just wanted to inform everyone. all rooms have been rented. thanks!

Back gate housing sucks as far as cell phone reception. My 3 cents.

Where do u go if u select EP-3s (this is after primary, right?)? Randolph for advanced, then jax for the rag? Is it true you wing in the rag?

Bubba-When did u report and how long have u been enduring the "Big Wait?" I reported in Sept '05 (3 months, 3wks and counting....)

im PMed you also.

thanks guys. greatly appreciated gouge.

I was curious.... If i just finished IFS yesterday, any predictions on when i might class up for API (Navy SNFO)? C'mon.....GIVE IT TO ME! hahaha. Its bc i wanna plan accordingly should i decide to take leave sometime within the next 2-3 months. Thanks.

i agree. Ive had good experiences with hotwire. Especially since they knock off 30-40 bucks if you let them select the approximate time. You just have to select the time of day (i.e. morning, afternoon, evening).

youre kidding right? 4 month wait for snfos before starting primary?? good gawd. can anyone else back this up?

1. What platforms are currently available for us SNFOs when it comes time to select? 2. I've heard of some navy studs getting assignments to San Diego after the rag (jets-MCAS Miramar). Is this on a case-by-case basis? Or am i just hearing things? 3. During BOLTC, they told us that ppl...

I really sucked on the treading w/full flight gear during the flight physical. Since there isnt really any way to practice it before api, any words of wisdom from those who have gone through it? I can tread no prob in just my bathing suit. But as soon as i wear the sv2, i sink :(

I remember the flight physical b4 my 1st class cruise. They made us blow and inflate our flotation devices attached to the sv-2. Do we do the same thing in api?

He applied in Oct also. The early bird gets the worm :) USNCav, I got a buddy who grad UVA nrotc. Good guy. Oh btw, I hate uva for beating minnesota in the music city bowl :( Later on!

My brother just found out he was awarded the 4-year NROTC scholarship (he practically screamed in my ear on the phone). Just letting the guys who applied for FY06 to keep on checking your status. Keep up the good work and dont give up :) -ENS Fezz

Hey everyone! My brother just called me to tell me he's been selected for the 2006 4-Year NROTC Scholarship! He'll be taking it to the Univ. of FL. Anyways, good luck for those of you still waitin to hear. Hard work pays off :)

im curious what "casual duty" is? or is that an air force thing? I'm assuming class start date = API class up date. The day you report is usually indicated on your orders (separate from "class start date"). Again, it could be different for af vs. navy. From what my af buds have told me, IFT...

I have a room available 10 min from the front gate of NASP. $380/month (includes rent, utils, cable/internet). Clean house, new subdivision, near fast food, super walmart. Pretty much everything you need. Ive had 4 ppl call about this room over xmas break but none have gotten back. Send me a PM...

anyone know what the projected 2006 bah is for a O-1 living in pcola?

Wait, who exactly is eligible for dla? what if youre an snfo reporting to nasc (non-prior)? nasc is our ultimate duty station but ive never known if we get dla or if thats something for the prior enlisted O-1s. Its like DKs dont like talking to me whenever i go to corry psd cuz i ask too many...

He didnt happen to be a LT filipino-helo bubba? If so, that guy was cool as sh!t. He totally got me excited about naval aviation. If it wasnt for his charisma, id probably still be at mesa college and working at edwards cinemas as a projectionist :eek:

Khakis in the auditorium today? Why are we having it at 1530? I dunno. dumb question i know.

We had to take calc-based physics and engineering calc. And this was everyone regardless of your major. Lets just say i was a math major going in, and a sociology grad coming out :) But i did feel a hellava lot smarter knowing i could hang with the engineering majors.

The interview is a cake walk. The nrotc scholarship LT went from asking why i shouldnt do the navy and be an officer to sea stories in perth australia and southeast asia. I sent my package around Nov and found out feb. I checked that damn website like every friggen day. My brother also just...

Just found out today. There was a crash at ifs mobile. I cant go into detail but word on the street is it'll come up during the safety standdown this Thursday. Oh, and a "ghost solo" just means your cfi will ride with you but wont talk.

Hey Reaper. If u know any Marines who jsut reported to NASP and need a place to live, send'em over my way. I got 3 rooms with their names on it :)

Thanks Katie! Yea, i checked it out and coincidentedly my roommate already put a post on the site. I also just put an ad in the gosport and housing office. Im crossing my fingers :)

THanks KBay.

Does no one need a place to live?! AHHHH! Can anyone please give me some advice on posting a rental ad or finding roommates in the Pensacola area? Any advice would be great. Seriously. Any.

Hey guys. I checked into NASC back in Sept and did all the paperwork and filed my travel claim. Im SNFO so PNS is my PDS. Does it take this long to get reimbursed for my travel claim? Its been almost 4 months so i wasnt sure if this is normal. Any help?

Hey Everyone! 3 of my roommates are heading out to Corpus at the end of the week and their rooms are available IMMEDIATELY! -Great Location (15 mins from NAS front gate) -CHEAP!!! ($300 rent + $50-60 for water/gas/electric/cable tv/internet) -Great House (new subdivision, 2 car garage...

University of Saint Thomas (crosstown to the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities). I had tons of friends at St Thomas who reeped the benefits of full scholarship and free room and board + stipend. And plus, who wouldnt want to take classes with hot catholic college girls? Yes please!

And How :D

Agreed. When I was in Japan for my 2/C middy cruise, we met an O-5 SWO/NFO wearing both pins. Our eyes nearly popped out.

haha. He said "Whistle Dixie." damn..........

good stuff guys. thanks for the advice on transporting phrog. my dad recommended dry ice. i dunno about this? i like the idea of freezing before transporting.

Anyone know where to buy the freshest fish and the best shrimp in Pensacola? I'm heading to Texas for xmas and was requested by my parental units to bring buttloads of jumbo shrimp and fish since the prices are hiked up in their area. Any help would be grateful. Thanks :D

roger that. thats the rumor ive heard. just wanted to see what others have heard before i look like moron asking someone in the know.

Is it possible to get prk while in A-pool? Recommended? Thoughts? Why/why not? Grazie.

Agreed. I did 2 yrs community college while holding 3 jobs in CA and managed to earn an appointment and an nrotc scholarship. Anything is possible my man. Question is: How bad do you want it? :D

I thought only O-3 and above require a sword?

I was there last Thurs and heard the annoucement. I would have crapped a brick if that happened to me. But then again, i think my 20/500 vision might have caught someones attention :)

Football, Baseball, Volleyball (Capt) in HS. Intramural vball and bball in college.

schunugg, thank you for making my day :D

Also known as the "McDonald's" ribbon :D

May the drinking begin! Congrats bro.

Youre kidding, right? P-3 guys and jet dudes fighting? Over whos better? Wow....i learn something new everyday on AW. Maybe u could elaborate more on this Brett. Is this common? That is, the rivalry actually morphing into a fist fight?

Yea...its the lil things that make your day. Especially when the LT rips some Ensign a new one. Cheers!

Yea, when LT H dropped that news this morning, I smiled. Also, i thought he was gonna tear someone a new a-hole when he called off that name but a dude answered when it was suppose to be a girl. Damn. Welcome to the "Big Wait" shipmate :D
