My friends and I selected on March 22nd, and of all eight selectors from VT-6 that week, we all got our first choices (hence the happy faces).  We had 4 Jets (3 Meridian, 1 Kingsville), 3 Helos and 1 P-3.  We're heading to NAS Lemoore tomorrow to undergo the centrifuge training.  I plan on finishing out all the briefing guides this coming weekend so the database will be complete.  I'll make sure to post the video of me G-locking when I get back as well.  I'll be heading up to NAS Meridian on April 9th.  Now that I'm moving on, it's up to you to keep this site up-to-date.  Keep me informed via email and we'll make sure this site continues to give good gouge for a long time.<br /><center><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="IMG_1073" src="http://www.bensgouge.com/page7/files//page7_blog_entry10_1.jpg"width="453" height="342"/></center>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>RI Forms Addition</title><dc:creator>benorloff@mac.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Updates</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-03-11T23:50:39-05:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bensgouge.com/page7/page7.html#unique-entry-id-9</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bensgouge.com/page7/page7.html#unique-entry-id-9</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[We've added two tools we have been using during RIs.

The second block of sims (there are 10 of them) are an intense week of frantically taking your hands off the controls to fold a chart or flip to an approach plate while the sim tries to go into unusual attitudes.  If you're in VT-6, you can expect to be double pumped through the whole block (that's right!  5 days of fun!).  We've added the briefing guides for those sims.<br /><br />Thanks to Patrick for letting us know about a mistake in one of the guides (50_I4203) about climbing at 120KIAS.  Nose comes up to 12-15 degrees high to slow down vice 10-15 degrees.  Keep letting us know if you find a mistake in anything on the site so we can make sure we're not supplying everyone with bad gouge.<br /><br />On that note, the NSS Calculator on this site is great for calculating your ratio, but the equation it uses to figure out NSS is bunk.  We're working on an update that focuses on the ratio only.  If you want some more info on how to take your ratio and turn it into an NSS (you'll need a lot of current statistical data from your squadron) check out this thread:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134451">http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134451</a><br /><br />I'm considering adding a part to the site showing what ratio equals what NSS for those people who have already finished primary.  I'd love for people to supply that data as they complete primary: Your Ratio, NSS, Squadron and Date of selection (and what you selected!).]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Briefing Guides Up-To-Date</title><dc:creator>benorloff@mac.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Updates</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-02-21T15:41:19-06:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bensgouge.com/page7/page7.html#unique-entry-id-7</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bensgouge.com/page7/page7.html#unique-entry-id-7</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I've finished uploading all the briefing guides up to where we are in the program.

The first class is on Friday and there is HW that is due on the first day.  It took us a day to do the prerequisite computer-based training (CBTs) and another day and a half to finish the book work before the first day of class.  A word to the wise, go get your books and start on this stuff on Monday or Tuesday else Thursday will be a busy day.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Site Creation</title><dc:creator>benorloff@mac.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Updates</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-01-31T21:36:37-06:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bensgouge.com/page7/files/archive-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bensgouge.com/page7/files/archive-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The website is up and running!!!  Well, sort of.  Today was the launch of Ben's Gouge.com and it is very much a work in progress.  Over the next few weeks, I will be adding new features to the website to eventually have a "one-stop shopping" location for information on getting through the SNA pipeline.  Keep checking back!]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
