"Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?" Haha..such a great movie.

Hello???? Air Force??? They were all in their rooms studying and downloading porn. I mean...where else would they be? :) DanMav, I totally remember that prank. When I was applying to West Point (6 yrs ago) the application packet had a picture of that prank. And yes...it was during some...

That is friggen awesome! For a second, I thought Navy Mids actually transported a vintage Blue Angel F-4. But still, kudos to those mids.

I have been convinced by these 2 paragraphs alone. Haha! Right you are....so very right you are. Steve, I was planning on Research Methods for SI. But it looks like ill be putting this off until after flight school. Thanks for the advice everyone. Ill pickup on this grad stuff after...

Hey guys, I just finished registering with American Military University so I can begin my graduate studies in Strategic Intelligence. Before I go to the Navy College Office and turn in my TA Form, what are your thoughts about this? ME: -Reported 1 SEP -SNFO -No IFS According to the...

According to Fox News, the dude stole Filipino-related documents, some which were classified "Secret." I hope this doesnt lead to a racial tension with filipinos or anything. But I as an American-Filipino feel shameful for this guy, especially if he's representing OUR country (OUR country =...

Correct. And if you dont already know, Marine pilots are designated Naval Aviators (Thats what my MOI, a cobra pilot, told me). Theres another wrinkle for your brain :) No prob. Good luck dude!

Question #1: Yes. It should be on your record. If its not, just ask your doctor and s/he will tell you. Question #2: Yes. But make sure you do PRK ahead of time because it may take some time to have your waiver approved after the procedure is performed. You should have it performed before you...

Thank you Captain Obvious :D The worse you can have uncorrected is 20/40, each eye. So if this is what you have, dont worry about it then. When you take your flight physical before you service select, they will determine this for you. Read up...

According to NOMI, you are exempt from SNA because you have one eye worse than 20/40. But you definitely qualify for SNFO (if it makes u feel better, I have 20/500). Check it out yourself. http://www.nomi.med.navy.mil/Nami/WaiverGuideTopics/exams.htm#sna DVA 20/40 (minus zero) on Goodlite...

What are your eyes uncorrected? 20/40 is the worse you can have, and needs to be corrected to 20/20. I'm not familiar with prescriptions other than I have -6.00 (yup...20/500 over here). If your vision is 20/40 uncorrected, youre fine. If not, I'd think about PRK or settling with SNFO...

I love the "Canada....Fvckin 'eh!" t-shirt. Friggen hilarious. I think i'm gonna buy it. Yea....i think i am.

I often wondered about this too. Why is it the U.S. has military bases all over the world, yet those same countries dont have bases in the U.S.? Does it have something to do with us winning WWI and II, Korea, etc. and fulfilling the "We helped liberate your country so now you owe us" attitude?

I sure hope not. Hey, I keep hearing stories about Australian women lovin' us "American" military boys. Is this true? Especially in the area of Perth.

Now thats a "College" thinkin' man. haha!

Good lordy mang. Keg on the beach? Its like we never left college :)

Always happy to help out a fellow San Dog. Click on Forum Click on the Topic which fits what you want to post Click on New Thread I'm currently waiting to hear if this LT from SD approves my IFS. Plus, I miss in-n-out burgers and carne asada fries :D

Hahaha! This made me laugh. Oh BTW, was anyone at muster this morning and witness the "I tried to be funny" Ensign get his assed dropped by LT H.? Good stuff. Good stuff.

Nice.

Is the uniform SDBs? Or do we have to buy those dinner dress white jackets?

wait...we have to go??

*ouch

It is true everyone, regardless of their rank, must salute a Medal of honor recepient? Even POTUS has to salute him/her?

And this is why I chose Naval Aviation :D

Screw Rum, Bring back mutton chops! Oh yea baby!

Dude....I concur. I went to Babes for the 1st time last Sat. It f-ckin rocked! If you want quality, go to Babes (take Fairfield, left on N. Davis Hwy). The chicks are smokin (smokin' = holy sh!t) and drinks are reasonably priced. I retrack my previous post. And plus, i was hammered from...

Hey Sherm. I have the LT contact in San Diego since I'm also putting in the request for San Diego IFS. Basically, your son would have to call the LT and say how he has reported to NASC and requests to do IFS in SD. The LT would agree to talk responsibility for him, etc. Also, this is a...

