Its pretty common at Whiting. Half of the flight surgeons that just finished ground school have them, along with a good third of my API class. Nobody seems to care much anymore.
Not sure what info you're basing your comment on (and it might be true), but the latest class that started flying this week has helmets, they just haven't been finished being built.
They're just a uniform. I swear, it's like I'm back in shoeland again. They would always get uppity when we'd wear our tan flight suits and not actually in the dessert. It's no different than if a shoe decides to wear his wash khakis instead of his blue pajamas. It's just a uniform.
I don't remember being issued my nav bag or kneeboard either.
It is your God given right to b**ch from time to time, but pilots use that stuff, too, and we also aren't issued it. And really, I'm glad. If the issue nav bag would be anything like that kneeboard I saw people with, no thanks.
Maybe he means helmet bag???
Yeah, copy all. I've never seen such an animal for the SNAs.
I don't know if my post caused any confusion, but I have never seen an issue nav bag for SNA, either. That was my (not so clear) point.
Says the 2nd Lt to the Fleet experienced salty NFO...
Well it had to be said before college physics wore off, and what better time than as a lieutenant? Haha.
Good...bad...I'm the guy with the gun. [Thank you Army of Darkness...]
I've got more months underway than you've had paychecks. Sit down.
Wow...things have gotten bad in gear issue, huh? Almost makes me feel bad for having a spare flight suit I use for doing house work and oil changes (got a hole in the knee and had it replaced and they let me keep it).
Seriously, though, don't stress the gear too much. I promise you won't fly without having the opportunity to get all the safety gear you need. If you do fly without it, it's all on you.
