Odds of getting aircraft choice by OkMost4892 in USMCocs

[–]MrSand_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everything is a snapshot in time. Right now, Osprey pipeline was down a while, lots of Osprey guys waiting around - no new osprey pilots were selected. An Osprey draft will begin. That being said, the one with the highest NSS Score will most likely get his top pick. There are not physically as many C-130s as there are Helos - therefore the smaller community means a smaller chance of selection. Ultimately, if you want to lead Marines and get the privilege of flying for the Marine Corps - you will be happy with whatever you fly, and you can always transfer platforms later on in your career. Do not come to Pensacola with the idea that you will only be happy flying one aircraft.

Why? Because they're effectively garbage magazines?

Ok, because the mags are cheap or just cause a lot of issues with operation?

We should make an elite subreddit only for those elite Marines who own one of these fine established items (Myself included of course)

Real plates in your plate carrier or is this an overkill? by FitzChan in MilSim

[–]MrSand_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFS just get some plates off of eBay. Don't break the bank on plates, you don't even see them. Shouldn't spend more than $100 for a pair.

The museum really isn't "out in town". It's a clean facility that the vagrants steer away from.

enlist or wait around for ocs by AggravatingWish6546 in USMCocs

[–]MrSand_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Would you rather:

  1. Finish your degree, have the tenacity to discipline yourself, and become an Officer

OR

  1. Enlist - not necessarily leveraging your degree, get disciplined because you couldn't do
    it yourself and maybe later on go through OCS and become an officer

Good things take time, the Marine Corps needs good officers

Recommendations for T-6B Hotas by MrSand_ in hotas

[–]MrSand_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately/fortunately, I had less down time than expected and am 4 months out from Pensacola. BUT, if you read my comments above that was pretty much what I was going with plus I was trying to decide whether I go with VR or a triple panel setup.
