    WTF "mental and emotional shock and distress"

    You're being sexist... The top student in my karate class was a 2nd degree black belt (nidan) and at 115 pounds she could whip any guy's butt.

    NFO questions

    Not for you If you are the frustrated pilot you appear to be, stay out of NFO training. The training will wash you out before you get winged and we FOs need the best, not "second choicers." Good luck. ip568

    P-3's on a carrier????

    P-2 and C-130 Both the P-2 and C-130 were test-landed aboard a carrier. However, no suitable launching system could be devised (too heavy for the catapult) and they took up too much space on the flight deck and could not be brought down to the hangar deck (wings did not fold). They were...

    Peacoat

    The Reefer is the officers' peacoat -- gold buttons and epilettes. In the Reserves some guys just took their bridge coats to a tailor and had them shortened to reefer length. Looked the same but still had four sets of buttons vs. three...

    P-3 vs EP-3

    Several Factors There are several things to keep in mind. For one, P-3s are combat aircraft. They not only search, they drop a whole boatload of weapons, and the maneuvers involved can be hard on a crew after a few hours. Doing a MAD trap comes at the end of, say, an eight hour onsta time...

    Flight Physical

    It's gotten better A Flight Physical used to be required every year until they found that if they did one just every four years, with brief physicals in the other three years, there was no difference in the chance of in-flight incapacitation. The full physical is a good idea when you enter...

    Ep-3

    Vq There are two VQ squadrons, both flying the EP-3E. The EP-3E is to be replaced by a new joint Army/Navy SIGINT airplane in the next ten years, possibly a variant of the BAE-145 regional jet. My first squadron was VP-1 at NAS Whidbey. Not a bad place to be.

    PRT while at OCS

    Sure has changed When I went through in 1968 the PRT was a killer. One mile swim wearing flight gear in under 1 hour; 1.8 mile x-country course through sand in under 12 minutes; a horrible O course (all sand) in under 4:10. I barely made the pt part of AOCS (as it was then). Got us in shape for...
