  1. I had the drop down arrow button clicked up so I didn't pay attention to it.

    ...and "AMX" is still shown twice without the box down.

    Just sayin'. Little thing looks fun to fly though.

  2. UND doesn't have the rich snobby kids here... plus the cold makes you tougher! Not many people can say they've flown in -30 degrees weather in the winter and 100 degrees in the summer... and have 4-5 blizzards a year... at least. You also have a chance to go a "normal" college and all that accompanies it... unlike ERAU. Oh, and we have the best college hockey team in the nation. Obviously UND is the better choice. :)

    Daytona Beach, North Pole, Daytona Beach, North Pole.....right.

  3. Ditto. Lots of great reasons to come here, some not so great reasons (price being #1). I went to fly, and I'd argue the Aeronautical Science program can't be beat. The professors are outstanding, and their emphasis on safe flight operations and crew resource management were excellent.

    However, would I still be flying in the Air Force if I had gone somewhere cheaper and majored in poli sci, without $80,000 in debt? Probably.

    So its your call.

  4. Now the real question: when is someone going to man up and do a repeat of the Phantom pic!

    You're assuming it doesn't happen very often. Not everyone wants to get caught doing it...

  5. let it be known too that those herk nav's were still on the "cry me a river I didnt get a pilot slot" So its no wonder they trash talked their own airframe. It was quite a sobering experience that has scared me a bit from the NAV side of the house. When I get to randolph, it makes me already want to consider EWO without knowing jack about them.

    That's not a well-informed decision either. A C-130 nav who hates his job has personal issues he/she needs to get over. I'm a C-130 nav, and I absolutely love what I'm doing. Yes, I put in for a pilot slot in ROTC, but didn't get one. Yes, I tried to go special ops from Randolph, but didn't get it. Oh well...this job kicks ass, the crews are great, the locations "can" be great too, and people who say otherwise are just bitter at life.

    And you're a cadet still, so I would highly recommend keeping your pie hole shut about real world things you know absolutely dick about.

  6. I was in the DFW USO this morning...my second time stopping by, always great! They've always got a movie going with comfortable chairs, sleeping area, lots of computers and wireless, a guitar you can play, tons of free food/drinks, and grade A service.

  7. I don't think there's any way that the second half of the SERE acronym can possibly be taught effectively (or securely!) through a damned CBT.

    If you want to call it survival and evasion training, sure call it that, but don't do mis-justice to the SERE career fields and everyone of us that went through the real deal.

  8. I searched and this was the thred with the most posts...

    I need to get dog tags to go on a Army Helo ride (ROTC) in a few weeks and I just wanted to make sure I get all of the lines correct. If I'm not mistaken the lines are:

    Last Name

    First Name, Middle Name

    SSN

    Blood Type

    Religion

    Let me know if I am missing anything...

    Thanks

    First off, its queer that they're making you have them for an orientation ride.

    But, it actually goes:

    Last name

    First name, middle initial

    SSN and service

    Blood type

    Religion

    I'm a fresh Herk nav- they harp on the dog tags thing at Randolph and not quite as much at the Rock.

  9. An all time low has been reached my friends......

    My sock ends a full 4 inches below the top of the boot, how the f*** do you check something like that? "Sir, please remove your boots. I have to check the color of your socks before you can eat a meal." Jesus Christ...I REALLY don't see why the answer can't be a simple "No, Sergeant," end of story.

    WTF is next? Mandating a type of underwear? And why doesn't the senior leadership have the brass to stop the nonsense?
