I'm curious how hard the hammer fell within the ship's crew? If the CO/XO are relieved who writes the FITREP for the CHENG (for example)...VADM Kilcline?

It is helpful to help round you out, so to speak. USNA uses a similar process with points assigned to things like volunteer work, etc. It creates a whole person multiple value. They don't want someone who is pidgeon holed in one corner of the graph, like just high grades. What you've done is...

"See, I know this guy who said he heard it from a friend, who's actually in Afghanistant, that Obama said..." I am still amazed at how fast BS can spread across the interweb.

"Slick" Henry?

Go east on I-8. Stop out by the dunes and drive north. Shoot and camp. You'll need 4WD. Any BLM land is good to go. See: http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/elcentro/mapelcentro2.html

Ohhh...but we are...

Yes, extremely lame.

Have you seen SWMDOC pins that Navy doc's "earn" on a CVN? Like EAWS but they get a gold insignia.

It sounds too hokey to be legit.

Why would you say that?

Very nice.

You have to work at it real hard or get caught in bed with the CO's wife to FOS O-3. :)

Welcome Erin. The spouses corner is a great place to get some information. The rest of the forum...be warned and go there with a thick skin, as some winged folks can be bit blunt. My wife and I will be married 15 years next week. She's been with me through 3 deployments and a year...

From their web site. I suspect this is aimed at combat vets who may be having a hard time fitting back into general public life.

Dang it all, if WEBSTUЯ ain't also a certified hero with a DFC. Good on him. See you don't need to spell after all. See: http://www.navy.mil/view_single.asp?id=14638

There was a pilot in my fleet squadron who consistently had spelling errors on his end of the duty day comedic write ups. His new callsign: WEBSTUЯ......and it stuck hard to this day.

Nice "Iron Lung" kneeboard.

Here let me try.... It will only get worst in the fleet. :crazy_125

Good Times to come...

Official press releases only please. No condolence posts needed nor desired.

I disagree. :D Now sit down and calm down. I don't think you really know what you think you know. Do you? :confused: You only get out "scott free" if Mother Navy approves your request. I know people whose letters of resignation were denied. As it relates to the rest of the thread, I...

Imagine the swearing that will ensue every time you rack your ankle on that thing... I use this:

I like both my Para's. Have had no issues with either. Good manufacturer warranty as well.

It's pronounced nuculear....

That and Doc Martens. In 2002, the French "carrier" was alongside us in the JCS (CVN-74) off Afghanistan. When we cross decked an E-2C, they moved their Rafales to the hangar so we couldn't see them, image them or "spy" on them. They were pretty anal then. Seem to have loosened up some...

Looks like people stayed out in the WX at the show... http://www.navytimes.com/news/2008/07/gns_blueangels_lightning_071308/

Coffee pods are just $39.99 for ten.

Grumman products fly pretty well with one wing....this happened to Lester and Fridge, Ella and Scooter. I was in VF-114 at the time. They diverted to Paya Lebar in Singapore and made a safe landing. The aircraft with half a wing was piloted by "Ella" Fitzgerald. His RIO was "Scooter...

Make sure the bore is cleaned before the first shot. Nice rifle.

Go to www.glocktalk.com or similar to chat with fellow Zombie SHTF survivalists, not here.

and going on cruise will be such fun.....

I like the orange flight suits.. :)

I've flown in C-9s that performed a break at Nellis and Alameda. A little unerving being in the tube and feeling the plane go to a bit more than 45 AOB.

It says it all. :)

Little bit of mid-cruise anti-corrosion work there. Lookin' Good Vark 102!!!

When I saw A-6Es on the Big E, they had fuselage speed brakes but were tagged out inoperative. Don't know why...anyone?

Wait until you're on a carrier and they do an evening prayer every night at 2200 on the 1MC and call for silence about the decks. Evening prayers were never secular that I heard. Don't like it, keep doing whatever you were doing. Why is that so hard? However since USNA and USMA have now...

What predictable behaviour caused the six times...hiking in brush, wandering off the rough in search of golf balls, etc???

Do it yourself....

Female bombers are obviously lower on the priority list than being sure to follow societal and cultural protocols. For example: Iraqi men will not search Iraqi women who are not their wives for explosives...even if their own lives and their families lives are at serious risk. It just isn't done.

I know a former F-14 driver that was medically separated/discharged because of Lyme Disease. If you don't catch it right away, it will mess you up. He's now a GS.

Are you moving yourself locally or is it a PCS move?

OSA is NPQ/CD for flight status. So the assumption is if you didn't have it when you came in, were diagnosed with it before you left the service...so, it must have happened to you (for whatever reason) while you served. Thus the service connected disability link and claim according to the VA...
