Stupid Questions about Naval Aviation (Part 3)

[phrogpilot73]

There's a reacurring segment on the Pentagon Channel about safe grilling. The Mommy five side is real.

Are you f'in kidding me?

What's next, videos on NSF approved hand washing procedures? Testing meat temperatures to ServSafe standards (which oh, by the way - means medium or worse)...

Make sure you wear your reflective belt when grilling.... in the event there is a fire, you want the fire fighters to be able to rapidly identify you!

Don't tell anyone, but I'm not even allowed to have a grill where I live. SAFETY VIOLATOR!!!

It's okay, though, as I grill with my gloves on and sleeves rolled down.

Just about how many women naval aviators apply for the Blue Angels every year? ? ? --seems like every single one of them were turned down ?
I think it's about time we see women in the jet demo team like in the U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds...
That'll be pretty Badass!

 

[Brett327]

Why is the gender of an applicant relevant?

That barrier has already been broken. Look at her now.

While I agree with you, can you seriously say that in today's military, especially when events like this are such big news?

She's the "pilot" of plane #8? Really? Anybody else see anything wrong with that?

I'd expect better from the Blues PAO.

I figured this would be a great thread to ask this lol:

Any aviation options for a 39yr old no-prior-service? How about perhaps other than Navy?

Can't speak for the others but pilot/nfo is out for the Navy. As for enlisted aviation options, I went through bootcamp with a 40 year old but she was going to be a PS, so it may be possible on that side.

Hey.. has anyone else gotten dead/stuck pixels on their phones from G's? Had a pretty long PA flight yesterday and now my screen is f'ed. Idk if something in the storage bay was squeezing up against it in maneuvers or not. I guess I'll try putting it in my pocket or leaving it in the briefing spaces next time.

Seriously though... super weak.

I fly with my phone and wallet in my g-suit pocket. I've never had a problem... What is a PA flight?

The iPhone has a maximum operating altitude of 10,000 ft (not joking) so I wouldn't put it in the unpressurized storage compartment. I always keep mine in the g-suit pocket and have yet to have an issue with it
