  1. My plan is to leave class Friday drive to Hobbs NM stay in a hotel get up super early catch a flight out to Houston at 645am. Then layover in Houston for an hour and fly out to columbus at 930. Then land in Columbus at 2pm. My dads going to meet me at the airport with my tux and then go to the wedding hopefully before 530pm. Then I'm going to fly back Sunday.

  2. I would get a rental car and drive to DFW after class so you can catch the earliest flight to columbus the next day. This skips the connecting flight from whereever you are, and assures theres other options to CMH since DFW is a massive hub.

    That's a good thought but its an 8.5hr drive which I've done several times. But I don't want to bust my ass with PT all week then class and jump into a car for 8hrs get virtually no sleep catch a plane get married and pass out only to turn around and do it again in reverse.

  3. Well what I ended up doing is pushing the time back to 5:30 for the wedding. I'll leave the academy after we are released. Then I'm going to head to the airport and get a hotel room. Wake up super early and catch a plane that leaves at 5:45am and is scheduled to land in Columbus at 1:58pm. Then I'll have a ride waiting with my tux and such then do what I need to do. Sunday the plan is to wake up and go to breakfast with family and friends and catch a flight back.

  4. The guy riding the bike he should know better than to ride without gear. If he doesn't wear it oh well his choice maybe try to educate him. Now the girl on the back probably has no idea about the outcome of a minor slide without gear. Hell most girls just wanna ride a bike because its cool and the seat vibrates. If they only knew how likely it was that one of their clones driving down the road texting while putting on makeup is eventually going to do something to cause the d-bag piloting the bike that let her ride with no gear to have to react suddenly possibly locking the rear sliding and high siding both of them high into the air before slamming face first onto the pavement and sliding at 30+mph in traffic. When people would give me shit for wearing gear I would tell them when I see them run full speed and do a head first baseball style slide on the pavement I would understand their toughness and ability to go without gear. Now I have ridden without a jacket on occasion so don't think I'm a gear Nazi but myself and my fiancee do not get on a bike without at least helmets, jeans boots and gloves.

  5. So I'm going to be in the academy the whole month of Sept. in artesia NM. I was planning on getting out of class on Sept. 9 and flying home for my wedding on Sept. 10. Then flying back to New Mexico on the 1130 so I could report to class on the 12th. The problem is I get outta class at 5pm the last flight I can find within 100 miles leaves at 4:45pm. The other option I have is leave the morning of the wedding at 6:45am and arrive in Columbus at 1:58pm then rush an hour north to get married at 3:30pm. (if we go this route we will push the wedding back to 4:30pm.

    Moving the wedding date or location aren't options we want to do. Can anyone think of any other logical options? I don't think I'll be able to afford it but does anyone know what a non commercial flight from new Mexico to Ohio would cost? Would a small plane be able to do it? Could the times be made?

  7. I just tested myself for the fitness test here's where I stand. My 1.5 mile time was 14:57 my 220 was :39 my situps were :37 and my pushups were :22 I think I'll get it the requirements are, test will include: 220-yard run –must be completed in 50 seconds or less Sit-ups –25 proper form must be completed in one minute or less Push-ups –17 proper form must be completed in one minute or less 1.5 mile run –must be completed in 17 minutes and 15 seconds or less.

    I'll be posted in Wilcox AZ its the southeastern side of Arizona. I will be with border patrol. I was training pretty regularly until about a 2 months ago, I thought I wasn't going to get called so I slacked off. At one time I was within the graduating fitness requirements now I'm just making the entrance requirements.

    Don't know if its true or not but we were told this dam is the second largest only smaller than the Hoover.
