No kidding. CVN ship drivers suck. I've never heard a halfway decent reason why people drive a 100,000 ton ship like they are blind, deaf, and shitfaced. I think it comes down to the fact that, at the end of the day, everyone else will get out of their way...usually...

They will take occasionally take 45-60 minutes trying to set flight quarters even when your land time was on their POD. I wish I were joking, that's just how it is.

Do we fuck this up sometimes? Sure. Just keep in mind that I've been on the other end of a red phone/chat window -plenty of times- with an irate CVN TAO who has been beaten into submission to blindly execute the air plan with absolutely no regard for anything else happening in the universe. "Have a nice day..."

TAO executing the airplan? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA . . . (breath) . . . HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Romeo, Papa, the Air Wing staff, and the squadrons would like a word about that. The Battle Watch doesn't shit on the TAO when they can't find out why 403 went down on the cat . . . again. Or when LTJG Fucknuts never checked in with Red Crown. Squadrons don't call the TAO with that last-minute FCF.

Not that I'd call Romeo a terribly important part of the whole scheme of things by any stretch of the imagination. They're not. But the only time I usually talked to the TAO was roughly 30 seconds for turnover (mine or theirs) and about 10 seconds on the phone at zero-ass-thirty saying "yup, all planes on deck, alerts were set at zero-ass-thirty minus 15. I'm headed to rats. Peace out, bro."

Oh, and listening to their simulated 1MC BS during GQ. Bet to self: are they going to actually play a recorded explosion sound effect this time, or just go "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" like a moron?

That's generally the conduit off ship. I never talked to -P or the Air Wing staff about flight ops and being in station...nor would I! It's always the TAO. I figure if it were really a big deal, -B or -Z would chew my ass, but no...

It's actually pretty easy, for guys with wings on their chests....


I would suggest splitting this long-since-derailed thread, but I really don't know what the new one would be called.....:(

Funny, considering that when -B was chewing my ass, it usually wasn't a "big deal," it was harassing me over something they could see themselves on ISIS, or why I was 90 seconds late on my hourly checkin. Really?

Oh, and are we going to hire a bunch of UNIX programmers to call it something other than ISIS, now that that name is politically incorrect?

azguy - why are you arguing about aviation centric topics that you clearly have little knowledge or experience of with guys/gals that do? SailorBob is your friend . . . :)

Aviation centric? Go back and read my posts. Are you TAO and OOD qualified? I bow to your vast experience!

Well, OK. In the past three pages you admit to never have been on a CVN, never worked with (or even talked to) Air Wing staff or PAPA and you assume Shooter & TAO are PERS-43 "dead end" jobs for terminal LT's. Please, continue to educate me on the failings and poor ship driving techniques of Naval Aviators & Flight Officers.

So you think a CVN is the best suited unit in a CSG to hold -C? Serving a CVN makes you the end-all expert in CWC dynamics? Do you think being a shooter or TAO is "career enhancing" based on last year's board results?

My point: instead of telling me, or at least implying, that I don't know shit- why don't you engage in an intelligent conversation and try to prove me wrong.

I'm not the one who recommended making flight attrites Shooters . . . . and I never implied you didn't know shit, although you're definitely acting like it. Yes, Shooter and TAO are career enhancing, disassociated sea tours, despite a horrendous year for promotion/screen boards. The pendulum will continue to swing . . . .

oh jeezus. Any thoughtful comment I could have in this thread would need to be on SIPR unless I wanted my clearance to be revoked. But there are some real jokesters in this thread. Where is SIPR AW when you need it.......

No. Being ANY mouth breathing SWO was a lot better for one's chances at making O-4. Your community has a bright future.


Back to the actual intent of this thread.... When dudes with AZGuy's apparent attitude end up in positions of authority (generally disproportionate to competence and ability) - that's why guys leave. There, thread back on track. You're welcome.
