Dude, money reference.

Funny you mention that. There is now a push for the Navy guys here to complete ASAP... and the Marines are low low priority now. Go figure.

By we, I meant VT-7. Yeah, I was assigned to VT-7, then VT-9, then back to VT-7 by the time I actually started. Last I heard, there is no pool, maybe 2 weeks at most, which is awesome. I waited 6 months, yes 6 months, to start.

"1776" by David M. McCullough - Great book about the first year of the American Revolution and how we almost came apart. Center focus is General Washington.

You should, yeah.

I don't think we get a solo certificate until we wing. I know I haven't received one and I've solo'd quite a few times by now.

If you end up in VT-7, the United States Navy patch on the flight suit is a no-no, CO Hates it. Buy the "We Train Hookers" patch ASAP. I think in VT-9 you can't wear that one until you solo. Is that still the case nittany?

This is a paste from an email I wrote, so please bear with me if anything is repeated: "Fly Boys" by James Bradley - True account about Naval Aviators who are shotdown and captured by the Japanese on the island of Chichi Jima during WWII. Not a fun book to read, pretty brutal. Very educational...

That 300 fps may not seem like a big deal, but with M855 ammo, it IS. Out of the 14.5" M-4 barrel, that M855 ammo loses its fragmentation ability very quickly. Out of a 10.5" barrel, it's pitiful. All you ever wanted to know about 5.56x45mm and .223 Remington (yes, they are different)...

Sleep on a cot or sleeping bag ... or sleep in a rack.... rack > sleeping bag

Some friends of mine follow the shoe rule in their house. I"m always paranoid when I'm drinking there :)

Did it grow back normally or all wild? That's awesome.

I have friends that have no hair and barely have to shave. I make fun of them for not going through puberty yet.

Those that are anti-gun refuse to accept that it is a person doing the action. The gun is a mere tool. Most gun laws aren't enforced, shit, most prison terms for any crime are barely enforced. Criminals in England are a protected species. It seems liek we're going that way here sometimes.

I honestly can't remember if it was his own private weapon, or stolen from police inventory. Either way being, it's "registered".

Try 500 FPM hitting the ground in a spin with a wing low, cartwheeling you to beyond. You won't survive that.

Points.

Oh yeah, I hate Comcast with a passion.

Not entirely true. There has been at least one case of a registered NFA firearm being used in a murder. A police officer used a NFA firearm to murder someone. Go figure, right? I think he was deemed mentally unstable as well (beyond the normal unstableness required to murder someone).

Nobody needs nuclear arms. You can't hug anyone with nuclear arms.

I'm posting this here, vice the private forum as many of you may not be part of the private forum. Comcast Cable in Meridian now has HDTV available. It's only a few channels as of right now, but it has been activated. I just called them today to turn the signal on for me (already had the...

That's because he's a crook and his city has too much influence over the laws of that state. Chicago gun laws are teh ghey.

T-45 will produce those numbers. Eek! (Yes, I know, not a GA aircraft)

Most bullets will penetrate a car door. It's getting through the reinforcing members that's the hard part. A car door is nothing more than sheet metal. Car doors are NOT cover, they are concealment. As far as surviving being shot by certain cartridges, show me your reference. I also want to...

Stay safe, fly safe, and fair winds and following seas.

Dude nice. I want a 1851 Navy .36. I was looking at them on Cabelas and MidwayUSA. The working replicas are fairly cheap and look fun. Squeeze and I were drooling over them some months ago.

TurnandBurn55 is a Super Hornet NFO in the RAG right now.

Neat picture

Exactly. 100%

People treat it as a toy, because it's so "underpowered". No respect. That and it was a favorite for crime for a while due to low prices and easily deformed bullets.

"Knock down power" is a farse perpetuated by bad gun magazines. A full power 10mm is quite a cartridge, but good luck finding ammo for cheap. If you can't practice with it, you can't hit something with it, and if you can't hit something with it, it's useless. The fact of the matter is...

I never had to do it for my flight physicals.

F-22 with external stores = loss of stealth ability. There are configurations for it though.

I have a SIG 9mm and a Springfield-Armory 1911. I can't comment to the 357sig cartridge. I have a .357 Magnum, which the 357sig tries to duplicate in an automatic cartridge. As far as what I've read and been told, the 357sig is excellent at barrier penetration and does fairly well at mimicking...

It's not rice if it's functional :icon_tong

Nice rifle, what kind of stock?

That's what I was talking about.

They're probably using good old CLP. You can buy it at your local Walmart or anywhere hunting/gun supplies are sold. Look for a black bottle, it'll say Breakfree CLP. CLP = cleaning / lubricating / preservating or something or other. I use it myself.

Congrats everyone. I remember that feeling 3 years ago... talk about the best Christmas present ever.

No no, they're impressed with the pilot and the image, not the aviation geek.

[George Carlin] Ever notice how all your shit is stuff, and other people's stuff is shit? You go into someone else's house and think "Look at all this shit, where do I put all my stuff!?" [/George Carlin]

Not necessarily. Again, it depends on your pipeline and training delays. I know plenty that got wings in less than 2 years.

I wasn't taking into consideration "pools", as they are not training time. Just using the raw "expected" numbers (which we know never happen). That said, I don't know the E2/C2 numbers, what are they?

Didn't I say something about that a few months ago? :p

He He you said interrobang

The current NACES seat in the T-45 uses a gas charge to catapult you out of the aircraft and then the rocket fires. Pretty neat system. Supposed to be gentler on the body without sacrificing survivability. Or so we were told.

No. We (might) get the F-35.

I thought his B/N was killed in the ejection.
