It does seem like LHDs get the cool names now. Seriously...LHDs=Kearsarge, Essex, Wasp while CVNs=Stennis or Ford. What the hell. I guess whatever gets them built.

Pro Rec'd SNA Just got the call NRD Raleigh Submitted 23 SEP 7/8/7 58 3.74 Master's, Private Pilot, all that jazz... Congratulations everyone and good luck. Christmas came early this year, I'm going to go scream now.

Has anyone who submitted for October (not September) received a Pro Rec? Or were all October applicants moved to November?

I don't get why stuff like this is always put to this kind of music. Just watch any episode of "How its Made" and you hear the same thing. Pretty sweet with the sound down though.

Absolutely true, they'll just never interview all of the people who think jet noise is awesome. It doesn't stir enough controversy. I know some folks who would love to see that ever-elusive OLF in their backyard.

Reminds me of a time back in my highschool days when a F-15E from Seymour Johnson "accidentally" went supersonic over eastern NC. It was all over the local news for two days. I remember they interviewed several local idiots who were like "We thought it was the end of the world, " or " This is so...

If you have REAR vision, then you must have a leg up on all of us. Yes, it is definately normal for your vision to totally suck, near and far. I had double vision too for about a week. It will get worse before it gets better.

It is very possible to get together a package quicky. My OR called me on 11 SEP saying that I should really get everything together for the October board since I turn 27 on July 4. He sent me everything that morning. I got my stuff together, took the ASTB on the 22nd, and he submitted everthing...

Flygurl, Your low ASTB scores are probably why your OR doesn't want to submit your package. He may not want to waste your time. I sincerely doubt it has anything to do with gender. ORs are simply going to be more enthusiastic about strong applicants with better scores. Their job is to get...

Leg, you've got the spirit, man. I was so psyched just to get it done that I almost welcomed the pain. It sucks, but its so worth it. Be prepared to lose almost all your reading vision over the next week or two. I was literally like 2 inches from the screen still seeing blurry trying to finish...

Arco and Barron's are good for getting a feel for the format and the types of questions on the test. Just watch for those errors in barrons. If your looking to improve your aviation/nautical score, you need to study a Private pilot ground course or check out the "Handbook of aeronautical...

Nothing like that smell of cauterized cornea. My GF freaked at that. Saturday is gonna be rough, man. I walked out of that place on a Thursday all cocky, saying I could drive home. Yeah it gets alot worse before it gets better. But its still the best $4K ever spent. P.S. Dont whip your head...

I had countless dentists tell me and my parents that I needed braces when I was young-never did it. Result: I have perfectly straight teeth at 26 When I got older, I had countless dentists tell me that I had to have my wisdom teeth removed-never did it. Result: I have all four without...

http://www.navy-officer.com/astb.html This site has every PDF/Word File that I have seen for the ASTB. My OR also sent most of them to me after I had already found them with links thhrough AW. I would suggest using the Arco book and Barron's, but be forwarned, the Barron's book is riddled with...

If anyone here would like to offer some constructive criticism on my motivational essay, I would really appreciate it. I'm an English major, so it's pretty solid already. I'd just like some additional feedback. I will PM it to whoever responds. Thanks

A SNA can actually get a contact lens waiver?

Zman, The reason that eye surgeons prefer to perform PRK on those 21 and older is to be sure that the patient's eyes are not still changing. You would not want to have PRK done and then have the results complicated because your eyes changed over time. Your myopia is within the limits outlined...

Flo could actually look alright dressed up with better hair and makeup, I think the 35 is fine and will look pretty sexy once painted and in squadron livery. Take a look at this baby again to appreciate the 35 more, this is what could have been on the decks tomorrow... But I think the F-4 is...

Yeah the Hondajet has been out for a while, I first saw it on the cover of the 08 NC Aero Charts and Airport Directory. I think they have a manufacturing site in Greensboro.

With the Marines eventually transitioning all AV-8s, F-18A-Ds, and EA-6Bs to the F-35B, what will become of Marine aviation off the CVNs? Wouldn't this cause a gap in CVWs? Or will they keep a few18C squadrons to fill this out past 2019 as the ppt indicates? Shame to see the USMC NFO...

I consumed a few adult beverages after PRK while still on the steroid drops to no ill effects. That being said, most people seem to be prescribed different things. I don't know what your on, so you should probably ask the MD. 6 weeks post op: 20/15 both

Really, its ignominous? Apparently my warped sense of humor is not for everyone. I'd rather a few people find it hysterical and the rest just not get it than have everyone think its just moderately amusing. I actually think my avatar is more disturbing. This thred is way off topic now.

Haha. I knew that was comin. (Backstory) I took alot of Bio as an undergrad so I know my anatomy. That was actually an old name I used when playing late night Halo way back in the day with a bunch of inebriated buddies. There was always a competition to see who could create the most...

The generic question "what are my chances" is best asked long before submitting a package or taking the ASTB. If you are convinced that you want to be a naval aviator, look at what competitive profiles are and assess yourself from there. Then, if you are lacking in an area, you can do things to...

I just hum the ROCKY theme for the duration. Oh YEah.

Today marks one month post-op. After 3 weeks of extreme fluctuation and hardly being able to read except 4 inches from the screen, I am now seeing better than I ever did with glasses or contacts. I have no dryness, glaring, starbursts, halos, etc. Reading is back to normal finally. The only...

First of all, I would like to thank all of the members of this forum for sharing gouge that I have found extremely helpful. I had PRK a few weeks ago and thought I would offer yet another description of the process since I read so many accounts before the surgery, all of which were very...

I'm from the area and spend alot of time between New Bern and the coast. Surprisingly, its pretty hart to find good seafood in and around Morehead. Stay away from the Sanitary..its a tourist trap and the food sux. Heres my suggestions: New Bern: Captain Ratty's Beaufort: Finz Grill Morehead...
