I misunderstood sir. That's why you used papyrus scrolls... :D

I concur with the above... In order to succeed you have to focus on the next step. Right now, it wouldn't serve any purpose to read a NATOPS manual. In order to fly anything in the Navy you first have to accomplish the following IN ORDER: Graduate High School Apply for a College/University...

What was wrong with writing the flight schedule up on a whiteboard or even chalkboard back then? We still do that today, at least in the VTs.

Your electronics will be fine in your car.

I think the biggest problem for the airline industry is that the business models most of these airlines have are failures. This ordinarily wouldn't be a problem in a capitalist market... One business fails, another one that can do the job (or at least thinks they can) steps up to bat. The...

They used to have an actual SEAL authenticator website. I think it was authentiseal.com or something. You'd just plug in the information and it would respond within 24-48 hours letting you know if said person was a SEAL (I guess they had the master lists of who graduated BUD/s). Back in...

I couldn't agree more. There is no reason to bitch about not getting a meal with your ticket. If you deserve such great service, then you can drop the money on a first class ticket. Chances are, if you are flying on said airline (that isn't giving you a meal en route), it is probably because...

Like Fester said, search. This topic has been covered pretty thoroughly on here. I can tell you that lateral transferring isn't very common. It is however very doable to 'redesignate' communities while in the BDCP program prior to OCS. Here's what I did. I applied for Pilot, FO, and...

Hmm... I'm pretty sure I can confirm the origin of this pic:

So what other Airwarriors are going to be out on this boat det?

Makes me wonder what a full facial in space would look like...... Probably epic.

Hmm.. From this angle it looks like a pair of glorified misting fans.

Finally somebody that can give Citation a run for his money... The water looks incredibly life like.

Sorry to continue the threadjack, but speaking of operating costs per hour, anyone know what a T-45 costs per hour to operate? I know the older Alpha models are around $18 million, but I heard from an IP that the newer charlies are worth closer to $25 million... I'm assuming since in the 45...

Some people just don't seem to get it.....

On one hand, I find it pretty outrageous that someone could be so irresponsible while their sole job for a few hours is to get the 180+ lives they are transporting to their destination safely. That is a lot of people whose lives and trust depend on you to do it right, EVERY TIME. Commercial...

It appears that my avatar has been mysteriously changed to a pair of pink stained granny panties. Well played Web San.

They probably just called it something different in the Civil War era sir. :D 'VFR turns' away from the section or division are done about each aircraft's axis, to match lead's angle of bank, so you'll be looking at lead's belly. 'IFR turns' away are done about lead's axis, so in the turn...

Sir, not an IP, but I can explain how I was taught how to do a turning and/or CV join out here in K'Rock. First of all, once a CV, always a CV (if lead enters a turn after taking off, and rolls out of the turn, you still join to whichever side was the 'outside' while he was in the turn, if...

Unfortunately, chow hall is the most obvious thing that OCS lost in the move between Pensacola and Newport. Chow hall in PCola was hell. Between the DI's knocking plates over, swatting glasses, barfing and screaming going on, I found it at times to be more stressful than other parts, like...

I feel like I'm the only one that thinks UAVs would be a great gig. Do I think it's as good of a gig as actually flying? No. But it sure beats everything else (IMHO). Perks: 1) You live in Las f**king Vegas. 2) You work in a nice, dark, air conditioned building/shack. 3) You probably...

I have my own technique for tuning and identifying the station, properly named the Godspeed Tune and Identify Monitor Method, or GTIMM for short.... Tune up your Vortac, read the bearing and DME, reference chart and GPS. If it looks right within a dozen degrees or a couple DME, you are good to...

I would imagine these UAV's would have some sort of IFF/transponder or something that can be interrogated by other aircraft or controllers. I haven't heard of any midair collisions involving operational UAVs (not that I would have heard in the first place); I think this is a testament to the...

I'm with schoolbubba on this one. The pool is great at giving you practice of the basic mechanics, but doesn't hold a candle to floating out in the bay with the rotorwash blasting water in your eyes, and the cable swinging all over the place. Kinda like flying in the sim vs. doing it for real...

If I ever could afford to buy something like that, it wouldn't be the $5 mil that would concern me in the least bit, it would be the gas and maintainance, respectively... I don't even want to guess what the fuel flow (even at cruise at alt) for that thing is... One flight would probably drain my...

