    AFIT--questions...

    These questions aren't related to flying. I'm wondering how the Air Force Institute of Technology works. If you go into the Air Force as an engineer, how soon does grad school become an option? Do you have a lot of leeway in choosing where to study? How much will the Air Force pay in...

    Succeeding in AFROTC

    Hey, I am enrolled in the AFROTC Detachment 860 at Utah State University. I'm a freshman majoring in electrical engineering. My goal is to be awarded a pilot slot. Could anyone provide me some guidance and insight on how to be a successful cadet and to be a competitive pilot slot candidate...

    Freight

    I'm applying to the U.S. Naval Academy and am still waiting to hear from them about my status. It's looking good, but I'm feeling out my options just in case I'm rejected. I'm looking for a school that offers accelerated Instrument and Commercial ME training at a reasonable price. I was...

    High BP...Help!

    I'm applying to the U.S. Naval Academy and my chances of getting in are looking very bright. One problem: I have high blood pressure, around 145 over 95. I never realized I had this until I did the DoDMERB medical. Only 4 % percent of people my age have it, and once you get it, it's...

    Depth Perception (Again)

    Found out recently that all aspects of my vision are fine, except possible depth perception. I got 60 seconds of arc on the test with 3D glasses. Anyone know what the minimum required is?

    Helicopter Add-on

    I'm a PP ASEL and am interested in getting a helicopter add-on. Can anyone tell me what's involved in getting it? Will I need to take another written or go on any more cross-countries?

    NROTC

    It sounds like it's a pretty sure bet I'll be getting an NROTC scholarship, which I'll use if I can't get into the Academy. A few questions: 1) Does it pay for EVERYTHING? 2) How does it compare to the USNA? 3) If I went to ERAU on this, would the scholarship also pay for some flight time?

    Democrat Debate

    Anyone watch this sorry display last night on CNN? Aside from the usual Bush-bashing, there was, well, more Bush-bashing. I heard a few of their ideas, nothing special. I tried picturing one of them as president...couldn't do it. Kerry, maybe. Sharpton, ha! They're dead in the water.

    See Clearly Method

    Thinking of purchasing the set. Pretty heft price ($350), so I'm looking for some opinions. Could it improve my depth perception, refractive error, 4 diopters of esotropia? Thanks.

    Vision Therapy

    Long story short: had strabismus, had surgery, strabismus gone, good visual accuity, decided I wanted to go into the Navy or Air Force, took DODMERB physical, failed depth perception test, have 4 diopters of esotropia, life sucks. Reading about this online, I came upon this thing called "vision...

    College student challenges TSA

    CURT ANDERSON Associated Press WASHINGTON - The government on Friday ordered intensified security checks of the entire U.S. commercial air fleet after small plastic bags containing box cutters and other suspicious items were found on two Southwest Airlines planes.

    Depth Perception Tests

    Went down to Nellis AFB today to take my DODMERB medical for the service academies. Did well except for vision. 20/17 uncorrected vision. Passed Red Lens Test, Cover Test, Ocular Motility (or whatever it is), but failed the depth perception with the circles. I got the first two right (after...

    Class B Airspace Question

    We were flying through Las Vegas Class B Airspace today and told to "descend at your discretion." At the time we were on a heading of 190 at 6,500. I descended to 5,500 because we were getting close to our destination, Henderson, and I didn't want to make a drastic descent to get to TPA...

    Cool destinations in west/southwest.

    I'll be taking my checkride for my Private Pilot's License in a few weeks and after that I'll be building PIC cross-country time for my Instrument rating. Anyone know of any really neat places to go to? Any that offer unique challenges? I'm based out of Southern Utah, so anything within a 400...

    Best Flight Simulator

    I recently read an article in Time magazine (I was really really bored and I'll never do it again, I promise!) about some nutcase who created X Plane. The guy worked really hard to make an extremely accurate flight model, apparently much better than Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004's model...

    Ejection

    Could someone elaborate on what goes on when you eject? What kind of forces are exerted on the body? A USAFA grad spoke to us at Boys State and mentioned that he didn't know anyone that had ejected and not had a screwed-up spine afterwards. Is that true? Just curious. Thanks...

    ACT scores and the USAFA

    I've posted a lot on this in the past. I hope no one minds this question. I think I'll make a fairly competetive candidate because I am well-raounded. However, an ACT subscore worries me. The Academy Catalogue states that cadets with a Math/Science score below 26 will normally not be...

    Few questions about the USAFA

    1. Does the USAFA Admissions Board even care if you're working on a PPC since it's not a school-related activity? 2. I got a 29 on my ACT (33 English, 29 Math, 32 Reading, and 23 Science Reasoning). The Science Reasoning score has me a little worried because I read on www.academyadmissions.com...
