For Survival, does everyone split up and say good luck, don't get caught? Or does everyone travel together most of the time? And everyone does eventually get caught right? I've heard some crazy stories from guys going through it back in like the 70's and 80's, with one including being thrown from a moving truck blindfolded and handtied. I def ain't looking forward to that, if it's still that bad.

Haha that post was the f_____ s____!! I mean, I enjoyed reading the informative post.

Hey, I got one that can be used for flying, drivin, whatever and it seems to work good. Around 170. Etrex

Ya C-17 looking forward to whoopin your ass. Haha j/p. I'll be the new kid on the block, probably the weakest too lol.

Ok dont intend to make a flame war but Im just a senior and what the hell is the deal with the scarf? Got me curious now.

EAs?

Alright thanks. Also, when they submit your score to the boards, do they send your best score, or the newest one?

When and how many times is the PFT given to cadets? Once a year or something? And if you need to improve on the running will ROTC help that to get the 6:36 mile or will it just keep you in shape? Thanks

I live around 40 minutes from Troy and heard its not to bad.

Im guessing that was some sarcasm 123abc haha. If not, man... life would be great lol

I saw the other day by 2010 there should be 276 or around there fully functional. I don't know though. UPT may get them before?

1 Million after flight pay given to them? Is there anywhere I can read on this?

hahaha that Herc story is real good

Ive seen some stuff about AAS and know its the honorary AFROTC club or whatever but was just wondering what exactly AAS is and what activities do they do?

http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/warrant/ this one is the specific one

Try this site. https://www.perscomonline.army.mil/index2.asp It should be on there how to inner service transfer. He said its changed since hes been in but you need like a Class 2 Medical Certificate and take the FAST test and get at least a 90, and a 110 on the GT. It all should be on that site though.

Oh. Well Warrants arent required for college but alot do nowadays for rank. My dad doesnt have a degree but got lucky to get CW4. So its up to you. Im guessing youd go to OTS to compete? Im not sure about gettin the pilot slot aspect of it. I know they still ahve high school to flight school but doesnt know if that applies to other branches. Then down here at Ft. Rucker you go through training will lasts around 1 year I believe.

Heres just like a general overview. Warrants are the main pilots in the ARMY. They get the most hours and have other responsibilities but not near as many as Officers. Officers get to fly but not near as. Warrants dont get paid as much is maybe the only downfall. One sucky thing is you can have 15 years in and a 2nd LT is higher rank than you and when you fly you have alot more knowledge its prob just a little weird teachin higher ranks how to fly and them outranking you. ARMY pilots have been deployed alot lately, as well as the rest of the Armed Forces. It all depends where you are stationed. Like dad for like 14 years didnt have to go anywhere overseas except for the first Gulf War. Then in the last 5 years went to Korea, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan for 6 month- 1 year tours so it all depends. Right now were down in Mother Rucker. Not exactly if that covered youre questions or not, just let me know.

Ok Im confused about something. Most people say to get a pilot slot the AF wants you to have a technical degree and I want to do computer science, because it interests me and a good technical degree. However, over on ######.com they're saying if you get a degree such as computer science its a risk because someone with political science would get it over you? Whats up with that?

Being an FAIP actually wouldnt be a bad job then would it? Building up alot of flying time, teaching others, even if you dont have much time in the airframe.

I read a book called Chickenhawk a while back about a Vietnam pilot in the Army that all Army pilots were required to read, but not sure if they do anymore. Anyways just wondering if anyone knows any more good Nam books
