  1. makes great sense! thanks for the further info. I have heard of some dude getting deviated septums fixed post FC1 so i wasnt sure how big a deal it was. seems like most people have a deviated septum to some slight degreee. as to mine, honestly i get maybe a sinus infection once a year or two and even then they are probably just bad colds lol. never understood what enlarged turbinates meant... i have a huge honking nose so i would assume other anatomical structures within the nose would be large as well? i think youre spot on with the "clinical symptoms" part. seems like theres no way to know, one docs clinical symptoms is another everyday normal am i right? thanks again for the insight guys, going to put off "cometic/quality of life stuff" (thats literally how the doctor phrased it, which is what gave me pause at getting it done in the first place - chunk out thousands for something not needed...)
  2. @griswald where is that picture? looks like a small strip i know near casa grande
  3. lol ... it burns half the fuel just taking off and needs to be refueled by a kc-10
  4. makes sense... honestly i hate how medicine has become commercial, this all stems from when i got my tonsils removed 5 years ago and the ENT tried to get me to get my sinus fixed too. i swear it feels like car shopping when you go to the doctors now, trying to upsell you on everything even if you dont need it. the flip side, you pay through the nose (pun intended) for everything that you actually DO need...
  5. thanks for the heads up, the doc stated surgery would be more quality of life vs medically necessary so ill hold off. honestly its not bad, its just end of the year and with my civilian, use it or loose it healthcare , i was thinking now would be the best time with my deductible paid off. looking at the regs and never having broken my face i dont see any think on there that accurately describes what im experiencing follow up, is the whole issue surrounding this the risk of barotrauma ?
  6. if its not obvious by now that they are waiting for Lockheeds proposal for a joint service stealth tanker then i dont know what to say. ;)
  7. yes nasal septum. ive never "officially" broken my nose, but i have been hit in the face a couple times by various sports equipment and body parts. running is not bad, i just notice when im breathing i have to more forcefully breath through my nose but its not bad, i attribute more to me not conditioning as much at this point. the real issue is sleep, get very congested if i sleep on my left side to the point that i will wake up at times. doctors dont think its affecting my health, but i have noticed more congestion on that side of my head (nasal) especially behind and around my eye leading to some eyestrain.
  8. So two parter, is having a deviated septum a DQ condition and would i have more hoops to jump through if i had it fixed before FC1 vs waiting, getting cleared, and fixing it afterward? i only ask because my FC1 date keeps moving further and further and would like to get it fixed if able.
  9. off topic (slightly?) when do they post the new FY class dates?
  10. bold first post ... you dont even need to search, there are literally FOUR posts talking about the guard flying lifestyle right on the first page... TWO of them specifically talk about "heavies"
  11. word, do you handle all the job postings or is there a employers area where they can sign up and post the jobs themselves?
  12. looks great, maybe a filter for military vs civilian jobs then use the checkmark/radio buttons to choose the subset group
  13. ditto, i can in no way shape or form match the chop-busting mastery that is rainman
  14. agreed, hes very up and down, but his recent status on the armed services committee will be interesting, especially since hes about to go all KC-767 all over the F-35s ass. and DOUBLE agree on the last two... sheep's clothing man. it could be worse, you could be living in michigan ;)
  15. but you do anyways If by gold mine, you mean run by a one man show where you post your skewed vision of what the air force SHOULD be, meanwhile you drive around in your POS eclipse being a general douchenozzle terrorizing local cops as a sociopathic one man constitution crusader in a car that is designed to electrocute anyone who touches the door. RTFA 10percent is that better ? ;) KClove - if you can handle the chop busting on this forum youre well on your way :)
  16. meh, i think mccain gets a lot of flak from people that only know him from overly televised BS. I while he doesn't kow-tow to the defense contractors, i wouldnt say he wasnt pro-military. my $0.02
  17. x2 or at least build up some hours. if your working towards it, thats better then 0 stick time.
  18. at the risk of being burned at the stake, WC isnt a terrible place to get some information and its good to soak up all the intel you can. that being said, you need to look at your information sources and the schizophrenic caped-crusaders that may or may not post it
  19. fair enough.... but i find it funny you want to go fighters with a name like Herc85 ;) happy hunting
  20. the best shot at becoming a pilot is going after a pilot slot.
  21. so let me get this straight: you get an RPA drop in ROTC and you wanted pilot, so you ask if you should go join the guard or reserve as a CSO?
  22. seriously sweet tip. also google search boolean operators to learn how to narrow your results even further
  23. she will lose, barber is a lock in the blue south... wouldnt be surprised if she lost by the same margin as last time.
  24. that was more a jab at the op not googling it then the OPSEC discussion. if they dug through google to find this place, im sure they would have found that article eventually
  25. LOL to the OPSEC worries and then Google blowing it out of the water with a complete list.... There is no privacy on the interwebz
