Get over yourself hombre. You aren't an officer. So you have nothing to be offended by. You haven't earned or proven jack squat yet, and you certainly have no senority over this veteran.

CDs? Are you effin kidding me dude? Maybe your CDs from eighth grade are doing ok, but think about current rates... Even better, google them. The current yield for a 5 year CD is between 1-3%. Hardly a good return on your investment... Perhaps just par with inflation. With those kind of...

Touche! I stand humbly corrected... :D

Notice how they are wearing exactly ZERO patches..... They must be going to Bed Bath and Beyond.... :D

OK. Was directed towards Emily... DUH.

I make my own music videos (in the little spare time I DO have). Let me know if you're interested. I also like walking on the beach and candle-lit dinners (only if you do though).

I don't think you understand the concept of SUNK COSTS, because if you did, you wouldn't be saying this... To make it simple, think of it in terms of shares of stock.... Person A went out and bought 500 shares of stock in the Ford Motor Company before this recession lets say.... The 500...

Great idea. Unless of course, word of this ingenious thread gets around to the folks in charge of you at API that you are doing this as a stunt for beer (they do have internets, believe it or not, and they ARE on AW)... And resultantly you get sent to one of those lovely boards or get a nice...

F- THAT SH*T. I pay sales tax here, I'm a Texan if I wanna be. :D

I love Texas.... Only lived here for 6-8 months but so far I dig... The second I crossed the border I could tell i'd arrived... Whenever there was a speed trap/cop ahead EVERYBODY flashed their beams to give me a heads up.. Whenever I was in Houston/San Antonio and crossed a street, people were...

Thanks for the update... I live vicariously through the drama of others here on AW... So keep me posted...

Since all the A-poolers have been quaking in their boots (or dusted off black shoes)... What was the aftermath of the Thursday/Friday inspection? How many pink slips have been handed out? Are your worst fears confirmed? Have their been 100 people kicked out yet? :D

It's on HBO tonight again for those interested....

Yeah but it's like 3+ hours away....:(

"They don't have electric chairs in Texas.... They have electric bleachers..."

You aren't going to get kicked out of aviation for an IP.... As others have said, or as the expression goes, "Just shut up and color". Everything will be fine so long as you keep putting your best foot forward and work hard to be on your 'A' game.

That's freakin awesome! This is a perfect mirror of midevil times..... First, there was horseback archery..... The gunpowder came along, rifles replaced bows and bullets replaced arrows... Cavalry was replaced with helicopters... Now, we meld the helicopter and the rifle together.... This, my...

Mine said show up NLT 1600 on Sunday..... I rolled up at 1530 with a couple other Ensigns... We were given about 5 minutes of grief because we were "being irresponsible by doing things at the last minute" by the candios... We finally got into the squad bay, to see a bunch of sweaty, sad looking...

It doesn't matter who ordered it... He was issued a traffic citation that MAY have had alcohol as a factor... That is enough of a reason for the NAVY to not want to deal with it and bring in a fresh ENS to replace him. Such decisions are made WAY above my paygrade, so I won't even speculate...

I also want to point out something that I didn't really know about in API that (if it hasn't been emphasized already), i'd like to point out to everybody..... This is to studs that are in early stages of training (API, Primary, and probably even Intermediate/Advanced) If you drink...

No kidding.... They have NO idea how things work... What did they think would happen? They would just show back up to the command and everything would be hunky dory? EVEN IF this somehow didn't get back to the command and this went 'unnoticed', they would be instantly shitcanned when it was...

Man.. I think if they were hiking/camping and killed a bird or two to eat it'd be one thing.... Looks like they were just on a rampage...... I think they should be required to do 2 years enlisted as an undesignated striker... It's the least they can do for tarnishing the academy's reputation...

There are many colleges and universities that don't allow firearms on campus. In many cases, they are private entities that can make whatever rules they like about what people are and aren't allowed to have on their property (unfortunately). I'm a proud supporter of strengthening our 2nd...

Luckily, due to cyclic planetal temperature patterns, this probably won't occur for 5,000-10,000 more years.... The Koreans will most likely wait until a proper land bridge forms, and then start the mass exodus.

Yeah the suspense is killing me... Somebody spill the beans.

