I like to keep my feet firmly planted to the ground.

Because I didn't go through 4 years of bullshit studying chemistry and physics to not go through another 5 years as a nuke.

Also on a deeper note, I wanted to be in charge of my own division, and you get a much more thorough connection with your men on a sub than in pretty much any other community.

>>34496395
Bro. I sat a lot...I mean a fucking lot, in phase, in that cockpit, working for hours, and the better part of days doing equipment on tests, pulling relays, and if you are able to fit a woman in there in a way she can straddle you; fuck it. No. There is no room. Maybe in the old Vikings and side by sides, but not a bug. not even a super bug. Fucking delusional navy pilots, your brains are as corroded as your damn ships you toxic avenger looking motherfucker.

OAR 57

Looks like I'll have to take the test again, or just accept literally any other role

Because they discontinued the Skyraider.

>>34496735
So, have there been instances where naval aviators have played mid air refuelling in a aircraft? I'm asking for a friend.

>>34496793
Suggestion for you ASTB bro: Read the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and brush up on your high school physics, especially simple machines.

I sat for the ASTB during my freshman year as a brand new Private Pilot and I got 8/8/9 (don't remember my OAR exactly but it was higher than 80)

>>34495038
Because I'm stuck at Intermediate while the T-45 fleet un-fucks itself.

It was my dream as a kid, honestly. Unfortunately my eyesight in one degree short of legal blindness.

>>34495038
Because I'm training to attempt to buy the ranger meme.

>>34497319

I thought 80 was the highest score... OAR is done similar to NSS where it's centered at 50 and 10 points is a standard dev, and they really don't give a shit beyond 3 stddev

>>34497351
Meridian or K-Rock?

>>34497319
>don't remember my OAR exactly but it was higher than 80
80 is the highest possible score, stop e-statting

Because I'm not a fucking faggot.

>>34496793
How hard are the tests?

>>34495046
this, and i'm too poor to afford laser eye surgery in time to make the ridiculously young age cutoff

>>34495048
Same but navy. Looking back. College then officer was the better decision.

>>34495038
Fat.
Bad eyes.
Can't follow directions for shit.
Have authority issues.
I'm old as fuck now anyway.

Otherwise seems like a good time.. was starting on my private pilots license and then 9/11 happened so I fucked right off.

>>34495038
I'm a grunt. Joining the US army aristocratic jousting team seems pretty fucking dumb when they aren't allowed to joust the other teams

>>34497319
OAR maxes out at 80 you fucking retard

>>34495038

>>34495038

>>34497351
How long have you been in intermediate? I feel like I've seen an anon post about being in T-45s for almost a year.

>>34497319
I'll check out that book, but I'm wary of taking advice from a liar

>>34497580
OAR isn't bad at all, I probably just didn't get in the 60's or 70's because the reading portion is mind-numbingly boring and I've never had much knowledge on mechanics or electrical work, both of those sections took almost the full amount of time while I finished the math with 12 or so minutes to spare.

For the ASTB-E section, I didn't do so hot on the UAV compass part because I didn't practice diagonal positioning, and the actual flying test will make you feel retarded no matter how good you are. Controlling one cursor with the throttle to line up with a vertically moving target while using the stick to line up with a 2D target floating around the screen and press buttons to correspond with even or odd numbers that you hear in the "designated" ear while ignoring the numbers you hear in the non-designated ear.

>>34503093
The military won't accept lasik because it fucks your night vision up, they use an alternate procedure that costs more and takes six months to recover, and I don't have 4k+ to drop on a gamble that would make me eligible for a chance to get an admittedly dream job that pays less than I make now

Thanks anon, I've read through this before but I guess I had a hard time of finding specific regulations for mental health. Do you know how feasible it is to actually get a waiver? If it makes a difference, it's been like 4 years since all of this happened.

>>34503824
No idea how feasible it is. Given what you described you may not need a waiver. Talk to a recruiter and see if you can't speak to a flight surgeon.

>>34495038
Because I have poor ankle dorsiflexion and I got btfo by MEPS. Did really well on the flight test, too.

>>34495038
My penis is to big to fit into the flight suit ;(

Because I fell for the Army memes... wait for it...

Twice.

No, in all seriousness, the feeling I get watching the sunrise/sunset covered in gear and dust/filth while resting my palms on my buttstock is just satisfying enough to keep me from obsessing over the money I could be making if I'd stayed in college the first time and kept doing AFROTC.

>>34506271
PPL matters for shit. It would make Primary easier for you but other than that nobody cares. LORs aren't true letters, they're forms you print off and they check boxes on whether or not you are reliable as a professional, be it student or worker. Do you not know three people you have worked with in your life?
