Correct. And the week after that. And the week after that... It starts to get better eventually, but how much better and how soon it gets better depends on the class and the class team. The only way to go through OCS is to make yourself put up with it. 90% of the time you will be some...

It varies. If you fail the In-PFA, or get hit with a failure to maintain during indoc week, or you get injured, you roll into H-class. You'll stay in H-class until the staff thinks you are fit to continue training, and then you roll into the next class (you take a lot of PFAs in H). If you...

Gouge for Warden et. al: In-PRT is Sat Medium. Having said that, if you run a time in the high 11:00s or 12:00s you are definately going to get DI attention. Probably the same deal if you do less than 50 pushups. BWT DI attention is not a cute affectionate thing, you do not want it! Make sure...

If you don't take criticism well, you may want to avoid posting after reading something that starts to get you riled up. Instead, simply close your browser and give yourself an hour or so to think about what was said, whether it was meant in jest, and if the tone was really as hostile / unfair...

It sure is.

ditto

Yes, thank you Cate, I was thinking of posting something similar but you've done it. Read On Killing. The truth is most people don't want to hurt/kill people and that is a GOOD thing. Even most people in the military don't really want to kill people, but they'll do it because it's their job...

These are excellent points. I didn't mean to sound so rigid in my denunciation of technical degrees. There are advantages to suffering through a technical major. You'll know what it is like to work hard, and the possibility of failing a class is always present, and you will gain confidence in...

I didn't want to have to do this :eek:! Know and understand that if you choose to follow the path of a technical major, you will have to do a lot of work. The first document was from my intermediate lab class I took my second year as a physics major, we had to do 5 of those in a semester. The...

Yeah, a felony seems a little harsh...isn't there supposed to be mens rea in our legal system? Sounds like he got off easy, though, so I guess there still is.

As far as I am concerned, the only reason to take on a technical major is if you are interested in a technical subject. Technical majors are hard. The Navy will not give you a higher rank just because you are an engineer, and they won't give you special treatment either. As far as the...

Roger. Apparently my recruiter was not in the office today, I left a message but I guess I won't know anything until Tuesday. Should probably start jumping on this since "error in the system" has my name written all over it.

Has anyone gotten orders for this date yet? My selection letter had this date, but I haven't received orders so I'm thinking I may have been pushed back.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/05/25/iraq.main/index.html He is calling on his Mehdi army to stop fighting against Iraqi troops / police, calling for peace between Sunnis and Shias, etc. I am a little too ignorant of Iraq to suggest he may actually be turning towards playing a "positive...

Congrats! And good luck to the rest of the applicants.

Test yourself periodically using TIMED practice tests. Use your math skills to figure out what your time limit should be based on how many questions there are in the practice test.

To be fair, I don't think he is planning on sending the curriculum vitae in, it's just for info. Also, a CV is supposed to be at least 2 pages...it's not a resume. Having said that, if you're going to send something in, don't send the CV, send a resume. CVs are really for academia so you can...

I restrained myself when it was just one post but... Fixed for fellow movie quote nerds.

:eek: Woops, didn't realize :(

From This Thread As for army, there are a few threads on this, click on the search button and search for Army Aviation or some such thing and you should find some info on it.

Don't you know that some states are more equal than others?

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/05/21/florida.primary.ap/index.html Florida has set its primary date for January 29, which will probably cause a domino effect and could even put the first primaries in December of this year. Why? Because Florida wants some more attention from the candidates.

IMO probably the best advice. Just try to relax. Keep your chest and head raised, try to keep your stomach relaxed and breathe into your diaphragm at a natural pace. That's what works best for me. If you can't breathe while you are running your only two options are to slow down or suck it...

PRK would allow you to become an aviator if you qualify for the surgery and all goes well (which it usually does). The Contact Lense "waiver" seems to be in a state of flux and I wouldn't count on it.

A few things to keep in mind: 1) Paragraphs are your friend :D 2) Marine OCS is more physically demanding than Navy OCS (but oh well, if that's what you really want). 3) Marines in some areas get great discounts on bikes. As for the real differences between Marines and Squids, I'll let an...

