Stupid Questions about Naval Aviation (Part 3)

[MasterBates]

Was not the SDO. Was a guy who was covering my ground job. Thought he had a legit question.

Anyways, shouldn't the hate be on the Hinge who boned me and cost me thousands and a lost vacation, vice me answering the phone for what I thought was to help a fellow JO?

 

[Swanee]

Obviously. Just wondering why we do it and the AF doesn't. Clearly my question was too stupid for the stupid questions thread.

AF rolls their sleeves inward instead of out.

 

[wlawr005]

'Cause you can't show off your Breitling with your fucking sleeves rolled down, duh.

 

[Gatordev]

AF rolls their sleeves inward instead of out.

That's just so they can hide that they're rolling them. They only roll them one time (the "width" of the velcro).

As for the why... Probably because the AF treats the flight suit as a regular uniform, so they don't want people to think outside of the box and start rolling sleeves and look un-uniform. Until the recent uniform change on the Navy side (come 18 July), no one really gave a crap because it was considered a working uniform. Even though the regs said no more than 2 rolls, people did whatever they wanted anyway.

 

[Rocketman]

Someone told me this was a result of rolling your sleeves up. True story?

Not true.

 

[Gatordev]

Not true.

Agreed. I was told it was due to not filling out the ORM sheet as well as not completing the Motorcycle Safety Course.

Actually, that is what happens when you don't file via Navy Flight Weather Briefer.

It kills all of your Bernoullis.

Damn, that was a better one. I was trying to come up with something quick before I got "counseled" on not starting to cook the chicken on the grill.

Did you get your ORM?

Did you fill out the "Grilling over an open flame is a hazardous activity" ORM sheet prior to grilling said chicken?

 

[MasterBates]

No. He's on TRA and has a microwave grill with a faraday cage.

There's a reacurring segment on the Pentagon Channel about safe grilling. The Mommy five side is real.

...and apparently frying turkeys. Not kidding. We had a safety stand-down with a 10 minute talk and subsequent video about the proper way to fry a turkey.

I may change my signature line to "Natural Selection: Makes the promotion process simpler."
