haha...I thought the same thing. Cool trick - but I don't like that the mind can be so easily fooled...

Love and Marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage.... Sorry, absolutely nothing to do with the topic....but so rarely do I get an opportunity to sing a theme song :D

I have no excuse.... I just don't care to know that stuff. But if I did have an excuse :icon_tong ...it would be that I'm not exactly into tech gear - when I got my last cell phone I asked for one that had no functions, no camera....just a phone. They told me they didn't have anything like...

I'm not 13 years old....so you're gonna have to break down the "fwiw" text lingo. But we already answered....yes, you get it. Somewhere in OCS they ask you if you want it. If so, they take $100 a month out of your paycheck for a year. I think it's changed since then (this was...

Wow...this seems like a life or death situation that must be answered RIGHT NOW!!!! Chill a bit..... I was BDCP and was eligible for the GI Bill. Have you looked on the internet??

Don't you love it when questions come with an "answer" button :D

In Navy OCS, nobody will ever know how well you do there. Even if you're first in your class, you get no letter, no documentation. You pass or fail. The ONLY thing that changes is your lineal number. Nobody gives a sh*t what you did there, and it certainly doesn't mean you're going to be a...

I read the title and thought this post was going in a completely different direction.... :icon_tong But no, it's the clean version...

I've always heard math and music go together so I just did a quick google search. Seems to be true.... "Research has linked active music making with better language and math ability, improved school grades, better-adjusted social behavior, and improvements in "spatial-temporal reasoning,"...

NICE! Too bad you don't live in So Cal.....I'd be over for dinner :tongue2_1

Definite vote for BDCP over NROTC. With BDCP not only do you get a guaranteed designator, you gain time in service (good for both pay and retirement), build leave (you'll start OCS maxed out with leave), you get paid, and do absolutely nothing besides a PRT every 6 months. It's the best...

I'm not sure if it works the same.....but I entered BDCP as an NFO because of confusion about my eye sight (different docs saying different things). When I could prove my vision was good enough my recruiter did whatever they do.....and I was switched to pilot. So definitely possible in some...

That makes me feel a little better :) Although I still run to country - haha - it can't all be fast....need to start slow and calm...

I'm a helo guy, so I can't speak for other communities....but I only use my watch to tell time. That's it. All fuel calculations are done in my head. No need to geek it up.

I suddenly feel very uncool....country wasn't on anybody's list :confused: Or what about the good ole 80s. Geeze....

C-12s

Why thank you. I saw in your extensive biography that you were stationed in Atsugi. I may have to pick your brain in a bit.

Nah...still fighting it....spitting out the kool-aid. I'm too old - never got the armed helo training in the FRS. I managed to squeak out a VERTREP cruise and a humanitarian cruise - phew! And I'm a girl....

Nah.....I'm not a tactics kinda flyer. Give me VERTREP any day over TERF. Plus this pic is great! I LOVE Dane Cook! This cracks me up EVERY time: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoID=1402445566

back from the grave Back to the original question...he isn't coming in too fast and I don't think he's doing a straight in. I think he sideflared right. No biggie.

Something to get you started: Do you only want to be a pilot or just be in the Navy? If you only want to be a pilot, go for BDCP/OCS. If you don't get your pilot slot - no biggie - you're not obligated to anything. If you go Academy or ROTC then you take what you can get.

I'll leave it. This will be my last post - I promise. No where is it more important than OCS for a girl to be tough and fit in. I don't know why you guys don't understand this. Ever seen a girl drop out of a run and then have 3 DIs go up and start harassing her? God help her if she...

Well go ahead and be the weak one. I pity the guys in your class because they will be doing extra work because of you. Good luck getting any kind of respect.

Talk to me after OCS. If you can't keep up....you will be eaten alive. And not only that....it's personal pride. See how your class and DI view you when you drop out on runs and you sit on your hands and knees while the rest of the class is doing push-ups. Irritates the h*ll out of me. One...

So because you can't be a SEAL women should just be allowed to be weaker? What kind of logic is that? Is you can't keep up (because of age, weight, height, gender, etc) then you get out. Simple. One standard. Sorry to those who didn't want my soapbox.

I mostly agree....but I've seen females wash out....and I've been in a squadron where one performed so badly (when there were just two of us) that it felt like I had to pick up the slack. This isn't a career for everyone. People have asked me many times what it's like to be a female pilot...

I'm gonna make an observation and you can take it or leave it. With these questions....you seem like a pretty timid individual. I am a female who's gone through OCS and has gone through flight school. You will always be in the minority. You will always be competing with the guys. And if you...

That gives me chills just reading it. Was at the boat last night when it was pitch f'ing dark and the ship was in and out of squalls. Without instruments...you're done.....

During my HAC cruise on the Mercy I was on the stand-by crew. That morning I was informed there was a woman stuck in a small mountain village in Papua New Guinea who was going to die if we couldn't get her out. The Australian rescuers in that area had tried and failed...so the mighty Mercy got a...

Yeah, this would work real well. How many women willingly tell people their weight? So I'm sure they'd have no issue just jumping on the scale in front of everyone standing in line. Much less the people who would fight it for weight discrimination issues. Don't mess with women and their...

Come on..... Everyone keeps asking for the big picture I posted with the chocks.....lets focus on the kick A** VERTREP one! :icon_tong

Send me a PM with your e-mail and I'll mail it to you.

That wasn't big enough for ya?

humanitarian mission Sometimes the job isn't about the flying....sometimes it's about the things you get to see and the people you get to help. Great feeling!

Don't think about the process too much to figure it out - just go with it

There we go.....

A few pics.... I don't know how to make these big....sorry Couldn't ask for a better job......
