Possible Hornet Ride?

Trust falls? Will here be trust falls?

Did somebody say "Trust Fall?"

You only do trust falls if you go to a PRB. It's how you find out if you're staying or leaving.

No, but there is an intensive course on how to pick a bike lock.

I would have figured that skill was innate in Marines.

OP gave me negative reps and now he changed his avatar so no one will get it. Where is the pouty emoticon?

I apologize for the dislike. Undone. But, I did tell you you got your one free look! So no complaining when it gets taken away. On a more serious note, thanks to all who basically confirmed my suspicion that this is next to impossible.

That was the exact photo I had in mind actually. Gunna steal it if you don't mind?

There is a lava monster way up on the top of that rock, right?

I like how your slings match your shorts. Climb on, Patrick. Climb on.

I'm at least 50% sure that I know which way is north from my house at the moment

That's the 'F' side of your VF/A split personality. The 'A' hemisphere knows your precise position in space 100% of the time!

I'm assuming you're a climber if you know what slings are! Good to know.

Hi all,

I'm a Marine Option Midshipman at University of San Diego and I'm wondering what the chances are of setting up a back seat ride at some point. I've read the threads about it happening occasionally at CORTRAMID to the lucky few, but I figure it can't hurt to ask if I could get this set up. First off, is this possible? If so, if anyone on here is at 101 or the other 2 seat squadrons, or know of a POC for me, I'd love that. Thanks for the help.

I got a ride with VFA-122 on CORTRAMID. A couple of marines did too I think. Basically it comes down to this: be liked and be lucky.



That's assuming that anybody is getting a ride at all during your year. Also, I'm in 101 and that's not gonna happen with us.

Good buddy of mine, from the first day of API, through the end of the RAG and Hornet CQ and every stop in between, is flying those jets now. I think in their lot 10 chucks, he has possibly less gucci gear than you did back in the day

Yeah I got a half dozen flights in the Rhino and T-34 while I was doing my 1/c cruise in Lemoore. Never did CORTRAMID so I can't speak to that, but I was under the impression that it went to the guy/gal with the best PT scores or something equally as unrelated as that. And agreed, -101 isn't coughing up one of it's only up jets to fly a mid. It was hard enough for the stashed 2lt's to finagle T-34 rides, let alone a Hornet.

"gucci gear", are you talking flight/survival gear''...

or aircraft equipment (doubtful)?

And during that photo shoot the pilot was asking for BRAA because he had no idea where the photographer was.
