MCO

I've seen 2. One is the FAIP short bus, and some class has a short bus painted like a T-6.

I did the same thing, when I got to ASBC at Maxwell. A random E-4 saluted me and i stopped him, and he gave me a big WTF look. Then I dug out my silver dollar and gave it to him and told him he was my first salute. He got the biggest smile, said "Thanks ell tee!" saluted again and walked into the BX. I found out later my grandpa did the exact same thing back when he was commissioned in 1948.

And my friends said ERAU was way better, and airlines hire guys with less then minimum time just for ERAU grads... Plus 35% of all airline pilot went to Riddle and it's not -30F half of the year. Obviously Riddle is a better choice. *sarcasm off*

When I went to my dodmerb I told them I had taken it in HS and that was the last I ever heard of it, and I know of at least 2 others in ROTC with me that took it and never had any issues with their medicals. Just get the required blood work done, and don't let the doctor keep you on it for longer then 6 months. I personally have never heard of eyes being an issue, and mine are better then 20/20 even though i was on it in HS. However, ignorance is bliss and maybe I just didnt catch the doc say anything about it affecting your eyes.

At Columbus, they wouldnt even issue us flight suits for IFS... we had to get our flight suits from IFS once we got to Pueblo...

unless you go on active duty pretty quick... then its the same day as the Academy graduation... I had heard of this but wasn't sure about it till I checked and my DOR and it was 2 days after I came on active duty... the same day the Academy graduated... Apparently ROTC can not have a DOR earlier then then Academy from the same year...

pilot slots are completely seperate from non-rated... Everyone is on equal footing for the rated board... how the non-rated stuff works I couldn't tell you.

There are pro's and con's to every school. If you're looking to be at a school where almost everyone there is interested in aviation, whether they are ROTC or not, then its not a bad place at all. However, like most technical schools, the girl to guy ratio pretty much sucks. i was an Aero Sci major at ERAU Daytona... if you have any specific questions about the place send me a PM.

I talked to my landlord today and she said she doesnt let new Lt.'s break their leases. I tried to find a military orders clause in my lease but I couldnt, so i think my roomates and I are SOL.
