One man's comparison of USN and USAF

[talondriver]

Yahtzee,
You need to watch better porn!

I've seen life on both sides. They are definitely different sides of the same coin. I wouldn't trade my experiences in either or done it differently...

DUDE!! I hope you were talking about the AF vs. Marine thing

Yahtzee! You heading this way?? I saw your name on a list.

Yahtzee! You heading this way?? I saw your name on a list.

Was I on the good list or the bad list?

I did the interview last week. I should be back at CBM next week or as soon as they get me in the system.

Yahtz

P.S. Did you read that e-mail about growing a "monkey-tail" from Chuck E. Cheese? I had tears I was laughing so hard.

It looked like the good list to me.

I read about Chuck E Cheese's IFE...talked to the safety dude on duty at the time. Hilarious!!

Having flown in a Navy squadron and participating in several joint endeavors, I have nothing but deep respect and admiration for Naval Aviatiors (and Navy people in general).

In my mind, there is NO question they have a tougher job to accomplish with more personal sacrifice. I thank them for their service!

Hey, Patmack,

How's the training going.... you must have selected by now, I'm sure you are happy, where are you?

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

speaking of "that chick in singapore." I finally found out what the banana is... you gotta be a sick puppy to eat that banana...

Someone has misinformed you, Pat. The banana doesn't have anything to do with that "chick" in Singapore.
I never saw a single AF dude eat the banana in Okinawa... Well, I did hear about the F-15 crew chief eating a different kind of banana and getting caught in Kadena, but that's a different story.

As long as there are tail hooks there will be AF envy!

The AF builds their golf coourses then call congress for runway money. The Navy begs for every cent to keep the ship running.

Heard the USAF charter aims to take all military flying from the Navy. True?

I grew up Navy watching Dad kick Soviet as$..... What a gift.....Thanks...

SCOFF HEAVILY!!

I did hear about the F-15 crew chief eating a different kind of banana and getting caught in Kadena, but that's a different story.

Please, that's such an urban rumor. Just like my buddy who lost his kidney in Vegas.

The AF builds their golf courses then call congress for runway money.

...and Navy pilots fly cross-country to play on those courses. "Apples and oranges"...different pots of money (Golf courses and runways).

I grew up Navy watching Dad kick Soviet as$.....

You're right, the AF had nothing to do during the Cold War.

Urban legend my a--!

I'm just a young guy, but some of my LIFT IP's (old-craniums from the F-4 and F-15A days) talked of the incident in great detail. They swore it happened. In fact, I recently talked to a Kadena Eagle Driver who confirmed the story I heard at lift. It was the "Fighting Cocks" at Kadena. Thereafter referred to as the "Biting Cocks"

Did I say envy or did you just confirm it? Ships are just damm expensive to keep up....

Anyone can land a jet on 10,000 feet of concrete 200 ft wide....

"Col. let's get crazy and take the fifth high speed, we'll be the talk at the O'club!"

Not envy..pride.

Everything's expensive nowadays. From P-3 toilet seats to carriers. But, you won't find a B-2 on Ebay...yet.

I needed that 10,000 feet of runway when I sat alert with a 488,000 pound jet.

Yes alert...Rez, I wish you would have told me about your dad earlier. Now I feel like those four years of nuke alert were a waste.

And Rez? Can you still get in the O'club?

Lt. Disco thinks anyone who can land on a boat or is willing to fly under 10,000 AGL is a "cowboy".
