Yeah that guys stuff is awesome. That Academy F/A-18 has a sh*t load of parts, and all of that photo-etch.
That's why I stick to 1/48 scale.:icon_wink

ugh, just guessing here, but probably the same reason AOs worked on the cargo hook and ResQ Hoist...the CADs for ejection???

Yeah, but LAMPS is not like the rest of the fleet. AOs don't touch seats - that's what AMEs are for.

We have AO's?? We have 3 in the sqadron, but they are on the shore duty UIC. I have not gone out with AOs on 2 cruises and god knows how many dets.
Would be nice to have, but we usually get a CAD qualled guy.
On the AME front, at the recent PR/AME conference in Vegas, the maintenance cards for the MARS (Mobile Aircrew Restraint System) has AMEs working on it. We don't have AMEs, so now they want our PRs (We have 2 for 90 Pilot/AWs) to work on that as well

Yeah, I was one of those shore duty AOs.
Whatever happened to the plan of sending a sea duty AO out with the Hellfire equipped Dets? We had a home-guard guy in 44 who volunteered for a long cruise as a test case. Didn't that ever materialize? WRT CADs, understand (as I'm sure you do) that LAMPS is an aberration in that respect. In the real world, AMEs do all the CADs and seat related stuff and AOs just work on their stuff (or lounge in the shop for half the shift).Brett
When was VFA-25 on the Carl Vinson anyways?
That thing is just scary. I wonder how one gets that kind of leisure time prior to age 65. There's got to be some weird pathology there. If he's married, his wife would be busting his ass to go take out the trash every 5 minutes. If he's single, well, it's just another sad, lonely weekend in the basement, playing with tiny little people.

Ahhh, you were an AO, that explains quite a bit.
LAMPS is not the only community that does that. In HS, AO's do the CADs also.
You weren't missing much. They're mostly just another body to have around and spread the load, which obviously is a good thing. They're actual AO duties were maybe an hour a day.
As a former QA LPO, I had a minor aneurism when I saw that.
@ Gator: True, but they don't have that fancy Penguin.

As a former QAO, I was waiting on all the broken/lost tool reports to sign. "Conducted thorough search of work area..."
"Too much work theses days, we didn't have time for loundry.
Hopefully some friends of USAF gave us some closes..."
"That seat is so heavy that we had to take some rest (excuse us we are not on the pict we went to take a beer)"
"The good thing is that when everybody sleeps, i can use forbiden but usefull tools..."
His commentary is priceless, where do they keep the forbiden useful tools.
