The Challenges and Rewards of Flight School Video

[taz954]

Does anyone have or know where I can download the video "The Challenges and Rewards of Flight School"? It can be found on the NAS Whiting website: https://wwwcfs.cnet.navy.mil/naswf/ffsc3.cfm The problem is that its streaming video and the quality is very poor unless you have a very fast internet connection.

Don't know about downloading, but the Whiting Fleet and Family Service Center has DVD and VHS copies. I'm sure they'd mail you one free. They offer them to all new students the first day of Primary. Their number is (850) 623-7177. Good luck!

Look on NAS Whiting's website. Pretty sure I happened upon it by accident one night while in an alcohol-induced haze.

I have a fast connection and it still skips. The server must really suck. Right click on the video go to options and change the buffer to 60 seconds and you can get through it if u hit pause and play alot.

Damn - i was hoping it was going to be one of those motivational music videos.

I love how they decided to use the picture of someone getting pulled while driving on base when they are telling you that there is a variety of support personnel whose job is to help you get through.

After going through the source code for that page, I came up with this:

Put that link in your address bar and it will take you directly to the video file. Now, depending on how your browser is set up, you should be given the option of downloading the file directly. I have it downloading on my machine now... it's pretty slow.
