Weak Sauce. Search and you will find this topic covered already in a previous and VERY current thread: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144998&highlight=ball+park

HD, on the Marine side of things is there any uproar about the F-35 not having a gun? I assume a big part of the F-35B mission will be for CAS, it seems having a gun would be advantageous. As I understand it there is a pod developed to add a gun to the aircraft, but was the lack of a built...

Remember selection is not only based on how many people at your unit are up for pilot, but also how many people graduating from the NROTC program nation wide are seeking that designator. Keep the grades up, prepare for the ASTB as best you can, and enjoy college.

Haven't you been paying attention... we have plenty of money to spend on F-35s, the treasury says we have nothing to worry about... and besides if we run out of money are good pal Bernake will just print off a few billion more.

If that is indeed an animation its pretty damn good. To me it looks like actual video footage.

When did you receive orders? Did you know when you commissioned that you were going to be hanging around for several months, or did you just sit around waiting for the word that you needed to be out in P'Cola at such-n-such date?

I know this topic gets beaten to death sometimes, but I am just trying to get a ball park (emphasis on BALL PARK) idea of how long its taking folks to class up for IFS. I commission in December, and Im trying to figure out if its worth it to stash at my ROTC unit in New Mexico or stash back...

Nice thing about Abotts chokers is the flap that sits between your neck and the buckle. That being said, it takes me about 12 tries to get the clasp closed. I feel like a 15 year old trying to deal with a bra for the first time. It's quite ridiculous.

I third. I bought mine for the previously mentioned HS-6 Dinning In. The other Mid on cruse bought a set from the Nex (Flying Cross). I could definitely notice a difference in quality. Similarly, I just received my SDBs from Abotts. LEAPS AND BOUNDS above the ones issued through NROTC and...

Don't count on it. Expect to find out earlier this year. I obviously can't guarantee anything, but all the gouge we are getting from Pensacola via the skipper is that everything is happening a little faster this year. Traditionally mid semester is when you find out, this year expect things to...

We got word, the same day we found out our designators incidentally, that Pensacola decided they wanted to get service selection notifications our as quickly as possible. That was about all we heard. This is new as of 2 weeks ago where they apparently hadn't even started the process (gouge I...

My roommate at I both picked up 1390 as well.

I dont think you have much to worry about regarding USNA. I know several people who applied, or were asked to apply to USNA that were prior enlisted. USNA sets aside several spots for prior enlisted folks, and while its not a sure shot, several folks I know were essentially told "if you apply...

Also keep in mind that with the current need for officers in the US Army, cross commissioning is going to be that much harder.

Just don't be a history major. You cant be a pilot if you are a history major. Something about history majors being too awesome or something like that.

That being said, the Dining Out I went to even the academy grads were wearing chokers. My 'experience' only counts so much though, because I've only been to one proper Dining Out. I will say it was remarkably like the ones we've had here at the UNM NROTC unit, just a little more out of...

I had the pleasure of joining HS-6 for their dining out this summer. No covers requested, and we went down town SD afterward. No covers means no covers at all usually.

If you end up coming up to Albuquerque let me know, Ill take you to the good restaurants and show you the good bars.

This might be a stupid question, but I'll risk asking it anyway for the sake of clarity: The 20 UH-1Y / AH-1Z line item, I assume this is for USMC? If that is the case I have to assume NAVAIR is somewhat responsible for USMC procurement of aircraft? Is this correct? (similar question for the...

For trouble shooting: I'm using Firefox 3.03 on Vista. Going to try it in other browsers. UPDATE: Tried it in Safari for Windows. Still a problem.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the pictures to load? I get the popup but no picture.

I had a retention strap on it but it just made me feel uncomfortable. I bought my shoulder holster to wear when I wore a suit to the office. It may have been the particular holster, but it just never felt secure.

Ive had problems with a horizontal not fitting well and feeling like my gun was going to fall out. I NEVER like that feeling so I recommend trying to find a vertical that you like.

I get the impression that he is a STA-21 not an OCSer. Could be wrong, just my guess.

