same here, no unit near us either, closest are UF and USF, so orlando is our territory =) now the people there rarely see uniforms and know how to treat the military! haha
Man I can't believe I missed this thread. The AFROTC is an embarassment here.
One morning I was walking to the weight room, and as I passed by the gym, I heard "Danger Zone" blaring. Wondering what the hell was going, I opened the door to the gym. To my astonishment, the ENTIRE Air Force flock, detachment, group, or whatever the hell they call themselves were doing jumping jacks for their morning PT, synchronized to the TOP GUN SOUNDTRACK!! WTF?!? It was the funniest damn thing I've ever seen at that hour.
The only thing that beats this is another morning, walking to the weightroom. I heard a woman yelling stretch commands in a weird therapist-like tone, again coming from the gym. Wondering what the hell they were doing this time, I opened the door again. To my astonishment, the entire AFROTC; doing YOGA for their PT. So much for running.
Anyhow, I wish the video would have at least been funny. Define irony: Air force making a movie about civillian aviation using a sound track of a movie about NAVAL aviation.

Shows how ancient you are. We wear khakis pretty much year round now.zab1001 said:
Of course, they don't do much either.
Hell, they might be worse, but if I were four years younger, I'd still take my chances here than anywhere else on the planet. GO STATE!

go FSU! =)
Nobody broke into the ATC lab. Bad information. Caused a mid-air? From 3000'? They shot the video of the Riddle plane from the ground! And since when is formation flight illegal? Have you ever read the FARs? It wasn't a flight for hire, all the pilots agreed to it on the ground beforehand, and planned the flight. More bad information.
Wow, three UCMJ violations. Such a credit to the USN. Good job, people. Good job.
We were forced to do that. Do you think we wanted to be out there? It's not our fault that the people in charge have to fill blocks and fill our time with such things as golf lessons.
Your professionalism and potential officership are the real embarrasments here. The fact that there are midshipmen here on campus with a chip as large as yours is disturbing. In the Air Force, we are taught to respect the other branches. I would have hoped that the Navy instilled similiar values, since the DoD seems to think that joint relations is a priority. Your post reads more like a note passed to a friend in 3rd grade than a coherent thought created by an Ensign in the Navy with an aerospace engineering degree.
Concerning the yoga session... yes, that was one godawful "PT" session in three years that (yet again) we were forced to attend by the higher-ups. It was a joke, and people should have had their head examined for mandating.
Stationary bikes have never been used in ROTC fitness regimes or tests. And the Air Force discontinued their use for everyone in late 2003, when the new PT standards were adopted.
Why hasn't anybody commented on how we took the Army PFT last week? Oh, that's right--it wouldn't jive with your biased slams of the Air Force. I suspect I will be banned within minutes, since this is my first post, and its entire purpose is to respond to petty comments made by others, but that is okay. I am proud of the unit I am currently in, and proud of the branch I will be commissioned into in 9 short months. Also, I have been taught that every military member, unit, branch, job, etc should be respected. It is frustrating to see the folks here that care more about slaming their brothers and sisters in arms than doing things to build up relations so the job gets done more effectively.
A little friendly inter-service rivalry is a healthy thing.
Compeng06, relax buddy. We're only poking a little fun. They're jokes, you know, the things people say to make others laugh. Relax, and welcome aboard.
Like a great rock band once said, "Take it eeeeaaaasy, take it eaaa-eassy, don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy." Rep point to whoever figures out who the band is first.
