The wait time really varies. And it would be a waste of time to bug the flt mgmt ppl about it. You along with a whole butt load of other peeps will have reported to A-pool IFS complete. Some will wait longer than others. And some will class up within 2 months of reporting. At this point in...

Congrats man! Youre gonna have a kicka$$ time here. Lots of hard work but definitely worth every second of blood and sweat. But you know what they say....Study hard/Play Harder :D Good luck and Welcome to the Club!

I would have gone with the P-8 "Bada$$ MuthaF-cka." But I can live with Poseidon.

Depends on how many Rum & Cokes you have. "Fat chicks need love too. Except they gotta PAY." -Quagmire

FOR-EV-VER........FOR-EV-VER.......FOR-EV-VER :D

I gonna be at McGuires tmrw for ladies night. Alcohol, dont you dare let me down! Liquid courage baby!

So basically get drunk and collect per diem while you still can. That's all I needed to know. GOD I love this job :D

It ranges. I know guys who were at Randolph for 6 months, winged, then waited another 6 months to start the RAG. Others had a shorter wait to start the RAG. So you really wont have a clue until you get there. E6 guys go straight to Tinker AFB in OK.

Actually, we dont technically go straight to the RAG. We go through UMFO course for 6 wks. Wing. Then the RAG. Sorry Bubba. Not trying to steal your thunder, or hail, or whatever u wanna call it. You can spank me later if u like.

Every other class selecting out of Primary is being sent to either Randolph or Jacksonville. If you get Randolph (San Antonio), you leave after completion of Primary training. Do 6-8 months of training in TX, then get winged. If you get Jacksonville (the "Test Group"), then you finish the...

nice! i look forward to that tour :icon_tong

I second that. Think about getting through training first. Worry about all that other junk later, preferably after you earn your wings.

Good vid. Music was.....eh. Great memories from API. Cant believe Ill be finished this summer. BTW, our API vid (class 0631 aka Blue Falcon) was the BOMB-DIGGITY!

We are an equal-opportunity household. Plus, what better way to end your military career than to party hard with a bunch of 0-1's. WOOT! But if it is fraternization, then disregard said statement.

Funny this thread came up. My dad was the typically filipino recruited out of P.I. and became an MS, then MSC, then CWO4. 29.5 years in the Navy. Lots of my uncles are/were Chiefs. So expectations are high being that I was the first to get commissioned an officer. But its an honor to represent...

haha. very true. I definitely will give as much gouge as you want. I'm all about helping my fellow shipmates :)

I'm at Pensacola you tool :D Love, Your roommate

Hey, if u guys are looking for a place to live please PM me. I'll have a room available beginning of Jan. $350/month for everything (rent+all ultilities, wireless internet, washer/dryer). Only 10 mins from front gate of NAS. Great house/price/location. Ill send you pictures if interested. BTW...

Short answer, yes. You need to be accepted to the school with the NROTC program (or crosstown). As far as applying, it doesnt matter if u get the scholarship before or after youve been accepted. But the 2 most important things is being awarded the scholarship AND being accepted to the college...

We (SNFOs) have a nav bag to hold our kneeboard, approach plates, charts, etc. Could it be that?

Drink heavily, sleep in, repeat.

It's funny bc I just joined this group on facebook. Maybe you should give it a gander. It's called.... "Wisconsin Is the 2nd Best State, But Only Because the Other 49 are Tied For 1st."

I enjoy reading candidates' statements. It reminds me how never to take this job for granted and how hard people are willing to work to capture their goal of becoming a Naval Officer. JRide- Your statement is great. I couldnt have said it any better. Just keep revising but seriously, it...

I dont know about all of that but Badgers can lick my nuts. BETTER DEAD THAN RED!!!!! (Gopher Alum '05 :D )

I think its great learning about our great country, but I think you meant www.usaa.com :p

$870/month?! good god. i actually want to pocket some extra cash. that place better have gold-plated toilets!

I sent a PM.

i just saw the new class check-in today and saw a dude wearing the khaki flight suit. sucks they ran out of sage. he made heads turn thats fo'sho.

