Fast, neat, average...

[Mu2Driver]

From the inside....

From the Dungeons of the well lit Vandenberg Hall...at usafa
There have been several e-mails to/from the AOCs here requesting info on anybody from the Washington D.C. area. First asking if any of their cadets were from D.C. then they asked if they had any neighbors that they had told about this (Fast...Neat...Average) stuff. But luckly they couldn't kick anybody out over this incident...as that seems like that is all they want to do lately.

This whole thing is very stupid and only a true MORON would do something like this.
"Form O-96 for the Table Commendant please sir."
Fast.Neat. Average.Friendly.Good.Good.

God the nightmares are still presisting and I did this almost 3 years ago!!!

STOP!!!!!!!

Please make it stop. There is no need to explain this. It doesn't really mean anything. It just brings up things that should be squished and stomped on. I can think of other ways to do what this kid wanted by not stating that retched remark. Schofield's quote, GO!!!!!

P.O.S.T.

Does anyone still have a dream where it's M40 and you've missed an English course for the whole semester? Usually my biggest concerns in this dream are how many tours I'm going to march and how I'm going to pass the final exam.

Goofy terms

It's no goofier than the USNA room inspection grade of "Shipshape and seamanlike." I always felt dirty reading that.

Hi Guys,
I'm prior Navy enlisted, but went to military school for a couple of years and the school emulated Annapolis. Anyway, I can still remember the dreaded questions at mess:

1. How's the Cow?

2. How long have you been in the Navy?

I rememer the answer to the first question and a little of the second. And this was nearly 30 years ago! YIKES!

Hey BMD,

Did Congress ever finally shutdown the USNA Dairy? As I recall this was one of Senator Proxmire's "Fleece Award" winners". for those wondering, USNA operates(-ed) their own dairy to supply the middies with dairy products.

Ummmm......

Hey, the kid was a geek for doing that. BUT.....

Please tell me I'm not the only one here who thinks the captain was a little uptight for taxiing back to the gate because SOMEONE PASSED HIM A NAPKIN WITH THREE WORDS ON IT.

I mean, really. What's next, a captain who taxis back to the gate because he finds porn pasted to the backside of a cockpit panel?

Aren't we all just losing our minds a little bit here?

Now give me a 16-count rifle movement while reciting John Stuart Mill's quote. And then do 20 four-count pushups. And pass me the Simichrome, I have to polish my window runners.

P.S. I heard folklore once that the Academy once wanted to do away with the venerated Form O-96, but the cadet wing revolted. I find that hard to believe, but I think it's still around!

 

[KC-10 Driver]

Since we're going into all this Academy lore, can someone please tell me after all these years what the heck MOCUS means?!!!

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

Yes, I have too much time on my hands

Since those in the know wouldn't say, I did a little google search. This is what I found. I can't vouch for it's accuracy.

"Air Force Triva"

In light of the recent note that brought back a plane from National here's some Air Force trivia for a change:

Form O-96 – This form is used by cadets at their table in Mitchell Hall to report on the quality of food and service. The real intent is to use the Form O-96 as a training aide to teach fourth classman how to fill out an Air Force form (black pen, within the space given); how to make corrections on a form (single line through and initials); how to properly make comments, including negative ones, on an official form; and how to follow procedures in a short period of time under pressure. USAFA folklore explains that the normal blocks to check if the meal and service were fine: fast-neat-average, friendly-good-good. These words were allegedly used in Vietnam as a challenge and response during a successful rescue attempt in which the downed pilot was a USAFA graduate, but did not remember the challenge/response for the day. Cadets and graduates on commercial flights have been known to write on a napkin “fast-neat-average” then ask a flight attendant to give it to the cockpit crew for the proper response.

Echo..... echo....

Interesting... Sounds exactly like what I posted.

Guess I should just edit out the boring parts next time.
