I guess the old E-6B [not electronic] computer is passe' and gone with the wind. But it did 'bout everything in its time.
It's also required by 3710.I don't carry one, but since they are nerds, the NFOs in the back usually have one. If I'm ever hard up and bored as shit, I just ask them for it. I asked one why he still carried his, and his reply was "the lifties have always worked as long as I've had this in my bag. I'm keeping it."

And tobacco, in any form, is not permitted on board US Navy Aircraft. And everyone always gets a -1. And we file IFR to the max extent practicable, not practical. And I report my use of gatorade as a supplement. And no one drinks more than 3 cups of coffee a day. Did I miss anything?
No one drinks Monster, Rip It, Red Bull, etc...And tobacco, in any form, is not permitted on board US Navy Aircraft. And everyone always gets a -1.

Just got done with my FINAL dunker/physiology... We went over this, and taurine/guarine are what make Red Bull/Monster prohibited. Not the drink themselves. So yes, Rip Its are also not authorized (we asked about everything out there - Rip Its, Red Bull, Monster, 5 Hour Energy, etc...).We got it on good authority this past deployment that Rip Its are authorized. They don't have the taurine/guanine in quantities that the monsters and red bulls come packed with, which is apparently why they are not authorized.
Never underestimate the value of a personally engraved pewter "hip flask"...just like you've probably seen in every war movie ever made. Not much use in the aircraft cockpit, of course, but perhaps a better gift or personal memento than a pen or a Leatherman or a flight bag. Maybe better on "winging day"?I'd say pens & alcohol. Seemed to be what I used the most.
