    Crushing Contacts: The Contact Profile Method

    I’m talking about once you’ve been through FAM-0 and your on-wing taught you how to wear your shit. And, yes, I’m super impatient…ask my on-wings.

    NOTAM Definition Change

    Should be using “Filipinx” too friends. Clearly the future of humanity…fuck…huwomanity…fuck…huxity…nailed it…rests on our ability to care and properly utilize pronouns effectively. Also on the list of shit I don’t care about: bringing back the S-3, anything said by Captain (Ret) Henry J...

    Crushing Contacts: The Contact Profile Method

    As another former VT-3 flight instructor I just want to foot stomp what a great post this is by @RoarkJr. Absolutely the level of prep you should have if you want to gun for jets, and crush the syllabus. I wish I’d had more studs this well prepared, it frees up time to concentrate on the...

    Navy Reserve COVID Vaccinations by October

    So what happens to all our unvaccinated on underway ships? Can CO’s keep them in the name of readiness/OP necessity? Hard to dump off 50-100 Sailors midway through a deployment without an impact.

    COVID-19

    Usually a double-blind study if done right. Neither the doctor or the patient know which they are getting, it’s a roll of the dice. As for the patients who died, it’s voluntary with informed consent. They would probably view it as a sacrifice in the name of science…

    We could ban smoking on ships…obviously first and second hand smoke is much less dangerous than the ‘Vid, as we refuse to do so…interesting the lack of willpower when it comes to some deadly behaviors versus others…

    What were the steps to becoming a naval aviator?

    1-Take ASVAB in HS, score 99. 2-Tell recruiters to stop calling you, and go to college. 3-Pay for college with loans, incurring $52K in debt. 4-Take a victory lap, graduate in 5 years with a BS in Animal Science. Ensure your GPA is too low for grad school or Vet School (3.02) 5-Get job for...

    COVID-19

    Nope, I was in Sicily at the time. We didn’t miss any Ops for COVID because we took a calm, and science-based, approach to our adjustment to life. Two extra months of deployment and a lot of food deliveries by my Sailors for the incoming squadron as the ROM’ed through the RIP. Also had zero...

    Cancer rates for pilots?

    Speaking of a face for radio…the sun damage we take is no shit in this line of work. I had to get a Moh’s procedure after my tour in the VT’s, had a nice little basal cell carcinoma. Subsequently have had some stuff frozen off.

    COVID-19

    I was super impressed to see the leadership by example given last night during the Emmy awards. It’s definitely reassuring to see the very people chastising us for compliance following the social distancing and masking rules the rest of us have. Would’ve been poor form if they had, say...

    USAA tow service sucks balls…I got stranded on the side of the road with my truck/trailer when the glow-plug relay smoked itself.
