S/F syllabus is not a lot of fun, except for 2vX. Then again, strike syllabus is not a lot of fun except for comps. So, based on FS, I think either way you're in for a lot of pain :)

I'm on the road this week, so drink one for me.

Wow. Sometimes an IP back in T-6s would say something like, "I'd rather land it on I-10 than eject." I think not. :eek:

I don't know if there's anything "helpful" someone could tell you about who your DI is. Your whole class learns a lot about your DI fairly quickly. All I can say is side straddle hops, begin, and make my diamonds right now.

Incredible. Thanks for posting this.

I'm selecting, and then there's a hit party, so I'll probably be at the club at some point tomorrow with several FO brethren. Welcome to the dark side.

I guess that's an example of a double-negative becoming a positive? I KEED, I KEED!

I solo'd three times in IFS as a SNFO last Feb - March. Had a blast. I agree that things like, can you hold an altitude / heading, are not as important to a FO as things like, do you know what heading / altitude you are trying to hold, and do you notice that you are not holding it. Still, a...

Definitely wouldn't fit in a T-6. Also, even though I don't know a shit ton about pilot training, I'd think you wouldn't need more pubs than you could fit on a leg strap until you get to instrument training, and then you might only need a few approach plates that you could fit in the map cases.

This falls into the category of a "good deal."

You are a legend, Gut. That video just gets better every time.

You also probably met me. I was the drunk dude.

Consider it an unholy pact, then. If you don't look like a creep, then you're doing it wrong.

Mustache April? I'm game if you're game.

Can I get a stash job?

86 winging today, so I will definitely be around.

Outstanding

Last night TWO people went behind the bar, and they were both called out by the base CO. Can't really complain with two free drinks on a Friday evening.

Yikes. That would be pretty harsh.

Yeah, we didn't need motivational thoughts, we had a squadron bar. AWESOME, btw, Cron. Especially your signature, which I never noticed before.

FO planes: E-6: flies around with a giant antenna. I really don't know too much about this plane, but the impression I got is it's kind of secret squirrel / comm stuff. Based out of Oklahoma City, I believe. P-3 / EP-3: Anti-Sub warfare, surveillance, other secret squirrel type stuff. Based...

I think it stands for "advanced tactical maneuvering." It's the T-45C stage (previously T-2 stage).

To reiterate what Richard said: The 86 selection sheet has Prowler, Growler, and Super Hornet on it. However, the actual cut off in training occurs between "strike" and "strike fighter." Prowler folks go straight from "strike" to ATM. Growler and Rhino dudes go through the "strike fighter"...

This is close to pure awesome.

I could never find anything on BUPERS about what is required for it. I'm guessing at least a nametag?!?

Haha, no I meant for A-poolers it might be nice to talk to some non-NASC folks. I always like talking to out-of-town folks at the club.

It's not like A-poolers or API studs are not welcome at the club. In fact, it might be a breath of fresh air to talk some studs and instructors who are not part of NASC for a change.

Secondary, or sometimes auxiliary. I'll be here all night.

OPNAV, no. Wing/squadron, yes. Plus, EA6BFlyer is in a T-39, which uses a boom mike and headset.

I think the DIs have better things to do than read AWs.

Lay off them, they're starving.

Roger, and another good tip, as you will fly with an instructor at some point who will either 1) change your flight plan with ATC in flight, or 2) take away your jet card. Or both.

Wow. They ARE hardcore, huh?

I was thinking maybe I am not supposed to use my jet log for anything, but I've never heard that applied to time-to-go unless you get an enroute change of flight plan (which is another good reason to go on a cross country).

Maybe I am going to Memphis for BBQ at the Rendezvous :)

Intermediate: T-6 Vnavs: T-6 intermediate is another special kind of hell. This time it is hell because you have too much to do, too much to learn, and not enough time to do it. Your priorities for T-6 intermediate ground school should be: 1) make your charts. 2) Memorize TP procedures...

Kickflip's FO gouge Since the old summary of NFO flight school is a little outdated from the old syllabus, I thought I'd give a brief overview of primary / intermediate in VT 4 / 10 and a few tips along the way. Tips are pretty unorgonized, just things I noticed in the various stages...

ditto.

Count me in for next time. Didn't get back from Lemoore till late on Friday, but I'm between squadrons at the moment and due for another night at the O'club soon.

Probably takes about 15 minutes or so to make it to mobile downtown from Sherman in a t-6A, so maybe 20 from Whiting in a T-6B? Most importantly for Milton IP's and studs: Food choices for Out-and-ins will be greatly expanded (Lake Charles)! I don't know how you guys handle cross countries...

Showing up 100% is good gouge, cause you'll be sick pretty much constantly to varying degrees of annoyance for your stay in sunny Newport.

They have a test for phorias and tropias. There are limits to how much you can have in the NAMI waiver guide.

It is difficult. Almost everything is aerobic, even the "strength" days. On top of that, some of the exercises are designed to build up as much lactic acid in your muscles as possible, and are used as "punishment" of sorts. Add lack of sleep and lack of food and it is a very difficult time...

This is just plain silly...which reminds me: Seriously, though. There's no way Obama will repeal DADT without allowing gays in the military. I don't think it will harm too much, and if they're willing to give their life for the defense of the nation, then what's the problem?

"I was too low to get out" Who designs these tests?!?!?

You should not make jokes like that with someone who is going through a rough time. Didn't you pay attention in SWOicide awareness training?!?

Hmmm, I always thought the HI-TACAN 7L at NPA was for SNFO torture. Nice to see they have a purpose :)

You can never go wrong with Trogdor, +1.
