I'm showing all green when I log on. We're cleared hot. -
Suggestion, in case the issue isn't solved soon, what if we were to hire an IT guy with experience in this sort of thing to look for and solve the problem? If everybody would collectively pitch in a couple of bucks to foot the bill, we could make this happen and get back on track.

I wish I would have had this book when I was a younger man. Great book, Skipper. Thank you and Gig 'em.

I personally believe that "such as" chick made more sense because some people out there in our nation don't have that and I believe that our education such as the people in Iraq and in South Africa should help the people in Iraq and in South Africa such that... I'm a little hammered right now, and my vocabulary can't get any worse such that I won't make any sense.

The website is crap. It's all just crap. There are typos all over the place. Can anyone tell me what the hell a "utem" is? I've had to literally read that 8 or 9 times to conjure up some vague idea of what that sorry excuse of a sentence was describing. By the way, his wife looks like a dude with a bad mullet... not that there has ever been a good one besides the one my boy, Joe, sports.

I've heard the term used by Marines meaning "Person Other than Grunt." Urban dictionary said it also means "Permanently On the Ground" for AF, Navy and Army aviation. For you flyers, how accurate is that statement?
Points taken. I'll leave the fruity comments for other forums.
Solid advice from everybody here. Thank you! Thank you! The general consensus is on par with everybody saying to "stick with it," and I really enjoy the little tid bits each individual is sharing from their personal experiences. Keep it coming!
Well not to toot my own horn, but thankfully I can hold my own in math, but like a good Aggie... I can't read. LOL Out of the whole test, the part that kicked my ass the most was the vocabulary section. As soon as this semester ends, I'm going to start reading some more, among other things, to do better on that section. A buddy of mine, who is going to OTS this January, gave all his study guides to me (Arco, Barron's, etc) so I'll be burying my face in those too for the next 8 months. Thank you for the gouge, Vno. I'll make a note of all this. I started volunteering at the Lone Star Flight Museum, and one of the pilots is former Marine fighter pilot and a current ppl instructor. I'll chat with him about his flight school and the recommendations you brought up. Thank you for the gouge, StickShaker.
I read this article on the OTS forum and wanted to share with the rest of you. https://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/wings_of_an_angel_m7W8NXNsFsgsqcf5YKPGzO
Thanks for the link!
Words to live by. lol Aggie jokes... lol I want to get the PPL so that my application will look better when I reapply. I figured that after earning it, the pilot and navigator sections will be easy to score 99s on. In the meantime this Aggie needs to learn how to read apparently. I also want to retake the TBAS and actually take it with more than 3 hours of sleep. Here were my scores the first time I took it: AFOQT Scores: 87/91/76/38/94 PCSM: 77 Flight Hours: 0 Pilot Civilian BS in Marine Engineering Technology 1st time applying No waivers
That was a fast repsonse! Thanks for the good gouge, everyone! I get the picture: stick with it and don't half ass it. discus: What did you mean by doing it "away from home"?
Howdy, all. I'm planning to get a PPL this coming summer. From what I understand, the minimum flight hours needed to earn it is 40 hours, but the flight school has told me that can be rare depending on how quickly I learn. They say the average time that people have spent in the cockpit is 50 hours or more. Do any of you pilots have any advice on how to better prepare for the flights so that I could maybe learn faster and perform better? In addition, the reason I am going for a PPL is to gain the pilot knowledge and flight time so that when I retake the AFOQT next year, I can get higher scores on the pilot and navigator sections before reapplying the second time for OTS.
