Ditto. If you want to call it the FRS, what are you going to call "CAG"? "CVW?" or "CAW?"

"The air force variant has an internally mounted gun. The Carrier and Marine variants can have an external gun pod fitted."

LM had a JSF presentation a while back here in K-rock. When they mentioned the lack of an internal gun, you could hear the audible moan from the old-salt sim instructors (former A4, F8, etc. pilots). One guy asked about how well this "pod" would stay calibrated following regular traps aboard ship. The LM guy just replied, "oh, it will work just fine." The instructor just laughed and sat down.
I've got to agree with A4s on this one. The more things change...
eddie said:As far as the number of C's, I was confused because Punk said guys were fighting over just a few slots, but I guess that just must be the selection spread right now, Needs of the Navy.
Brett327 said:Is that why you got Prowlers? Needed the help of 3 ECMOs?
Kind of skirting the question, aren't you?Punk said:when you're able to take a navy jet out solo, you let me know, ok

i'll be receiving social security before the Corps gets the JSF ... i flew for the "B team" at K-Rock and now i'm stuck flying a "JV" jet in the fleet, i guess i'm fuckedEODDave said:Sorry if you dont like the JV term, but maybe one day you'll get to fly a real airplane. Doh!!!
nobody to banter with here in BFT, we all fly the same jet.Mefesto said:God please tell me all this banter dosen't carry over to the O-Club... whose up for dice?
The clubs were GREAT .... especially in the 60's and 70's when we didn't have to worry about Hornet pilots and whatever was stinking on them ...... probably something on their boots ???jarhead said:.....i can't imagine what the O-Clubs at Miramar, El Toro, Oceana were like .........with A-4s, A-6s, F-4s, F-14s, & F/A-18s around at the same time ... i bet it made for some good drunken verbal brawls! i bet Hornet pilots in those days thought their shit didn't stink

That remains to be seen.Punk said:Just because because I got the aptitude to land this pig on the boat.
Well, I think I might...UInavy said:I'm not sure exactly why you're so pissed off.
