Killing time in Meridian

Hey guys,
I'm brand f'ing new to NAS Meridian, and I don't class up for a while. What do you guys already in the syllibus recommend studying until then? I figured sticking to EPs and limitations would be a good start. I've heard hitting up the FTI's wont do you a ton of good. Any areas to focus on besides those to make life easier once I'm back in the cockpit? Any good gouge floating around? Thanks.

AGREED !!! We used to go to Pensacola (weren't we just there -- in VT-1?), Jackson (?) or Mobile (?) ... and that was IT !!!

Ah, yes, Meridian .... I saw some things in Meridian @ 1970 that most of us have only read about in the history books. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own two eyes. Alabama, too. Pensacola was MUCH MORE "socially advanced", for the time ... obviously, not to offend anyone, but it was a real eye-opener for this Yankee from the Northwest. It's part of our history .... for better or worse. COURAGE, mates ...

I buy guns. Ask Patmack18. It's an addiction.

If you haven't been to Tuscaloosa yet, you must go. Dreamland BBQ is phenomonal.

T-town is the shiat. Bars don't close (at all) on Friday nights, Horne's BBQ is great, and football is a damn fine time. If you can swing it, City Cafe over in Northport has some of the best and cheapest comfort food ever. It keeps weird hours though, so plan/call ahead. UI is right - the bars downtown cater to a more mature crowd, whereas the hard-partying college kids are all on the strip, which is closer (walking distance) to the dorms. Downtown is about a 20-25 minute walk from the strip and about a 5 minute car ride.

If you're there during football season, go for a game or three. You'll likely get noticed for your short hair and asked if you're in the military by the legions of RVers that come for Alabama football, and then offered lots of free beer and food. Great times, plus Bama football is coming back with a vengeance this year.

Nah, just spent many a fun weekend there. Did grow up in Mobile, though.

At least Krock has the Corpus Lights in the distance. I see those guys in the clubs all the time in Corpus.
