Re: On the subject of callsigns - what was the most preposterous

[Pechs1]

Doug-<< Until recently, he was the skipper at VFA-81. They had a
"mini-scandal"
when they pulled in from cruise last December, and the jet with his callsign
on it made the TV news.

The Navy in its finite wisdom did a JAG investigation to determine command
culture. [Paraphrase] How could the CO (himself) allow the command to use
such a callsign and what kind of image does that promote. >><BR><BR>

Does that mean the Oceana O Club is doomed to closure if some congresscritter or
other malcontent finds the tailfin on display in the back bar?

Nah. They'll just paint a rainbow over the bunny.

We had our squadron insignia over the bar in the stag section of the
Patrick AFB O'club and a graying PIO WAF Captain started ****ing and
moaning because our motto was 'we get ours at night'. Hell, the 319th
was a nightfighter squadron in Korea but she had to put her own
interpretation on it. At least someone had earlier changed the tomcat
from straddling the rocket (bright red) to throwing it. She also
mentioned that over in USAFE she had been bodily ejected from the
Landstuhl stag bar for protesting about male maleness. A genuine waste
of oxygen, time and energy on the hoof.

About time to once again ask WTF does females bring to the dinner plate of
warfare??

How does it make the military a better fighting force?

Answer is it doesn't, it costs more $, reduces our combat capability. It is
silly to trifle with our combat capability. It may get people promoted but it
also gets people killed uneccessarily.

Glasd to hear it. It was always fun to take the black F-4 to airshows when I

With a daughter who did 16 years on active duty, I often asked
myself, "What is our navy coming to?".
