Thanks for keeping me hip. Guess I'm just conservative this way.

No, it's just illegal. I'm not sure a forum centered around women and men in positions of public trust is the best place to discuss such matters.

Damn! I was gonna do that! Just to fill out my certs... MEI, airplane instrument, etc... damn.

Duh, and are you messing w/ us? There are entire threads on this forum about the age limits. Search function...

It's fun to win arguments and be the most knowledgeable person on the forum about issue X. But maybe we ought to be grown-ups and not do that this time.

Ok, someone educate me how we're funding the Iranians. If you find yourself re-enacting one of Glenn Beck's chalkboard sessions, just let me get popcorn first.

How are we funding the Houthis?

So many NAMs coming to that boat... PO2 Schmuckatelli diligently and correctly performed the procedure we had drilled 50 times in the past 10 months, and in so doing reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest standards of the Naval Service. Edit: no more OSs!

Btw, NAVFIT 98A is eligible to vote this year!

I see what you did there.

Wow, USNI news article comments are the Naval version of other news sites' comments section. For some reason, I expected something more measured.

I heard all the current HSL skippers are doing that now.

True to form, the Hinges decide to "come to the rescue" and insert a grammatical error in JOPA's previously error-free work. The JOs in JOPA aren't the owners, they're the beneficiaries of the association's protection.

Need to rename the title. It's "Service Assignment," shipmate. As the Service Assignment officer during my NROTC tour, I found that I can actually guarantee a few things. I'll guarantee you that you'll know your designator prior to December. Unless you are NPQ'd or Disenrolled, you'll get a...

Uggggh! When will you learn? Military.com (& its cousins/children/+USA Today) are having a whine party about something they've asked for actually happening. Your logic is as cool as a noise complaint.

How many of those shirts do you have?

If you wore them anywhere off-base you'd probably be suspected as one of those stolen valor turds.

Holy detailed questions Batman! Am I the only one getting paranoid here?

Again - please do not approach the troll enclosure or attempt to feed the trolls. I will change the subject now back to little boats in a small body of water. Thank you to http://icanhas.cheezburger.com/

He means four years before we started making those moves in WestPac.

I know this is an internet forum and not your AP English exam, but do not ignore grammar and spelling as you investigate this route (or ever, really). You never know when something you write, type, or say might reach the eyes or ears of someone who has an influence on what routes you're able to...

Antonio - think about the recruiter's perspective, and then go talk to an OFFICER recruiter. The recruiter has a quota to meet, and you can help him do that. By enlisting. If you can do ROTC now, do it now. If you're admitted to the program, you (barring any acts of stupidity or poor...

Holy smokes, kid. Maybe it's an issue, maybe it isnt! Are you a reading glasses manufacturer trying to market to the aviation community? Admirals get to fly because they either own the planes or they own the runway or ship the planes land on. Also because they write your boss a nice letter...

If you're a PC guy (not politically correct, that's a different thread) you might want to check out the Lenovo X1 Yoga - does a kind-of tablet mode by flipping the screen backwards, and Thinkpads are very durable. Also it's lighter than a macbook, and heavier than some tablets.

Not an expert either, but it seems to be an expert consensus.

... covered by what is most likely not NAVAIR-approved scotch tape.

Certainly, although Trump led in many polls prior to his victories. So do we share the conclusion that Trump supported an action by a foreign government that is contrary to what is in the Unites States' best interests? If so, and regardless of why he did it (shared ideology), what does that...

It also seems pretty clear that Brexit is bad for the US, no? If that's the case, then why is Trump for it? Or, in other words, why is he in favor of something that doesn't favor the US? It's better if he's wrong, thinking it's actually good for the US. If it's because he's simply...

Our representative bodies vote against things that have majorities in national polls all the time. Seems to work out ok for them. Do the Brits even gerrymander?

You shoes and your shoe words... oh wait.

The poll revealed fishing's approval rating was up to 53% from last week's 49%, breaking 50% for the first time since last season's record low cod haul.

Oy.

If you need a clearance, you have to renounce the other citizenships. Even if it's w/ our "besties" like UK, Canada, Australia, etc. The person who processes your clearance will know what to do. Ref here: https://doni.daps.dla.mil/secnav%20manuals1/5510.30.pdf but I can't pull up chapter...

Too soon...

If you don't like Gs, you won't like primary. If you don't like primary, you won't do well. If you don't do well, the pilot-y routes to becoming an astronaut (test pilot school, where even the helo bubbas have to pull Gs every once in a while) won't be up your alley either. A consideration to...

I just moved to the same area, and while the 129th may not the right move for me & Mrs Beans right now, it might be in the future, so I'll be watching. Good luck!

This is great, especially if you're not one of the landlords who nitpick SNAs for every little thing on move-out (by, say, mistaking mold caused from your poorly-built roof for dirt on the walls - looking at you PCS Real Estate), but how is it "Gouge?"

I thought it was going to go total yard-sale about 6 times. Pretty solid flapping visible at 4:30, too... nifty.

Well, the current setup for T700s, with an HMU and whatever computer you've strapped on it, is like taking a modern automobile engine control (circa 90's is what I mean by modern) and using it to control a carburetor. So you can optimize the carburetor's performance, but it's still a carb, and...

ON IT. Yes. Take out HMU, put HMU inputs and outputs in new, more better DECU. Now DECU is FADEC. We're probably using DECUs because they allow us to use the T700s with their carburetor-era HMUs without changing too much about the engines.

No. Simple matter of how much air you can get through the hole in the front of the engine. Speed, size, density are the factors. As you go up (or get hotter, or get less dense), the less O2 you can get in that hole. The less O2 you suck in, the less fuel you add to it (lest you "roll coal"...

The past 35+ years have seen a number of improvements in mechanical parts of gas turbine engines, while we've kept on using the (more or less) same T700. It's rather silly that we've sat that out, honestly. 3D blade designs (rather than a 2D design with a twist or other effect), multi-spools...

I used to join a group at the Milton end of the Blackwater Trail on Saturday mornings. Some would continue on for a >50mi trip. They weren't friendly, though. For example, they'd ditch you if you slowed down to make your turns safely (wasn't exactly a swept race course), but it's probably...

So you're saying the comments thread on a local news site is where you find confidence in the wisdom of the larger population?

Hydrate, rest, don't read, & watch TV from across the room in the dark for like 3 days. Get tested by a civilian, take your time, and see how you score. I bet you'll do better (unless that's the current routine).

So did the attachment fail?

Well, after Snowden, USIS got fired... anyone who's had an investigation in the past 18 months has probably noticed.

It's a total non-sequitur to somehow blame this issue on democrats. Because... I really have no idea - it makes no sense whatsoever.

Nail down your Aviation LT for an AMA/gouge session after classes are up and before you detach. I did that 3yrs w/ my 1390s. -Former Aviation LT (as of Friday!)

Shhh!