I agree. My roommate just finished API and didnt think it was all that hard. Like some ppl have said, its like 4 wks of Finals. Then after that, the fun water stuff. And by the looks of things are right now, you can look forward to a nice paid-vacation as soon as u get into P'cola. But things...

I graduated/commissioned last month, but they put my package in last Oct and we all found out a week b4 xmas break. I nearly sh!t a brick bc my CO actually made personal phone calls to congratulate us on our service selection. But our skipper is quite the joker and called me up saying the...

Are the gear nazis still being d!icks about the leather jacket issuing?

that site is pretty nutty. its scary to think that all this information about oneself is available to anyone with a computer and internet. im gonna go live off the grid like john conner.

Dude...its SUPER easy. I agree w/above. They'll help you if you show signs of struggle. But seriously, i was a sh!tty swimmer when i showed up to nrotc (I couldnt even tread for a 10 seconds). 3rd class isnt that hard. Its all mental. Just stay calm and if u feel like youll be shallowing water...

Dont forget the hot chicks @ Seville too :D and Sammy's :D

Yes...their "pregame scuffle" made the game much more interesting. haha! But it sure was an awesome game. A-W-E-S-O-M-E..............AWESOME!

UCSB: University of Casual Sex and Beer. Oh wait, wrong school. hah!

Stats: 6/7/7/64 I studied for about a week out of those ARCO bks. Boy did they help.....NOT!! I wish i had discovered AW before my ASTB days. I probably would have done way better. Oh well. I'm muchos contento with my SNFO slot. Now on to Monday Night FOOSBALL!!!!

Unless youre training for the XC trail at NASP. I run pretty slow (11:20-ish). I ran the chip trail last week, 2 miles (4 laps) for 5 days straight. Today I timed myself for the 1.5 mi and got 11:00. And thats on top of heavy drinking Fri and Sat night and about 2 packs of Marlboro lights...

Havent you seen that Jackie Chan movie where he climbs the palm tree??? He used a rope and made a figure-8 between his feet. He did it flawlessly. But yes, I will take your words of wisdom and refrain from climbing palm trees while intoxicated.

I was a non-tech major (Sociology) with a 3.2 gpa and I managed to get an SNFO slot. But I also got a 6/7/7 (i think) on the ASTB. I dont think the major really matters a whole lot. Ive met pilots from a variety of platforms and they all majored in some pretty interesting stuff (i.e. Japanese...

So if u are in uniform, but uncovered, do you return the salute??

Ive seen many an officer salute the Gate guard uncovered. So i guess i started doing it too. Not quite sure if Im in the wrong or not. Plus, I dont wanna mess up my hair-doo! hahaha :D jk. My hair always looks sexy, "Iceman style."

Is there a fee at UWF? I heard Corry has an outdoor pool, but charge? Does anyone know any places to swim for free??

OH SNAP SON!!!! :eek: YOU GoT SERVED UP THE RIZZLE!!!! I would volunteer somewhere one day a week, but Id rather me volun"TOLD" instead. hahaha. naw...im gonna try to get a stash job at the survival school. I needs to get crackin on my swimming cuz I suck monkeyballs. Lata!

I'm not quite sure if they were a working party. There were about 5-6 crammed into those white duty vans. And I was approaching them as they were exiting their vehicle. I cant remember off the top of my noggin what constitutes a "working party," but they didnt look busy if thats what you mean...

Thanks for the advice Brett. Yea, these guys looked fresh outta boot so maybe they just froze when they saw an officer. And personally, its hard to keep a straight face. I ALWAYS smile and say hi when an "E" salutes me. I guess its the whole "I still cant believe Im a officer" feeling :D

This thread is such a coincidence because something happened to me this afternoon and I wanted the input of any officers who might have had a similiar experience..... So I was walking out the PSD at Corry and on my merry way to my truck to go home. I have only been an O-1 for about 2 wks now...

Joe and I checked in the same day. But my week has been pretty fun so far. Lets see..... 1. Went to mcGuires. Drank 2.5 Irish wakes and loss consciousness. Regained consciousness and found myself @ Intermissions? in seville. 2. While attempting to buy a bud, hot chick with alabama accents...

I wholeheartingly concur. MINNESOTA REPRESENT! GO GOPHERS!!

Hey dave, i couldnt find ya at muster. still gonna get a group together for pistol quals?
