  1. Big 2 on W.O. Wrights. Good drinks and pretty good wing selection. As an addition, the Fox and Hound routinely has Dave Chappelle stop by Tuesday nights, or rather Wednesday morning, around 1am (from what we were told). Didn't get to Ops Test it, but we ran into him at 2am at The Pub the following night/morning.
  2. I don't know why everyone is so upset. This is obviously the best choice for Immigration control.
  3. I earned a slot as a 1Chuck. However, I never deployed as I got picked up as soon as I finished Tech School. Can't really offer too much info about the job post tech school, but if you have any questions about Basic, Tech School, or the pilot thing in general, shoot me a PM. I'll try to offer any advice I can.
  4. I'd say if you have the means and really want better vision, not just as a means to get a pilot slot, then do it. Best case, you score an interview and get selected. By the time it takes for your packet to go through NGB and get dates for your FCI, you would probably be very close to being over the wait period. Deaddebate can correct if needed, but I thought you had to have a minimum of 6 months between surgery and your FCI.
  5. Capital, State, and Magnolia are all on base. Audobon Cove is an off base location. If you are looking for on base, the Cove is a non-factor.
  6. Really? Although with some of the shit they were throwing around in their monthly newsletter, it's not too far out of the realm of possibilities. Eh, 'em. Stay somewhere else.
  7. Audobon Cove was pretty nice. Lots of studs so there were always places to drink and it was an easy walk back to your own house. Pool was great in the summertime but management changed halfway through my time there, and they got a little more strict with drinking at the pool.
  8. It should be about $400 when all said and done if you don't find a used one. Little nugget of info, try and find a way to borrow someone's 2d Lt shoulder boards. There is no good reason to buy a set of $46 boards when you are only going to have them for 2 years. I saw mixed at AMS. I was on Title 10, while I saw a lot of people on Title 32. Not sure if it was related to this or not, but everyone that was going for a rated slot was on Title 10 while some of the other people going for Mx Officer/Wx Officer were on Title 32, but YMMV.
  9. Yes remove your Prior E rank. You wear OC rank on your collar if you are in a leadership position.
  10. Applewood Smoked Bacon with a nice line of fat on the meat is the way to go. Cut it up before into pieces before adding.
  11. Math: The Easy Way was money for me in the math section: http://books.google.com/books/about/Math_the_Easy_Way.html?id=G7iWwKNE0DAC You may be able to find a .pdf version online as well.
  12. So I'm sitting here re-watching The Pacific on HBO and wanted to know if anyone had read the two memoirs that it was primarily based on, and if they are worth the read. With the Old Breed:At Peleliu and Okinawa by Eugene Sledge Helmet For My Pillow by Robert Leckie
  13. My intel unit kept me up to date as to when things were sent away and processed.
  14. Mine was similar. Began the process end of June '13, interview end of July '13, and was adjudicated 15 Oct '13.
  15. Thoughts and prayers. http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/23/us/vintage-plane-crashes-texas/index.html I almost went for a ride this past weekend when I was in Galveston visiting the wife's family.
  16. Just my .02ยข, but I took a computer with me in 2011 and didn't use it at all. It just took up extra space in my security drawer. The CD-RW's are definitely helpful with not being able to use flash drives, but as with everything, YMMV.
  17. Audubon cove. Live off base as unaccompanied. Submit a Family Separation Form and get $125/month for not having your family living with you. Check out the BAH rates for your present city compared to Columbus. Guaranteed that you will have more BAH for where you are coming from vs. what Columbus BAH gives you (~$900). Bank the extra money. Laugh all the way to the bank. But, YMMV. EDIT: In case I wasn't clear due to Friday night roll call, submit a waiver for your BAH to take the higher of the two locations (locations being primary residence and where you are attending UPT).
  18. Thread Revival. Moving to Tucson in October for the Viper B-course. Looking to rent a house for me and the wife. BAH will be around $1200. Can anyone recommend some updated locations, or does anyone have any houses they'd be willing to rent out?
