STR1CK

What a mess. Good luck trying to crew all those new units. Are the proposed TFI unit's that haven't stood up yet still going to happen??

I think I found the answer to my question. http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/ain-defense-perspective/2012-02-10/boeings-c-130-amp-chopped-usaf-announces-more-cuts

So here is my questions,with all the H Model C-130's that are going to be retired, how does that affect the AMP??

Not trying to be a dick, but why is a nurse trolling Baseops? Watch yourself out there!

This is a great day for Slick Navs!!! This program has hemorraged money since its inception. The main problem I have with the AMP is it doesn't go, faster, father, or higher. Also you were still going to need some one as a PADS OP/CTII OP. Those items were not going to be embedded in the AMP avionics! At the end of the day with the previous budget cuts/ cost overruns I am not so sure that the Slicks were going to be without Navs anyway. The Boeing Rep who gave the AMP briefing at AATTC Tactics Symp was tring to get the Air Force to keep the Slick Navs. The Air Force hates Navs enough that they will finally change our crew position to a CSO/FSO/WSO or something. But when the last H models go to the boneyard it will be with a NAV.

I have had two BMW's and I am looking to get a Third soon. My advice is know what you are getting. Search the BMW forums so you know a head of time what problems you are likely to encounter. Do not buy a BMW that is out of warranty. It will bleed you dry. Hell I am a Capt/GS12 and my wife works and it would bleed us dry. Honestly there are much better more realiable cars that cost a whole hell of a lot less. Before our daughter came alont I had a Honda Civic Si. That was an awesome car!!! It was fast, sporty, reliable, and most importantly affordable. I am not lecturing you, just do your homework.

With CFPS Open Create your point as described above. Once you have your point defined, right click on the Fix/Point or Description Field. Select Calculate Bearing/Range Cross Reference and select what you would like to reference your point from (i.e NAVAID, Airfield, Drop Zone) Hope this helps

Not only do they hate the J model, they also hate the C-17 too. They have a great bunch of guys instructing. Some of them deployed to Tabuk with us and helped us run Tabuk Tactics.

When I went to Little Rock for Navigator Initial Qual, billeting stuck me in a room in which I had to share a bathroom. This was a clear violation of the AFI that pertains to billeting and lodging, but as you may well guess the SrA behind the desk was quick to pullout a copy of the AETC Waiver to the AFI.

Toro did you forget the AETC waiver!

Contact your unit training officer. He should have the disk.

Scrubs I has an Entry Training Physical Seperation from the ARMY due to my flat feet. You shouldn't have gotten an Other Than Honorable Discharge for a medical problem. Anyway I have been a Navigator for 6 years now. Good Luck

Doorknob If you are going to be a Herc NAV (not CSO) you better get used to fuel charts, log, TAS CHECK, and DEV Check. (Until they release the new V3) Take it from me you want to go to Little Rock. They are the undisputed C-130 experts. No where in the world can you get the training you get at Little Rock. (Sauheaver and Stone are the Best) Dobbins isn't as laid back as you might expect. They still do their fair share of FEBing dudes. Plus one day you will go to IN school, a basic familiarity with the LRF local area goes a long way. Also you will be treated like a stepchild since non of the Lockheed Martin instructors will recoginze you. Those guys remember everyone, and I mean everyone who has come through that school. They keep tabs on you too. Anyway that is just my humble opinion . Good Luck with your training.

Lightninbo Do yourself a favor and make a reservation at the Razorback Inn on base. The suites are really nice. You get a bathroom, bedroom, and a living room. Its close to the new base gym, chow hall, and school house. Traffic is terrible coming in the front gate in the AM. Some of the finer J'ville hotels have some pretty shady folks hanging around too. Yeah so what if you don't get the $50 bucks in perdiem. You are saving yourself a lotta of hassle in the long run. You are going to be there for 5+ Months. Make sure you fill out the missed meals forms for all the late night sims and early morning flights. It will work out in the long run. How is your search for a NIQ/NMQ slot going???

Demo I am not the person digging up pictures of dead people at an airshow and posting them on the internet. I simply made a joke. Whats up with the name calling. Lighten Up.
