Max the Mad Russian
Hands off Ukraine! Feet too
Gents,
A question arose from my drinking with my fellows who are former naval and air force navigators in Russian military. When I told them that WWII Kriegsmarine navigators in all submarines were NCOs (that is the truth) and navigators in RAF torpedo planes were NCOs too, they, as nowadays navigators familiar with celestial as well as satellite systems told me that it is not compulsory for modern navigation to graduate high school even - everyone who can read can navigate over the sea knowing just basics of geography. Is that true in USN aviation world?
