    The term battle cruiser is SO cool. Jutland really ruined it for the rest of history, huh?

    Which watch?

    Have you acted out scenes from Top Gun while looking through the HUD? And by acting I mean do the voice of Maverick and the noise of the targeting radar: "Come on baby lock up, lock up DEE DEE DEE DEE DURRRRRRRRRRR fire it! Oh SHIT, hot mic? Ahem, Everything is A Okay on the flight deck folks...

    It's because he's permanently stuck in the early 80s (where he was still listening to 70s music), his megalomaniac ego cannot comprehend self improvement, and everyone around him doesn't have the balls to tell him otherwise.

    What a bunch of ignorant horse shit. Given current DoD leadership, are you guys seeing the morons and cretins in your ranks coming out in force? One of the low points of my service was watching the eyerolls and hearing the negative comments from Sailors and fellow officers on the first...

    I see opportunity for full rebranding here. Keep the name, keep the logo. Change the uniforms. Lean in hard to the owl concept. All servers are dressed as owls. Serve coffee only. 24/7 coffee place. Hooters.

    Pilot slot availability between USN vs USMC?

    Apply to both. You will be indoctrinated to think you made the right choice, anyways.

    Pilot slot availability between USN vs USMC?

    What's it take PFT wise to get into Marine OCS these days? Back in the early 10s, anything longer than 20 minutes (280+?) on the 3 mile run was a no-go.

    Bolded line 1: I think this is the logical mindset that needs to be embraced by this nation's leadership. I always understood this to be the main focus of most DEI programs, as opposed to hiring quotas. Bolded line 2: We will not get to true equality passively, hence the efforts on equity...

    We saw things differently then. Can you give an example of a legit organization taking effort to tear the white male down? I'm not being combative, I want to understand this nationwide backlash better just than saying "rAciSts". But back to your first paragraph... that would have been a much...

    Blackhawk / CRJ-700 Midair

    There was nothing inherently wrong about DEI until people started using it as a racist dog whistle. I am sure there are plenty of examples of companies or programs that did not fairly or effectively execute their policies, but equating its support with the people who want it wiped off the face...

    Despite my jab, I respect you calmly supporting your (unpopular) position in a bit of a riled up hornet's nest. The pacifist in me can appreciate the path to least violence. However, there is a path to pursue the optimal peace route without literally taking the side of the ultra-nationalist...

    Why it's good to be in Naval Aviation

    "collide", the space between the stars is incomprehensible such that the galaxies essentially pass right through each other. On topic, the milky way on nvg's was always magical.

    Stop box is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks. I almost went to checkout with one of those cringeworthy flag/punisher/cosplay designs but caught it just in time and went with black.

    Seeking advice on that first handgun or next weapon purchase? Ask AW!

    I've waited way too long to do this, but now that I have a toddler in the house I am looking for good recommendations for options for a locking pistol case for my 1911. My priority is in order: security from toddler, price, and speed of access.

    OCS “TMG” - CandiO Reserves?

    Would you say "Hey" to the CO of OCS? Who do you think your audience is here? lol If you're hoping to go to flight school and have success, start training yourself on these phrases when you receive criticism: Got it. Copy. Understood.

    Do you have any retirement accounts/brokerages with the major retail investment banks?

    The catch and recovery of the starship booster is also a huge win for the Artemis program. Not only because starship is going to act as lunar lander, but also because I think the mission concept of Artemis III requires something like a dozen starship launches to fully fuel a prepositioned...

    Baby during Flight School

    Would you advise waiting until first sea tour which is arguably more busy plus the whole deployment thing? Not trying to be a smartass, just pointing out the idea that besides a brief shore tour window in his career, when is a good time?

    Disassociated Sea Tour Likelihood

    Dude the bright side is that if you have to go to a disassociated tour, it makes it THAT much easier to leave the Navy with no regrets. I would have been so bummed if my last day involved walking out of a squadron.
