For the Navy, You will do tons of pre-deployment training (OTT, WUPS, MRI, trials) then go on your 7 month tour. The bonus in the Navy is that not all positions are entitled to an HLTA. Everybody in OP ATHENA Roto 0 (Kabul) went on HLTA regardless of there position. The way I look at it...

Navy Stoker?

I can only speak from what the two German Tornado pilots told me. Czech and Hungary are the only NATO Gripen holders (Janes). Czech has no MiGS on orbat so you must have been talking to some Hungarians. Unless you are talking about the USAF Aggressor Squadrons. I saw one close up in 2003 at...

I have no clue what CougarDaddy is talking about? I just was saying what I thought.

lets leave the DCOXN out of this!

S300's are the same as the SA-10's.( I just googled it) another forum?

Lebanese MIG -29's would not dare take on a Israeli Patriot battery! Lebanon does not MIG-29's they need some SA-10's. SA-10 is comparable to a Patriot (MIM-104) and would be a better deterrant for Team Israel. Hezbollah aka Iran has proven a worthy adversary with the use of UAV's and the C802.

you should have grabbed there Station Cards which means no Green & Gold :'( or CANEX privileges. You should have also revoked there "pop" privileges. True story, I saw one of my old instructors from Cornwallis yesterday at the SuperStore here in Sackvegas and I was petrified. I felt that I...

YES, the magic eight ball says so. The focus of the link was to show that this is not a new concept. (GW already alluded to this) Think of the single mother in the Navy who sails 270 days a year. This is not a tour but a sea going posting and the norm for 3-6 years depending on the trade/rank...

yelling, inspections...its the Airforce I am sure they have other ways of inducing stress. are they really making this a direct entry trade?

Found this article on WIKI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Culture_Kids I am an Army Brat and my kids are Navy Orphans, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
