Unless it's some fluke, you shouldn't expect to get paid early though.

They work now, the wing has had a few in the past month or so. They call them FIST's. Straight from the wing guy's mouth a week or so ago "We just completed our biggest FIST yet, we're all pretty excited about it!" :eek:

Yeah, to finish flight school and realize that everyone in the Navy flies circles, the only difference between platforms is at which altitude, COD's seem like a pretty sweet deal.

Sim instructor in San Diego said the 60F sims modeled a loss of tail rotor ep as if the entire tail actually fell off from transition section back. Not quite like real life, especially for autos.

I have yet to hear this story but I swear to God MB walks around with a perpetual black rain cloud over his head.

Well, it's a completely different helmet is why I asked. Either way, stranger stuff has happened. I had a custom made helmet in primary (yes, my head is that big) and they made it out of a helo shell. Lots of instructors were jealous of the dual visors.

Curious, did you have the -68 in helos, and if so why? I would've gone ballistic on the guys in the pr shop on that one. I can't think of a bigger line of crap, especially for a fleet returnee.

For all the Jax bubbas, CAPT Speicher will be flown in town tomorrow, at 1500. Line up along Yorktown to the chapel. Uniform of the day is all that's required, I know most of us at the squadron will be out there in our bags. He'll lay in rest at the chapel tomorrow afternoon/evening and then...

That may have been a tongue-in-cheek post, but do you realize you can just request off freq and that you'll monitor guard? Then you don't have to do that switcheroo dance.

Just keep donating till the contributor icon shows up. Then you'll know you donated enough.

Yes

If I remember correctly, AWOS can't report SKC, only CLR, with the difference being CLR means no clouds below 12k. Also, AWOS will only report visibility up to 6 miles.

Are you the guys who would also be keying the mike and screaming like a little girl on the first cat shot? Those always crack me up.

Much experience with that eh?

I hope this doesn't come across wrong in this thread, but could you imagine the shit-show/firestorm that would've occurred if that would've been the scenario? Sheesh.

Just as long as you have the dude cross his fingers when he says his vows/signs the paper. Otherwise, that'd just be cruel.

The way I read the Navy Times article is that these guys are gonna be direct CAS support with the weapons they have on board. The FAC part would still, in my mind, be covered by guys higher up, with a broader field of view/SA. If that is the case, I don't see how the specific flying would be...

Never been to either but you may never get another chance to get stationed overseas, I say pick Japan. On another note, you're probably the first person I've ever seen who refers to himself in the first and third person in the same sentence!

Are they gonna make two seat variants for training? I was under the impression that Hornet guys all train in the two seat version to start and then select single or dual seat near the end of the rag?

I thought the point of that tax credit was for either buying or building your first home?

Here's some things to think about. 1. You'll have to rent for anywhere from 3 to 7 months while the house is being built. You can get them built faster than that but that may drive the cost up. You have to find a place to live that will either only lease for a few months or let you out of...

Yeah, I was in the process of posting some to counter those fuck-tards and decided to punch myself in the face instead...it was over a lot faster and the pain wasn't quite as severe.

Right to Carry Reciprocity For all of you folks interested in politics, which I know on this board may only be one or two :icon_tong Could be pretty important for getting national recognition, similar to driver's licenses. The way I read it is that if a state issues a permit, they would have...

Not disagreeing with you, do you have a link or any other info for that? That would be interesting to learn more about.

Pussy. :D

I don't get the shot either. Last time I did, I got a mild flu as a side effect and it lead to pneumonia. So, I said f-that and refuse the shot/nasal spray each time.

Our intel O showed me his PQS. I just skimmed over it but it was pretty substantial. As for what it was for the sign-offs, I think it was a combo of the latest Afghanistanimation clips along with the capabilities and weapons of the Turtle. ;)

To add on, it's not illegal to collect stuff like that. There are a lot of guys who collect medals/uniforms/other militaria for the pure enjoyment. However, if those collectors buy the stuff and then wear it while saying they earned them is when it becomes illegal, like Ken said. Stolen...

Glad to hear that it does! I stand corrected!

I've got to say that this is one big reason that I am proud to say I'm from the south. I've lived in three of the four corners of the US so far and so far the south is the only place I have ever seen people stop for funeral processions, not to mention something of this nature.

Huh??? :confused:

Also, it does seem that the squadrons that spend most of their time around the boat tend to generally have callsigns, while those that don't, don't. YMMV, of course.

If he uses MB's lawyer, the ex-wife probably would.

While I can see the plusses of the argument from both sides, what I don't like is the image of the President seemingly agreeing with his entire side of the treaty. Sure, the President is probably going to have the arsenal reduced, but we need to be doing it on our terms, not theirs. In my...

Just saw this line too. I'll say that even without going shooting with you, I've shot with enough people in controlled conditions that I would have serious reservations about your or anyone's ability to shoot a target about 1 foot in diameter, within a short time of being awaken, behind a loved...

I had the same problem with the painted shells (the green shells). I buy only brass rounds and it doesn't stick. I wonder what it is that's making yours do that?

+1. Shotguns are the creme de la creme for home defense.

Because, oh yes, it's oh so great.

Oh, and with these kind of guys (ala Skeeterman), you know they have to come on here and read this stuff and can't post in reply. I'm sure that burns them up!

Haha, and he even goes as far as to post his pic on his website? Welcome to OCS asshole, enjoy your happy-time with the Marine DI's. Of course, he'd probably say that it's some random picture he found on the interwebs to mislead us, because he is super-mega credentialed and that makes him the man.

Yeah, I agree with trunk, double check on that. When I was enlisted a buddy of mine was on hold waiting to start nuke power school for almost a year because his clearance hadn't came through. He walked into stu-con one day and noticed two digits on his social security number were switched. They...

Sure, if you're in international waters on a Russian boat, what jurisdiction would there be? Now...praise the Lord and pass the ammunition :D

So are you saying that the studs will have the choice between the C or D?

The only problem I had with mine was the front site. It's this metal post and it was banged up some, a little crooked. I had to bend it back straight and tweak it, but once I did that it shoots like a champ.

I'll admit I haven't followed the healthcare issue too closely. From listening to some people talk who have though, this seems to be the biggest factor driving costs up. I suppose it's an issue of society becoming more litigious than before.

Love that round, you won't be disappointed with it.

Dunno about Corpus, but that's not the case in Jax. I ride my bike to work almost daily and all I wear is my flight suit, never wear a vest and never have had an issue.

I just had to do the rider course again and the instructors were saying that the official, just recently updated Navy instruction says that all you have to have on during the day is long sleeves. Reflective vests/jackets are only required at night or reduced visibility. Now, what happens when...

Which is what I have been saying all along. Shooting both barrels of a double barrel shotgun produces four times the amount of recoil. That's what the equations I posted prove, and that's what the calculator I posted also proved.
