And with this, there is no reason for anyone here to every offer their opinions or life experiences to these threads?
Understanding our contributors and what drives them, their experiences, where they are coming from is what brings strength and value to the discussion.

I am at a loss as to why anyone here feels the need to make personal attacks.
If you find something said to be of no interest to you, then just don't respond.
But don't speak for the rest of us.

Play victim all you want - but your experience is different than most Marines I have encountered. You literally tried to defend "collaterals" as a key learning block for Marine aviators, then flash your length of service around like a badge of honor as if it made you more credible. Then you had nothing to offer with regards to why they're ineffective or the avenues for improvement. Your argument is a stark contrast to the reality of most ready rooms, and you're the guy we all rolled our eyes at simultaneously for drinking the kool-aid.

I'm sorry but having the LPA running around throwing up voting assistance posters or making sure the lost and found order was written correctly is a not critical to career development. Most of us know collaterals are for optics with a few exceptions.

Not intentionally trying to derail this thread so we can agree to disagree.

Play victim all you want

Again, not sure why you insist on the personal attack.
I have never stated, nor implied being a victim or anything else.

I clearly have stated what life was like for the vast majority of those I personally know during the late '70 through the early '90s.
The remainder of your post is an opinion, that I have read, and can comment on or not.
Apparently, service life has significantly changed in the past few decades.
So I do not disagree with your comments, but recognize that we have had different experiences during different decades.

Some Bell 407 buffoonery. Not dissimilar from the R44 that landed in front of me as I was taxiing out of my parking spot... Kids - don't be this guy!

I’d say he was in a bit of a rush.
