I take off the patches if I'm putting them on another flightsuit- but laundry is my wife's domain. She's smart enough to take crap out of the pockets herself.

Not only do I do my own laundry but I do most of the wife’s. I wash all my work clothes separate so I don't get some nasty aircraft grunge on the rest of the clothes. If they are real bad they go to the laundromat. As for my regular clothes, I wash them with the wife’s non-delicate stuff. All of her special care items I leave for her. I just find it easier to do my own laundry most of the time.

It was then I notice it... The dirty flight suit... It reeks of vomit, hydraulic fluid and general "toob-slug-ness." It still has everything in the pockets and the patches on it.
Wait a second. Mr. Pickle, Naval Aviator, is getting airsick? :)

I de-patch and take everything out of the flight suit.

I de-patch my own... then I have to de-patch and clean out the pockets of the hubby's flight suit. I don't know how he carries so much sh!t- his flight suits weighs about twice when mine does with the pockets full.

LOL!!!!! Well, with the craptastic weather we had this morning.. ack! I had to do something to keep busy because I surely wasn't going to IHOP!

First of all, VOMIT? Is this his vomit or someone elses? If he's been on training flights, then I'll assume it's not his.. Husband listened to a brief a few nights ago that brought the LOL's.. Guy on recording called out student for flight schedule saying 'try not to throw up this time'. Ick. Either way, give it a courtesy hose down first!

I wash most of the time. He de-patches and empties all pockets. He has always done this with any uniform. We're on the budget plan, so not interested in bleeding pens screwing up uniforms or anyone else's clothes in the household. He also knows that I only shop at Salvation Army or the local consignment shop, so any destroyed clothing could take me months to replace and find similar style/size.

For sure, those zippered pockets are as bad as a woman's purse. I've never seen so much randomness come from the interior of one outfit.

Also, WHY must the contents be dumped out by the front door entry table to entice the kids 50 times in an hour or my perfectly clean dresser.

For sure, I think I should get him a men's clothing valet, as it drives me batty.

I might be out of my lane here, but I do help the wife with the laundry, so I'll shoot.

You might try adding a cup of ammonia, along with your non-chlorine detergent to aid in killing germs and removing smells.

Flight suits need washed? What? I thought they were supposed to stand up in the corner on their own until you needed them the next day.

On another note, all of these spousal wreckin', he-man woman hatin' threads of late have reset my wife and my biological tickers to zero. They are all rooted in children being little bastards. We love our dog. He makes enough hate and discontent for both of us.
 
We had a dog, still do. Loved him. Now we have a lil girl. I love the girl and generally hate the dog. Exhibit A as to reasons why:
She'll be taking her bottle like a champ, almost passed out from sheer contentment (reminds me of me, back in college)...when for no reason at all our Shetland Sheepdog will give a bark and send her to the MOON. Poor girl shoots the bottle out, almost chokes on the milk, gets her face in a frozen scream, while the dog tries to outrun my inbound foot...
Most times he's great--great watchdog; I just wish he wouldn't think a bird that he might/might not have heard land on a roof ten houses away a threat worth telling us about...

Hey, it's an old flightsuit, that smell is hard to get out, and yes, I barf...it happens:icon_rabb

Not since primary, but I did it enough as a SS3 to permanently "flavor" a couple of flightuits.

Why do you think I moved to the front of the bus?

Sorry Pickle, but that is fuckin' funny. You are the only SS3 I know of to barf. I did see one fall out of his seat once, watching IRDS go back and forth, back and forth....Fell right into the tube. Can you say Spatial Disorientation. Laughed our asses off! Seen more than one SS1/2 barf, no horizon reference, sitting sideways. I can honestly say I never spewed, but I had to find a "special place" during MAD comps..

Good on you- moving to the front of the bus! Good for the whole pickle family, QOL, pay and such.

Pickle's wasn't the best one, though. In primary (at Vance f'in AMERICA), one of his classmates (who is still a very good friend of ours), thought he was over the whole "airsickness" thing. He figured that 3 or 4 flights down in the T6, and you were golden, right? WRONG!

He decided to play "Russian-puke-roulette" during his next flight, and not take an airsick bag with him. Apparently, he never got the memo that not taking an airsick bag will GUARANTEE that you'll get airsick.

They were doing some pretty tame beginner stuff, and I guess he got sick and had nothing to puke in. They were told that, under no uncertain terms, were they to get any vomit AT ALL in the cockpit. He did what (I assume) any other panicked SNA would do...

He unzipped his flight suit a little more and puked down his shirt and flight suit! His on-wing wouldn't even do the de-brief, until he went home, showered and donned a new, non-vomit flight suit.

That's how they do it up right at Vance freakin' America!

I assume that the old rule still stands, if you puke, YOU clean it out of the aircraft yourself?
