D'oh! I checked the wrong profile before I gave you some static...didn't realize you wore the blue & gold.
I officially take back my "piehole" comment.For folks on my dive team that were 2nd class guys, they didn't speak of it as such a struggle, comparatively...they went through around '90 and '92, so maybe things got harder?
And getting back to some of the previous posters' on having chest candy...what is wrong with going to a challenging school, getting some good training on the Navy's dime? Especially if you could do it instead of spending 6 weeks stashed somewhere hanging out doing paperwork.
Yeah, but those were straight P-3s, not Queer EP-3s.
You are just jealous you were not as.....ahem.......'well hung'.......
Amen. Like I said ... I did it "to prove" something to myself. Sure beats a lot of the multi-colored "candy" I see floating around on some chests today ..... and at the time, it -- Jump Wings -- was considered "above and beyond" what was required for a MID.
To put it into perspective ... "they" reside somewhere in some drawer today .... too much "candy" can give you cavities ...

Not saying things got harder, but maybe easier for SCUBA. Like Webmaster said, it was 13 weeks back then so it must have been a more serious school. It was only 5 weeks in '96. Who knows. They have completely raped that school now anyway, making it an 'A' school. I have a buddy there that's an instructor and he said they don't even get their pins out of it now. They leave as ND's and earn the pin through PQS once they get to their dive locker. Must save someone some money...
My MAD boom is longer than your MAD boom.....You are just jealous you were not as.....ahem.......'well hung'.......
....and we didn't have a giant boob instead of a bomb bay.....

That's not a giant boob, it's a really big banana hammock.......
Which leads us back to the Queer thing.....That's not a giant boob, it's a really big banana hammock.......
As funny as that is, this thread is quite dead. We've established that SCUBA school is way easier than it used to be, it was never harder than deep sea diving by a long shot, nondivers only go for the chest candy (it's your judgment wheher that's feasible or not), and even though we're not allowed to ask if P-3s are queer, we certainly can suspect it.
Gotta love when a ground pounder sticks his 2 cents in without even knowing the history behind the whole Queer A-6 / Queer P-3 thing....
Still, he sums up 3 pages worth of posts pretty nicely.
Who are you calling queer?
Just noticed he has brown shoes. Is that what most Navy NFOs wear under their flight suits, Flash?
(Yeah, I said it.)
