Did anyone here ever fly the ES-3A Shadow?

The article PhrogPhlyer posted above summarizes the issue quite while -- it's not about nudity or sex, it's about (1) profiting through use of your military status and (2) disrespecting the uniform/service.

Essentially, it's wrong for the same reasons it would be wrong for any of us getting paid to pose in uniform (or components thereof) for any media.

I get it and I agree. I just think younger generations won't agree with us.

It's just a shitty ES platform... nothing more exciting than that, I'm afraid. I don't recall ever interacting with any ES-3 folks here, but who knows.

That doesn't mean it didn't contribute anything of significance. When shit is an improvement on nothing you are happy to have it. I know nothing about the ES- 3, but when I deployed in the A model War Hoover in the early 80's the standard ESM suite was about the best available airborne surveillance organic to the air wing. The ES-3 was some improvement over that. And when the Whale went away it was the only game in town. Not exactly the high tide of CVW ESM capabilities, for sure.

All jokingly aside from Brett, last I checked (month ago), she did not promote to O-4 as she has a legal hold. Supposedly some ethics stuff but that’s a very “Ferris Buehler” type rumor.

Do you mean your best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from a guy who knows a kid who's going with the girl who saw her record while on the board?

Semi related since I saw some photos of the ES-3, but I wonder if there are any plans for VUP or any other platforms to keep alive the ES/EP bat symbol of the SIGINT community. I know the Triton is not technically sigint primary but it will be a damn shame once the bat goes away in full.

Update: looks like at least one of the EC-130/EC-37 air force units has a bat logo, albeit artistically different, is cool to see.

Speaking of Vikings in general, is it any different flying a turbofan compared to a turbojet from a naval aviation perspective?

I noticed she doesn't wear a warfare device, so maybe she's one of those HR types. Seems like nearly every community has a warfare pin nowadays.

I think one of her videos said that she failed out of SWO'ing and then became the navy's influencer......which I assume must mean HR in real terms. This is fun because that very short popped up in my FB yesterday or today, before we were even talking about this.
