I hope it was not an IFS hop....

No worries mate...I'll take care of his welcome aboard letter for him... r/ G

Whaaa? This loses something in it's intended meaning when put into text??? Huh?

However...it is not uncommon for your "Buddies" to gen up a letter on your behalf and send it to your new command for you.... Dear Skipper, Thanks for allowing me to grace the ready room with my presence. I understand I could have gone to any squadron I wanted, so feel lucky I chose...

Moo Really????...Dig in kids...it's good for you.

Here you go...my baby. Or use this... r/ G

It's easy, we just don't sell them all the capability.

Yo FNG....Who you calling Dipstick? I'm an NFO and I'll try to answer this for you... Get winged...buy a commercial pilot test study guide ($15), study it for one night. Go to your local FAA field office (FSDO). Bring your NATOPS and/or navy qualifications paperwork with you. Take a ~70...

Knock it off stops everything...like the entire "Roving Sands" exercise. Had an E-2 bubba be a survivor in the field and he said on his PRC-90 "I am simulating having ejected from my jet"...all the EC-130 heard was "...ejected from my jet"...." His new callsign was "Rightguard"...the pro-word...

Battery acid , when used in small amounts, will easily remove the stain. Unfortunately it takes the material with it... Take it to the cleaners is your best bet.

Brief what you fly..fly what you brief. If you'd brief it in front of your CO/Safety Officer...and follow the above axiom...it's probably not going to enter the "reckless" realm...then you got nothing to worry about.... RIO's most feared words: "Hey, Watch This!"

I'd think it's all boilerplate. Not too much to really plan. They've already been to most of the airfields they plan to do shows at. But most importantly...remember, he volunteered. ;)

The blues have an NFO. # 8 I served with him on the Stennis when he was in VF-211. Shaun A. Swartz Lieutenant, U.S. Navy Events Coordinator Bio: http://www.blueangels.navy.mil/2005%20officers/Bios/08.pdf

You got to define the requirements for making this list to make it have value... Are the jets equipped with rails, MERs, tanks, stores, etc, etc.... Now a good list would be wrt pure 1 v 1 off a butterfly start at 20K feet and 325 kts???? Speed, angels set on the left. Speed, angels set on...

Ban the booze??? Anyone see a future ban on alcohol on ariliners? :confused: I figure a few more heavily publicized drunk vs. crew/passenger incidents and we'll see legislation on it. :o 700,000 x $3 can = cha-ching :D Hic Cheers, G

Cruise sock. : ) If you can get it easily to the boat for cruise...bring it. You can't make yourself too comfortable on deployment. Coffee bean grinder, coffee maker, blender, lava lamp, beaded curtains, chillow....the list goes on and on....beach chair, sun block, cigar humidor, flannel...

Lovin' It... :) Thank you.:) :D He who laughs, lasts. :D

Now turn right...

Polar has good ones. I use it to train at the right level on a stairmaster. you would be surprised how easy it is to cross the aerobic exercise line and go anaerobic. Used it on the ship a lot, too. Most newer treadmills are compatible with Polar HR monitors. Expect to pay $60 or so for a...

Sex...absolutely the last thing to go through my mind looking at her...

Search this forum and the www for Naval Flight Officer or SNFO. Lots of good info here. All kidding aside, work on your english language skills, too. Specifically spelling and grammar. Nothing will get an STA's essay knocked out of the running quicker than basic grammatical problems...

Unfortunately ,that's the way it works. Only PNOK from the Page 2 are notified first via a NAVY CACO then, SNOK. If you are on your relatives Page 2, you will find out via that route. When that is complete, a press release will release the names officially. Or a notified relative/relation...

As you know, Hornets FOs will end up in Lemoore at the Rhino rag, E-2Cs FOs will end up in Norfolk. Some people like both locales. Lemoore is remote, but has access to S.F. and ski areas...plus lots of fresh vegetables and fog :) . Norfolk is a big sprawling city and can be intimidating to...

Also check out the CNATRA web site.

