    Blues in Seattle this weekend (Aug 5-7)

    I was floating next to the I-90 bridge today, got some real good shots with my 400mm lens. I'll try and get them up here in the next few. I'm going to the MOF on saturday to get the Whole preflight/TO/Landing routine. Good times... Josh

    Pro rec question

    I never did I ask my OPO this, but does anyone know why you would not be pro rec'd? Assuming everything is straight with your package, why would someone not get it? I'm not trying to make this a 'what are my chances' type of thing, just wondering if anyone here happens to know. Thanks Guys...

    Eye sight question

    Not sure where to post so I'll post here. I have 20/40 near sight and 20/30 far sight. I have tested 20/20 for both before, but my question is, when I hear the cutoff line is 20/40 vision, is that for near or far sight? Either way I think I am ok, just wondering what the definition is for my own...

    Whats a typical day at OCS like?

    I'm just plain old curious as to what a typical 'work day' is like at OCS. Are the days pretty fast paced? Are you afforded any 'luxury time' to do what you please? I really don't know what a day is like and any input is appreciated. Cheers, Josh

    Vf-101

    I've heard rumors there may be a -101 crew doing a show in one of -32's birds. I've heard this from a few different sources. Can't say if there is any truth to it, but I would expect there will be at least a static tomcat or two.

    Run ins with the law

    I've searched around a few threads and couldn't quite find a clear answer, but I think no one may know this for sure. So anyways, I've got 4 tickets, explained them all on the application, and what I was wondering is if there were certain 'cutoffs' so to say at the boards, Will they only take a...

    Weight Limits

    I'm on the edge too. I'm waiting to send in my package until I hit the weight or body fat. I'm 6'3" 230 and I was told by my recruiter its 22% body fat for that height, but I'm at the top as far as height goes so I don't know what it is for shorter fellas.

    Taking the ASTB

    When I took the ASTB back in March, I took the electronic version and used the technique of eliminating weird answers right away. It seemed to work for me, and I was using a Cliff notes study guide that has the AFOQT, ASVAB and ASTB in it. I studied them all and wound up getting AQR-6, PFAR-8...

    side stiches (pains while exercising)

    Yea I know the physiology of it, which is pretty much your organs pulling down on the diaphragm which is why you get them typically. I'll try the overinhaling/exhaling trick. Its just a royal pain in the ass because I'll be cruising along and they hit and totally kill my endurance...

    side stiches (pains while exercising)

    I've been battling these for a long time, and have tried everything to beat them. Alternating my breathing pattern, exhaling at different strides, breathing short shallow breaths, everything. Has anyone had a problem with this and found a remedy to it? Josh