Things I recommend you keep in your car for POV runs: -reeses peanut butter cups (5 king packs) -3 musketeers bars (10) -2 large bags peanut butter m&ms -1 pack of chips o'hoy (chewy of course) -1 pack double stuffed oreos -snickers (5) -cell phone and car charger -a good iron and a...

I wouldn't post this publicly.... PM'ing it to someone is one thing, but moto statements are very personal.... Not only does it open you up to people copying it and using it (doubtful, but possible), but it includes a lot of identifying info. Nothing wrong with it per se, but you are hanging...

Laptop batteries have come a long way... Must charge it at the squadron during the day... At night you're all set... You park next to a starbucks when you get off for the day... steal the internets, and repeat the next day...:D

That is because when you live in one of these: You don't have any of these: :D

Well, I'm glad we got this debate solved...... I say GOOD DAY.

Dude... Not fair at all... I begged my parents for a Jeep big wheels but never got one....

Exactly correct.... Even if you were to design a PC made for gaming, and compare it with a cheaper mac, the PC would still be cheaper.... Trust me, i've done it. Your mac is like a $9000 pair of 'Gucci' shoes. Yeah you are in the 'in' crowd for owning them... They probably look really good...

Incorrect, fallacious argument, and Incorrect. Oh, and anyone that has Linux on their PS3 needs to get out more.:sleep_125

Go out and get Call of Duty 4 or any newer title and try to play it on that 2003 laptop of yours and then get back to me... And as far as the Dell is concerned, I'm not going to stick up for them, because they are only one of several mainline computer manufacturers, but a lot of people don't...

Exactly my point. Macs are sleek... But I don't need my laptop to be aerodynamic. I think it depends a lot on your objective... In many instances, a customized, $700 PC can accomplish the same tasks a $2000 Mac can. This is my biggest problem... You spend $2000-$4000 on a high end...

A Wolfenstein Movie?? Brilliant... One of the best video games ever made (both the old and new). +1 And for all the QT haters... I agree... He seems like a weasel, but you've got to give him his due credit. If Pulp Fiction didn't cut it, how about Reservoir Dogs?

Ahh yes... Sipping on your double chai white choclate mochalatte and reading the New York Times i'd imagine.... :D

But, I digress... I much prefer a PC to anything mac... I like PCs because everything is modular and non-proprietary. Upgrading is easy and cost effective. Inexpensive parts are widely available and at a fraction of the cost of their Apple counterparts. PCs are certainly less user...

Yeah, go tell that to this guy.

Yeah, what they said. Also, you should've had your sh*t together and had your PPL WAYYY before this. Now, my taxes are going to have to pay to catch your uneducated a$$ up to speed. Way to go on that one. Preparedness... It's one of the 15 officer traits. Google it. :icon_smil Oh...

So you turned to sacrificing your manhood!? Pretty unsat.... CANDIDATE. :icon_wink

I thought the only people that used macs were tree hugging, green peace lovin' uber-liberal yuppies! Please gentlemen, explain to me how you came about purchasing one of these hip, 'designer' computers...... :D

I don't even want to venture a guess as to what he spent on all of those panels/switches. I think he's got a couple MFDs up there too..... What happened to spending your allowance money on knives, bb guns and water pistols?

I'm with FLYTPAY on this one. Was probably swamp gas from a weather balloon trapped in a thermal pocket that reflected the sound from Venus. Or maybe your neighbor fired off a round or two.

Pardon my lack of knowledges about academy policy, but why aren't academy folks allowed to go to Bremerton?

You made that way too easy on him... Should've showed him how to search for it.

Everett isn't the only WA port ya know... What about Bremerton? It's only a 30 minute ferry ride away from Seattle.

Reminds me of NAV class in OCS. I called them 'boats', and our SWO teacher corrected me. I then called them 'vessels', then I got the fifth degree.

Riddle me this batman... If you are sitting there with a line out, enjoying the peace and serenity that is fishing, how in the hell do you not see/hear a NAVY destroyer steaming towards you?

You guys have been getting 2.99%? Man, you must have AWFUL credit, I have 1.99%. What a bunch of sh*tbags... Pay your bills gentelmen. ;)
