Help picking a major/degree
Where do you plan on earning said degree from? That could be the basis for a major selection. I'm doing Meteorology at ERAU and love it, not too hard, not too easy, got a badass internship this summer with NOAA, and still applies to flying. YMMV

I'm going to be a 5th year senior and my financial statement just came in and it shows $9000 a semester, so it looks like it does apply to everyone

Protesters at soldier's funerals
I just found out today that these assholes are going to be protesting at ERAU (Daytona) on March 27-28 for some diversity event the campus is holding. I can only imagine what walking around in uniform those days is going to be like. Any advice that I could pass along to everyone to prevent people from getting into conflicts?

Car Makers giving up their biz jets
We might as well argue politics and religion while we're at it.. Difference of opinion I suppose, no use in bickering... I just hope we can all get out of this recession soon I don't disagree that the Big 3 did some stupid shit, I admit that! I invested well over 10 years ago, didn't think it would ever get this bad! They need new CEOs (except Ford, whos not even part of the bailout), and a new business model. My whole point is this: If the auto industry is required to give dollar by dollar detail to where the $17B is going, I think the banks should do the same for their $700B. And Lumburgh, I'm sure if you owned a business that employed 20% of the country in some fashion, the gov't may help you out too. Read: https://www.autoobserver.com/2008/12/7-myth...free-press.html

Car Makers giving up their biz jets
Thats a lot of BS with no real information. All I did was make a comparison to the banks, and how they're a) not keeping track of the money and b) worse off than the Big 3. Toyota reported a pretty big loss too, must be all those shitty cars too... ...or the market for cars just sucks. And trust me, I already have stock in Ford and GM...and I lost a lot of my investment, why dont you make fun of me for that too?

Sidenote: Has anybody seen the movie "The Day After" ? It was on Sci-Fi yesterday, pretty scary stuff relating to nuclear war and all that.

Nobody in my family works in the auto industry currently, but I can guarantee that if the white house had allowed the big 3 to collapse, that you ALL would be feeling it. Without getting into UAW politics (which I dont know anything about, and I'm pretty sure most of you are just going off of media bias, same as the public hears shit about whats going on in the middle east and believe it without second thought), but 1 in 5 jobs nationwide are related to the autos somehow. If any one of them were to collapse, it would be a blow to the other 2, and EVERYTHING relating to the industry would fall apart. Nobody can keep track of the $700B that the banks had, while their CEOs still fly in their jets as previously mentioned, but the autos asked for a small fraction of that and everything is blowing their tops. Detroit is unique in that it ONLY has the autos. If they fail, the state fails, the region fails, the country fails. I sure as hell don't want to come home to Detroit worse off than it already is. My $0.02

How to get ready for ROTC

I love how upset "Adam" gets about this: Which makes me not think its Doc, just for the fact that hes getting rid of probably the only cool stuff there is to write about him. Why? Who knows

ROTC Scholarship information
I think you guys are confusing the TIERS for certain majors and the TYPES of scholarships. Ex: Meteorology is a TIER I degree (Technical), and you can get a Type I or II scholarship (or VII in my case)

General field training info
I'm not sure if you still can or not, but I brought my own clippers with me. Seemed like every night i was cutting my own hair or someone elses in the flight/squadron. Saved us a lot of time from not going to the BX (E1).
