I remember what it's like to have all the weight and none of the thrust. And to be clean throughout most of an intercept. And to have Non-HOL tapes. And ..... Real nice Chariot.

I loved how in SFARP ground school, we were like the white elephant in the room. "ok for you APG-73 guys, here is a slide or two so that you feel like people.....you all are HOL right?"

Seriously kidding, obviously, but I did touch M 1.41 the other day before the nose started shimmying uncomfortably......so that makes me cool right???? no.......ok brb I'm just carelessly sliding my sleeve over the dump switch and not activating it

Oceana NEX checkout area ode to the cumslingers.....somehow I never noticed the super secret door.....guess it's all that gay rhino imagery that makes me avert my eyes and visualize God's Chariot (lot 14 chuck in case anyone hadn't read the Bible and was wondering)

You are correct sir.

Sheesh...probably a TACAMO guy.

Edit - just noticed the callsign on the jet. I am amazed that one made it past the fun police.

If one shooter is good, two shooters are AWESOME. I wonder if three equals plaid?

No, the guy shooting is a trainee under instruction. You can also tell by the extremely clean and bright flight deck jersey. The guy with his thumb up is a qualified Shooter. Sadly, the Marines don't do the Shooter gig.
