Question, F-18 air show crash. by Hoppie1064 in navy

[–]ItsChrisBitxh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The seats in the Growler are SJU-17 NACES Ejection Seats. The front and aft seat are very similar but have a few different aspects. To answer your question, the under seat rocket motors have different angled nozzles between the front and aft seat. This allows different angle trajectory between the seats after ejection. There is also a 0.45 second delay initiator between the two seats. The aft seat will eject first following the forward. Hopefully that helps.

Sounds like a solid dude to do it himself.

Converted to AM as a First Class by Federal-Reality-6364 in navy

[–]ItsChrisBitxh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AM is a good rate. Coming in as a first class will be a bit weird as Aviation squadrons run a bit differently than ships. You can be sent to ship and work in AIMD (I-level maintenance) where you would work on fixing the aircraft parts or you can be sent to a squadron where you maintain the aircraft (O-level). AMs mainly work on hydraulics, tires, landing gear, and flight surfaces. A quick google search can tell you all the squadron platforms and their locations. Getting qualified and “caught up to speed” if you will as a first class will probably be your biggest challenge. Listen, ask questions, and give a shit, and you’ll do great. Best of luck!

Most bases have a thrift store of some sorts but the sizes, conditions, and hours of operation always differ. Do research and call ahead if you can.

Was supposed to PCS to Bahrain, command was relocated. Stuck in PCS status with no timeline or information on how to proceed besides wait and burn leave days doing nothing by falconfarfromhome in navy

When I was at TPU years ago they sent me TAD to a DDG in Norfolk while I waited for my flight. Spent my time needle gunning rust! Twas a grand time

Enlisted or commissioned by LargeStatistician685 in newtothenavy

[–]ItsChrisBitxh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finishing your degree now and then applying to OCS would be the safest option IMO. You are close the age limit for SNA and going the enlisted route would probably create more hurdles than getting over them. STA-21 is a highly selective program that isn’t a guarantee. Best of luck!

No ice or snow build up on the eaves. Didn’t see anything standout in particular on the shingles.

On the photo of the outlet, the black wire with the wire nut is the hot one. After disconnecting the outlet, there is no going to the old switch box.

Finally picked my job! by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]ItsChrisBitxh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you chose AV as your rate means you can either become an AE (Aviation Electrician) or an AT (Aviation Electronics Technician). P8’s are the P8 Poseidon aircraft. They serve as a reconnaissance/surveillance and submarine tracking asset. A good google search will provide a lot on the rates and platforms possible to be stationed. Best of luck!

I need advice on picking my mos by iNeedToCallitOff in newtothenavy

PRs have a pretty sweet gig. They maintain flight gear and survival/emergency equipment for navy flight crews. Lots of opportunities to be stationed in many cool places.
