http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/2007/06/yee-ha.html Corny and Cheesy, but I thought it was worth posting.

Except for the DOD network everything else seemed to be pretty spot on. To me it felt like they actually listened to their military advisors when then wrote the script.

Possibly in the sequel. For those of you who haven't seen it make sure to stick around during the credits for a teaser.

I saw it last night and I am still recovering from the face melting experience. Also I saw it at the Alamo Draft House where right after the movie Robosaurus destroyed two cars. Two face meltings for the price of one.

With regard to the age waivers, I believe that these waivers are easily obtained and approved for prior enlisted folks going URL as well as the WO program. We have a couple of guys in STA-21 who are above, or will be above the age and none of them are really worried about getting a flight contract.

No you do not need a college degree. You must have an Associates at least. That being said I'm sure there are enough enlisted folks out there with BS/BA degrees that only having and Associates might put you in a poor position for selection. The age requirement for the Warrant program is the...

I dont think it would be. We have some PLCers at my unit that hang out with us from time to time. Granted we are a Navy/MC unit, but if there isnt an NROTC unit around the next best thing would be Army or AF.

Why are you getting rid of it? If you dont mind my asking.

Obviously Webb is making a political move here, and it seems to me that his political move could restrain our ability to provide an effective fighting force when and where its needed.

I was going to bring this up as well. The USAF has been trying to kill the A-10 for years now. The hypothesis that I always heard thrown around was that the brass didnt like it because it wasn't hightech sexy enough for them. They wanted a new plane with lots of tech. But to me the problem...

Sounds good... but how would he ensure the proper force levels for our LD/HD forces such as those in the SpecWar community?

Are you talking about Survivorman or Man v Wild?

Do all ex-SEALs posses this guys level of douchebaggary or is he an exception?

Without seeing it, Im glad that the new Rambo is not going to be like the new Die Hard and going for a PG-13 rating.

which means the movie is going to be about an hour and half of the Omaha beach scene from Saving Private Ryan

As if we dont already have enough MO's and MECPS in our unit.

Love it.

Did anything specific happen when the problem began, or did you just hit the one day to find this attitude problem?

Im by no means an expert but this is the way I see it: ATG is a private company fielding a product for private consumption. They dont have to go through all of the tests, red tape, and congressional approvals that a military jet has to go through. Drives overall cost down. The ATG is not...

(slight threadjack, apologies in advance) Speaking of getting married, does anyone know of any official instructions on military weddings? Ive searched the internet and found some good material, but none of it official. Our unit also has a copy of NAVAL CEREMONIES, CUSTOMS, AND TRADITIONS...

Depends on the state. No one can have a gun past the federal TSA security zone, however in Texas the airport is municipal property and no municipality is allowed to restrict CCW carriers on public land (except court houses, polling places on the day of an election, etc.) So you can carry into...

Normally I would agree with you, but the quote was taken from the article posted by Flash. Regardless though its just ridiculous that they can interfere with defense assets, and then when they try to do it again and are stopped they get there feelings all hurt. It just makes NO SENSE. I feel...

I just don't understand what reality these people live in sometimes. In what society is it okay for you to be an aggressor but when you receive resistance call it unfair?

Thanks Gator and Bubba. That at least gets me in the right direction as far as what to expect.

Thats what I figured... I find it strange though because according to the pay tables here it looks like the Gov would be spending significantly more money for 3 to 6 months in Austin Tx rather than just giving out the BAH. Or am I reading it wrong?

How do you determine if you have a permanent duty station? For example right after I commission I will most likely elect to stay assigned to my ROTC unit while I wait to class up for API. Is there a way to determine if I will be TAD or Permanent?

I recently came into possession of a document which was given to my great grandmother from my grandfather around the time he received his Wings of Gold. At the top is a picture of a pilot standing on what looks to be a Hellcat. Just below the picture is written: A Navy Flyer's Creed I am a...

I thought there were rules against things such as this since the Sullivan Brothers in WWII. Granted they were brothers, but I was under the impression that family members could not serve in the same unit.

Even if they are hand guns you can do this. I have my CHL and carry generally everywhere its legal. I carry a hand gun on most every flight I take. just call ahead of time and let them know.

If your not willing to make the drive you could always fly them.

I guess my motive is more not trying to deconstruct it, game it, or otherwise try to beat the system. Im taking all of the advice I read here to heart. I used to be terrified of API, then I wondered if I would get any sleep at all during primary. After being here for just a few months I have...

The key here is do not have them shipped directly to you. When you go to the FFL in Texas you will have to fill out the yellow form again and have them transfered to you all over again. Just as though you were buying them.

Before I ask my questions I would like to thank everyone for contributing to this post. I'm sure once I commission a lot of this will make even more sense, but before this post I had no idea how SNAs were graded. So that said Ill get to my point. 1.) Can someone explain what the difference is...

Do they classify that as a safe or a locking gun cabinet. It looks like the latter to me.

It seems that the civilian leadership at least thinks so. With Naval/Marine officers in the CJCS VCJCS, and in several high profile Unified Commands, the Navy/Marine Corps seem to be running the show for the time being.

I heard you automatically get Jets...

It was the USS Iowa, and it was because of this rejection that I was not surprised when this thread was started. In fact I am more surprised that SF still has a fleet week. I had figured SF had already put an end to that. Im sure its not far off.

Thats probably how he got to be the CNO however. (Being a work-a-holic) not saying its good or bad, but those senior know that he will get his work done.

Ridiculous for sure, but in the end if they dot want the money that it brings in then why press the issue.

Most any organized sport is going to be what they are looking for. Something team oriented. It has little to do with the actual sport, and more to do with team work.

Carrier is one of his non-fiction works. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?isbn=0425166821&z=y

Could it have had something to do with LBJ wanting to get us into the Arab-Israeli war in a similar fashion as the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

Absolutely. That way you know what you are getting. Trying to get news thats purely objective is impossible. The writer is going to interject their opinion on the matter regardless of how impartial they try to remain. Simply by omitting certain details they have judged what the reader needs...

The above is all good advice as far as getting into the program. You mentioned your ASVAB but unless you dont take the ACT the ASVAB is not going to weigh as much as an SAT or ACT. Youre going to need them to get into school anyway so spend some time making sure those grades are high...

I dont understand why we cant go back to the good ol' days when newspapers were openly Pro-Republican or Pro-Federalist or Pro-(insert party name) As for Pelosi needing a new air craft, I find it hard to believe that any terrorist would want to harm her... she is the best thing that could have...

Just a guess, but they might be using AIM express which is a web based version of the AIM application.

Does anyone know if the the DDGs are using the new ERGM Rounds on a regular basis yet? and if this was infact one of them?

On the one hand I agree with you, she lost a son and regardless of her views on the war or anything else for that matter her loss should not be made light of. That said, I do believe she used her sons death for personal gain and to further an agenda. The situation reminds me of Lance Armstrong...
