TBH, looking back, i feel like Copenhagen was a big leak in my game as an instructor...how are you gonna drill the fine points, when you're violating the 3710 on the reg?I may have had a spitter that made two deployments with me. And they were deployments in different tours/squadrons, separated by a shore tour. Kinda gross in hindsight. Zyns are much lower key/less gross. Though even that is a bad habit
Side note, it was a pretty well known fact that a certain member of a certain east coast hornet squadron's front office regularly lit off more than just a proverbial "Lucky" in his jet. He's well on his way to being a big CVN CO by now. I imagine the smoking lamp will be lit on that boat
With all that said, I can't imagine flying day into night into day missions in the Al Anbar province without it. A trusty spitter tucked in the center of the flight vest was the norm.😆