I was on the roof just off the right side of this A-6 as it trapped, standing on the foul line. The Boss anounced the "Emergency Pullforward" over the 5MC but did not say why...we soon found out why. I remember watching him in the groove, three gear, two motors, hooks down, hey what the HE** is...

SWO that didn't listen up during the pre-flight briefs. Lucky he did not break his back.

They're all fixed in the in position now. The F-14D did not even have any glove vanes. They helped stabilize the plane at transconic speeds and in the bomb pattern. Best of all they made a very cool screeching sound in the break at Miramar. r/ G

As long as there's no speculation or rumor mill gossip going on, it's okay. But that pretty much limits it to official releases out of the press.

Nothing. Won't hurt your eyes any more than the ejection with regard to soft tissue tears. You may however, be limited to what you can see during an evasion on the ground if you are vision limited. Most likely it will be "Wear contacts, but carry a spare set of glasses in your flight gear"...

Tell me the LT did not cover that in NS403... Luce 328D sends...

Tight fit... I saw a couple of posts that might help...try a search for "height restrictions" and/or "arthropometric" (sp?)..basically means will you fit the aircraft. r/ G

This was moving at 60 mph....now I understand better why we had such problems with this early on in this conflict enroute to Baghdad. I'm told this is Al Asad Airfield, the second largest airbase in Iraq. Can not vouch for validity of that statement. Al Asad is located in northern Iraq...

Pic of the lines in question... and on a T-45, too.

This sound like the superstition thread....

Pic's been floating around the internet for years. Don't do this very often. When a shooter leaves a carrrier after a tour of duty, his flight deck boots are launched down the cat in a ceremony with him doing the launch steps for a jet. Pretty funny to see a set of flight deck boot tied by...

Welcome Match762...is there really a sight like this out there? I shot 500m with a match grade rifle at a Camp Pendleton match and did okay. But you had to deal with the wind all the way down the range to the target. Fill us in please. r/ G

I'd do it all over again....1st flight Jul 85, last flew May 2002. Leaving shore duty in a month....165 MOF and counting.... "Fo-Daddy" r/ G

I plan on using a Goldenrod element. I'm using dessicant bags (1# size) until I get the heating element installed. Next time, I'll pay some movers. Hopefully will never have to move it. r/ G

Sad to think we'll keep him alive, healthy and well fed, in prison awaiting an execution that may never occur.

Holy Cow....I just got finished moving a gun safe into my garage. Holy crap it must weigh 800 freakin' pounds. It is made by Pro-Steel. With 10 locking pins in the door. The steel is 3/8 plate all over. Lock is Sargent and Greenleaf. :D The thing is about 52" tall, 29" wide and 24" deep. What...

It's like the movies TopGun, Pearl Harbor and Independance Day all mixed together...then add HAL.

Yep, in the more recent years we put huge drip pans under the jets and caught the hot venting fuel from the boost pumps at shut down. I keep thinking of that scene from Poltergeist where the old grave yard pops up in the yard during the big storm. All I can imagine is old fuel oozing out of the...

VS...that is hilarious.

Not bad idea to start with contaminated land right off the bat...can't get any worse. We used to dump fuel on the tarmac at shutdown all the time in old F-14As. Have you seen the costs to make El Toro property livable??? Billions.

Summer whites with a pisscutter...Awesome...up there with "Bug" I imagine, telling tall tales.

You want the truth!!!...You can't handle the truth!!!.... My favorite line: "My existence while grotesque to you.."...but I digress.... Yes, yes it's true, we are knocking on the A4sForever Infamous: "Door 'O Knowledge." Thanks for the info. :) :)

Sarcastic little pre-pubescent teen, isn't he? Or maybe he's a SWO undercover playing with us. Lets see...South Dakota School of Mines & Technology :icon_rage ...nope, not a SWO.:eek: Your next steps: Learn to spell, use the search function, read it all, develop intelligent questions to...

I imagine very few US airports are capable of handling a jet that big. What a beast. A4s chime in here....as it's bigger than a 747-400ER. r/ G

What is "ewww"????
