Essentially they built got a 60R long before we ever had one. Didn’t realize they did night ASW.

Hate to say, but that’s a data set of two.

Private schools use the bell system. Not sure where you came up with that.

Sounds like it. Hate to say it but CAG Admin must have been in on this and Flag Admin didn’t protect their boss.

And those USAF assets need runways….

Got it, but this seems to be a quarterly thing for Chuck. Talk to some AF types telling fishing stories with their 10k hour APU turn patches and then say Navy sucks. Does HSC have issues? Yes. Merge a couple of communities on top of change of focus from the desert to at sea and of course...

Think you are confusing task organization with doctrine. We have the same doctrine- JP 3-50.

We don’t have doctrine?

Probably a unit typo…kinda like what happened here…

Not just container ships, but also the size of the petroleum carriers has increased. They have been dredging quite a bit in the Chesapeake channels to support. One thing not mentioned is that these ultra-larges own exclusive rights to the channel making scheduling interesting. You have to be on...

Think about how long many of our SIRs take, especially if Els are needed.

Not downplaying, but this is standard seamanship.

I’m not sure putting SWOs in will work. Cats and A/G are not under the JFMM, they follow the NAMP. TBH, I would not want someone who grew up under the JFMM running Cats and A/G. Second, PERS 41 struggles to fill the conventional 1110 billets on a CVN. They wouldn’t fill the additional billets...

More to it than engine SHP. Drivetrain and blade design matters, too.

Not so cool when you consider all the weight it adds and the weight of your average SOF guy fully kitted

Bet the winds were in limits….

Ahh, the days before a crunch was an automatic class c.

Impossible. Data will be at best anecdotal.

Apples and oranges. Weapons delivery and a hostile HLZ are different beasts. OBTW, when that F-35 pilot has to land, it’s on a runway or with the aid of gucci systems and an LSO.

Don’t hate on that baby tail wheel- it lets me dump that 13 deg within 15 ft knowledges. But I do really like those side view mirrors. You can actually use them.

This is why others get annoyed. Not sure how this isn’t a personal attack. And the gold standard was in effect for the global economy at the time and the family analogy was meant to compare GDP to debt, as someone else politely replied.

My point exactly. The Mark was not a reserve currency, the gold standard was in effect, colonialism was still around, globalization wasn’t near what it is today, and we are not saddled with a reparations bill while rebuilding a country. Apples to oranges. I do believe debt has to be managed...

Pretty sure that Weimar and our current situation (not to mention the world macro economy) is completely different.

Am in the same line of thinking, except how the F-14 could have done it much better.

Waiting on Ward Carrol to make a ruling…..

Wouldn’t call it fearmongering. Putin has not shown any behavior to prove his statement. The only reason he hasn’t rolled into places like Estonia is Ukraine is giving him a run for his money. Hitler made similar remarks, so I don’t believe a word Putin says.

Where was the technical description on the gloves? And nothing on type of watch used. Fail.

Been much longer….I was taught SCS was going to be a flash point 30 years ago. Look at the rest of the issues - EP3 in 2001, periscope picture ~2007, lots of FONOPS in late 2000s. No one cared because of the other wars, but we were already locked into a Cold War.

White or Brown paper? I hear bleaching in white paper increases performance.

I'm sure this was taken seriously....

Not sure that it is a who is better call, but who is in the area to handle. Naturally, an HSM bird would be more likely to be able to investigate based on location.

We goose egged in the win column on STA21 this year. I’m scratching my head.

i think you might have a future in pharmaceutical sales.

Never heard of the Nautilus virtual desktop - how do you get it?

Wrong boat. Stennis construction hadn’t even begun in 1990.

The one closest to the pier had a gym. Was pretty dingy ~2013. Think the rest were warehouses. Never seen 3 x boats on those piers. Crazy.

Where the hell did this term come from?

Technique only - wear the jacket with type 3s and if you get shipmated from three parking rows away, you know you might be wrong.

Yes. Altitude changed from 50’ in mid-90s to 60’ early 2000 to 70’. ASW mission set drove this. We kept 70 for SAR for ease and because you rarely get salt spray at that altitude.

I’d say there’s some validity in appeasing the public. Boeing may also have details about who did the installation on the factory line that can bound the problem to just the Max. There’s been a huge turnover in manufacturing jobs, so many industries do not have the experience they used to have.

At least they have those coastal SD DAs

That's a lot of hangar space for one plane!

Nope. Ever been on a train in Tokyo at rush hour? No one says a thing and just gets on and off in under 10 seconds - unless of course the conductor has to push you inside in order to get the door to close.

Bet it’s easy to auto.

VTOL S-3 could do it. And then we could also have the AEW and COD versions, too. Think of the airframe commonality!

Cadillac chit?

Don’t you mean the road to Dushanbe?

And don’t forget, there’s significant operational learning occurring. There may be a cost difference; however, those ships and aircraft are shooting for real vice some heavily scripted live fire with a purpose (side note - why can’t we call it a live fire or missile-ex)

Maybe it’s a ploy to make the Handlers on their carriers lose their minds.

Of Bayonne, NJ?
