For a carrier pilot/NFO workups means back and forth to sea for a few weeks at a time off and on for the 6 months prior to deployment. Also don't forget to toss in early on a carrier air wing det to fallon and possibly typewing dets such as El Centro weapons dets and/or CQ dets prior to...

Drawbacks: Deployment and work up = long hours Family Separation Move every few years High divorce rate Can't neccessarily pick your next duty station Needs of the Navy are first Losing friends to mishaps, again and again... Some places cost of living is high Buying a home can be very hard to...

We have them here in C5F AOR. Won't go into specifics as the 5Ws make it classified. The reason you're not getting a robust response here is this is Air Warriors, not Sailorbob. None of these dets are on air assets. Not being sarcastic, just telling it like it is.

Your chances do not look good.

Wow...that would be horrible!!!

I have more than a few of those BUNOS in my logbook...

Navy slang: MOTO = "Master of the Obvious"

Yo Lomo, I thought it was really really momo or even really really dobo, but defintely not moto. domo, G-Hai :confused: is it just me...

Correct. Different propulsion method.

You're Out! Take a week or so vacation to cool off and reflect...then keep this topic to yourself.

That could be bad on a long flight...

Big words coming from a highschooler in New Mexico Military School. Maturity is what you really need. Words are just that...words. You got nothing to back that up yet, son. What kind of bizarre ego trip are you on? FOUL Strike 2...and you know what I mean.

PUI?

At least she's back for a little while... I like how the transfer of ownership occurs...when she touches the sea floor. "The decommissioned aircraft carrier USS Oriskany (CVA 34) is towed from the Intracoastal Waterway to Allegheny Pier on board Naval Air Station Pensacola. Known as the "Big...

I would highly recommend you volunteer for this and make it known when you are in the FRS that you want to be the legal officer. Squadrons (and associated JOs) will be clamoring all over to get you in their squadron. Guess why? Hello...McFly??? Is this thing on??? Legal O is one of...

Fire the "Laser"

Remember when I said the Surefire Aviator light was a great winging gift? White light and an NVG compatible light in one. http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/displ/carfnbr/382/prrfnbr/900 Steep price? Yes. Worth it? IMHO, yes.

See: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11961673/

White for pre-flight as some hydraulic fluids are red. You would never see the leak in red light. Then I flew with red light lens at night. Had the flashlight turned on for the cat shot, affixed to the front of my SV-2.

I've seen forums that literally turn into eBay parrot forums with everyone trying to show their funny finds off to others. I'd recommend we keep this to a minimum...like this one...how about strictly aviation related perhaps.

Also try google for CNATRA...check out the first hit.

While deployed USAA will lower your interest rate to 0%. Yes, 0% for the duration of your deployment. That's a good deal.

If you are talking about an actual yellow sheet (as in hard copy) it's on the back of one of the pages. However with the advent of them compooter thingys, it's no where to be found.

We had a weekly bold face NATOPS written exam. Also a bold face required after non flying in 7 days. Full blown NATOPS exams and sims once a year. r/ G

We are just humble fishermen out to make an honest living...(please ignore our AK-47s and RPGs..and lack of fishing nets)

The photo I think you are talking about shows a spot where a round impacted plate steel. Not a hole per se, but a mark where the round hit and mushroomed. Just chipped the paint. Of course it also appears the bad guys forgot you can't hide behind thin fiberglass hulls. r/ G Living the...

I'll take choppers... Green for St. Patrick's Day...

This has descended into a thread worthy of being locked.

I don't remember being four...

Tell the truth.

How about 1 post a day...with some thought behind it. Seriously. This is.... Strike 2 !!

Yes, but did you realize the shooting skill it takes to be able to intentionally just nick all 4 corners of a target? I'm impressed..... ;)

Blutonski..you're okay...It's real good to have a sense of humor. "Spawn of Fez" it is. And yes, the white strip is neutral lateral stick. No guessing if it's in the center...just line it up and push it forward to start recovery from most OCF.

I was always tempted to put on my orange bag and run around downtown SD near the courthouse...never did though. My luck I'd get shot.

FNG Trivia time: What's the purpose of the big white stripe in the Mig-29 cockpit instrument panel? No old guys please...

And in a thread correctly entitled: Nellis AFB "Petting Zoo"

I'll be wearing orange at the next 'Hook.

I recognize quite a few people in there...

Aren't jet skis considered a high risk activity? Got to ORM yourself. Do any aviation commands prohibit them for SNA/SNFOs?

Are you that kid from "That 70's Show" ??? Second from the right? Fez? Been to that museum way back when...

Background investigators will ask you about any cash transactions over the tripwire limit $10k. For a cash transaction over $10k, the bank and you have to fill out a gov't required form which OPM's financial center can see via your SSN. Lots of $9k withdrawls and deposits...no problem...

From the article... I was not aware of any red/white bombs in our inventory.

We wore orange bags in the VF-114 Aardvarks. Our sister squadron VF-213 wore blue bags.

Don't know the story behind that, but the plane shown is an F-14. Whether the explosion was caused by the jet or not, I don't know.

Why yes I did..yougottaproblemwiddat? Sicilian Bred and proud of it. Catacatania, Sicility.

Okay, I knew there was something oddly familiar about the thread name... Ah yes, Eddie Money: peaked at #16 in the summer of 82. My youngster year. What this has to do with lawyguy's newly cuffed date? Nothing. Ooh, somethin's got a hold on me now It's a feelin', burnin' like a lover on...

Sniff...sniff. I'll miss the jet that has been so much a part of my life for the past 20 years. Glad I got to see them on their last cruise here in the AOR. r/ G

I'm pretty sure we had a thread on communities and personalities a few months back. See if a search will pull it up. r/ G
