New Air Boss takes over

[Scoob]

Well, it's a pretty simple process. Otto made an assumption that anyone could make and decided to use it as his original, interesting idea. It's a common practice among people who, instead of just listening, try to add their two cents to a conversation dominated by at least nickels. In the above case, he assumes (and I'm not going to question it either) that the VADM is a fine man and Naval Officer based on the fact that he has come so far with such success, and because he said nice things to Otto's wardroom, where the comment was likely spoken by those with a bit more experience.

Noble try, sir, but me thinks we have yet to discover the kryptonite strong enough to wither that super power of internet-proffered-masturbatory-"knowledge"-dispensing.

Soldier on, hero, soldier on.

Eh, minor detail. Still not a helo guy, that is what we should all take away from this.

That and fact he likely would have not made O-7 much less lofty O-9 rank wearing Air Force blue. He made right choice to transfer to a sea service where backseaters have equal opportunity to command and make flag rank up to O-10 level as demonstrated in USMC and USN

Equal opportunity? Nice one. Don't you mean semi-equal?

 

[HeyJoe]

Equal opportunity? Nice one. Don't you mean semi-equal?

Nope

Wow. You cut to the core of me, Baxter.

Yeah, sorry you had to be the victim of my frustration... you're certainly not the only practicioner of this technique.
