    Question For The Navy Folks

    That's what I was thinking when I first read this thread. So what happens if you get back in and make it through primary but don't select jets (assuming jets is your first choice)? Quit again? Or say you DO get jets but get Prowlers. Quit then? You can pontificate all you want about how you have...

    Overhead at Civilian Fields

    Not saying it makes them right, but New River is a helo/Osprey base with a C-12 or two in the mix. Maybe that's why they're so touchy about speed. Also, the AP 1 mentions "strict adherence" to course rules for noise abatement. I was at New River for five years when I was enlisted. I don't...

    Marine Aviation Question

    We'll be sticking with the Prowler least until I retire. There is not one mention of the E/A-18 in AVPLAN 2005. Not saying it won't happen, but I'll be long gone by the time it does.

    Marine Aviation Question

    My future airframe-Prowlers. The T-6 is the Texan II, right now used mainly for training NFOs but also used at Vance AFB to train pilots. Like Zippy said, the T-45 is replacing the T-2 for pilots, but NFOs still train in the T-2. It's still done in thirds with the quality spread in place, but...

    Funny stuff on the radio...

    Heard this one in Orlando a couple weeks ago: Cessna: Approach, Cessna 123 is doing aerial photography, we'd like to work area number two. Approach: You want to work area number two, then what would you like to do? Cessna: We'd like to stay here for about ten minutes then work area one for...

    T38 Student doesnt turn heat off vid

    Germany, Italy, and Singapore are the most common here. And yes there are quite a few of them. Don't know how the T-38 is set up, but with the T-6, there is only one temp control and it is in the front cockpit. All the person in the back controls is his/her own blower speed.

    Any traffic in the area please advise!!!!!

    At what point did I say there was anything wrong with any of it? In fact, I gave an example of what I use.

    Any traffic in the area please advise!!!!!

    How many of you die hards who are so vehemently opposed to "checking in" or "with you" say "good morning/afternoon/evening" to controllers? Sure it's polite and might inspire some good feelings between you and the controller but it takes just as long and creates just as much 'congestion' as the...

    Hurlburt Field

    I flew in/out of Destin a few times late last year. Every time we would taxi past the hangars a comment was made about those things sitting out there. Never saw them move, but they were definitely there. I sifted through my pictures from Destin, and have some overhead shots of the city and the...

    $125K Navy Pilot Bonus

    Isn't attriting from flight school considered failing to meet your initial warfare qual? Maybe I'm getting something confused here. For a while NROTC was commissioning some people with a weird designation 1195T or something like that. Which from the way it was explained to us was essentially...

    $125K Navy Pilot Bonus

    There was that big IRAD a couple of years ago, where 400 or so officers just got notices that they would be out of the Navy on X date. That was mainly aimed at junior officers, people who hadn't been commissioned too long. Also during that time people who attrited from flight school were pretty...

    ROTC, OTS, and which branch?

    You can also do PLC-Combined and knock out OCS in one 10 week summer session. That second trip to OCS...yeah, not the greatest time ever.

    ROTC, OTS, and which branch?

    Some of our AFROTC seniors explained it to me like this: Everybody shows up freshman year wanting to be a pilot. Then they figure out how competitive it is (like you said). So by junior or senior year, whenever they do their service selection or whatever it's called, there are only a few...

    ROTC, OTS, and which branch?

    I'm willing to bet there's more to the story than that. There are a few ways to lose your flight slot, if you don't hold up your end of the contract (poor choice of words on my part earlier calling it a guarantee) the Marine Corps won't hold up theirs. You fail the flight physical, or fail any...

    ROTC, OTS, and which branch?

    There seems to be a good bit of 'advice' coming from people who have no military experience. Interesting. And ROTC worthless? ROTC? AFROTC? Or NROTC? I guess at least part of that depends on the quality of the active duty staff (and students) where you go to school. We were active in the...

    Little/no wait for CG aviation aircrew schools

    If you're basing that question off the above message, it's aimed at enlisted maintenance techs/aircrew, not pilots.

    Naval IFS

    I thought IFS was a nice break from the normal routine. More fun than anything else. Sure I learned from it, but I'm not sure if it's worth what it costs per student. Of course, I did it at DTS so the scenery was nice, and the instructors weren't out to break anybody. Can't say that of all the...

    Naval IFS

    According to the instruction it's not authorized. We had to sign an agreement saying we wouldn't participate in any flying other than IFS while in IFS.
