I have read several times here on AW that new 0-1 (1390) who were formally Midshipmen were not authorized a PCS move. Right now our admin guy is trying to get me transfered out to NASP and was told that there is no reason that new 1390 should not recieve compensation or full PCS move benefits...

Good thing to be concerned about but if you are in a position to buy right now, you have the potential to make out like a bandit. Interest rates are EXTREMELY low right now, and though there is a shortage of liquidity (also the reason for the low interest rate), you could find a smoking deal on...

I was actually going to mention that... who is it that they are making fun of in the beginning, the RAAF? BTW I enjoyed it, a little long, but still good.

Registration is the first step in confiscation. Gun control isn't about guns, it's about control.

Something like this?

nittany03 said it best:

I guess I'm still a little confused as to how this is 'fear mongering' and how words are being twisted. The author cited in the OP might be a little over concerned about the possibility of a ban but it doesn't change the fact that HR 1022 was dropped in the last congress and is likely to be...

...and I mentioned just that. You originally asked if a list existed, I provided you proof that the list the OP referred to did in fact exist. HR1022 has been dropped in several forms several times since the '94 ban sunset. HR1022 itself has no major cosponsors, aside from maybe Abercrombie...

Hey college boy... 33 minutes ago I posted a direct link to the proposed list. Not saying that it WILL pass, but the list exists.

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:H.R.1022: EDIT: Just looked through some more information on this bill. 36 days after it was dropped it was held in committee and never had any other action taken on it. It was never sent to the Floor for a vote. Translation: thats good news for 2nd...

You and the rest of the country: http://www.gallup.com/poll/108010/Bush-Congress-Supreme-Court-Near-Historical-Low-Approval.aspx 19% approval rating in June of last year. Made the POTUS approval rating look stellar.

No, valid serial number would suffice. Remember you could buy AR-15s during the ban. They just didn't have a flash suppressor or bayonet lug. Functionally they were exactly the same weapon.

'Assault Weapons' manufactured and in the supply chain before the 1994 AWB went into effect were grandfathered in. During the ban listings for AR-15s would specify 'pre-ban', same with magazines etc.

You can count on an anti-2nd amendment cabinet that is for certain. You can probably count on some serious rhetoric from Feinstein, Pelosi, Kerry, and company. I have no doubt HR 1022 will be dropped again, under a different number, but language nearly identical or even more restricting. That...

A buddy of mine was telling me something similar. I thought it would be good to have a star come down there and tell the first yo-yo he found in muster with black shoes he was being redesignated 1110 unless he/she got brown shoes on their feet within 5 min. Maybe 5 min is a little long though...

The article mentions he has been dropping this bill since '01

They need to be educated on the History. SNAs brought brown shoes to naval aviation. Tell them that and then kick them in the balls.

It's been said a million times on the forums that USNA types go through IFS up in Annapolis, but I couldn't find anything that specifically answered the following: As mids USNA guys go though IFS sometimes during their firstie year if there is room in their schedule etc. but if you don't get...

Fixed.

Thats what I would imagine a Russian Bob Dylan to sound like.

Is there any reason why VFA-22 did it and VFA-81 is going to do it?

Cartel? I thought that was Bevo's gun collection. I have to admit I am jealous of the 4 or more Barrett's they have.

why would you get military creases put in? The poly/wools have perma creases.

This is the polyester cover not the vinyl correct? I dont think the vinyl can be cleaned passed a bleach pen and some hand scrubbing. So says my friends from the boat school. I dont have any experience with the vinyl.

I have an M&P in .223 and absolutely love it. Cant speak to the 5.45

I dont understand why people like this movie so much. Dont get me wrong. I loved this movie as a kid, and still love it today, but I am just surprised that everyone else thinks so highly of it. I was ridiculed as a kid when in the Boy Scouts we stayed aboard the Blue Ghost in corpus and they...

You would probably be competitive with a 3.0 or higher but they could be using a quality spread to fill slots. I believe this year they used something which resembled a quality spread. Additionally I know for a fact that this year there were several folks who were not selected for aviation...

Well if you can find a way to double up 6 times you could buy a nice M1A. Just think about it that way.

Or change his last name to Valdez. The possibilities are really endless.

Unfortunately if the AWGs dont get passed the 3 star, I doubt SECNAV will try to resurrect them. Although you never know he could be one of the 18 people in the world who know they even exist.

Remember that John Lehman was only in the Naval Reserve and yet turned out to be a very strong SECNAVY. *I say not to discount his experience but only because it appears he was never fully active duty, during his time in the reserve he was working for UBS and Abington

<----- MID commissioning in 3 days. Trying to figure things out and display the least amount of idiocy possible.

Does this mean that these folks cant be promoted past LT? because that is certainly how it reads to me.

@ea6bflyr.... and all you other naysayers.... Those who dont see the utility and obvious necessity for this accessory will be the first to have your brains eaten during the first hours of the inevitable rise of the dead. For those of you who are about to purchase this fine accessory...

Vapes, These folks might be able to help you out as well: http://www.house.gov/hasc/list_of_members.shtml Side question: The effective way to get an issue like this addressed would be to start lobbying the Congress through letters, etc. But as a Naval Officer is this inappropriate? To my...

I know that coming from a MID it probably means even less than coming from an SNA, but in the interest of being objective and with regards to the BAS issue: It would seem to me that pointing out any disparity between P-3 and Tailhook should serve only to illustrate that some folks are having to...

My roommate here got orders today. There is a problem with my physical, some sheet never made it to P'Cola and now that they have it the hold up is caused by a delay in it being reviewed. Im expecting orders soon though. Jon did you request a late date or did you request an early date? How...

Im in the same boat. Im expecting 30 Jan but no orders cut yet.

You're expecting the 23rd right?

Im a little behind on the count but does that make 2 MOH for this campaign? I remember a SEAL received one, and this Marine, but were there any others that I missed?

I know the following question get asked and addressed from time to time, often to the point of over-addressing them, but I keep getting conflicting gouge and wanted to find out what the CURRENT situation was: So I am tentatively scheduled to head to NASP on 30 Jan (havent seen my orders yet but...

Several people already addressed this earlier in the thread.

By this do you mean that if the day of the month is divisible by 5? Because if so I would like to meet the person that somehow pulled of a birthday on the 35th of the month.

A lot like that, without the continued threat of VD.

They might have kicked it back because the board, like myself, knows that OU prematurely paid off the BCS people and bought their way into number 2. Just a thought.

Sorry to rain on your parade but there are no nuke slots available right now. So many people wanted nuke that they are taking qualified applicants and putting them in aviation.

I see your point now, thanks for clarifying.

So wait 5 years and bring it up again... just like the brown shoes.

Im not so scared of dry firing that I wont do it, HOWEVER I'm also not one to think that it cant be bad just because the military does it during boot camp, or ever for that matter. I dont know how knowledgeable the average Navy Sailor is regarding firearms. Most of the people who chime in here...

Fixed it for you MB. (Unless there was news that I didnt hear about that point paper)
