Nope - he can bask in his momentary glory. Better things to do than pick on the retar...er, uh, I mean Handicapped.

Aw, it could have been the nights entertainment!

The WARCOD still has 'em!

It's a whole lotta nothin, it won't mean anything to the voters. Shame that they had to use this to refute crap from a blogger though. What's the chance that the press will actually respect the daughters privacy?

It's not just that it's required, it's that if you don't have it in your service record, the promotion board will treat it the same as a missing fitrep. You will most likely not be selected for promotion. It's your record, and your responsibility. You MAY get to O-3 without it, but after...

If you want to be able to pick your orders, several things will need to happen. You need to meet the requirements of being an FRS Instructor. For most communities, that means being the #1 EP in your 1st fleet tour. Now that you have orders to the FRS, you have to show them that you are one...

MB, you need an iPhone. No problem opening the .ppt, all 132 slides! As for the reserves, does the USMC or USN actually use them like they were meant to be used, or are they more like a flying club these days?

I've had my Submariner Rolex for about 6 months and I wear it when I fly. I am also of the mind that I don't spend this kind of $$$ on a watch to let it sit on the dresser. I'm going to get my moneys worth out of it. I have 1 scratch on the crystal, but it wasn't from the plane. I'll blame...

I don't think any of us have spent the $$$ to find out. I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the info though, he is a USMC Hornet pilot, and ipso facto, he's been through it and figured it out. He has just put it all together into what he thinks is a marketable package. If you have...

I've taken them with no ill effects. No one else on the det reported any problems either. Good luck!

Phrog - He's a douche who throws out bad opinions and then refuses to back them up with anything like fact and then won't answer questions about his credibility, just finish him off!

Sometimes the quality of a thread on AW can be judged by their hijackings. Newbies can learn from ya'll catching up! Not many on here were around for the RIF and decom of the A-6 so a retelling of the tales will help keep the lessons learned from that alive.

There are actually some more than that, but the 1,440 figure is who falls under Fleet Forces Command. When you think about it, you start to see where they all come from. Every squadron, ship, Major Command, ROTC Unit, hospital, recruiting district, wing, ship Commodore, SEAL team, etc has...

I just finished a school that had the Inspector General come and he discussed with us why CO's get fired. Not keeping their pants on is the #1 reason. The class had some folks in it who knew this story - and it wasn't just the sex that was an issue. It's amazing the repeated stories of CO's...

Yeah, it dissapates (sic (CJ major)) but it still costs the same & cost is the issue today.

There are times in the COD Community that we do plan for missions with less than full tanks. But it's not about fuel conservation, its about single engine performance in a hot environment with a lot of cargo.

What he said...

Doctors Inlet/Fleming Island area! I lived there for 3 1/2 years (Eagle Harbor) and I LOVED IT! Traffic on 17 wasn't great in the mornings, but it was better than Norfolk traffic.

Logansport, IN

At least this time it is clear on it's intent to F something. :D

It's on page 39 now. At what point/page count do we want to close a thread and start the next chapter? Of course HeyJoe should have the honor - he's the originator and most prolific poster. Although Old R.O. is giving him a run for the $$!

I don't think the DC angle is the right answer to the "why the XO got canned" question. From what I saw, the crew responded appropriately and all hands did the jobs they needed too. I saw things like COD aircrew (and many other people from other squadrons) manning fire hoses, Pilots manning...

Masterbates has earned more than the standard blurb stud NOB. I hope that his VT CO has the smarts to put some of this into his FITREP, even if it is a NOB. A good briefer can make that work in the tank.

No strings or abuse at all. I fly with orange and white jets during every CNATRA det. It's just who is flying the jets that is the issue. If it's students, you can't mix. If it's instructors/winged guys, then party on. As for the OP question- let it go. I have seen quite a few pilots...

way to go! It's true that it gets harder now, but it's also a f*ckin riot! ENJOY!

I wonder who that was?

^^^ We should be able to shoot people for stuff like that... No I don't think I'm over reacting - We are in the frickin military and that is about as much as you can do to destroy the effectiveness of a unit. We should at least be able to have everyone line up and each one who pops negative...

The reason the CO went down is as much the "Burden of Command" as anything else. We hold our CO's to the highest standard of any in the service, and for good reasons. I think he was let down by one of his Dept Heads/Div-O's/Chiefs. As for the XO, it had to be something like koolaiddrinker...

Rear Admiral Wren, the CSG Commander in Japan has been directed to determine if any additional administrative or disciplinary measures are required against any other personnel. So says the AP article...

I just saw at navy.mil, CNN.com & navytimes.com that Capt Dykoff & Capt Dober (CO & XO) of the USS GW were relieved today as a result of the fire onboard on 22May. i'll post links when I get to a computer vice iPhone.

Holy shitnerds batman! I don't think any students were thinking about this stuff when I went through (98-00). We could look at a weekly "NSS Score" that pretty much just showed how we were doing in comparision to our classmates. The "projected NSS" was never even close. I don't think I've...

I haven't been in as long as Bunk, but as I approach 11 years of Navy flying I can still say I love my job.

I happen to have one of those. Squadron decided to go to the Hawkeye/Greyhound ball in Tropical Whites last year. Great fun to see the look on the Commodores face when we all walked in. What? Isn't this a choker equivilent?

4th fleet isn't about launching missiles, it's about launching ideas. Really, just ask them...

so we are clear, I don't want to serve with a druggie who doesn't respect the rules when it doesn't suit him. I'm sure I speak for many others on this.

Awfully poor headwork. Would you want him to be the wingman you have to rely on when it counts? Can he have any credibility when he has to go to mast for one of his troopers who did the same thing? He took an oath and has already given plenty of reason to doubt his integrity. Lots of other...

Well played. Well played. :icon_tong

if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We can decypher most of it.

it sounds like the cat is already out of the bag. That's too bad. I would look into unemployment benefits, or another part time job to fill in the gap. I don't know of any program that allows the Navy to give an advance - you are pretty much still an unknown quantity and they have to look at...

USN Dad, I'm starting to get some of the info in that I promised. It is a bit COD centric at this point, but here is the info being put out our current aircrewman... I'll post more as I get it/find it. I had to strip all the pictures out of the brief due to the file size, but I'll e-mail...

The Argentinian Armada were excellent hosts, and their Aircraft looked great...

Launching a COD in Rio: Looking forward from the ramp:

If they left any liquor in that house, it would be disappointing.

I'm sure you've seen it, but here are some of the Navy Personnel Command links about the AW Rate (pre-merger): http://www.npc.navy.mil/Enlisted/CommunityManagers/Aviation/AW.htm The Merger message: http://www.npc.navy.mil/NR/rdonlyres/60AF5C3D-84C8-412F-A5D9-9DD0A0EE6807/0/NAV08153.txt...

I have several briefs on the subject and quite a bit of info. When I get back to work on Tues, I'll see what I have that I can post...

I only had ~55 days underway at the longest stretch. Fortunatly we got a virtual beer day over the 1MC. BG commander was not loved...

I went on a great flight today. VFR up the Hudson @ 500' is pretty cool. The controller asked if I wanted to take a few turns around Lady Liberty before proceeding. Happy 4th of July!

-1 for public diddling of yourself...

Simply awesome...
