All the numbers are out there as far as req's, max's allowables, etc... Best thing to do is talk to a USN Doc. You can sit here and discuss with other flight students/pro-rec's/whatever's and hear what their interpretation of the reg's are, but you might as well piss into the wind while your at...

I brought a T-45 up there, it was an awesome show. I thought the T-birds were a little weak, and they seemed to play some really gay music over the PA too, felt like I was in a techno club or something. The formation changes they make while in their over the top maneuvers are sweet though.

I can vouch I lived in the other building of this condo complex for nearly a year, truly awesome place with great neighbors.

It can't be any worse than the rose garden at pensacola. Every stray cat within 20 miles shits in that thing and everyone wondered why they were getting pink eye.

When I was in pensacola/whiting, me and my wso/nfo buddies would always hit the club for happy hour at NPA. They always had a keg and food until it ran out. We would play combat rules crud the whole time, and quite often there was alot of variation on dudes stopping on a X/C and they loved to...

I heard it is legit. If it is, he will never live it down, I think that's the best one I've seen hanging there since I got here in Feb.

...I put my pants on one leg at a time, the only difference is the pants that I put on help me fly a jet... Congratulations man :icon_zbee

Chappy is workin' on it as we speak. I wonder what the outcome would have been had it been a flight with U.S. mil/'gubment/whatever's on it? As Mcain once said, "Whats that Beach Boys Song? Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom-Iran..."

Could be, I would go with my XD45, Mossy shotgun and usually a .22 to plink with. Haven't shot my XD since I left there 8 months ago, ammo is getting steep for that one. /End threadjack

I always shot at Santa Rosa Sporting Clays in Pace off Quintette Rd when I was in VT-6, so did alot of the instructors. Pretty reasonable prices and decent facilities, pistol, rifle and of course shotty's. The sporting clay course was OK, I prefer outdoor ranges so the rifle/pistol suited me...

And I would not put it past a spirited SNA to 'spike' the pool with a foreign substance of some sort at a winging party when the device will be conducting ops :icon_smil

The only thing I would say, and coming from this O-1 it isnt much, I WOULD NOT enlist and count on getting picked up down the road, unless you truly just want to serve in which case +1 for you. I would just apply as many times as it takes, it took me 3 times and 1.5 years to finally get...

Well I am going on week 5 of a current wait time, I actually wouldn't mind something to do along those lines. I came to the realization that a 52-54 week pipeline for us was a pipe dream along long long time ago. Funny thing is, guys that selected around me from primary and went to meridian are...

I wish this thing would head west pummel kingsville. I dont wish any harm on people or property but it would be cool to see.

CNATRA boat det is out of Oceana right now, that T-45 is a part of it I am sure along with 15-20 others.

I think there were MAYBE two dudes who selected jet and wound up in the TH deal but I am not sure. The boards were held after mid FCLP I think, nobody went into anything phase II AFAIK.

There has been 2 selection boards in my squadron for the E2/C2 already in the last month for the AUG boat, so it is happening here.

Well I'm sure there will be people to volunteer for it, plus, I know there is at least one dedicated E2/C2 class behind me still, so there's still studs out there going down that road already.

Former VT-6'r, whiting was a blast. Can't speak for OK but I've been in S. Texas for a while now and staying in p'cola for primary was the right choice for me (i actually got to pick), there was just so much more to do there I thought, and MUCH better roads for riding if you own a motorcycle...

I know of a USMC CAPT Head, wait for it, wait for it....

+1 on that, also NY Nicks right across the street for sunday football beer and deep fried goodness.

I've been to everywhere I can think of but can't find the 'right' look. Macy's has a few close ones but they look slightly fag-ish. Short of a custom made deal, I guess I'm stuck with the cheap bates.

Since we're on the subject of the khaki uni, I have been looking for a really nice set of brown leather oxfords (real ones, not the bates lites), does anyone know who makes a good pair? I can't seem to find anybody that makes a non stylish version and just a plain oxford.

I always had the best luck with live shrimp. I lived right off gulf bch hwy on big lagoon and would wade the grass flats. It was almost guaranteed that there would be a ball of minnows/baitfish around and I would just work the bottom with the shrimp near them, nailed a red everytime. I also...

