The captain would call down to my headset (CAG Paddles) to tell me he had to make a turn for winds, sea-space, or traffic. He'd typically say, "Hey, I've gotta turn after we catch this guy," or "If I make it gently, can you catch him in a turn?" Sometimes the captain himself wouldn't call, but the Boss would call after a conversation with the bridge.

How would you describe your level of skill/expertise between the first two you were paddles and the last time?

Sorry guys, misspeak. As others noted, I meant to say "wash khakis"

For the record, I have never worn any other uniform than flight suit on the boat that I can recall. I think I brought them on my first deployment, didn't need them, and never brought them on the boat again after that. I also bought those stupid blueberries, never wore them once, but I still have them if anyone wants some :)

Wash khakis were canceled in 2010, IIRC. CAG-5 squadrons, or at least we helo nerds, were wearing them for boat SDO. Once canceled, we convinced our front office to let us wear desert flight suits.

I also bought the blueberries, and I think wore them once for a Boat O watch in Thailand.

Such a waste.