Yea, leave the GF where shes at. I've had a gf since starting flight school. Surprisingly, when she visited 2 wks ago I did really well on my flights. Maybe it was the reward I got when I got home :D But thats beside the point. The GF would be a big distraction if u really enjoy her company...

dont even bother. YOURE DONE!! haha..ok, i had my laugh. Dude, dont worry about it. As long as it wasnt for drug possession or anything involving handcuffs, youre okay. If the Navy had to deny every guy/gal who had a traffic ticket on their record, it would be a small Navy.

Yea, I too heard the tire blow as I was flippin burgers. Despite that, the Rhino put on one hell of a show. Made me wish that my class was offered more jet slots :( But I toured the P-3 and wasnt entirely disappointed :D

I just dropped off my quickpost deposit at UPS today and the mananger showed me a memo sent out just yesterday saying Financial Technologies, Inc. is ending the quickpost service on Nov 30, 2006. I've been searching all over the net confirming this but coldnt come up with anything. I'll try...

Sir, would u like a DRAFT report?

Peter Besenyei is the man. There were times when I thought I was watching an RC plane. Some of the things they do make me drool. Great vid man.

You could get stashed working in flight management i.e. admin work. You could also be volunteered to be in aviation studies i.e. NAMRL, ASTB re-take, etc. And then theres the ever-so-popular working party where youre slaved into moving tables, furniture, or whatever needs to be moved. If youre...

My palms were sweating reading this story. I guess I have a few things to look forward to at the boat :D

Are you serious? Sheeeeeeeesh. Yea, i ended up throwing down like $70-80 for all my stuff, including the kneeboard and nav bag. Probably part of the "Student Harassment Package" along with turnpoint procedures. I'm still a$$es to elbows. But its getting better.

I dont get why gear issue runs out of the "average" size (i.e. 40R, 42R). A bunch of us had to wait 3 months to get flight suits that actually fit. Luckily, we got our leathers the day of gear issue. I think its a better idea to wear flight suits till after academics. I felt like I didnt...

haha...dont tease him. Try not to freak out if you feel yourself going under in full flight gear like me. Just be a man and scream like a sissy.

The Miramar Airshow always kicked a$$ when i used to live there. I'm looking forward to the Blue Angel Homecoming Show next month.

haha, so true bro. Also.... INSTRUCTOR: KATT 604, which NAVAID are you using?? ME: I'm using the......sh!t. This was after I gave the MOT call. INSTRUCTOR: Hey stud, do you mind descending to MDA? ME: But sir, I havent hit FAF yet? INSTRUCTOR: Look at your altitude. I was still at...

Yea, its too bad the guy who made the site DOR'd after FAM-1. Smart guy too. He just didn't like flying even though he MIF'd everything. Check out Bubba's "Class 06-21 Trek Thru Training" thread. There's some descent gouge that I used and I'm doing fine. BTW, I hate TPs.

It depends on your NASC instructors. Some will do it on the chip trail while others will do it on the track. Totally random. So if I were you, I'd prepare for the worse and run on the chip trail for practice. PRT is the Monday following Day Zero.

Just thought I'd share this video trailer of a Eurofighter incorporating some CGI. It got me pretty motivated. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/258238/eurofighter_typhoon/

I remember doing my enlisted cruise as a middy. We berthed with enlisted, worked with enlisted, etc. I found the training very beneficial. Kind of like a snapshot of what life as an enlisted personnel is like. No one really knew we were Mids because we wore working blues most of the time with no...

I'm sure the "cruise sock" routine would have supplied enough forearm workout to withstand the strength needed for the sidestick. Sorry, I had to say it :p

...that the T-Birds wore G-suits. How UGLY is that?! I was told the Blues don't wear the G-suit for the public image. It makes them look more "hardcore." Can someone verify this so I dont look like an a$$? :D vs.

The pouring of ice tea did it for me. Simply AMAZING....

Thats why I'll make sure to preflight my LPUs :)
