I remember listing to the audio of a NFO crapping himself in and having to tell the pilot and having to calll back to the Carrier to request to come back and land... I have seached and can't find the link or file.

If you have it, will you post it?

...No self respecting NFO would ever $hit himself.....
ACTUALLY ... mine did. :)

Comin' back to NUW from the ship off SoCal --- I asked: " Hey, "Bud" (psedonymn) , what in the hell is that smell ... ???" :confused:

"Bud" replied while starting to writhe in the seat ... "Oh, little buddy (he called me that -- "little buddy" --- "Bud" was a giant of sorts) ... I've got big, big problems ..... Oh, little buddy, OH GOD ... !!!" :eek:

"JESUS CHRIST, "BUD" !!! " :eek:

On arrival ... everyone was wondering "where's 'Bud??" I actually didn't know until I looked toward the hangar and saw "Bud" tip-toeing around the hangar corner to disappear into some shameful place that I don't want to go --- complete with brown stain on the backside of his cherry red flight suit.

"Bud" was more than self-respecting ... a first-rate guy, he had been an enlisted aircrewman at the end of WW2, had flown EVERYTHING the Navy fielded in the intervening years and was the Navy's NFO "Top Hook".

But he still sh!t himself .... :icon_rast

He must not have respected himself.....:confused:
HE did .... it's just the chow on the ship didn't ... :) Plus, it's a tougher problem when you can't take a stroll to the back of the tube and take care of ... "business" .... in an EMERGENCY !!!
 
Had a friend (a MiG-killer too) who launched one day for a mission over North Vietnam. Before he ever went feet-dry, he called the ship desperately asking for permission to divert to Da Nang.

After several unanswered queries as to the "nature of his emergency," he finally answered in a loud voice, bluntly, "It's a personal emergency!" With that, he was finally given permission to divert.

However, not long after he had shifted frequencies, he returned back on the strike frequency. He stated he was now continuing on his original mission over the North.

When asked if he still needed to divert to Da Nang, he said it was, "too late for that now." While sitting in the unimaginable results of his personal emergency, he pressed on and completed his combat mission.

Later, we awarded him a Meritorious Brown Streaked Ribbon, complete with Combat "V".
 
I have it and will see if I could post it. I think it is a 2 seater from VFA-113 and it was during a training exercise in Europe. You will hear it usually during initial/refresher Crew Resource Management (CRM) training to help illustrate "Adaptability / Flexibility."
