Question about Rear Admiral, lower half by
Pechs1
Shows ya all how long since I retired. Does O-8, Rear Adm., lower half, wear

When did they stop calling same pay grade 'Commodore'? I know they did for a
while.
Do Commanders of small-ish groups of ships, smaller than a CVBG, are they still
refered to as 'Commodore'?? Even if...

President Bush is doing well. by

Subject: Our worst president?
Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They
complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was
the worst president in U.S. history.
Let's clear up one point: America didn't start the war on terror. Try to
remember,...

INS Alignment at Sea by
Larry
How is the INS aligned at sea on a carrier that is moving at 30kts?
Actually it was quite a challenge.
I was AEAN Flight Deck Troubleshooter assigned to VAW-116, launching the
E-2C Hawkeye off the pointy end of the USS Constellation during the WestPac
of 80-81 when we had to do a "handset align"...

Ejection -v- Forced Landing by
Cockpit Colin
I've read about the experiences of a few pilots who have had to eject - by
all accounts it's an extremely violent process which none would care to
repeat. Obviously it's done as a last alternative when the potential
benefits out weigh the considerable risks.
In the GA world it's not an option that...

Carrier readiness? by
rob
Hi
Somebody who knows nothing here :-)
I was wondering how alert a carrier is during a normal peacetime cruise
Do they constantly have early warning aircraft aloft?
If something untoward happens how long would it take to be fully battle
ready?

Talking heads by

Sure is irritating to listen to the media report the crash of a Blue
Angels F/A-18 at MCAS Beaufort.
The more they ramble the more anyone with any aviation background
recognizes these folks haven't a clue. For example; who went down?
Well let's see the aircraft are numbered 1 thru 6. Which...
