[Civilian Path to Wings]

Anyone who didn’t already have a UPT slot get picked up?

[Civilian Path to Wings]

Have the people who were selected already been notified?

[Monofixation]

The Navy test for depth perception is the same one the AF uses.

[New USAF Uniforms?]

Looks like Marine dress blues, except the enlisted ones. Just has the silver outline instead of red.

[Depth Perception DQ and Waiver info]

Just look to see which circle looks darker. Then focus on that and it should pop up. Works for me

[When is a Masters degree needed for a Guard Officer?]

I am currently attending grad school while I wait to go back to UPT. I did some searching but could not find much. At what rank does a Guard guy need a Masters degree? I heard it is not needed to get Major like AD, but I was trying to figure out if there was a rank that the Guard typically wants one.

[High/low contrast test for a PRK waiver in Southern Cal]

Has anyone had to do a High/low contrast test for their PRK waiver? I had a waiver through the Navy, but the Air Force wants this test for the AF waiver. I called MCAS Miramar and they dont know what this test is. Has anyone been through this process in southern CA? I am fighting a clock to get back to UPT to avoid going through t-6's again.

[Vance AFB information]

There is a new apt complex that opened a few months ago. Its pretty nice. I lived in Indian Oaks. Place is cheap and they keep up the place

[Another Cheating Probe]

well odds are someone was cheating on the academeic tests or the EPQs. I cant think of a clean cut kill single cheating tool one could use in the jet or in a sim. Gouge that resembles tests bank questions isnt wrong to have. If you study the crap and memorize you are getting the point of why they even quiz you on it. If you are taking an academic test as a "student 4 ship" you are gonna piss someone off pretty bad who spent the night before studying his ass off for it while you coast. Since academics are weighted 30% at least and after all UPT is all about class rank there def shouldnt be tolerance for blatent cheating of academic tests.

Academics are not 30%. They are 10%. I dont know why they didnt have a brief with the actual grading system. I only know cause I was a Marine who had to get in the weeds on the AF and Navy system to figure out the differences.

[Career Starter Loans?]

Marine federal has one at 1%. The bank kind of sucks though, so you have to weigh the ease of USAA vs getting 1%

[Col John Boyd]

Marines base alot of our tactics on Boyd. Alot of his work translated into the ground fight.

[Going to Vance in November?]

I used to be pretty active in this forum when I was interviewing with the guard/af reserve. I got sick of sitting around so I joined the Marines. I was voluntold to go to Primary at Vance, so I was trying to see if anyone was looking for a roommate. I was looking to get a place with a extra room that we can use for studying. If your interested hit me up at guim13@aol.com. Good luck to the rest of you guys who have not been picked up yet. Navy down here is fighting to keep their slots and we dont have any slots for fy2011, so flight school the hard way is out for at least a year.
