Sorry for the delay - it's back up. https://www.netwhores.org/Tweet_Rage.mpg Not every one at once!

Yeah, on Tuesday evening I'll set something up if you guys can hold on that long.

No, the directions aren't hard to understand or worded bad, you just need to realize you're in a [self-created] high-stress environment and you have to force yourself to read them calmly and fully so you don't get dinged for something stupid. Plus, since everything timed, it's sort of nice to take a little breather while reading the directions (not timed). [ 02. December 2004, 19:08: Message edited by: UPT-hopeful ]

Agreed with CAVOK. Read the directions. Then read them again. If anything, it breaks up the time from you being all stressed out from trying to perform well. Just stay calm. Don't worry about how well/awful you're doing.

Play video games. Get good night of rest the night before. Eat a good breakfast. We're not allowed to talk about the specifics of the test. Many a thread has been started on how to perform well on the BAT, search throughout the forums and you'll come up with something.

The film director Michael Moore is such a "no-talent ass-clown" I feel sorry for ya M2. Do you at least go by Mike or maybe your middle name?

I graduate in May, but I've held at least one job (up to three during one semester) throughout my college career. I'm a comp sci major and all of the jobs I've had were related to that. Some IT and some programming. In either case, these jobs helped me in school because I got to put what I learned into real practice. That being said, if you can find something in a field that is related to your major you will help your studies by practicing what you've been taught. I'm sure everybody will have something different to say, but as you've noted you don't want to get too far away from your books. On a related note -- I've found it best to try and work for a smaller, more personal company. They will often be more willing to give you days off to study for tests and/or leave early on some days. I did work for UPS for a semester and my manager was very willing to let me go for whole days sometimes to study... It will help you apply for a job as an intern and let them know that you are a college student (remind them if necessary) and they will work with you. In all cases, be very upfront about your schedule during the interview process and throughout. When you tell them your availability at the beginning you obviously want to be competitive, but you have to be realistic. If you are taking a full load of classes and will need at least 5 hrs a week to study, figure that in where you need it. Also (very important) if you have to drive some distance to work, make sure you figure that in as well. You don't want to miss a big test or assignment due date because you had to drive 45 mins from work. In that same thread, I know many a college student who got jobs on campus so they were never too far away. And obviously these jobs realize you're a student and will work with you. Sorry for being long winded. Hope that helps. I know money is a big issue for a lot of people out there, but you have to always have your priorities straight. You have to go to class and do well. One of my roommates is a work-a-holic and will be entering his 7th year (for his BS STILL) because he's done so poorly in classes. Especially if you're wanting to be in AF, keep your grades up. #1 priority. If money is still an issue once you do get a job... Remember, you're in college. Learn to live like a poor person. My freshman year I literally ate PB&J sandwiches and crackers to save cash. gotta love it. [ 07. November 2004, 15:33: Message edited by: UPT-hopeful ]

Sure thing!

It *may* be because the whole file isn't there yet; although when I d/l only have of it it was pretty flawless. You may think it's choppy because most of the T-37 scenes are sped up to add some intensity ;) At any rate, this file should only be played off your harddrive as streaming 77 megs is going to suck anyway you cut it. Unless you happen to have an extra DS 3 or OC 192 laying around. And BTW, it's done uploading now. [ 01. November 2004, 22:19: Message edited by: UPT-hopeful ]

It's got a few more megs of the upload... JS said he'll upload some more videos soon.

Tweet Rage Right click and Save As. Enjoy. (Give it a few more mins, hasn't finished uploading yet from JS). [ 01. November 2004, 21:47: Message edited by: UPT-hopeful ]

That was me, check your PM in a min.

I saw this airplane on Discover Wings, a small blurb about how the designers wanted to use this as a supersonic bizjet-esque type replacement. Hardly seems reasonable to me (at least at this point).

Sorry! My father is retiring from DAL this weekend so I was at home with the family discussing things and completely missed the post from C5Heavy. Here are the relevant links: HTML Page Actual WMV file You can use the first link if you need to, but most people can right click on the second link directly and select "Save As". If anyone needs any help, let me know! I'm d/l from it right now at about 300k/sec so it should be fast for most people. As I've said earlier, I've got gigs and gigs of bandwidth, so tear it up folks! On a side note - if anybody is worried about getting popped by an IT dept. because of the domain name either d/l it from home or let me know and I can put it on a different domain. For the record, there isn't any questionable material on that domain. Thanks to C5Heavy for the WMV file. [ 29. October 2004, 12:48: Message edited by: UPT-hopeful ]

I read it. You're not crazy.

Good day, I am wondering if the people I am getting letters of recommendation from have to individually print and sign 25 copies of each letter. I am obviously applying to multiple units in order to increase my chances. The first person I got a letter from just emailed me the .doc (so it's not even signed). What do you do in this type of situation? Have them sign 1 copy then just make photocopies of it and send the copies in your packet? The FAQ did cover this slightly but it didn't really fully answer my question. Thank you for your time.
