Well, I have the answer to my question. I got reponse from a very helpful LT from NROTC Houston. He said that if I transfered to U of Houston (main campus) I would have to transfer in as a first semester Sophmore to enter the college program and maintain a 2.5 GPA. Which fine, as long as I get a...

That is what I am thinking, too. My AQR/PFAR/FOFAR scores are great, but my OAR needs to be higher. (7/9/7 51) So we will see, still no response from Houston.

What frustrated me about memogate, was that after a week everyone dropped it. It should have been beat to death, a powerful news organization manipulating the news. It doesn't get much worse than that. Another thing that frustrated me was how no one brought up or talked about Kerry's senate...

I'd agree with that. However, given the extenuating circumstances this should not be beat to death. The Marines are doing the right thing by setting up an inquiry into the the incident. Time and again, police officers who shoot and kill unarmed suspects, who they believed are armed and/or...

Sorry, didn't mean to make you blush. I didn't know an evil conservative could make a liberal blush. :icon_wink What would the world be without ideals? But one would argue that it should be indirectly. Not directly, say, as in William Randolph Hearst and his fanning the flames that ignited...

No. Ninja vanish, then attack when least expected. I am not saying that you are a Ninja b*tch; I am saying that a girl I knew was a ninja b*tch. I don't know you, but you seem cool. Let me guess, you work for the Clinton News Network? Atlanta Journal Constitution? Okay let me ask you...

I have already contacted a recruiter and I have taken the ASTB. Right now my chances for OCS are slim to none, so I want to exhaust all my options while I still can before I put all my eggs into one basket so to speak. That is why I asked my question. I sent an email to the Houston NROTC...

Did you send those poor boys dirty pictures? :icon_wink

Hi Cate. I had a big thing for a Kate once, but she was a ninja b*tch to me 90% of the time. The thing is, the Marine had been wounded the day before according to a report I read and that the "insurgents" had been using dead bodies to plant IEDs and had been pretending to be wounded or dead...

Your not the only one.

Congrat's!

What the f*ck did I get myself into?!

"Roger, Roger" "What's your vector, Victor?" "Call for clearance, Clairence." That is a great movie.

Will do thanks, again!

El Cid, I believe it just recently came out, so it is still in hard back. The Battle of Samar took place during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, when Kurita's Center Force broke out into the staging area for the invasion. The only thing that saved the invasion was the Tin Cans Hoel, Johnston...

Thanks of the info! I must have been misinformed on how the NROTC program works, I thought you had to have a scholarship or be in the college program to get a commision through NROTC. So if I transfered to the Univeristy of Houston (cross-town affiliated with Rice's NROTC unit) joined the...

Man, those guys are heros! The captain of the Johnston, I think it was, standing on the fantail mortally wound, shouting orders to the aft steering rooom because the bridge was out of action. That is courage and heroism in the face of overwelming forces and forced that superior force to stand off.

I understand and I am willing to do what ever it takes. Right now my college GPA is not too hot. It is a 2.1 right know, because of motivational problems that I had when I started college not mention I had to retake a couple of math classes to advance in my program and SFA averages your the...

El Cid, my book is pre-2001. RADM McVay, married the Hawaiian princess, right? I thought that was a very interesting trivial fact.

I have to physics and calc anyways (physics major). How competitive is the the 2 year scholarship? Thanks for your help.

I have a question about NROTC. My college doesn't have a NROTC program, the nearest is three hours driving time away. I am classified as a junior, but I have two years of school left. Could I transfer to a school that has a NROTC program and meet the requirements to get a commission with two...

Man that was a moving book, what was equally tragic is what happened to Captian McVay, the CO. By an act of Congress a few years ago the court martial was expunged from his record, thanks to the efforts of a twelve year old boy. The same thing happened to the crew of the heavy cruiser...

i got this in a department email and thought I should pass iit on. It's a cool video nonetheless, even though the descriptor of it is fubared.

hahahahahahahahaha, that was funny.

I wonder if it fights as good as it flies? Have a look see: http://www.m90.org/view_image.php?image_id=428

Study the gouge from this site and get the ARCO study guide. Those will prepare you what to expect on the test. When I took the ASTB before the switch to the electronic version, the gouge was almost identical to the the test. However, I can not vouch for the current test. Best bet is to...

Damn Skippy!

Yeah, that's about how I felt too. He even applied for 2007 slot, which is what I am going for. Besides GPA (lower) my stats are very similar to Godspeed's. Oh well, going to apply anyway. Maybe things will change in the next eight monthsm, who knows.

That is awesome!

Just out of curiosity, what are grounds for being denied a security clearance? I know that felonies and the like are auromatic, but what else?

I met Britisher that was in the Legion, he is one tough mother. He said that the Legion is shock troops that go in when it is too dangerous for the regulars. He also said that FFL would give you a complete new identity if you wanted or needed one to escape a previous life.

Tough luck dude! You'll get in, so keep the faith amigo! Was that your first app? Reapp, reapp, reapp, that is what I plan to do, persistance does payoff. Hell, I know that I will get shot down on my first and probably my second app, but that the third and fourth time is what I am banking...

Man that is just ****ed up. Bastards probably killed him. God rest his soul.

You bet I will, I am getting LORs from my store's co-manager, my assistant manager, my previous boss, in addition to two profs, a ret. AF colonel, and city mayor (who runs our airshow, which I have over a 130 hrs volunteer time in as hotel coordinator and go-fer).

Man, that is really good statement. As a Republican and as an "evil" conservative I could not agree more.

Nope, I'd send his ass away to have much info squeezed from him as possible, then we'll talk about pulling the trigger. I think the rest of his natural life spent in Gitmo, being forced to listen to Barbara Stiesand and Kenny G cds 24/7/365 sounds appriate, after the first week he'll be...

I have read an account of Cat shots from with little relative wind and anchored in the bay. In Feet Wet by retired Admiral Gillcrist he talks about launching the entire air group off the Saratoga with little relative wind and anchored in the bay of Piraeus, Italy. Of course the aircraft had...

Economic Left/Right: 5.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.05

You know, people in glass towers shouldn't throw stones. Sorry couldn't resist the lame pun. Clinton, as Sec General of the UN, he might actually return some honesty and integrety to that institution. For me to that says a lot about what I think of the UN.

I have gotten to fly one of those beasts, in fact the bird I flew had traps on the Lexington in it's log. Letme tell you it is noisy it as hell, but a joy stick and rudder.

Shingo, you will need to take the ASTB, that is the test that all Navy officer applicants take. You could use the ARCO Military Flight Aptitude Tests study guide, I picked my copy up from Amazon. The 5th editon, that is the one that I have, was published in 2002 and has 3 F-16s in formation...

When I took it in March, my OSO told me it was good for life. I am no where near ready to apply (I need to have PRK), but I wanted to take before I the new test came down the pipe. Best of luck to you all!

The gull wing also had some other unintended side effects. And, as a by product of the gull wing design, the wing also improved the aerodynamics of the intersection where the wing attaches to the fuselage, boosting the top speed of the aircraft. The wing design, also, produced a wicked stall...

Bunk, that quote that I quoted was from The Naval Air War in Vietnam, second edition, by Peter Mersky. My source could be wrong, so I will see if I can dig the circumstances out of a another book that I have packed away somewhere. But really, all that matters is he killed one of the North's...

You have a point and it is hardly surprising that it was so lopsided.

Just like thousands of people are called for polls, but how many actually participate? Usually, a sample that polling companies use is about 1,000 respondents with a margin of error +/-4%. The larger the polling sample the more accurate the poll. Take it how you will.

I hope to know what you mean, then. But not find out the hard way.