You can never go wrong with that, I have found that plan works no matter where you go, and as such it was the first thing I did the first night I went out when I got to south texas.:)

yep

Just noticed that. I think its 280 (from what I can tell anyway), got my first solo in that one!

VT-2, check the pic looking back from the nose, looks to be a french stud?

I've flew that particular T-34 twice in primary.

Search. There is/was an identical thread to this about a week ago. I was in the same position 2 years ago and took the NFO spot. I went to OCS as NFO, commisioned, and by some stroke of luck got switched in the middle of my API wait because the navy was short on pilots. I have two friends who...

Forward opening canopy? That looks slightly goofy. It does look like a tall jet though.

Just out of curiosity, do/can navy dudes go to SD and VMFAT for the hornet RAG? I really have no clue but i bet that would be a tits place to go if you could!

I'd be more than happy to help with any part of the construction if you need it, just let me know!

I echo BS with unless you have been there you won't quite understand, BUT I dont think anyone here is talking it up to anything more than it is. The name 'beating' is just what it has always been called and probably what it will always be called. As for physical 'interactions', I can think of 4...

You just keep going, 99% of it all is not quitting. The DI's know you cant do all that stuff perfect, they just want to see you put out 100% all the time. Its the quitters and sandbaggers that get singled out and usually roll. And I can say that with 100% certainty that we never did any 'normal'...

Beatings = mash = push = getting your ass handed to you via devil exercises. Alot of times all we ever heard was "push right now" "bear crawl right now" stuff like that. Just looked at all my pics from indoc and black saturday, its pretty funny now that I look back on it.

I do believe we were in the same API class, at least from your avatar you look like a guy who was in mine.

I know the first TH selection is supposed to come up in around August down here, but as for how it works our CO told us a while back he doesn't even know how its gonna work, and I havent heard any updates on it since. I'm sure as it gets closer it will all come out, and as for my class the...

Thanks for the info!!!!

Couldn't find an exact answer through a search. Are orders to the forward deployed airwing much sought after out of the RAG? I honestly don't know how the choosing of orders/SQD's goes at the RAG (dreamsheet style?), but I was curious how they are given out and if that particular CVW is a hard...

When I applied for OCS I put SNA 1st and NFO 2nd. My recruiter really was pushing for me to go NFO, I got pro rec'd for it but never was told yes or no for pilot so I took the FO spot, went through OCS, when I got to A-pool got called into the CO's office one day and got asked if I wanted to be...

Well go figure. I was told straight from the Doc down here that it was, maybe I shall research every bit of advice or info for myself in the future. :confused:

Just find a cool flight doc and ask. I wondered this same thing (not the piss test but what we are allowed to take) but was more curious about nutritional supp's, believe it or not Gatorade is prohibited because it is considered performance enhancing, but the 2 docs I have dealt with at NASK...

Prepare the best you can for the PT and in-PRT before you get there and you will be fine. You will more than likely be fatigued more than you ever have in your life the first week just because the schedule you will be on is nuts, so you might lose a little but the first week is all about showing...

I was stashed at the pool for 6 months during my API wait last spring, the instructors there did everything possible to get everybody through it. The only people I ever saw fail ANY swim evolution were those who QUIT swimming during the evolution, and mostly it seemed they started to panic and...

+1 on that. My examiner was a former SR-71 backseater, serious sh!t hot guy. My oral was a ball busting 3+hours and I knew my stuff cold too, yet the practical was barely 1.0. Afterwards he told me he only passes those he would trust to fly his grand kids around. A truly awesome guy.

Yes it does.

Not really man, unless you just feel the need to familiarize yourself with the books. I would memorize which bars were good each night. IIRC the Dock on PB had 5$ all you can drink on wednesdays, Coyote's by the mall had a decent ladies night with plenty 'o trim running around on thursdays...

+1 nice find, that was some funny stuff :icon_smil

It wasn't like we were running around crazy with these guys but maybe a total of 4 times in my 6 months there I would catch up with them at a bar for a beer or 4. Guess quite possibly it was frat, but wouldnt playing b-ball at the gym with them be as well? We never thought anything of it and...
