Tie Cutting

[Squid]

I only just heard there's a tie cutting tomorrow for our squadron. It's off base at some pizza joint. I heard some talk about buying your onwing some booze, etc. What should I expect, meaning what am I going to have to know going into this?

are you getting your tie cut?

 

[bch]

bring 1 dollar bills. The pizza there (if it is B&J's is real good). Find out what your on-wing wants to drink and buy a bottle of it (if you are the one getting your tie cut.)

i hope you dont have a profile up on yahoo personals. If you do, skeds has found it and it may be up for show at your tie cutting...thats pretty much all they do all day.

lol. no, definetly not.

and zab, yes. better late than never.

Bring a bottle of good booze that your onwing likes a gift for him/her. For example, I gave mine a nice bottle of Cardhu (I think I spelled that right) scotch, which he cracked open right there and we drank most of it. Not all guys do this, and you might want to be sure your onwing actually drinks, if not, cigars or something along those lines. You might have to tell a funny/embarrassing story about your onwing or your experiences with him/her, so think of something relatively entertaining. If it's out in town, find out if you're wearing bags or civvies, don't be the one guy that sticks out.

Watch out for the inevitable drunk ensign/2nd lt who boozes too much and decides to tell an instructor or 2 off. Seen it happen, never results in anything positive.

Oh yeah, bring a tie to have cut. The uglier the better.

As far as a something humorous to say, never let the truth get in the way of a funny story!

The more far fetched the story, the better it usually is.

ZAB, isn't it a requirement to buy a bottle of Blue Label or Blanton's Bourbon for your onwing. I remember that. It might just be over at 28, that's it.

Yes, the more expensive and impressive your onwing gift, the more likely it is you will have a 70 NSS or higher.

ATKINS OMELETTE

What is a tie cutting?

 

[bch]

you get a neck tie cut when you solo in the T-34C. Your onwing cuts the tie, he keeps the part he cuts.

U provide booze... good booze if you liked your onwing... and well if you did not......

Tie Cutting is special. Especially if you have a good squadron that knows how to throw one. VT-2s were always awesome.

BCH and Fly Navy- Thanks for the explanation!
