General P-3 community mindset question:
There's a JO in my squadron who woke up the other day all sorts of congested. He called the ODO and told them that he wouldn't be able to fly that day, but he'd probably be better the next day. Cool. End of story. Said JO lives with another JO who is a VP NFO. VP NFO apparently looks at my squadron mate with some amazement. She explains to him that if itwere her she would have had to have gone to sick call, been given a down chit, hand carried it to the squadron safety O and OPSO O, find someone else to take the flight, and then probably viewed as a weak player... Is this an outlier scenario unique to this individual and her squadron or is this fairly common?
