Two seater was only a trainer in the US Navy. (Right A4s?)

There are a couple more flights that you guys don't have, that I know. The MCG says it's about a 12 month program. You guys just double-pump the crap out of yourselves down there to do it in 9 (well, not you anymore, since you're a Prowler guy now...) Krock also has better weather. Yep, I...

Interesting. See, Whiting Field may have 6000 foot runways, but they are effectively 3000 feet long due to split-field ops. At the end of that 3000 feet is usually an aircraft or a section getting ready to takeoff.

Can you stop in under 3000 without getting a hot brake problem? I only ask cause the main issue of no beta deals with Whiting field operations and its OLFs. Do you guys regularly stop in less than 3000? Less than 2000? I'm curious.

Google isn't a source, it's a search engine.

That's why man created Anti-Skid. The T-6A also has much more power than the T-34C.

Yeah actually, he is. 12 studs from VT-7 going to that boat!

To supplement this, some slats are pilot controlled. The T-45 slats come out when you put the flaps down. They come back up when you put the flaps up.

I've been busy dropping bombs, thank you very much.

"Say airspeed"... "250"..."We need you to speed up for traffic"..."Roger *going to mil* going to 250" ;)

Hey, Digital TS isn't supposed to be finished in 9 months. I should wing right about 12-13 months. The point being the 2 year wingers no longer exist. Krock guys are like 9 guys, they have no friggin clue cause they're all getting out-of-date gouge. Not their fault really, it's perpetuated by...

nugget81 != carrier pilot

No problem, I'm guilty of the same ;)

Moron Kingsville guys. Sorry to say Blacky, but that problem is long gone... or more like shifted to VT-9.

When you're that low, radar can't see you as far out and neither can the human eye. It lets you get closer to your intended target without them detecting you. If they can't see you, they can't shoot you.

Reading comprehension, theduke, reading comprehension. Go back and read it again.

Get below radar and lessen your visual range.

That's a pretty decent FAR violation.

That's quite a statement... Glasairs? Katanas? RVs? Beechcraft? Mooney? ;)

Not by a whole lot... and nowhere NEAR that fast... damn that was crazy.

Yeah. There is no parachute ride in the DJET.

The parachute ride is behind a Ford F-150.

WTF?

Ghost, you usually post stupid sh!t, but that was money. Hahaha, I was thinking the same exact thing.

PM sent. CONGRATS!

There is no dilbert dunker. You do the parachute drag and helo hoist again, with the jet flight gear (torso harness and SV-2, I don't think they give you a G-suit for that survival stuff, though you are issued one).

Precisely. There are things the Marines are very well suited for and are absolutely experts on. And there are things the Marines couldn't ever hope to do that the Army is built for.

I'm ok with closing Rosie Roads as a message for the Puerto Ricans. Fvck em. Though it was still a choice location, that's true...

They never should have closed that base. Such a choice location. :)

Hey, you just never know with you Academy kids. ;)

Isn't that Hawkeye 2000? I thought I've seen pictures of E-2C with glass cockpits. The "navy vision" has an E-2D in it.

Catholic school girls = slvts. Holy Cross was FULL of them. :)

Guess that may depend what you're flying. We have the abeam position which is abeam your intended point of landing, and the 180 is abeam the start.

Uh no.

Yay Sudafed. If you buy a certain amount here they record the purchase. Big meth issues in Mississippi.

I wasn't trying to be rude at all. Hence my question. Thanks for the answer.

One could answer that with the GAU-8 Avenger.

NAS Oceana and NAS Lemoore. They hold all of the Navy's Hornets and Super Hornets (aside from a few stragglers and reserve squadrons).

Airplanes have guns. The military is, to its general core, about killing people with guns (and explosives of course). So, it makes sense to me. :D

Now that's a man after my own heart. +1

Yep, every two terms (WPI is a 4-term school, very odd, and makes for a LIGHTNING fast learning pace) you'd get a check cut for the equivalence of your room and board if you were living off-campus. AWESOME deal if you score a good apartment and have a roommate(s). I banked bigtime. Yup, WPI...

*cough* this is the NROTC forum *cough* :D

I second this statement. He'll be more than welcome.

My point was I wasn't flying because we don't drop bombs in that crap... And you can take your VFR aircraft into near IMC if you want, I'll stay away. :)

Yes, I got what you meant. And I'm not trying to play "fvck with the Marine" by saying all Marines are part of the Navy. I just didn't want you to confuse an obvious newcomer with the terminology. They are one in the same... and they are different. Maybe I was too snide, sorry.

Have you gone through API? You'll quickly see commissioning source has NO BEARING on who is afraid of the water and who sucks at swimming. Trust me.

Check yourself. NAVAL = Navy AND Marine Corps. Did they not teach you that? ALL Marine Aviators are NAVAL Aviators. The NAVAL SERVICES are the Navy and the Marine Corps. Yes it is common to say Naval Officer for Navy and Marine Officer for Marine. But they are actually one in the same.

What? That makes no sense, AFJROTC is in High School. Or were you in AFJROTC and therefore eligible?

Well, there is no more intermediate for jets... it's just TS....so.... Your first TS cross country can occur in the RI stage
