Understanding DoD SkillBridge in the Marine Corps
Over the course of my 20 years in the Marine Corps, I saw some pretty significant changes in how Marines transitioned out. The Marine Corps expanded and revised its transition assistance programs, complying with federal directives and evolving into what is currently the transition readiness program. One very popular tool now available is called SkillBridge. The DoD SkillBridge program is relatively new, and the Marine Corps has allowed separating Marines to benefit from it on their way back into civilian life.
Mastering Crosswind Landings: Techniques and Tips for Pilots
Landing an aircraft is an essential skill for every pilot; it demands precision and practice, especially when dealing with variables that change from landing to landing. One of the biggest variables is the wind, which varies in both speed and direction. The complexity of crosswind landings comes from the need to maintain runway alignment, or centerline, while counteracting the sideways drift caused by winds pushing you to the side. As the aircraft descends, pilots have to manage the appropriate controls inputs to ensure the plane lands not only on the centerline, but also facing straight down the runway at touchdown rather than pointed to one side or the other. Landing with a crosswind is one of the trickier skills many pilots take the longest to perfect.

Pilot's Guide to Aviation V-Speeds: Vx, Vy, Va, Vs, Vfe, Vmc, Vno, Vne
What Are V-Speeds and Why Are They Important?
V-speeds are standard terms used to define airspeeds that are critical for the safe operation of all aircraft. These speeds are derived from data obtained during flight testing and are essential for pilots to understand and memorize. Knowing V-speeds ensures that a pilot can continue to fly the aircraft safely throughout all phases of flight, including takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and landing.