Of the past 2 threads Ive viewed... one was talking about porn, the other farts... And they say Naval Aviation is full of immature kids....

No integrated iPod interface?! I'm not impressed.

If she wants JAG she would likely have to pay for her 4 year undergraduate degree and then apply for JAG once being accepted to Law School. I think there are schollarships available, but not for HS graduates.

Probably has a lot to do with the unit. Not trying to discount NROTC, I love the guys in my unit, but I have heard from a lot of mids that don't necessarily enjoy their unit. It seems that fun schools that have good community have good NROTC units with good community. Picking a school is...

Thats an awesome picture Pags.... one of the best Ive seen with aviators in AWGs.

If I remember correctly they added a writing portion. As in you have to write an essay. Either way total of 2400 points now.

Stalk did a good job of relating a key point. This has to be something that she is interested in, and in my opinion not just to see if she can do it. I have seen so many mids attrite because they just didn't want to be officers bad enough, or at all. They started the program because they were...

We also might propose that black shoes not be authorized for wear with this uniform. http://buperscd.technology.navy.mil/bup_updt/508/unireg/Chapter3/Officers/om_19_WK_Aviation.htm

So is this still going to be the CubiCat or is it going to be the Kingsville Cat?

I always recommend HK if you can afford them, if not S&W has a new M&P pistols out that I have heard great things about. I haven't got my hands on one yet, but from everything I have heard they are at least worth a look. I would also recommend looking into a 1911. There about about a million...

Pete Mitchell isn't retired. He teaches at Top Gun and has to deal with hot shot female pilots.

Sorry to beat a dead horse but I'm just trying to get a handle on the situation considering it changes so often, and there is a lot of gouge out in the cloud: There was a past thread which discussed BAH, BAH II, and eventually Per Diem for the time new SNAs were in P'Cola for IFS and API. I...

If you ever make it up as far as Austin, McBrides will likely sell you the guns. Call a head of time to be sure but they are always really nice and they have pretty good prices, not the cheapest you will ever find but usually cheaper than anything at Cabellas, Bass Pro-Shop, etc

Ours, or is someone else pushing this issue?

Serviec Dress Khaki I was watching CSPAN yesterday an saw that ADM Mullen was wearing the new SDKs in a press confrence with the SECDEF. One of his aids was also wearing them. A buddy of mine doing NAPS indoc up in Newport saw a Sr Chief wearing them the other day, so my question is: when are...

I'll wait and catch it when it comes on TBS

Excellent!! I have to say I'm a bit surprised how far it's come. Especially considering that it started as a shot in the dark idea in the chat. I think its safe to say that IF AWGs are saved it will be largely due to MB's efforts. Whether his motivation was to save a good looking uniform or...

Use the search function... best advice for this site.

I'm not on any selection board so I can't give you a for sure answer, but all the information I have received echoes Skillz post. I was under the impression that 4/5/4 was the min for 1390. It might be 4/4/4, but Im almost positive 3's are not qualifying. Also with just shy of a 3.0 you might...

In complete seriousness, what are the reasons behind the prohibition of women serving in the submarine service? The explanation I had always heard was a lack of facilities, but then posed the question to one of our STA-21 sub guys who said that was not the reason. I was unable to get a clear...

Agreed. Its nice that it shoots the same ammo as the Mosin.

For the record I think its rude of you to post things like this when I am not in a position to acquire them. Especially the Dragunov. Would you take an IOU for a first born?

I don't disagree with anything in your last post. I know of the unreliably of the militia in both the Revolution and 1812, but I think where you and I disagree is the original intent of the 2nd Amendment when it was authored. I strongly believe the original purpose of the 2nd was to provide...

I'm sorry you feel that way... I respectfully disagree.

I dont disagree, and was not "citing" Red Dawn as a reason for 2nd Amendment rights but rather to disagree with a previous post that an armed populace can not hope to resist a tyrannical government who is backed by an industrialized military force. I strongly believe that an armed populace was...
