Yeah, didn't see the WSO standing duty along with Newt (maybe they just didn't show it). Took one crumby stick hand day, but two bodies/minds to get into that low state situation (they have an efeing gas guage in the back too, moving map, divert gouge etc........).
Did the WSO get FNAEBed too??????? Hope so.
Unfortunatelly, the cheerleading from the backseat stops when things go south after safe on deck, all the glory, none of the punishment sometimes. Part of being part of the Single Anchor Master Race I suppose.
Had a DH try to talk me into putting an LGTR into the SEALs house at BT-11 at night with a blury LANTIRN display, didn't hit the pickle cuz it didn't look exactly right. I surelly would have been burned at the stake for that (as deserved, wonder how it all would have gone down).
All the sub-sub-sub conians in the audience should understand that each and every one of us could be Newt on any day strapping into the jet (lord knows I had a few days/nights). This is not a forgiving business, bad days have consequences... don't think you're toooooooooo good or talented.
