The Man will put you in some sort of position that will make good use of your legal and SWOter wearing skills.

It was an Ike jacket. Sheesh. If you're going to bust my balls for avoiding hypothermia, at least do it accurately. :D

Was it a greenish-gray Ike jacket or was it the black one that the SWOs like to say is also an Ike jacket? :p

I don’t need to bust your balls, TW-5 Actual did that well enough :)

Hypothermia? In FL? More like death by hyperbole...

Remember nuggets, if you’re getting an award from the TW Commodore and you wear SWO attire expect to have a senior CAPT bust on you. And then insist that you wear his leather jacket for the picture so you look like an Aviator. Leadership wants to see you excited to be part of Naval Aviation...this includes wearing brown shoes and a leather jacket.

It's interesting to read some of the biographies and autobiographies of wartime heroes from WWII who often quit soon after the war when the services (US and UK) went back to their peacetime ways very rapidly, in some cases just months. Quite a few stuck it out post-war and some did well but a lot didn't, especially ones who thrived by bending and breaking the rules in combat where it paid off handsomely but not so much in peacetime.

That doesn't surprise me, even with all the training for us nukes when things went south there was more than one time where a senior person would say "just get the engineroom up now", during normal operations that would never be said.

I wore all of said ensemble I’d been issued. Stupid P-Cola Supply.

I very firmly believe that the only thing to abolish all of the above is an all-out, peer or near-peer shooting war.

That seems like a high price to pay just so we can revert to feeling good about our institutions like it's 1948 again.
