Take El Tee's test battery on how much advice you can give.

I have been accepted to a commisioning program. If you can answer yes, congratulations, you can give advice on how to get in.

I am currently in OCS/TBS or a pipeline. If you answered yes, congratulations, you are qualified to advise on getting in, your commissioning program and your pipeline.

I loooked at my uniform this morning and saw both wings and a deployment ribbon. Congratulations, you have walked the walk. You can dispense wisdom at will but be ready to get called on it if you are full of crap.

If you did not answer yes to any of the above questions, you can give advice on cars, guns, college girls, football, onlinegames, whatever. Just please don't pass out second-hand knowledge on aviation because "You know a guy."

I looked at my left hand and saw a wedding ring. Congratulations, you can keep your mouth shut because you are automatically wrong about anything you say. :)

Very Respectfully,

El TEE

BTW this list is not exhaustive, feel free to add at will.

so true...and my wife wonders why i never talk
 
You can only give out gun advice if A4s, Squeeze, or myself agree it is correct ;)
 
I think we may have to make this a REQUIRED READING thread. Nicely done.

Maybe I should create a JQR with a logical flow through the quals resulting in Advice Giver Outer and then ultimately reaching the pinnacle of the qual process....Professional Advice Giver Outer. :D

~sigh~ Leave it to the SWO to take all the fun out of it. Or maybe that's what passes for humor on the bridge?

Skipper: Guess what?
JO: What's that, Sir?
Skipper: You're getting an adverse fitrep!
JO: Ha! Good one, Sir!
Skipper: No, seriously, you suck.

I guess the humor is lost on you aviators. It was actually making fun of the stupid sh!t that I put under my name. Look to your left and right below my name you read what? Yes, it says Professional Advice Giver Outer. Hey, not everyone can be a PAGO, and not all aspire to be one. Lighten up Francis.
 
Come on guys. I know this isn't the best medium for sarcasm, but I can't help but toss it out there. My appologies if you didn't get the tone, but I refuse to alert people of impending sarcasm. Just trying to poke fun at my chauffers. After all, My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment.
 
no worries....except we (SWO's) call our "skippers", Captain. I hear "skipper" and I start looking for the sail boat.

Overheard in the field at Quantico...
Company Commander: Guess what?
Platoon Commander: what's that, sir?
Comapany Commander: you suck!
Platoon Commander: Ha ha ha, that's funny, sir. You almost got me there.
Company Commander: no, really, you suck....and you're not very funny

...p.s., I would have given you "rep" for the original ... but the SWO-derived NAZI-like AW "system" would not allow it ... now where's the "humor" in that ... ???? :icon_mi_1

Guess I watched too many episodes of "Gilligan's Island" growing up.

And the conversation (at least with my SPC) would have gone more like this:
SPC: So what's the plan, Lt?
Me: Well, Sir, the enemy is about [X] meters away, and I think we
should execute a flanking--
SPC: Lt [my name]?
Me: Yes, Sir?
SPC: Shut the hell up.
ME: Aye, Sir.
 
JQR, He11, let make it part of the Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) we are all "SUPPOSED" to complete prior to Deptartment Head/CO.
