I've noticed that a surprising number of people in AROTC are catholic.

But think about it...no poo poo real talk here: a good presentations can result in your folks getting ca$h when nobody else does, or a vital concern being highlighted to GOs who can actually fix it moral of the story being: you should be a powerpoint genius, people would love you for it and you could actually help them...

The AF uses powerpoint which is just as silly as any other presentation software but the fact remains that a person who can speak well, deliver info clearly and concisely, and builds a presentation that delivers the right message is the person whose needs are going to be met, usually.

Slippery posted:The AF doesn't use zoinky sounds I created a powerpoint presentation for an O-8 that was touring through our workplace. I was joking around with a coworker while I was making it. I had an animation of a nuke going off and I added a 'BOING-OING-OING' sort of sound effect and forgot to remove it. It went through my commander so he could approve it and learn it before he gave the mission brief to this guy. Unfortunately, he had his sound on mute in his office while he was looking at it over the next couple days. The sound wasn't muted on the computer while he was giving it for real. He wasn't pleased.

I'm pretty quick to remind non-priors who give me poo poo to tell me what junior high school they were stationed at while I was in Iraq. I don't brag about my service but I don't take poo poo either. commissargribb fucked around with this message at Feb 8, 2010 around 14:05 |

How much time a week do y'all spend in ROTC? I'm going in to talk to the UC Berkeley detachment captain this week, but I'm starting to get antsy about the time commitment. Cal wants me to take 12 units and teach a class...

Cal wants me to take 12 units and teach a class... Maybe about 8 hours per week between class, PT, and the random planning/leadership functions that come with being an upperclassman in ROTC. I still manage to take 5 and a quarter units (5 classes), go to the gym 5 nights a week, work 18 hours, get all of my work done, and have fun in spite of it, so you should be fine. psydude fucked around with this message at Feb 9, 2010 around 04:29 |

CBTs on ADLS have all sorts of goofy poo poo and annoyances.

BlueBayou posted:Biostatistics..... I don't go to Cal, but I have a few friends who do so I understand how it is over there. You'll have to really think about this because ROTC will either become another burden or make you go HOOOAH RAAAR and want to do better in everything ever (which, incidentally, happened to a friend of mine). I have no experience with ROTC, but I'm currently training for PLC (summer only). I am also a geology major (who also juggles other extracurricular activities). It is a commitment that will take time away from your study groups, review sessions, and other gay library poo poo you assholes do at Cal. If you think you can juggle another extracurricular, then go for it. This is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt!

BlueBayou posted:How much time a week do y'all spend in ROTC? In AFROTC, the underclassman have a maximum of 5 hours a week and the upperclassman have a max of 6. These hours are the most that you are required to be in training per regulations. If you want to excel, you'll need to put a few more hours in for studying and working out. Also, if you're an upperclassman, you'll probably have a job within the wing/battalion/whatever. That will definitely take up a lot of time depending on the job. I'm my detachment's Cadet Wing Commander and I put in at least 15 hours a week.

In fact I don't recall ever having a working heater on any tank I was assigned. Also, don't even think of trying to drive drunk on 31W on the way back from Louisville. All kidding aside, you should have a great time.

Not ones that go to O-6s or above, unless there are pilots involved. That said, I know the exact little dude you mean, usually when someone like the Family Support Center or Public Affairs or someone makes a slide show, there he is!

We could never figure out if it was the sleep deprivation or if fumes from the heater got us high. Weren't morning missions in gauntlet the pits? Nothing like falling asleep and waking up to the TC yelling at you over the intercom.

When you say "meet" do you mean like, have an actual conversation (or multiple conversations on a recurring basis) with, or do you mean like you ran into some dude who yelled at you for not saluting you quickly enough?
