Please wait for a site operator to respond. Hello, this is'Chris', what can I do for you? Lindsey: Alright, How do I go about doing the Officer program thing you guys have? Chris: Go to college on your own and then apply for selection to Officer Training via OTS: Officer Training School is 12 weeks in duration at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama. To be eligible to apply for Officer Training School, one must have, a baccalaureate degree or be a senior at a college or university that is accredited by one of the 6 regional accreditation commissions recognized by the US Dept of Education. You must have graduated with a GPA of 3.0. Applicants who have graduated from a non accredited college or university in the United States or from another country may apply. However, they must present evidence from an accredited institution of higher learning that their credits are acceptable for graduate work. Selection Process - A board of senior Air Force officers at Headquarters Air Force Recruiting Service will review your application. Selection is competitive and based on your desires, qualifications (such as aeronautical ratings, type bachelors or masters degree, or civilian or military specialty skills), and specific Air Force manpower needs. Each applicant is evaluated for character, academic accomplishments, community service, and leadership potential. As part of the selection process, board members review both objective and subjective factors. Objectively, the board considers each applicants academic discipline, grade point average, and AFOQT scores. Subjectively, board members evaluated work experience, accomplishments, adaptability, character, leadership ability, potential for future growth, and other recommendations. For active duty enlisted members, performance reports and commanders recommendations are also evaluated. A minimum of three AF Colonels reviews every application. The selection process is similar to an AF Officer promotion board. Key to the entire process is that no single factor leads to an individuals selection.http://www.afoats.af.mil/OTS/ Lindsey: Alright.

Well, I'm not sure if it's just physical attraction, or something else. But I've been having a sort of weird little emotion about this one guy on our bowling team. He's handsome. Smart. and single. Ooooh Lindsey, do I sense a little lust in the air? puppy love perhaps? I have no clue...but It's been a while since I've had feelings for anyone of the opposite sex. Not that I've had feelings for anyone of the same sex...LOL nooooo nooooo, I don't roll that way. That's not what I was referring to. I would mention his name here, but I don't remember if I told Ciara or Jocelyn about this blog, and they know the guy & with my luck, they'd probably tell him too. So we'll just call him Chuck. No, he doesn't seem like a Chuck. More like a Vincent, or Justin, or S....no don't say it Lindsey! or Jay, or....sexy....or......OH GOD STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT!
"It started happening about three years ago, when I first got a cellphone," says Canadian Steven Garrity, 28, of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. "I'd be sitting on the couch and feel my phone start to vibrate, so I'd reach down and pull it out of my pocket. But the only thing ringing was my thigh." Though no known studies have analyzed what may cause spontaneous buzzing, anecdotes such as Garrity's ring true with the public. Spurred by curiosity, Garrity, a Web developer, described the recurring false alarms on his blog. The response was not imaginary: More than 30 cellphone users reported that they, too, experienced phantom vibrations. "I ended up hearing from a lot of people who said, 'Hey, the exact same thing happens to me,' " Garrity says. "And it was somewhat comforting, because it made me think I wasn't insane, after all." Some who experienced recurring phantom vibrations wondered whether the phenomenon had physical roots: Was it caused by nerve damage or muscle memory? But experts say the false alarms simply demonstrate how easily habits are developed. Psychologically, the key to deciphering phantom vibrations is "hypothesis-guided search," a theory that describes the selective monitoring of physical sensations, says Jeffrey Janata, director of the behavioral medicine program at University Hospitals in Cleveland. It suggests that when cellphone users are alert to vibrations, they are likely to experience sporadic false alarms, he says. "You come armed with this template that leads you to be attentive to sensations that represent a cellphone vibrating," Janata says. "And it leads you to over-incorporate non-vibratory sensations and attribute them to the idea that you're receiving a phone call." Alejandro Lleras, a sensation and perception professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, adds that learning to detect rings and vibrations is part of a perceptual learning process. "When we learn to respond to a cellphone, we're setting perceptual filters so that we can pick out that (ring or vibration), even under noisy conditions," Lleras says. "As the filter is created, it is imperfect, and false alarms will occur. Random noise is interpreted as a real signal, when in fact, it isn't." Phantom cellphone vibrations also can be explained by neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to form new connections in response to changes in the environment. When cellphone users regularly experience sensations, such as vibrating, their brains become wired to those sensations, Janata says. "Neurological connections that have been used or formed by the sensation of vibrating are easily activated," he says. "They're over-solidified, and similar sensations are incorporated into that template. They become a habit of the brain." Cellphone company spokesmen, meanwhile, say they are not aware of any consumer complaints about phantom vibrations. Cellphones cannot sporadically vibrate on their own, says Mark Siegel of AT&T, formerly Cingular Wireless. "Perhaps in the mind of the cellphone user only," he says. But Rob Whitehouse, vice president of communications at University Hospitals, insists the phantom vibrations he experiences each day are simply proof of how important constant communication is. "It's some psychological expression of my need to always be connected," he says. "It's like when e-mail first came out, and we constantly checked our inboxes, because getting a new message was so exciting. "I like that better than 'I'm crazy,' anyway."Updated 6/12/2007 10:25 PM | Comments 23 | Recommend 41 E-mail | Save | Print | Reprints & Permissions | ![]()
I never knew the Emergency Room could be so much fun! I met a really funny old guy nurse names Charles, and this new girl student/nurse in training named Annie who was learning about everything so she was allowed to make me her test subject. She was very sweet but looked kind of nervous.
I have no idea what's wrong with me. I'm so emotional lately. Nothing's going my way, does it ever?
I love every thing this song says <3 It's beautiful. I remember when it first came out in Chile about 6 years ago. I was 11 i think... :] ahh the memories..
Do you have siblings? What's your relationship like with them? Bonus points if you share a photo!
Yes, a younger brother. My relationship with him is very warm & cuddly :D. He's my best friend! We played together for hours at times when we were younger. We also hardly fight at all. Surprised? don't be. It's called love.
