One guy, one girl.

One guy, one girl.

No, it's "two girls, one cup".

 

[Scrapdog]

No, it's "two girls, one cup".

I take it you were one of those two girls in the video.

The article said it was an innapropriate relationship between a man and a woman. I've always thought the appropriate relationships were between a man and a woman. I guess its the navy and they like it man on man.

You are a dork!

The Blues have been a politically correct contest for a long time now. Many "Ham Fists", M & F are selected because they promote this BS. More than a Few Good Men have been Sh*T Canned from the Angels because the didn't play like Alter Boys.
"The Blue Angle" was a Bordello, CDR "Butch" Voris and Lt. Wickendoll decided it was the perfect name for "The Team". The guys who flew for, and maintained, "The Team" lived up to that reputation until the inquisition started in '92.

Cheers to the Old School.

Cheers to the Old School.

If you define "Old School" as team members having sex with each other while out of sight of momma and the kids, then you can keep your Old School.
The Blues I've met and known over the years have been excellent pilots. Ham Fists, my ass.
And, yes, it's a recruiting tool. There's a certain level of responsibility involved when you join The Team.
Spin it how you want, but officers of the same unit sleeping around with each other doesn't help the unit's mission. And when The Boss says not to do it, I don't care if you agree or not: The Boss' word is law. Cross him and you are history.
All military units turn a blind eye to certain shenanigans. At some point, action gets taken.

Isn't that from "TOP GUN"?

You even Capitalized the The Boss... It would look better as The Boss...

Now that you mention it, it does sound like the line from Top Gun.

That type of s#!t is a no-go in any military unit. Much less one that is in line of sight with the public the way the Blues are.

are you kidding me? If my old squadron got rid of every pilot who was guilty of fooling around (be it with an enlisted girl, a married girl or cheating on your wife) we would have lost half our pilots.

My humble opinion, unless the person you are fooling around with is in your direct chain of command, it is none of the militaries business. And even then I think they should be able to show some sort of damage to the unit before any action is taken.

Are you certain the female involved was an officer?

I hope that's an exaggeration, but if not, your squadron's an embarrassment

And my old squadron would not have.

Probably an Air Force thing?

In the military, that stuff gets you tossed out of the squadron, with a FitRep you gotta sign twice. If they can show "harm", you get a court martial.