For all those initially interested in the SCUBA gear I was selling, I put it on Ebay with a starting bid of $280 w/free shipping.. It has one bid... Looks like it might go for $280.. So if you want it for possibly $70 below my asking price, and want it shipped to you for free to boot, feel free...

Speaking of cool tv boxes, saw this bad boy in an issue of Maxim. (not work friendly)www.fyretv.com Any takers?

Another newbie ar-15 question for the pros (trying to square things away before I buy and build one of these bad boys). Would you be federally screwed with one of these if you ever got stationed in california? Read on wiki that they only allow ar-15s that have the fixed mag breech type loaded...

These are fucking sick. "Dead men tell no tales".... Think the sale is still going on? I'm not much of a gun nut.... I own a 1970s Winchester .30 06 and a 12 gauge pump... Had them my whole life.... Now i'm getting the 'itch. Pardon the lack of my knowledges and please humor me... The...

Uhh, dude. What are you doing reading Al Jazeera?

If I was President Obama, I would definitely appoint you the Admin Czar of the Navy. You are a fountain of useful knowledges.

I have never been in a situation such as this, nor will I probably ever be in one. With that being said, the dilemma in Lone Surivor would have certainly been a tough one. If I recall from the book, they DIDN'T kill the goatherders due to the fact that they would certainly be court martialed...

If they are more comfortable than khakis, then wouldn't it only make sense? I think it's the reason aviators wear flight suits even on days they aren't flying; they are more comfortable... Please impart your knowledges on me if I am mistaken....

The nasal spray is the bomb-diggidy. I'd rather sniff than get jabbed by an E-1 giving his first shot. Then again, i'm a big pu$$y when it comes to needles.

So the NWUs don't hold a candle to flight suits... Anyone think they are more comfortable than khakis? They look like it. No shirt stays, etc. That alone seems to be a good reason to get em'. Anyone know if they are allowed to be worn on watch or is it command specific?

You can also be a Supply officer if you don't want to be a Nuke. Have a friend that did BDCP Supply and went subs. Really it's the only gig that you are a department head on your first tour... He really enjoys it.

Funniest thing I saw all day.

Affirm. But out of all other places to live, it isn't THAT bad. If you're going to compare it to the garden of eden, what's the point in the conversation? I'm especially surprised to hear this negative Corpus talk from a guy that like me, has had the PLEASURE of living in ENID, AMERICA...

Somebody needs to go change their Gerbil and wipe the sand out of their respective Vajayjay.

Yeah. I'm going to go ahead and go with option 'C' on that one.

I agree with Bogey in that P'cola is a lot more fun of a town, but there certainly is a good amount of fun to be had in Corpus. For those that live on the island, I don't even understand how you could even begin to complain, oil rig in sight or not... I have some friends that live in Compas...

Looking for an all or none deal at this point. You might be able to get a good deal on this mask on Ebay though. Wilco.

Yeah, both the fins and the mask are top of the line (as evident by how much they cost new). I noticed a HUGE difference in both comfort and propulsion when I switched to the twin jets. I'd recommend them to anyone that SCUBA dives religiously The mask was a great (but expensive) purchase...

I decided I'm going to sell my SCUBA gear. I thought I'd post it on Airwarriors first to see if anyone wants it before I put it up on Craigslist or Ebay for the masses. I put a chunk of money into all of it, and just don't use it enough to warrant keeping it. I'd rather someone else have it...

I, unfortunately watched the full version of that video for the first time a few months ago.... One of the most disturbing things I have ever seen.

I've made it a point to turn in my SGLI and page 2 to each new command I go to (it usually happens to be part of the check in process), but how do I make sure it is "in the system". Is there somewhere I can log in and check this stuff, other than taking my YNs word for it? Just seems like...

I'm not gonna lie brah, I've built 75+ computers, and have certainly dabbled in multiple OS systems... All I've got to say is Windows man... Windows. Unless you are this guy:

I think A4s lives somewhere between the PNW and Hawaii.... Maybe he owns his own island..... He's kind of like Dog the Bounty Hunter, one minute he's in Hawaii, then the next, PSHAM, he's in Colorado.
