    IA preAPI?

    Get a good stash job you enjoy. Work at DWEST, survival school or find a squadron that will sponsor you for 6 months of no-cost TAD. Do OHARP duty in your home town, work with the PAO on base, give tours, etc... Lots of ways to "contribute."

    The media and aircraft

    If I had a nickel for every time the F-14 has been called the F-15 and vice versa, I'd have at least $2.65. But they look "exactly" alike...HUH? Look alike? WTF?

    Piper Crash

    What was the cause of the engine failure. Usually you have a pretty good idea. When I was Air Ops on a carrier we had an attrite from the HSL rag as an assistant working the ATO shop. He was building hours for a civilian career. He was used to flying C-172, but got checked out in a Piper...

    New vs Old Style

    I found the new style of forum depiction is always very slow to load. I went to User CP and changed the forum style back to the original and the pages load almost immediately. So I'm using that style now. Why would the new look always take a long time to fill in?

    Wrong. Huh? You really need to know what you're talking about around here. We've had tower flowers as long as I've been in (21 years). CATCC reps do not stand TAO. What?!!! Ships' company officers are TAOs in combat. CATCC has it's own manning. The airwings sends reps to CATCC during...

    The Tomcat Legacy; 35+ years from Fleet Air Defender to Recce to Precision Strike

    Come on now folks...do you really think it was just "coincidence" he got the last combat trap in the Tomcat? Unless we can get an input from JO in Vf-31 or VF-213, I don't think we'll really know.

    Clam Shelling

    I did on one occasion order a very unruly drunk sailor be cuffed and put in wire stokes. As much for his own safety as the Shore Patrol. He was a very obnoxious drunk and we had a corpsman check him periodically to make sure he wasn't dead. He was too unruly to be allowed on a liberty launch...

    The Tomcat Legacy; 35+ years from Fleet Air Defender to Recce to Precision Strike

    This is BS when the CAG steals the glory...as if being the CAG is not enough.... When the USS John C Stennis was coming up on some remarkable number of traps for the whole carrier like 50,000 (can't remember the exact number). The CAG was flying in a Tomcat to get the "magic trap" we even...

    Sidearms

    We learned on snub nose .38s (late 80s) ..we were issued .45s (early 90's)....then we went to Beretta 92FS' (later in 90's). We did a squadron buy of guns prior to Gulf War 1 with an LT who had a FFL. I got a Glock 19 which I flew with and a Beretta 92SB Type M. Still got both of them. We...

    I flew with a pilot who used to fight the F-14 down to 0 knots. Actually would intentionally depart the aircraft with the knowledge it would depart in the direction he needed it to go. Then recover with a bunt and re-engage. Bogeys hated it as they figured they had the jet in their sights and it...
