What are the Navy medical standing on hemorrhoids and hernia or abdominal wall splits for new SNAs?

^ Standing with them is preferable to sitting on them ...
The flight doc discovered I had a hernia when I started primary, and I couldn't fly until I got it fixed. I was on convalescent leave for 2 weeks, and off for an additional 2 weeks because my name fell off the white board in scheds, so I no longer existed and I had to prove to the scheds bubbas that I actually was a SNFO in the squadron. I had my second hernia 8 years later while on the boat in a none flying status. The ship's surgeon fixed me up, and I should be good to go for another 8 years or longer hopefully.
Which IS ironic ... as "they" -- hemi's -- were a byproduct of sitting on a hard 'ol A-4 seat pan for > 1000 hours of ACM.

They aren't limited to the A-4 seat pan... The Phrog is good for brewin' 'em up as well...Which IS ironic ... as "they" -- hemi's -- were a byproduct of sitting on a hard 'ol A-4 seat pan for > 1000 hours of ACM.

60B as well. From the feel of the T-45 seat, it has the 'roid feel to it, but the 1.3 bags help a lot.
I haven't personally seen it, but there is talk of IPs using ass-donuts and other various pads for the multiple hops they do daily. Is this true and what about in the fleet? (i'm sure tactical wouldn't allow it, but other airframes?)
'roids are common. Shit, I suffered them after a transatlantic commercial flight of not getting off my ass except to piss.

I had Oregon Aero ass-pads in the -34, 57 and 60. Worth the coin.
Ejection seat aircraft, there is a seat-slap (dynamic overshoot) concern with pads. I'm gonna get slapped anyways, so I could really care less, but every inch counts in the -45, so I have not even asked if I can use a pad.
Have not seen anyone carry one out to the jet though.
Like I said though, the 1.3-1.6 bags help. About the longest you will be in the seat is 2 hours.

You're not going to make it in the combat-world of international airline pilots.
Bah, we all know you guys just turn on autopilot, get a cup of coffee, and take a nap anyway

ACTUALLY ... I do a max-performance, not-in-the-book departure
(747-style, that is), have my S/O get me a cup of coffee, and tell the F/O watch the auto-pilot .... while I take a nap ...
