If you set your standards low enough, you'll never be disappointed...

I'm actually sorry I found this...even sorrier I read as much as I did.

Exactly. Set the bar so low that you don't have to reach up far to move it even lower.
For the OP, yes, it's a term but it's fallen out of disuse around naval aviation, at least with the people on here. Don't forget that one person's experience in naval air can be different from somebody in a different squadron, wing, coast, or community. Maybe the word will make a comeback, maybe it's still a thing in some places, maybe it not.
Pretty sure the origin is from the phrase "drive a car." Don't think too much into it.
It was great to see a thread get off track so quickly! I mean it was hardly even on the rails to being with, heh heh

You fucking fuck! I just wasted five potentially good minutes of my life reading that! Well, you tried to warn me.
Wasn’t really a thing by the time I got to Whidbey in the late 90’s, by which time the Intruders and all the VA squadrons were gone leaving VAQ the only jet game in town. Prior to that, it was apparently a thing.
And no, plenty of boys among us Prowler crew.
Fucking self-fellating douchebags...

Hands off Ukraine! Feet too
Bad news - guess there will be war then
Good news - that war will be mostly electronic one
OK..a serious answer (followed by a better answer). I use -hawk Pilot but I have used -hawk Driver because I have flown both Seahawks and Blackhawks. The medics in the back of our aircraft are more full of themselves than the worst pointy nose fliers. To them, we are just the ambulance drivers.
@Sculpin are you listening . . . . . ?
"If you don’t know the standards, it’s noted and you’re an idiot. It only takes a couple minor clown-act performances before a reputation as a clown gets solidified."
You have no idea.
Anyone who introduces themself by a call sign at my current gig is usually followed up by me going ‘lemme guess, you flew f-xxteeners, right?’
Kernels, amiright?!
