Did all of the JO working toward their qual rotate through that job, or were you the dedicated "boarding officer?"

Supposed to have done... the captain preferred having a "primary" BoatO with a few others as reliefs.
As Floyd said: "Fuck you, beeotch!"
More like different species... Like Galapagos, Gentoo, and Adelie are all birds; nonetheless, like all the other Penguin species, they have wings but can't fly...
Sorry my 2 anchored amigos, too easy!

I know some stick monkey that isn't getting his banana.
RIO's, WSO's, TACCO's, ECMO's and SEVAL's are (or were
) all NFO's, they are just the aircraft specific designations/names for NFO's.
To expound upon the banana-less monkey's statemets, RIOs and WSOs (as well as ECMOs) are all NFOs. It just depends on the aircraft. Prowler NFOs are referred to as ECMOs (electronic countermeasures officer) and Hornet/Super Hornet NFOs are WSOs. RIOs went away with the retiring of the Tomcats.
-Flash beat me to it
Speaking of which, Flash, what is a SEVAL?

Sigh......I give you three guesses, your hint is to look under my username.
No one asked for comments from the peanut gallery, especially from a smart ass like you!
1. Do Helo and Harrier guys get graded by an LSO?
1a. What is their form of an LSO called if different?
2. If so, how do they do they grade on LHDs and small boats?
3. When you guys refer to a "small deck" are you referring to small boats like destroyers, or are you referring to LHAs and LHDs?

I may not be a Harrier bubba but my search-fu is strong today . . . here you go.
For helos...no, other than the HAC pointing out that you're not on centerline. There's no greenie board for helos (at least not in HSC).
Small boy would be a single spot, air capable ship...like a FFG, DDG, or CG.
LHAs and LHDs are called Gators.
what was the roll rate on the A-4, I heard 720/s?

1. Helo guys - no.
1a. Helo guys have an LSE (Landing Signal Enlisted). No grades, just gives us mainly advisory signals. Only mandatory ones they give us are waveoff and hold.
2. No grades. Just alot of smack talk in the cockpit/cabin.
3. Small decks are DDGs, FFGs, CGs, LSDs, and LPDs (one or two spots for helos). LHAs and LHDs are called big decks, or big deck amphibs.
EDIT - Gators fits for LHAs, LHDs, LSDs, and LPDs as well...
