The basics of API

[OUSOONER]

People fresh from OCS tend to have a different idea of what consitutes a regulation haircut.

I will say (having been in ROTC and OCS) that the OCS guys tend to come in more in shape, squared away with respect to uniforms , and just overall demeanor than their colleagues from the other commissioning sources.
If people want to be honest they will generally agree....of course there are outliers in all examples. I think it is because we are still drones from the previous 12 weeks of suck.

I agree. But post-OCS, I definitely let myself go...and now I feel like I'm on the Lindsay Lohan plan for fat-loss success.

I would hope so. OCS guys just came from 12 weeks of running, pushups, marching, rifle drill and uniform inspections. OCS guys are also still scared that the mean ole gunny is going to yell at them and fight the urge to salute squirrels. USNA and NROTC guys just came from 6mo of stash time at their college.

In 2-3yrs you (OCS guys) will all be fat, lazy, nasty slobs like the rest of us.

I would like to see the hair of said pink sheet haircut victim.

I REALLY want to know the story of the DUMBASS pinksheet recipient.

Somebody get this guy a drug test.

Hahaha. This has been up in Stucon for weeks.

Who the fuck had an earring. I mean... REALLY?

As my DI used to say..... bunch of college educated dumbfucks!

It's weird, almost like some people don't like to be corrected by other Ensigns...

Better another ENS than a LT+ who has an effect on your future in Naval Air..... especially when said ENS is RIGHT. Shirt stay stirrups in the socks? I agree, and I am a stickler for the small thing but.... you can probably let that one go. I'm surprised if USNA/ROTC guys even WEAR shirt stays. I'd be more concerned about giving dudes shit for wearing black shoes.

Could have been a chick. Last I checked, this ain't allowed in uniform either:

 

[Krafty1]

There are some pretty bad ones in A-Pool, along with Khakis that look awful. I just don't get it. Is it ignorance or just laziness? I'll try and point out things to fellow ENS, but when I tell a guy not to wear his shirt stay stirrups outside of his socks, and he does it anyway, I'm kinda done with him.

Take a look around next muster, I'd be surprised if even half of A-pool wears them, it looks like some Ensigns are wearing pillowcases.

Dude...

 

[FormerRecruitingGuru]

Daily uniform inspections? Random/harsh pink slip assigning?

And I thought the SWO world was rough...

I'm glad I got a chance to stop by today and talk to some of you in person.
Remember:
1. How long have you been waiting for this?
2. This is your dream.
3. You won't get what you want, but you'll love what you get.
4. Everything is a test--you have to work hard and earn your Wings of Gold.
Good luck and I'll see some of you in the Fleet.

Words of Wisdom! Everything in life is a test!

Words of Windom! Everything in life is a test!

That's a little deep there. What about when you are sitting on the couch, scratching your nuts, and flipping through the channels?

And ironically you misspelled wisdom.

 

[AGonxAV8R]

Ohh WOW! Hehehehe I did committed an atrocity there, spelling Windom, and not Wisdom... Must have been thinking Windows (MS) at the moment.... There you have it, I failed the attention to detail test posting here today....

And yeah I barely seat on the couch and watch TV....
