    Help! My parents don't want me to be a pilot after graduation. How do I convince them otherwise?

    If I could do it again I'd call my mother, mum.

    SEALs. Not just seals in the Arctic

    The reason I asked is before the SEALs 20-plus year land-locked mission in the Middle East, that part of the world was covered by SEAL Team Two. ST-2 belongs to Naval Special Warfare Group Two and its commodore, Captain Bill Gallagher, was quoted which indicates the previous global assignments...

    Why two of them? I don't know. I did it from my phone.

    The Everything Drawer - Everyone has one, right? (post anything - within the rules)

    Apparently I was sick nine years ago on this day and my wife sent me this. It’s easier today to post an assignment online from home but substitute teachers are scarce so it’s best just to go in sick and spread the disease.

    Welcome Aboard, Giovannny. I noticed on your intro post you said you are an academy grad. From which academy if you don't mind and what's your nationality?

    Help! My parents don't want me to be a pilot after graduation. How do I convince them otherwise?

    I've intentionally stayed off this thread but stumbled upon it while enjoying the pre-dawn silence. I fist pumped when DS told me he escaped the abyss of recruiting. Although the Marines always get their "Few Good Men" and women, and are the only military service that met quota last year, it's...

    SEALs. Not just seals in the Arctic

    I'm intrigued. Did you break through the ice in a submarine 30 years ago, deliver a package while riding a snowmobile, or fly the plane that dropped a package on the Arctic ice.

    Reasons to Go USNA……besides flying

    We're all good. Hopefully folks will chime in and add to your original post. I can think of dozens of reasons to attend the United States Naval Academy. The first reason that comes to mind however is: It sets one up for life. That reason is contradictory to what I regretfully said above but...

    @Just Dad thanks for your response but I was out of line. This isn't the first thread I've derailed. I don't need to comment on everything, especially the topics that don't concern me and here lately, ones I have no knowledge of outdated knowledge of. And likewise, I enjoy and respect your...

    Reasons to Go USNA……besides flying

    @justdad My apologies for the way it came across. I should have just liked your post and moved along. I shouldn't post anything on any forum while at work. I'm currently in a meeting and trying to keyboard this with my head spinning due to the idiocy of what my colleagues are saying. I should...

    Reasons to Go USNA……besides flying

    This is a hugely impactful and humble statement. My son's statement would be similar but different. Different in that he didn't get in any service academy. He truly wasn't ready then. He wandered in the wilderness of five colleges, chasing the sports dream, and finally graduated at the fifth...

    Anybody from the fleet gotten a response?

    I was on a ship out of Yoko a few decades ago. Loved it.

    The last time I checked the US is 36th in the world in math scores. 5 out of 4 people have trouble with math. 47 percent of online statistics are made up on the spot.

    I've been buying 88 octane at Sheetz for two years. It's a quarter to 30 cents cheaper than 87. People must think it's some weird alternative fuel. As for the lower fuel efficiency, I still get milage better than what the vehicle is rated for and it's 8 years old.

    Humor for my Navy and Marine friends

    Ha, they probably do. Two of my daughter's college friends were from Jersey and their families came down for a grad party at the house they shared for three years. They made the drive down OK but they spent a lot of time whining about a lot of stuff including having to pump their own gas to get...
