As an SNA who hasn't proven shit to the Navy yet - this is NOT the "banter" that you can engage in yet. Get a warfare device, then you can throw down with someone who has one.
This is probably the attitude that keeps SNA/SNFO's (the unworthy) from showing up at the club or wearing brown shoes.
OK -that's it. I have tremendous respect for the 1310's and of course 1315's out there. But yes I've heard the black/brown debate for too many years. According to the regs -all O's can wear them.
I'm going out and buying a pair of Bates Browns just to be "that guy". I've been out of the NAV for umpteen years and darn it I'm now going to wear Brown Shoes! Oh yeah and I'm going to bear LARGE Rum-Cokes and LARGE beers whilst I wear them. In fact "Only" while I wear them... let's remember the brown shoes who for whatever reason aren't physically able to wear them anymore ...for what ever reason.
And for you OCS candidates- make sure you show up on day one in Newport wearing Brown shoes! The pain will only last a few months.

KILLER idea, sir. I'll give it some serious thought.
*end threadjack. I'll go back to my corner until I have my warfare device.
It's about knowing your place. A stud (or less) that's yet to do shit but show up for flight training, giving shit to ANYONE with ANY warefare device, that's been deployed, and been on the pointy end... deserves a kick in the ass and be put in their place. Phrog is right. Show up to the club, have a blast, socialize, just know where the lines are.
Not at all, I don't think. And he wasn't exactly your standard SWO...prior-enlisted in the Army, forward Naval artillery spotter (with jump wings), did a tour with the NSA in Saudi Arabia, and other things along those unconventional lines. No laughing stock by any means in my book.
If there are any pinned individuals out there who took offense to that, they have my apologies. It wasn't intended as anything beyond the normal ribbing one community gives another.
So what about a SNA who has been in flight school for 1.5 years ribbing a winged P-3 NFO puke who got their wings after four months... or is it four weeks now?
Or a jet pipeline NFO ribbing the same winged P-3 NFO? Or lets say there is a LT who never got their warfare device, can I make fun of them as soon as I am winged? Then again, what about somebody who has a warfare device yet has not been deployed making fun of somebody with no device who has been deployed? It's just so confusing. Perhaps we should put up a sticky of forum rules on who can and cannot talk smack, it would be much easier.
Disclaimer: If you are winged, a higher rank, same rank with more time in rank, have more ribbons, better looking than me and a P-3 NFO... I am sorry I said "NFO Puke" in above statement and made fun of the short time it takes to get your wings. It was not meant to insult you or degrade your accomplishment.

My office is in TW5 and I see studs checking in wearing black shoes. I give them a ration of shit for it. Same excuse, I don't want to jinx myself. I say you jinx yourself by wearing SWO shoes. The day I was comissioned, I starting wearing brown shoes being I was a 1390 select. No jinx here. Shoe color doesn't determine your outcome. Performance with is what determines your future.

FWIW, I've never seen anyone in the submarine community wearing brown shoes, even though the regs state that it is allowed.
Thoughts about non-aviators wearing brown shoes?
awwwww isn't that sweet....
When he was Commandant at Boat Skool, this submariner wore brown shoes with his khakis all the time:
My company officer (also a submariner) used to act really pissed about it. Something about "Commandant wears his wife's shoes". . .Yeah, I didn't get it either.:icon_wink
For the record: I support PSWMAH....errr......Phrog73 in this argument
PSWMAH = Phrog's Shoe Wife's Marine Aviator Husband
