Neither did you.Not from the correct seat he didn't...
There's an interesting story going around that the Meridian Commodore who was concerned he was going to be fired by Admiral Bull so he's the one who went to the media.
True or not, I doubt we'll ever know considering how quick and quiet Bull's "replacing" occurred.
Shit's getting real...Not from the correct seat he didn't...
I don't think you understood my point. A lot of the heartburn from my t-45 friends stems from things I won't go into on a public forum, but suffice it to say, at the least, they didn't think it was wise to put an NFO in charge as the chief of naval air training, where most of his job is running the training for pilots, of which he has limited understanding of what that entails compared with a single-anchor guy. That's all I was saying. Not a dig against NFOs or any of that nonsense.Neither did you.
This ain't rumor mill.Good Lord. Talk about more fodder for the rumor mill!

Oh joboy SUMAT.
A one star has been around long enough to know EXACTLY how training works on both pipelines.
He needs to talk with his class advisor and CO. There are options. These options have a risk, but why be miserable?!It's easy to criticize someone's choice without knowing the full story or being in their shoes... Those are specific reasons that possibly have some physiological issues driving them instead of him being a stereotypical child attitude from someone who was jaded he didn't get what he wanted. Sounds like the guy knew he'd be miserable every day for the next 10 years of his life every time he flew... more power to him for avoiding that, cutting the military's losses, and not becoming a safety hazard to his squadron mates.
I had an onwing once who was a naturally gifted pilot.
Fast forward a year, he's in kingsville and we're having at one point, discussions several times a week about how much he's fucking miserable and wants to DOR and dreads going flying... why? He got airsickness... every flight... Turns out that besides the few active airsickness episodes he had in primary, he was passively airsick 60% of the flights in the program but sucked it up and flew because he didn't want to get attrited. He gets to T45s, and he's actively airsick, and puking every single flight. Adaptation flights were'nt helping, spin chair wasn't helping, and every flight after BIs he'd be sick...
Would a DOR in that case been a waste of money? Should he have just shut up and color?
Dig intended or otherwise, that is one of the most ill-informed statements to come out of you in a while (and there have been many), though I suppose we can pardon your ignorance, as you have zero experience operating in a designator-diverse environment.I don't think you understood my point.
