In short, he's the strike warfare commander. What do you as a Hawkeye guy know about blowing shit up?Look, slight thread jack here based off my previous post.
I'm not one of those hawkeye fos who whines about equality but my question is still there: why are almost all the CAGs fighter guys? Being a CAG less to do with fighter tactics (which I've already stated that most CAGs I have seen ..their knowledge is outdated) and more with being a manager of assets. So why does it seem to matter what carrier based aircraft you fly? It seems like it's becoming a good old boys network, much like there's a rise in hawkeye fos commanding carriers.
The problem in today's military is we have too many managers and not enough leaders. Leaders lead by doing, preferably from or near the front.
I don't know much about Hawkeying, but as long as I know what you want your cycle times to be, where you need to be stationed to support our mission, and you make sure that L16 is bitching good, it's pretty much covered.
Yes of course there is always more, but that covers the bases.
