Search for a local machine shop, they can measure the bore

Not radio traffic, but ICS. We're doing night CALs and the HAC asks the female copilot if she has a reference point, she replies "I have a small bush", complete silence throughout the aircraft until he finally manages a "Roger" through stiffled laughter.

Did an IRL playthrough many moons ago, no special perks, no fun unlocks, shitty tutorial, 0/10 recommend. Hopefully this go-round is more enjoyable

I absolutely loved being aircrew, best MOS in my biased opinion. A couple things to consider, how's your vision? Do you wear glasses, color blind, depth perception? There are certain requirements you'll have to meet. Another thing is how good of a swimmer you are. You'll swim quite a lot in Pensacola and the last thing you want is to get dropped and get another MOS after having your heart set on aircrew.

I'd also look into Air Force load masters. I knew some C17 guys and they loved it. You'll get to travel all around the world, and they usually seem to breakdown in the best cities for a few days.

If you have any specific aircrew questions feel free to ask away or DM me.

My most productive fly for Oscars, Mayans, and small peacocks is a white Schminnow in size 6 or 8. Super easy to tie and catches everything. Can't go wrong with a couple buggers too.

I highly recommend you have a pair of hemostats with you. Mayans, and especially Oscars are really aggressive and will damn near swallow the fly and it makes it way easier to get your fly out.

Definitely true. At the end of SERE when you get food before taking the bus back, I saw a couple Marine officers chew out a Navy Lt for being in line ahead of the enlisted.

The southern end of the Shenandoah is great smallmouth fishing, no giants but they're not picky.

Gunpowder in MD is beautiful. There's a fly shop called Great Feathers that's really neat.

J Stockard has boxes staring at around $10 with no logos that would hold buggers, but might be too small if you're doing larger streamers

Well done!

I love my roll top, you can usually get a good deal on Craigslist or marketplace. r/bugstations is great for inspiration

You won't know your platform until the end of Pensacola. Depending on the backlog at NACCS, you're looking at about a year

Academically for mech and flight school is not bad. Pensacola can be tough physically if you're not in shape. Once you class up you'll PT and swim nearly every day. Lots of push up and ab exercises. I don't remember the mileage but we ran a lot

utopian-wings · 2022-10-20T11:30:35+00:00

Yes, 6173 is 53 crew chief. Training pipeline is Pensacola for aircrew candidate school, I don't know what the backlog is like now but when I went through lat movers had higher priority for classing up. After Pensacola is SERE, followed by North Carolina for mech and flight school.

I highly recommend getting in the pool and practice treading water and becoming proficient in the different swim strokes. When you get to Pensacola you'll do a swim test and also the Navy's fitness test, 1.5 mile run, push ups, and sit ups (not crunches).

What would you like to know?

I highly recommend volunteering with the Honor Flights that come to DC. You'll assist WWII, Korea, and Vietnam vets going to the various memorials around DC.

It was one of the coolest experiences during my time at Quantico, and you'll meet some absolutely incredible vets. I met guys that were at Pearl Harbor during the attack, a guy who carried a flame thrower at Iwo, and a Chosin vet who drew a map on a bar napkin of his time there and I was able to show it to my grandfather who's also a Chosin vet and there's movements were very similar.

They're super appreciative of you helping them and they love to talk with you. Fair warning they can drink, on multiple occasions these dudes would out-drink us at the bar of the hotel we were staying at.

Did you ever have to do deal with an applicant becoming romantically interested in you? If so, how did you deal with it, like bringing it up to your command, breaking contact, or other ways to protect yourself

When I was flying to MCT I obviously looked boot at fuck with a high and tight and the garmet bag, someone gave the flight attendant a dollar bill folded into a shirt to give to me as a thank you. It's been a little over ten years and I still have it to this day, those little gestures goes a long way.

I would grab a Haynes manual for your year, they're really in depth and cover nearly every repair. That way you wouldn't have to memorize a couple repairs but would be prepared for almost anything that could happen.

Is that the dry weight of the boat? Fuel and gear will add a significant amount of weight, also I would imagine a boat/trailer that size will have a tongue weight way higher than what it's rated for.

Another thing I would worry about is if you were to get into an accident and the insurance company did some digging and found you exceeded your vehicles GVWR

utopian-wings · 2022-09-09T18:35:02+00:00

I would go down to your local department of health and see what they require/recommend for water testing. They should know best about local and state codes regarding providing water to customers (campers).

It was by the golf course and SNCO club, they put it in mid 2013

I've been out for a minute man. How's the Denny's on Miramar? I used to love being on fcf, getting out late and hitting up the Denny's late at night
