Swimming is the absolute best part of OCS. It's during the beginning phases and you get to be away from your DI and talk and laugh with the other people in your class.

As I said...people like you piss me off. You think you deserve something in life. You think you can screw up and screw up and screw up and then one day decide you've been a fuck up and change and everyone will forgive you. Well that's not how it works...people pay attention to the trend your...

Jesus...how many times are you going to say you're a Korean with a hard life? Get over it - nobody cares. And nobody cares that you can talk a good game about how you've changed and your dreams and how you believe you can do SO well in the military. The military knows what it wants - and...

I don't have any complaints for you...just thought you might like ONE post that wasn't bitching. I think the website is fantastic :) :)

Did someone hit you on that??? Jesus, you east coast guys.... ;)

Just go for a ride in the back???? None. They take passengers all over the place that have no training. The crewman just gives a "brief" prior to you getting on. You have no oxygen as a passenger - you just get a cranial and flotation. But if you do that...I recommend becoming friends with...

The PAR box pattern is at 1600'....so please watch out for the helos. We almost got taken out by t-34s a couple times.....

Oh how I miss it....

I can give you the helo version...but I'm thinking you don't want to be at 300'.... :) I may still have the base ops manual on my computer at home... I'll PM you if I can find it.

Stare down the barrel of OCS, huh :) You make it sound so daunting...

Not quite true. I went to an out of state public college and was denied in state tuition after joining BDCP. The reason they gave me was because I had started going to the college prior to being active duty so therefore my "orders" didn't send me to this state - I was already here. It may be...

Does it matter? You can't change it....so what's the difference how it will be viewed? Will it change your actions/approach?

She just panicked.... NOW she understands better what is going to happen. Remember when we all asked "does she understand how Navy life will be"?? Well this is it. The best thing for both of you is for you to follow your dreams and wants (otherwise you'll regret it the rest of your life)...

I think this is an easy one....you can do both in your lifetime. I had a similar decision to make when I joined the Navy back in college. And someone asked me, well can't you eventually do both? Yep, I could do the Navy thing now and if I wanted to I could do something else when I was done...

Yep, holidays definitely work. And Christmas is the easiest. You will always have off for Christmas. Plus if you do Christmas there is a good possibility you'll have off before/after as well so you can make the day a little more special by being a part of the preparation rather than just showing...

Oh please take the flying job. Let me offer this for you to chew over.... The military is a tougher life with marriage and setting priorities. Mainly because in the beginning you have little choice about where you go and what you do. The Navy sends you where you need to go and on their time...

The cure for that is to be a c-12 pilot apparently. I've been on this site 24/7 since I got back from leave. I'm glad you can still out-wit a 4 year old. LOL I guess I should have worded it differently...what will you do when she's 7 and you can't out-wit her anymore :icon_tong

Sounds like you've got it all worked out! ;) However, she's going to wise up to that "reward" eventually... then what will you do?? Little dare devil, huh :) Those are the best to hang out with!!

Ahhhh.....I didn't realize we were receiving a professional opinion :boring_12.... it's so hard to tell a person's qualificiations.... :irked_125

AHAHAHAHAHAHA....you're so witty! If only some day I could be like you!

LOL!! I actually heard that Aiye sound :) :) Just war wounds....they heal...

lol....all of the above are quality time. I'm all for your version, but then the dishes would never get done..... And maybe if the guy helped with the dishes.....sexual gymnastics would take place right there in the kitchen. You can make anything fun if done the right way!

That depends. I would have no problem with that if most everything was dishwasher safe, you didn't do it every single night, and you were making stuff that I really enjoyed. Perhaps you could both do them together....quality time....no? Wouldn't you earn major points with her if you did that?

Ahhhhh....now I understand. It wasn't so bad when I was watching it on the computer, but now that I have the sling catcher hooked up it's obvious I need to upgrade my parents internet. Most of this conversation went over my head the first time....but the info sure is helping now!!

Wisconsin love....I love it!!

Cooking is TOTALLY ok. Nothing better than a guy who can cook. I didn't say I considered it unmanly....just some do. I rather appreciate the emotion conveyed with smileys ;)

Yeah...I wasn't getting sarcastic at all..... Next time put in some smileys or wink faces :) I know some consider them un-manly....but just for the sake of better communication ;)

Iowa....NICE! I went to school in Iowa (also where I was recruited). Anyway, I'm not sure what the requirements are for paperwork. But I would bring copies of everything you have. If nothing else, just keep them in your car. But at least you have them readily available. You don't want to...

I wasn't saying he hadn't met stress. He already said he was hugely stressed in college. I was saying that the college experience and flight school are two different levels of stress, and if he was stressed going to college, he might have a rude awakening in flight school.

That's what I'd assume. Too bad I'm an HSC girl....I would take that!

You definitely should have started with the more manly stuff. Cuz now I have a picture of you in my head as super skinny, short and neat haircut, crosses your legs "girl style", and in general looks at something mechanical and scatches your head. Did you see Chuck Liddell on Dancing with the...

What were your undergrad/grad degrees in? You haven't met stress yet until you're in primary and every single thing you do is analyzed. You walk in every single day and go to a brief where you're quizzed quizzed quizzed. Then you jump in the plane and get graded on everything you do. And then...

Because you're more concerned with location and getting chicks than you are with the military and aviation and it's pissing him off (I'm guessing). Yes, location and lifestyle are important - they are to everyone, but that's not why you join. Stay focused on what's important here....

Wow, I can't believe that helo is just a part of a regular squadron. I assumed it would be dedicated strictly to the Admiral and be stationed and flown separately. Thanks for the info!

One of the four days a year the American Flag can be flown over Iwo Jima It only took a few e-mails with HeyJoe to get this to come out.... :irked_125

So there's a COMSEVENTHFLT helo spinning outside my window. Who are those guys (O-4)? How do you get that job?

I can't reveal my sources....

ahhhh...I took it to mean any squadron that had flown the h-2. Oh well....I had a good time at work today looking this stuff up!!! :)

I'm going with HSL-37

HS-13?? Sep 61-Oct 62

At some point...someone has to tell you the truth or you have to discover it yourself. 2.5 GPA? Really? How much drive and determination does that show? I'm sorry to be the downer here - but flight school is tough. They're looking for the best of the best (name that movie). There is...

Some people just aren't cut out to be a pilot. I'm not trying to be mean or discourage you. But in my opinion - it's a test that's designed to pick out the best people for the job. You can't say "well they didn't ask me that last time" and expect any sympathy. There's a reason they look for...

ok...I'm on it...standby (although you may be standing by for a while)

PM sent...perhaps too much info for the general public ;)

I drink diet pepsi....so there goes that theory....

Shit. Do I get half-credit?? Half a cookie?? Give me another one...I love trivia!!

Doesn't this guy have a secretary or an enlisted guy working for him? Otherwise suck it up and drive there unannounced. There's a chance he won't be there - but I used to just drop in on my recruiter all the time rather than call (I hate the phone). If nothing else I'd chat with whoever else...

http://promomagazine.com/entertainmentmarketing/marketing_high_flyer/ Coke sponsored the olympics and associated itself with athletes and medals, so pepsi decided to associate itself with badass pilots.

Oh shit! I assume maintenance was pretty pissed, huh? I drank soda all the time. For you 60 guys...you can put the can on the door just right and turn the scupper window to hold it in place. Better than putting it on the center console just in case.... But don't try to shove a mushy...

AHAHAHA I'd never seen that before! So what are the chances I could transition to jets? :)
