I've seen it a number of times on the AF pilots and navs at NASC. Havent seen it on a Marine yet, probably never will. LOTS of navy studs do the "dip" at NASC. I guess its lead by example. I saw the O-3s and up doing, so why not. I havent been called out on it yet.

We had 2 JGs but they did the masters thing. PM me about the guy you know.

I was just talking to the admin folks here at NRD about this today actually. You can change your HOR twice in your life.

NEX ran out of 7 1/4 :D Please show me how a cover is suppose to look like in the fleet so we can save ourselves from looking like douchebags. Knowledge is power.

We "believed" in the button so much that, well.............. I'd like to see the other API classes beat that! I do remember seeing an old api class pic with dudes wearing nothing but their leather and helmet over there privates in front of the O-club.

My avatar is a direct result of bowling at liberty lanes and bowling with the local cuties. The party continued to the Ensign Estates and one of the girls got curious and wandered *ahem* into my room and saw all my gear. She tried on my nomex and helmet and PRESTO! She is a hottie indeed...

Wow. Metal to vapor in 21.1 jiggawatts. Awesome vid.

I had 2 buddies who got put on swim hold for the same exact stroke. You pretty much swim whenever they have remedial swim, which I think is everyday but Friday. Once they are confident you can perform the breast stroke correctly, you'll class up almost immediately. Dont worry about it too much...

good gouge 2sr2. Much thanks :)

I would think it would be a biotch to get any sleep with airliners flying over my house ever other minute. I guess we'll see where it goes. "It sets a 2020 time frame for making land available to begin construction, assuming anticipated litigation and other hurdles are settled." At least...

I hear that pissing off the Admiral is really bad. I also heard something about being locked in the closet but I could be mistakened.

is there a certain time restriction for commercial airliners, like between the hours of 2am-6am, or something like that? dumb question i know but i have to ask since im a retard. I didnt think the jet noise was that bad at Miramar. I could see jets all the time from my backyard. But when I...

I lived in Mira Mesa for 18 yrs and the jet noise wasnt that bad. But make it an International airport, thats definitely gonna make heads spin.

Isn't that the ride where that kid died? Crazy. http://www.local10.com/news/4605237/detail.html And thanks to the ppl who answer my question. I feel less like a retard now.

Does anyone know if NFOs can be astronauts? I swear I remember a FO astronaut while watching the NASA channel. Not sure if he had another job on the shuttle but if anyone knows, please indulge me.

I cant imagine swimming in waves that big. That takes some balls. BTW, it would be nice to have another cameo of Demi Moore in a bikini. Yea cougars!!

I just checked into Primary last week. I have a month wait before I class up. I was just wondering what things I should start "familiarizing" myself with? Everyone says the boldface EP's, op limits and normal procedures. I can find the limits and normal procedures in the flight manual, but...

That looks fun but dangerous as hell. I'd hate to prolong my wait in flight school due to a med down. Doc: So what brings you to my office? Ensign: I went tube kiting. Doc: Here's a number for a truck driving school.

The only bad thing about getting issued uniforms freshman year is that they dont let you trade when you "get bigger." Well, at least at my unit they wouldnt let us exchanged for bigger sizes. I had to buy brand new slacks and chokers for my commissioning. If I had kept my SDBs they issued me in...

Thanks A4s.

You learn fast grasshoppa :icon_wink

Thanks all for the replies. I've read the regs but I also wanted to know the "unofficial" regs. I guess just to see whats out there and what I can expect. So far, most of the leather jackets I've seen had a squadron/command patch and the nametag. Ive only seen one other LT with nothing on his...

To avoid starting a brand new thread, i have two quick questions: 1. Are we authorized to wear the green nomex jacket with khakis? Or is it only with flight suits? 2. For the leather jacket, it is just one nametag and one command patch? Or can we have the flag on the left shoulder and...

Dont worry. I wasnt very excited about the water events either. But if you listen to the instructors and do what youre told, you'll pass. I'm living proof you can sink like a rock and still pass API swimming. Brett: Yea, our AERO I instructor kept saying it and everytime we chuckled. It was...

You guys can download here: http://www.navynfo.com/API.wmv API was a great time. I cant wait to start Primary......or can I?

