Primary on Monday
- Thread starter Erin M.

Haha, I'm kidding. I'm the most senior in the class. I'm getting promoted to 1stLt in 2 weeks, and all of the other Marines are some time after that. All the Navy guys are basically right out of College, so it definitely wouldn't be any of them. The only Coastie happened to be lucky enough to be sent here before getting tasked with some other tour.
"Lead Lieutenant" - Got it.
Maybe get a better name and avatar. Just saying.
Bullshit...nothing wrong with that avatar. Lucky bastard...
I've never posted on here but I log on when I get bored. I went through VT-3 and finished a few months ago. I remember checking in and was pissed when I found out I was going to 3. "the Marine killer". I think the stigma of being an Air Force Squadron get everyone all worked up. Yes there are more AF students and instructors but I never witnessed or went through anything that was any more shitty or better than the other squadrons ( except completing faster). As a matter of fact I was grateful being in 3 as I went through primary after talking to my friends in 6 and 2. My onwing is a navy Lt. I flew with probably 10 AF instructors( every single flight was great). The current CO has created a very positive climate. I don't really know why I'm posting this but I get pissed when I read so much fucking bullshit about 3 being a whore.
I will say that VT-3 didn't deserve it's rep at all. Great squadron with great IP's.
I don't know if this was missed but I was kidding about the class leader because of Air Warriors post.
Also to the VT-3 comments; I understand that its frustrating to hear that the perception of your [former] squadron is off, but I wasn't trying to perpetuate that myth. I just said that people told me to avoid it. (Which is silly because aside from being a douche and intentionally bringing up circumstances that would delay my class date, there is no way to control that.)

No offense taken. I was horrified when I found out I was going to VT-3. Once I was there I couldn't imagine being in any other squadron. Lesson learned: nothing is as bad as everyone says. Except the centrifuge...that was as bad as they said.
Not to mention that I thought "Shooter" sounded much cooler on the radio than "Red Knight"...of course neither sounded cool when preceded by one of my helmet fire induced radio calls.

Simmer Down Sally. I have friends in VT-3 who finished ground school over a month ago and still haven't done FAM-0, so they are having to re-do night school. Everyone has a different perspective, some people like night school, I'd much rather sit at home and force myself to study on my days off then be on base at 6am every morning for 2-3 weeks. It's a difference in cultures, the Air Force will make you pass. The Marine Corps/Navy will give you the materials and expect you to put in the time without someone telling you to do it. The upside is that the VT-3 students rarely stand duty since they have Air Force Lt's on stash jobs. VT-6 is pretty backed up as well, a friend in 6 was told he won't start flying till end of September/early October and he checked back into the squadron after ground school about 3 weeks ago. VT-6 does a 24 hr duty and you have to stand it in Chucks/Khakis. VT-2 does a 12 hr duty, which means you'll stand it twice as much, but you can be in Cammies. All of this doesn't really matter because there isn't much you can do to control what squadron you get in anyways.
