Its been hammered into the ground at this point, but I disagree that IED's and Rocket Propelled grenades are the only thing the insurgency is using to cause problems for our industrialized force on the ground. Those weapons get a great deal of attention because of how effective they are but...

Not sure exactly where this belonged but I figured gouge was as good a place as any... I'm reporting to HS-6 in a couple of weeks and just wanted to find out if there were and AW.com members who are HS-6ers that could give a little gouge about what to expect for my 1/c Mid cruise. I head out...

A damn good one at that.... More of a joke than anything... but something to think about no less. I can remember several times on gun forums seeing the argument 'times have changed, guns can't defend against tanks, the 2nd amendment is therefore outdated'. The inevitable response was always...

Don't be so naive. Familiarize yourself with the following: 1.) Red Dawn 2.) The current insurgency in Iraq 3.) The current situation in Afghanistan 4.) The Soviet experience in Afghanistan Insurgent movements with light arms can be extremely effective against a modern mechanized army. They...

I can only hope there are enough votes in favor of the 2nd Amendment such that Scalia would be allowed to write the opinion. If its a 5 to 4 with the number 5 being on the fence, Scalia is likely not going to be writing the opinion rather it is the fence sitter who gets that honor. It also...

You could always try and find a study for medication. I got mine out a few years back and got paid 600 bucks.

Wow. Thats pretty much amazing.

Regarding the anyone do it qustion... In New Mexico we have open carry (but not in Texas, its a shame really) and does not require a license, Concealed requires a license. I have my CHL (Texas licensed with reciprocity in NM) and from time to time Ill carry my HK USP 45 on a paddle holster...

I wasn't expecting the answer to be 'yes'. I was expecting that it is generally not done, but I didn't know for sure. Hence the question.

So I know there are options available for flying space available, but is there any possibility of sailing Space Available? For instance if you wanted to go to say... Australia, and you know a ship is heading there, can you hitch a ride?

Someone hit on an important point earlier that I think gets over looked a lot. It had to do with pay. Remember that a lot of Mids at NROTC units are holding down outside jobs and have to juggle their ROTC responsibilities with their obligations and commitments to their civilian employers...

I think in this case you are misinterpreting the purpose of summer cruise. From my perspective its not to get you to a position where you can run a division, its to put you in a position to understand how a division/squadron/etc is run. CORTRAMID certainly is a good time (so I hear, I opted...

I think he was referring to the significance it has for USNA grads.

We had the the discussion of "To OCS or not OCS" in my Senior Naval Science class about a week ago. The skipper (a fairly senior O-6) who has worked for the JCS and who participated in discussions regarding sending Navy Mids to OCS said it mainly comes down to money. There just isn't enough...

I wonder how this would affect advancement. Ive been told that if you take time to go and get a masters degree (I think they call it "in residence"? maybe Im wrong) it can really hurt your ability to advance, especially for pilots.

I might not understand the tax code well enough, especially as it pertains to deductions, but if you are calling this sort of thing "travel" for tax purposes wouldn't you only get a percentage of the expense back? Example: If your effective taxable rate is 19% and you are spending $751.25 per...

No experience with being over seas and using VOIP tech. Not Japan at least. I talk to friends of mine who are in London over Skype often enough, sounds great... can be better than my cell phone depending on network traffic. Skype also has a phone from NetGear...

Are you referring to this?

It appears I was wrong. I had gotten my information from an active duty Marine here at my unit who has been to Iraq. Granted not a JAG, but I gave the gouge credibility. My mistake.

Its surprising that they would rather sink some of these ships than recycle them. For nostalgia and economics.

I wants one.

Could be mission specific. As I understand you are not allowed to shoot AT a person with a .50 cal machine gun, or there are limitations, just as there are limitations regarding what ammo you can shoot. If they are not expected to engage vehicles, might be something the JAG required...

I really, really, really, want this to be a joke....REALLY.

2nd Thread resurrection The new iPhone software is going to be liquid sex. Push eMail, push contacts, calender events, Microsoft Exchange support. Liquid Sex.

Jerry Miculek... man or god?

Is the graduate degree a type of Law Degree? Do you already have a JD?

I just found a print out of my scores. The letter head says NAMI. That might help you out... it might not.

I haven't been following this thread very closely but I did see this video today on CNN. Didn't see it posted. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/03/08/mccintyre.pelosi.mccain.tanker.cnn?iref=videosearch

You may also want to look up the regulations regarding LASIK for SNAs. It will save you a great deal of heart ache latter on down the road.

It's rude that you started without us.

Thomas Jefferson would be pissed.

From what I have heard NUPOC comes and goes a bit more frequently than BDCP. BDCP being a bit more established. We have an LT here that commissioned through NUPOC he got picked up for it, and the next semester they had stopped the program. He said that NUPOC gets activated when they cant pull...

Good to see that he isnt taking no for an answer though.

I wonder where anyone would get that impression... boggles the mind.

Well lucky for you LASIK isn't approved yet for Aviation candidates. But again I cant tell you for sure if you are going to get approved, but I have seen some people with pretty nasty vision make it through our unit.

There are several members on AW who will tell you that BDCP is still well alive. Did you talk to an enlisted recruiter or an officer recruiter?

As someone who applied to USNA more times than I care to count I second this, but for more selfish reasons. There are several kids out there who have wanted to go to USNA for a long time, they know what they are getting into, they know its going to be hard, and they are willing to commit to the...

We have some people who are nearly blind in my unit. A guy I will be commissioning with used to have 20/300 vision or worse. I dont know what his vision problems were with respect to diopters, but I would say that all hope is not lost. Do you intend to go aviation? Do you know if your...

I've seen them in my ROTC 'service' record. But thats the only place.

The San Antonio has steel from WTC as well. She also weathered Katrina before commissioning.

All of them?! At the same time? I definitely have a problem with that

Indeed <---- History Major

History majors do not qualify for SNA... sorry.

I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, but this is a starting point. Ill see if I can't dig up the exact quote which so was so appalling.

Can't wait to hear more about this.

Depends on the RL field. Nursing is specifically recruited for. We had an EOD officer come speak to us recently he mentioned that EOD is open to females.
