important. Besides, why miss out on the first months of your child when you are not deployed? When you deploy with your future squadrons, you...

I have to disagree with this. It definitely does not apply to all ceremonial details. When I was prior E, I had the privilege of being on funeral detail for 3 years. It was an honor, and a rewarding collateral duty. Our flags would be folded either perfect or very close to perfect. I can...

PilotCPB, It depends on what part of Pcola you are in. Everything takes time to rebuild, but they are doing a good job. Maybe irrelevant, but just last week they completed the I-10 Eastbound Bridge over Escambia Bay. I think the latest figure was that Escambia County has 27,000+ houses...

They selected me for SNA, so they did one thing right :icon_smil

Icewoman, I'll be in Jax for the comm ceremony, so I can answer your questions about being stashed here. Jax is within the max allowed driving distance. Simply put, you do not have to put in leave to drive there, just sign the travel log.

I am a May '04 grad from the same unit as Icewoman. For some reason, I was one of about three other SNA's who were able to report to Pcola. The other SNA's, at least 4, got their orders extended in Jax until March/April timeframe. That SNFO she mentioned classes up very soon, and he reported...

Thank you for the reply! I tried the helmets on a few months ago and the two medium sizes were the best fit...wasn't able to see the roll when I looked up on either one of them. The first medium I tried, it had a few layers taken out from that removable portion. The fit was comfortable...

Perhaps I should post this in Primary, but since we get our helmets in API this should be fine. Is it better to wear a helmet that allows you to barely hear someone talking to you or to have one where you have to read lips? I imagine the latter one would decrease external noise while flying...

At the Pcola Air Show, the Navy jet stud alongside the T-45 had a light blue shirt under the flight suit...with a matching light blue squadron patch. What squadron is that? That color definitely stuck out with flight suit.

Excuse my laziness to look up the difference between SWO and SWO-EDO. Regular SWO's stand EDO when they get qualified on small boys. From my understanding, those that qualify are basically "Cheng-for-the-night" when on EDO watch in port. EOOW is for underway. I could be wrong but clearly...

Seriously, do not stress NU's admissions requirements. They have some sub par standards. I saw....tutored if you will....some real rocket scientists. The intelligence spectrum was very wide there. Just submit your application and do not worry about it. Good luck if you do choose to go...

Ah, the memories I attended NU my freshmen year as a NROTC student, but I was able to be a civilian instead of the Corps of Cadets. As beautiful of an area that surrounds Northfield, I transferred to a university with a warmer climate. Memories of NU.... Awesome hockey team! Dry campus so...

ET-Mike, I was also in the meeting with trvsmrtn. Our Skipper was reading from an email which stated that FY-05 OCS spots will be reduced, but no word on NROTC or USNA spots. The situation seemed to be caused by the expedited removal of S-3/F-14 squadrons. Waiting until March 05 to go to...
