Impossible. You've never seen a pilot with a chick, have you? Well there you go....your life ends when you get your wings. 24/7 for the rest of your life....

does it make a difference?

That shit scares me. It happened once that I asked "where is -2" and got a "uhhh....hold on". From then on...I said in my briefs 3,4,5 times..."if I ask you where -2 is...I want zero hestitation. It's your job to ALWAYS know where that aircraft is. I don't care how many times we have to call...

Absolutely nothing to do with your post....but are you the originator of the famous flight school gouge??

Does anyone know what happened with this?? From what I remember they didn't find anything wrong with the helo and I can't remember hearing anything after that.

I don't think you can really plan where to stash food. We were just hiking one day, crawling through some bushes, and there it was. Our instructor took it away and that was that. It wasn't a big deal - besides getting to see snickers, twix, peanut butter crackers, etc and having thoughts of...

Yeah...no critters. However we found a big bag of food someone had stashed. Apparently not EVERYTHING you find you get to keep. But just not eating for the 6 days or whatever is easier...the hunger goes away and then you don't have to worry about it.

haha...NICE! And you satisfied my curiosity about what another member of AW looks like - thank you!

I'd go for better. Look at things this way....the whole reason you're in college is so you don't have to work at some crappy job (probably like the one you have now) for the rest of your life, right? So why in the WORLD would you allow yourself to get lower grades for that job? It's like...

Ummm, I'd say you're busy enough. I got in with zero extra curricular activities. But I had a technical major and a great GPA. So if I were you...I'd concentrate on studying and getting good grades rather than anything else. If you're already pulling down a 3.8 or better - then go look for...

ok...this is going no-where. So we can agree to disagree about the pictures and respect.

Fair enough. I can't argue with your personal feelings. But I can argue with the fact that you totally lost it over a stupid bunch of pictures. He's the president and he's black....that's going to be news.... I agree with you that the media has taken WAY too big of an interest in him because of...

No, just regular khakis. Horrible horrible horrible. I'd rather wear blues than khakis

You don't automatically give someone respect for their title? You don't give a CO at a new squadron you walk into respect just because he's the CO? I'm not going to argue about his politics or policies or whatever else people have issues with. But I do think as President of the United States...

He's the President of the United States. The position alone deserves your respect.

The absolute WORST uniform for a woman's body. A close second is khakis. Ugh...

That is absolutely not normal. I would have been on that HCO like nobody's business. There's no reason he/she can't tell you what's going on and why they can't launch you. But I'm like PAGS...I'm kind of an ass when it comes to that stuff.

I'm disgusted by people who are completely closed minded and shoot their mouth off without actually thinking about what they're saying (I'm hoping you said this without thinking....)

If the seas are bad and you have to turn the ship to get pitch and roll within limits....don't turn back to the original course once the helo is on deck. That's how tailwheel lockpins break......

I'm curious about airline weight and balance. I was in Chicago tonight (snow storm going through), and ended up sitting in the plane at the gate for 3 hours. One of the "issues", was the weather at the destination and alternates went down so they needed different alternates. So weight...

IFS is on someone else's dime...so that's always a big consideration. But I had my PPL and I think I learned a lot more than people do in IFS. Now granted, I've never been to IFS so I don't know for sure the syllabus...but I did a lot of instrument stuff with my instructor (both in the plane and...

:D I should be ashamed of myself....I should be the last one assuming gender..... :( But in all reality...you can do it. It's no big deal. Mark "yes" and then go get some swimming lessons. If you get in there is going to be a ton of water stuff you have to do (swimming, floating, survival...

haha...so what's he supposed to say.... "I want to be a Naval Officer first, but there is this question on the application I don't know how to answer". Come on....

I was wondering....either a quick search or he already has them on his computer just waiting to be used...... :icon_tong

Seriously? Give the kid a break...it was a simple question. Don't be a *****

^ Where do you find all these pictures you always post :D

haha....I bet if someone threw you in the deep end of the pool you'd be able to stay afloat for 5 minutes. And if not....problem solved ;)

What a beautiful site!

