P-8 Poseidon's Exanding Mission Set

[TyKing]

Hey guys, I just read an very interesting article about the NAVY potentially expanding the P-8 mission set with new weapons and systems. I'd love to get some insight on this from some P-8 Pilots and NFOs. How's the community mindset on this? Are people really pushing for this or do squadrons just want to keep doing their traditional missions of ASuW [anti-surface warfare], ASW [anti-submarine warfare], and limited ISR [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance]? Honesty, from a outsider looking in, it seems like expanding the Poseidon's Mission With New Missiles, Mines, Bombs, And Decoys seems like a great idea. What are you guys thoughts?

Navy To Greatly Expand P-8 Poseidon's Mission With New Missiles, Mines, Bombs, And Decoys

The plan reflects the better part of a decade of debate about expanding the roles and missions of these maritime patrol aircraft.

How to separate cool patch wearers from annoying twerps: presence or absence of inordinate freak-outs over irrelevant minutiae.

Other inordinate freakout candidates: calling it AAA vs ADA, or CRM vs TCC.

As far as I’ve seen, most fall into the category of people that freak out over the minutiae.

This might be the fastest I’ve seen an AW post go off topic ?

Yes. Because it’s only distracting to people that have been trained to be distracted by it.
