7 years in the hornet community and I never saw us eat our young. That was the Tomcat community. RPs and RRIOs were to be seen and not heard at VF-101, from what my tomcat buds have said.
That must be the exception and certainly not the rule. The RAG was always a special and fun place to be whether as stud or instructor. Ask your buds to post their experience then. I'm not buying that. The skipper and his instructors set the tone and 101 has had some great skippers...some better than others and only a very few that spoiled the legacy of a nurturing atmosphere. I'll always treasure my two passes through 101 and ate nor saw nor young eaten.