WOW.....I actually got goosebumps. Great music. Very dynamic. Bravo Johnny boy. -31 represent!! BTW, i was the guy being dragged on the ground for that split second. Good times.

Yea, it's really up to you whether you go surface or aviation or whatever. Thats how I kinda of thought of it when I was ranking my preferences. I would rather be up in the sky than anywhere else, whether it be a FO or pilot (I'm a FO). Again, this is me. Everyone has their own reasons of...

Over-water??! Thats awesome. We just did parasailing today, but i had no idear they used to do it over water. My nipples got hard just doing it over a big grassy field at about 400ft. I imagine it would have rocked to be over water. Well, except for the wet part. Then again, we didnt get to do...

I swear I'm working on it. I'm trying to get better at the range before I embarrass myself on the green :D

P.S. I was in A-pool just shy of 9 months but I didn't "eventually" get stashed. Maybe I was lucky or maybe I was just so damn sexy that no stash job was worthy of my sexiness. I dunno. But it is very possible not to be stashed while in A-pool (I knew a bunch of FOs with no stash jobs), unless...

DAAANG-ITTT!!

Good question. The married guys in my class are actually really cool dudes. But yea, different strokes for different folks I guess. But damn Crowbar, did I really deserve a neg rep point?? Thats just plain cold. I was just voicing my "opinion" based on what I've seen. But then again, I am...

I dont understand why you would want a one bedroom apt though?? Roommates are the way to go. Its WAAAAAAAAAY cheaper (pocket $500+ every month) and its nice to live with the folks you'll be studying with, drinking with, etc. I've gone through 3 navy roommates and all of them were pretty cool...

Does the Navy pay for the prk for the mids? If so, that really chaps my a$$. Academy guys get PRK for free while the nrotc kids have to pay out of pocket? I guess it felt a bit unfair knowing my eyes were the only thing keeping me from pursuing the pilot route but i lacked the funds to get prk...

No, it is not easy to find space in the Q for A-pool/API. It is often full. Especially this time of year when everyone is reporting for API. With that being said, it couldnt hurt to ask and see if theres anything availabe. Also, I have a classmate whos been chillin at a hotel near base until we...

You might want to update that. We no longer fly the T-34 but the T-6 in Primary. Also, I believe we fly the T-1/T-39 in Intermediate but someone could correct me on that.

You usually take the ASTB soph or jr year. The unit will submit your package Fall of your senior year and you'll get a decision usually before xmas. Good luck!

I'm not sure, but FAM 0-6 for us FOs fly in the front sit, correct? Are we required to land as well? How much pilot stuff are we actually required to do while in the front sit? Again, just curious.

Hey Zach! Its your b!tch Ensign who did OHARP 2 months ago. To everyone else, the DVD is WORTH IT! Lots of great flying (and non-flying *ahem) footage and an inside look of squadron life. I bought mine while working with Meat and I gotta say this DVD is prime. I give it 3 thumbs up!

Zab...I love your avatar. Are you having a case of the Mondays?? lol.

geez, chris....still using your U of M account?? I stopped checking mine the day I left Minnesota. anyways, enjoy the wait in A-pool. I hear it'll get up to 300-400 by August. Fun times.

INSANE!! At least he was doing something he loved. A hero/aviation warrior in my book :)

Damn....

I remember posting that video a while back. If you look closely in the beginning, you can see a guy crap his pants.

Hahaha. Roger that Gatordev.

I'm not sure if we're allowed to tilt the head back. I actually did this on my third try and I did notice better bouyancy and less work. I need to practice it more. Can we do the same with the helmet as well? Anyways, I'll apply your technique during E.I. and report back. Much thanks Brett.

I just did WS-5 (SV-2, boots, gloves, flight suit) today and wasnt able to complete it. I feel like sh!t but I'm not gonna let this be the end of me. I'm on E.I. now. My problem I think was my technique. And for some reason, I was getting tired as soon as we had to drown proof. On the third...

Yea, why did they turn Miramar into a Marine base in the first place? They still fly helos and jets so it cant be a noise issue. I lived in SD for 19 yrs and never really knew the answer.

uh-oh. I smell a fight brewin'..... GD, i feel ya brother. I also went Community college, got like 3-4 F's, then realized "What da hell am I doing?" I dont know how much different the selection process of BDCP vs. NROTC so cant help you too much. But it's definitely a good thing if you have...
