Looking for feedback from current 200/250 Engineering/Tech Cadets that are on the 4 1/2 - 5 year plan in regards to EA selection. Curious to see how the selection rate was for cadets that will not be graduating/commissioning in 2016 due to being on 4 1/2 - 5 yr. plan compared with those...

Does anybody here have any experience with Kayaks? I live in a part of Long Beach, CA. that has a lot of inlets/canals/flood control channels on the land side of the harbor... that would allow for kayaking for a beginner like me WITHOUT all of the (fun) strong currents, rocks and danger and...

Looking for any info from the water cooler gossip to announcements from the head honchos in regards to this years EAs from those cadets at NatCon. What's the word?

Saw this article on airforcetimes and was curious if that is something that the military does very often....give away expensive machinery? Is there no allies that can afford to pay something for them. Giving them away when we are having so many budget cuts in the military just doesn't sit...

Just hoping that a new EA thread might help speed up EA announcements. At this point I ready to do anything that keeps me from bothering my DS as he goes into his LAST 4 weeks of classes before summer break. Helping FlyingWildcatDad root for UK can only keep me occupied for so many hours...

OK 7 more days until we find out whether we or out DS’s or DD’s get an EA. To help make the time go by how about joining in on a friendly debate of whether true leaders are born or made? And what makes a truly great leader? The following lists came from some different web sites on...

Am I the only person out here who believes that the officials need to investigate deeper into what the pilot was doing with the flight simulator that he had at his house. Could it be that it was less for recreational enjoyment and was actually for something more devious than just a hobby?? Or...

All right 200/250's and involved parents... I must have been dreaming about EA selection last night. I woke up humming a song that I had made up about 12 day's to EA announcements...It was similar in tune to the 12 days of Xmas. I'll spare you all with the details of how it went...but I...
