I think I've figured it out! Since we're such a nation at war we should be 100% at sea or in the sandbox, no other place, so who cares if they come out redheaded and socially retarded?:rolleyes:

I'm with Scoob on this one. People get their selection, as snocone said, based almost entirely on timing. Your timing worked out fine for you, but it's also possible if you'd have selected the week before or after you could've gotten something not even on your list. Unless you had an 80 when you...

Maybe you should just stick with hockey.....?

We may be thinking of the same guy, maybe not, but my company officer lived on a boat in Edgewater my firstie year. He had all of his uniform crap in the office, plus his fiance seemed to dig the boat.

I had an email forwarded to me from a guy who's parents are still in the loop of the parents club. I have to say I wonder if he hadn't gotten pressure from above to cut back for $$$ reasons. I knew some of the ECA's and clubs had pretty big budgets. Either way, it's still pretty absurd in my...

I don't entirely know about eca's, but a good friend of mine said that club sports are getting hammered. There are two classifications, A and B. Apparently A is almost like being varsity, B is a normal club during season but has to fight for any intramural exemptions. At least that's the rumor.

Having been there, Papa Nuke doesn't mess around. I'm honestly surprised they even had a camera down there, much less filming. That said, the average Joe can go to the local library to get the info and build his own reactor just like the Navy's. It's not the designs that makes it classified...

I'm just racking my brain trying to think which instructor would've been tied up in the DC Madam hooker ring. As far as I can remember, there aren't any there worth the $$ to get laid. No clue about BSA's, but something tells me they are gonna get hit hard in funding.

It's not that new, just sounds like you weren't down with the cool kids while you were there :icon_tong;)

Just not this Patches...

Not cracking on your wife, but if she's quit "several" times using Chantrix, does it really work? (may have just misread your post)

That explains a lot. :icon_tong

Probably three-four months, looks like I'll be finishing up here December-ish or so.

Bingo.

Just saw this article. Apparently a Huey went down in Arizona, one survivor, four dead. Thoughts go out to the families.

Yeah, and that was my exact thought too. When I was there the administration harped on how we were all getting a technical background through calc, physics, etc. Our major was just on top of what we did as a whole, be it English, Mech E, or whatever.

Interesting article off of Foxnews about college rankings. Apparently USNA is considered a liberal arts school? I never would've thought that, but hey, at least we're in the top 20 and above West Point and the Zoomies.

Please. The west coast has some good stuff but tops Cedar Point? Try again. There's reasons why it's rated the top park with the top coasters.

So in that picture it has his head just above the 48 inch line. Must have had a big wang because I've heard chicks aren't down with the midgets, regardless of the pay check.

Yup, if you can ever get up to Cedar Point, you won't regret the experience. Consistently rated one of, if not the top, parks in the world. Loved it.

If crazy Texan people would start pooping in their toilets instead of outside, this wouldn't be a problem.

You narrowed down the hardest part. Usually with pistols I say get what feels the best in your hand. For me, H&K have always fit and balanced well in my hand. Sig's are good too, but to me just didn't fit as well. I think you might save some $$ if you went with Sig, but I haven't priced...

The best thing (if there is a best) is that the bereavement fares are open ended. I went on E-leave, ended up staying home a few days longer and all I had to do was call the airline and tell them my plans, and it was changed with no charge, etc.

Don't worry about marrying him, just get him to buy you a house. :eek:

Yup, Barin is just south of Summerdale which is closed and only for HAPL's and LAPL's, no touchdown. I heard a rumor that Summerdale is going to be reopened and the runways extended when the T-6 comes to Whiting.

I think I'll be here awhile watching for trolls... :D

Nah, I didn't mean the Osprey going away as much as I was just surprised that we already have 52 Ospreys on the flight line. I figured maybe 2 dozen at most.

If you have the actual signed and/or stamped papers saying you were authorized the PCS move, keep fighting it. Since you have the orders plus the authorization, you have a foot to stand on. If it had just been someone in an office somewhere saying "yeah, you were authorized a PCS" it's almost...

Wow, I didn't realize the Corps already had 52 tilt-rotors, especially considering they've been asking some current Osprey studs to consider switching out of that pipeline to pure helos.

Dunno about Superman, but did in Office Space.

I heard flight slots are harder to get out there as compared to USNA since almost everyone wants to fly. That's part of the reason I chose USNA over USAFA, oh, and the whole ascot thing. :icon_tong

I dunno, I tried to figure that out myself but it's hidden in the accounting data. I wasn't a true yeoman, just worked in their office before I went to USNA so I know the why, just not the how. I've still yet to get a straight answer on the who owns you question. I guess the SNA's are just in a...

To build on that, for my PCS's, I've always been able to call the movers once I'd unpacked and they'd come back and pick up the boxes and take them away. It saves their company money as they can reuse some boxes, plus it saves their movers time unpacking. That, and after a day of unloading the...

Fvck, just spilled my drink from laughing....:eek::icon_tong

Ok, so here's how it supposed to work. If you're coming from initial accession (i.e., USNA, ROTC, etc), and you are not married, then you'll be TAD to API. As such, you'll get the 600 lb allowance. Once you're finished with API you'll be sent PCS to wherever you go from there from either your...

Found this interesting story about "Bloody Barin". Click back a page and the site has a lot of cool stories like that. http://mofak.com/Student_Pilot_Carrier_Qualification.htm

Yeah, we were all told the same thing, and then they peppered us out along the classes. There were about 10 of us, got there in June, and the first classed up in July, the latest in October.

Riiight, don't count on that either. I came from grad school last year, got down to API in June, didn't class up for API till end of September.

Cell phones and police academy....why am I getting images of this guy?

I'm not too savvy on Marine PLC but I think the first qualification is S.E.A.R.C.H.

"Complete, but last flown 22 years ago." Ahh, but the time to check and rebuild anything in that motor. Unless it was stored properly, 22 years of sitting would need a complete tear down. Tell you what scoob, with your insurance check coming in, you put the down payment on the plane and I'll...

Prior to enlisting I was a carpenter (framed houses).

^^^^ Anywhere from a month to 10 weeks, depending on season (usually longer in the summer/fall timeframe). http://pptas.ahf.nmci.navy.mil/pptcs/

Yes, if she's not active military.

That depends week to week. I had two weeks off between primary and advanced helos. Some guys had to start a day pr two after check in.

Heck yeah. I'll get right on that.

Good. Lord. Use. Punctuation.

Well, while it's probably not 1:1, I have quite a few friends who wanted NFO instead of Pilot. They just didn't want to worry about flying.

I've gotta say I've been pleased with USAA. For example, I had a $3500 triathlon bike destroyed after it fell off of a car, got the check for full value a week later. That said, just like everyone else, keep pushing it. USAA usually stores all of your documents (savings, checking, etc) under...

I'm feeling nice.....so.....all it usually takes is swearing in front of an officer or someone similar that you denounce your citizenship to Australia. I had to do it when I enlisted.