No worries, fella I had the same questions when I was considering applying. As to how difficult it is to get a pro-rec and a select for pilot or NFO, I would say it is moderately difficult. That is, if you are committed to getting a slot, you will probably eventually get one as long as you are...

Sounds like someone pulling our leg a little? Ah well, in case it isn't, here's an ignorant person's (my) perspective. Basically, selection is a crapshoot. Some weeks, yeah, it really is that tough to get a jet slot, other weeks it might not be. Also, the thing that dictates who gets what is...

Now I miss the New Threads link under the Welcome, Kickflip89 thing. Ah well, I vaguely remember the front page from when I first started lurking here :D. I will adapt and overcome!

I like this sentiment. I like this sentiment too. Case in point: I remember going over fluid flow for a cylinder in my PDE class. I've written out the arguments from my notes as a cautionary tale about wanting to chuck the "I believe" button completely (Originally we went over it because a...

Sounds like a good way to accidentally agree to get into a threesome...and not the cool kind.

Hi Robert, Welcome to the forum. To start off, if you haven't, check this compilation of threads out, it's got a few different links to threads about STA-21 and enlisted applications etc. As to your specific questions, I'll let Scoob or Brett chime in. From a completely ignorant standpoint...

Don't push yourself on your PT, just focus on maintaining what you have at this point. Freeze water in a styrofoam cup, and at the end of the day peel off the styrofoam and massage each leg with the ice, starting at the ankle. Stretch before and after any activity (duh). You might also want...

Final episode of Seinfeld? It wasn't that celebrated :). I can understand the bystander effect. During my sophomore year there were a bunch of people hanging out at my apartment. One of the guys and his friends decided to play a practical joke and stage a fake kidnapping. So there's this...

How in-depth are we talking about? Are we talking solving Laplace's equation in multiple dimensions for a stream equation or are we talking about something a little simpler?

Thank God for the effect I guess :eek:...that was nuts.

Holy God, it's worse than I thought! I didn't think I'd have too many problems pushing through to graduation...but this really makes you think, ya know? :)

Fixed :icon_tong. Best so far is in the high 48s...nothing spectacular

He speaks the truth.

MoMos is pretty good. A great place that lot of people know about in TLH is King's Barbecue. Back when I was a freshman it was just a BBQ stand on the corner of a gas station, but now they have their own building and everything. They still only take cash, but it's good and it's cheap.

Zilch comes to mind.

No one wants to go "Oldschool?"

I think this is the point...Let the Navy deal with informing the family first. God forbid they have to figure out through a website.

Agreed, I had to turn off the TV after the anchor on CNN, while talking to an eyewitness, said something like, "Wow, that must have been quite an explosion," as if it must have been 'neat'. Hopefully the family isn't watching this kind of frenzy, my thoughts and prayers go out to them.

Thanks for the heads up Scoob, haven't seen it in quite some time. I think "The Breaking Point," "Day of Days," and "Crossroads" are my favorites.

Different game, different guess, same result.

I've sent her all the info I know about it, and as far as I know I'm still slated for the June 9 OCS date. My recruiter is out of town at the moment, but as soon as she gets back on the 30th I'll ask her about updating my SSBI form and possibly pushing back the OCS date once I have an idea of...

This is an important question, and it gets asked a lot. First of all, you are NOT required to fill in three warfare communities. You can put only one choice, or as many as three. The absolute best thing you can do is this: Do not put down a warfare community unless you are prepared to accept...

Went ahead and hired a local traffic attorney since I can't seem to make any headway with the court through the telephone. I tried calling the state attorney's office and they basically told me you have to take it up with the trooper or the Judge. I tried to ask the clerk how to file for...

OK so far these are the options I've managed to figure out: 1. Pay an attorney about $2.5k to take care of the whole mess (including investigating what actually happened) 2. Type up affidavit from my boss saying I worked that day along with a time sheet showing I worked from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m...
