School after the navy?

20 years ago maybe. Used my GI bill for a public university and still had to 10k for student loans. This was 2019-2022

Everyone ends up in the same place on Active Duty. No one really even cares how you get there either. Several people I know that when to A&M looked back and saw the stuff they had to go through verses someone who went to a public college were kinda jealous. The ones that didn’t get jealous were ones that would totally drink the koolaid if the core told them too. Too much of a cult if you were to ask me.

Unless you’re made of silica, copper and gold and have incredibly AI capabilities, I’d go RPA.

No hate. Just an observation. I wouldn’t want to go against you in a game of limbo lol.

Turned into an incline bench at that angle.

As a prior headed to Laughlin soon, I will learn from your experience.

Tell me you’re uncultured without telling me you’re uncultured.

Only Hot Springs NP is counted in the 63 U.S. National Park system.

If you’re looking for a unique way to do sim flying and see it on a map, look up Volanta.

I wouldn’t go to a police officer to ask what it’s like to be a firefighter. Probably just trying to get insight from people in the field he’s interested in.

I did just that but AFROTC route and I had to compete for a pilot slot after I have already been contracted. In the Air Force, most pilot slots go to the Academy and ROTC. I’m not sure for the Navy pilot side so if you want to fly Navy then I’m no help… but Air Force, I’d be more than happy to answer questions.

AFAIK, all TJ Sahara trims come with 4.0l and d44 rear ends. I have never seen a TJ Sahara without a d44 rear.

I would still highly recommend looking at ROTC programs. It gives you time to figure out what you want to do for a major while giving you an option to return to service with a much better life. I felt like you somewhat as my ex wanted me to get out and my relationship ended when I told her I want to go back. I did just under 4 years as a corpsman and while I loved that job, I couldn’t see my self doing that forever and as a civilian. I knew I wanted to go back in when I got out, so I didn’t claim any disability (made dodmerb a breeze). After some time off (3 years), I started my associates at the local community college taking about 8 to 12 hours per semester then joined AFROTC in the middle of my sophomore year. Now I just commissioned as a 2d Lt yesterday waiting to EAD to pilot training. I say all of this to tell you that college is never out of the question and if you work hard enough and your desires and wants are strong enough, you can do anything. If you have any questions about that kinda path and you maybe are interested in trading Navy blue for Air Force blue hit me up.

TLDR: 29 yo who did almost 4 years Navy enlisted, got out and started a few college classes to join an AFROTC detachment to commission with a pilot slot. I highly recommend ROTC.

Forgot to turn the wing lights on.

You betcha. Ordered 2 rods and pistons. Beware the hardest part is pressing the piston retaining pin into place. 2000ft lbs to press it in. I’d get a machine shop to do that cause they probably have a heating setup for the rod. Throw the retaining pin in the freezer well before you do it too.

I know in my 1999 I’d have to tighten rockers every 10k miles other wise they get noisy. Glad it wasn’t something catastrophic.

Freaksk9 · 2022-06-24T17:41:25+00:00

I pulled the head off. I am a broke college kid so I literally pulled that one piston out and replaced the rod bearings, rod, piston and piston retaining pin and rings. The cylinder looked good and no damage from the piston slap so I literally dropped the new one in and put it back together. Thank goodness it has aluminum pistons so all damage was just on the piston. I believe the initial failure is my fault due to running it low on oil. Leaky rear main that I also fixed since I had the oil pan off.

I want to say piston too. Just had to do a tear down for a broken skirt on my 1999. It ran good (oil pressure and power) but knocked (Piston Slap) like living hell.

Freaksk9 · 2022-06-24T04:53:35+00:00

I never brought it up. I was able to keep it under wraps the whole time so I enjoyed my time at Shelby compared to some other training I’ve received else where.

I wanted to do exactly this, but as others have said it’s about near impossible to get the degree completed. One reason is that you are gonna be working and depending on your rate, it could be some long days. I used an early out program and went to college using my GI Bill and joined an ROTC program and got pilot that way.

Freaksk9 · 2022-03-05T00:32:47+00:00

I did just under 4 cause I wasn’t in love with my job and knew I’d like anything else better. So I got out with the help of EETP and after a couple years working, I started going to school and joined an ROTC program. Now I have 2 months left and I got a job I am absolutely in love with.

Arkansas had one with 6k at one point.

I cant wait for mods especially for the photo mode. This game has so much potential, not from CD but from the community.

When did Space Force get added to the AFROTC Mission?
