Private Pilot License (PPL) questions
For ERAU, I was able to include my flight costs in my total financial aid package. However, there is some rules about if you're on scholarship it technically can't cover an part of the flying. I stopped flying here just before I got my scholarship, so can't help with that part. However, before I got my scholarship, they would include that in the annual cost of tuition, therefore my finaid and stu loans covered flying (a terrible decision that I will most likely regret later on, when I'm paying them back).

Security Clearance questions
Just throwing this out there... none of my debts met those conditions (defaulting, etc), so I didn't list them at all. Mine just went through, no problems. For a reference I have student loans and plenty of revolving credit card debt.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
https://science.dodlive.mil/2010/06/29/the-bat-hook-harvesting-energy-from-power-lines-labtv/ Soooo.... let me get this straight, if I'm in a place with NO POWER, there should be POWER LINES nearby? How many jungle/desert environments have power lines running everywhere? <- Honest question, since I've never been there...

Going off the fact that they "were able to keep the plane on its assigned flight path", I'm gonna say it was most likely not a RA, but prolly a TA.- F-16's Get Too Close To ASA
You think it was a RA or a TA? The only thing I've ever got a TA on (or in) was a bug smasher, so I can't really claim to know much about part 121 or vipers (I'm no Tim Martin), but this story stinks...- F-16's Get Too Close To ASA

"Cheesy bird joke"- ROTC Vs. OTS
Popping my popcorn now. Here's the variants of the answer's you'll prolly get: 1.) Be an officer first 2.) UTFSF SNAP 3.) Somebody will quote the part about "I won't risk a pilot slot over it" From me: Go ROTC. If you put a lot in, you'll get a lot out (sts).- Air Refueling
The most myopic, SNAP post I'll prolly ever post: Why exactly are Air Force Refueling squadrons having to bill Air Force Fighter/Bomber/Whatever Receivers? I mean.... it's not like I can AR in my 172.... so not a lot of chances for somebody not on the same team to 'steal' the gas... So big picture-wise, how is it worth the extra asspain (shitty computer system to keep up, 69000 spreadsheets and databases, hours of extra time spent by the crews to track it all)? - Worst/Funniest/Most Embarassing Tattoos