If you got a "good high", then yes you did. lol...negative seems to be working for me :D Someone needs to throw a dose of reality your way. Eat some humble pie, re-read your first post and realize you said absolutely NOTHING helpful, and take a better attitude to the fleet. You're not...

No. Not really. Besides the fact that you somehow think you're special for getting through OCS, how did you put it, "day after grueling day". Well congratulations if that's what you were looking to hear. This post is completely stupid. And I can't believe I keep responding. But I can't help...

I finished in Jan '04. But nothing you posted is different than what anybody else has said. That was my point. You said to be mentally and physically prepared. That's not news. What else did you post that was worth anything besides that? What do you hope people will get out of it?

You were the one who said it. Your post sounds like you were a lost little boy in OCS and were coming back to tell people everything you discovered. Christ - all you need to do is know how to run (covered in every single post about OCS). That's it. So besides that shockingly new piece of...

So you're pretty much saying to be in shape when you go.... You didn't get that from the hundred other posts about OCS on here????

Not NUPOC specifically, but I was accepted to BDCP for NFO and then later switched to pilot. So switching is possible if that's your question...

Why not ask your recruiter this info?

I've only heard of one case where someone got airsick in a helo that was brought up in board situation. The guy was known to have been airsick prone. Happened on goggle brown-out landings. Just flying in a tight pattern over and over and over and getting the visual illusion. But it just...

Yep, they would have to class you up later for API if there was a wait and pay you to sit on your butt and do absolutely nothing (and possibly pay you per diem). So they're going to keep you where you are if there isn't a spot for you and pay you nothing. Makes much more sense for them - like...

I doubt there's anything you can do if your recruiter can't do anything. Welcome to the Navy and things constantly changing :D My OCS date was moved as well. I believe it was for spacing for flight school - so we all weren't just sitting down there waiting on API with the Academy guys. But...

I got a biomed engineering degree as well. Would I recommend it.....not sure. I was BDCP and flight school was fine - so don't knock it thinking you're missing out on essential mech stuff that would help you later or that it's valued more. However, I find myself wrestling with the idea of...

What about money? Seems like they give you way too much for electric and you could bank the leftover. Any other money thoughts? Did you have any issues renewing leases or anything like that? This is my shore duty, but I will be gone a fair amount on overnight/week trips. No husband, no...

Anybody have thoughts on living on base versus off base in Japan. :confused: Seems most of the officers live on base. I don't know why. I guess most have families so it's easier. Pros/cons of either....send them my way (here or PM)!! Thanks.

So if I got a splitter it should work???

Set it up this morning. Wow... WAY easier than I thought it would be. Just plug a couple cables in and follow the directions on the screen. Couldn't have gone better. :D One more question....as I watch the DVR on my computer it also shows up on the TV. I thougth I could watch the DVR...

:confused: lol...ok. You're not going to be in Green Bay in the next week, are you?? I'm sure I'll figure it out - thanks for the help!

Is that the difference between the solo and ProHD versions? I want the DVR, so I'm going to have to get them a cable box. Is that all? Do I need a separate internet connection? Computer? Cable outlet? Anything??? Or just the slingbox and that's it?

Like what??

I'm moving to Japan and would like to use the slingbox from my parents TV. How would it affect their ability to watch tv the same time I want to? They have an ethernet connection and the internet speed in Japan is supposed to be good. What do you mean by upstream bandwidth? Is this an...

Has anyone tried using a slingbox? From what I've read you can hook it up to a home TV/DVR and hook up the slingbox and then watch tv programs on your computer wherever you are. Just curious how well it worked and if it could be an international thing (US to Japan).

Right now San Diego gets a fair amount of play time with the SEALs as well. Always new classes that need to be trained and they like the opportunity. Lots of HRSO and cast/recovery in the bay and at Turner field/elephant cage.

Forget the math...you don't have to do calculus in the plane. Plus it would just be boring! :sleep_125 Go for the aviation!
