i remember when i started primary anyone that had a few pink sheets from API was called out to talk to the Training Wing 4 Stucon Officer. Just a little "you gotta study hard to make it through the program" type of thing. Unfortunately the Stucon Lt was some NFO attrite with big googly eyes so no one cared what he had to say.

DCLegal,
If your friend makes all 80's on his tests, he will be fine. He just has to get through the 4 weeks without failing a test and he is on his way. They don't drop guys for not setting records. There are minimum standards for a reason.

Hey! That's my motto! Looks like I'll do just fine.

Don't try that in Primary/Advanced. Even if you never UNSAT a flight and always make MIF you can still get an NSS below 35 which often means attrite. Academic tests are another story. I doubt they even count for anything.. just pass with an 80.

If you get all 80s in API you can also get a pink sheet for a low NSS. Don't screw around with API trying to play the game of studying as little as possible. They have enough people where if you don't put in an effort they are going to just kick you out of the Navy.

thats good at least its not THAT bad. Even though a pinksheet is a bit much in my book. Still i'm playing it safe, i dont want to fart in front of the XO's wife and get booted out of the flight program.

Rare,

Don't worry, I dumped a guiness (yeah, I know: "alcohol abuse") on a XO's wife (not a training squadron but still at Corpus) at a winging about a month before mine. She threatened to have me kicked out. I bought her a drink and it was never an issue, I think. I don't remember, a friend told me the story.

A Navy wife threatened to have you kicked out?!?! That's B.S. dude. If I am ever an XO, or a CO for that matter, and my wife asked me to kick some dude out of my squadron because he spilled some beer on her, I would tell her where she can go. Maybe there's more to this story than you've let on??

Like I said, it was a rough go at it that night. Some knives, urrghh, I mean wives wear their hubbies rank on their collars. It was an accident, or just plain bad luck for her. She was serious; keywords in my defense: "threatened" and "not a training squadron." He must have talked her down a little. And with a gesture of drunken goodwill, cooler heads prevailed.

Good luck with being a skipper, kray1395! If you have that attitude, the wardroom will love you. And you'll need it because the single skippers I have seen in the fleet party with the JOs a lot.
