[thatsthejoke.jpg]There’s nothing foolproof about it. You still have to fly the airplane. You just do it in a different way.

Meh...........Magic Carpet will kill it.
jmquate: Yes?Wrong. Do you have much experience with it?
Landing grades on the boat ~= ranking of JO's for fitrep performance. Is that no longer correlated?As usual, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
As a non-hooker looking at my own community, I'd say we don't have enough friendly competition when it comes to stick skills. Some dudes can't even taxi on center line, let alone put the wheels in the boxes on the CVN (even after wobbling around at 20 ft for 2 minutes). Disgraceful.
Don't feel bad. I was told the same thing back in the day. In fact, while doing my CCDG tour my Air Ops boss requested I put flight hours and landings as the first bullet on my FITREP input. When I tried to explain that no one really cared much in our community about that and that, "I AM on a CCDG staff right now. How much do you think I fly?" he didn't want to listen. Not until the COS got my FITREP did he send it back and tell me to take that $hit off and put it at the bottom, or leave it off all together.Landing grades on the boat ~= ranking of JO's for fitrep performance.

Pretty sure it is...We always tried for the ever elusive CENTERED light for free deck landings. Is that still a thing?

Wow, didn’t realize that. I always assumed the pointy nose guys’ deck landing grades were a big part of their JO ranking.That is not correlated. I don't know if it ever was. The only thing similar that I heard of is maybe one of the FITREP bullets make a mention of being a "top ten ball flyer" or something to that effect. And that wasn't the bullet itself, just one part of one bullet. These are definitely not used for ranking JOs or DHs or anyone else.

Can it at least hurt you?
Just a throw away joking post. Apologies for taking this thread down another rabbit hole. I'll sit in the corner and color.Wrong. Do you have much experience with it?
They still have a min grade you need to get orders to CVW-5/Japan?You’d have to be a pretty far outlier for them to hurt you. If your performance is low enough you can expect a talking to from the squadron’s head Paddles or from Cag Paddles. If it still doesn’t improve you can expect remediation in the form of doing FRS CQ again and in the worst case it can end up in a FNAEB.
I cannot stress enough how uncommon that is. While that does happen once in a blue moon, we are talking about a pilot that is consistently struggling behind the boat and safety is in question.
Generally guys with lower GPAs are still safe and consistent; they’re just not eye watering with their landings. Being in that category is absolutely 100% fine. Just be safe and consistent and nobody will care, even if your GPA is in the lower percentiles.
Boat GPA is not used for FITREP rankings.

Did back in my day.
