Yeah, 100%. I'm also surprised they are sending cones there. It isn't even a proper FRS at this point. An "FRD" that is piggybacked on a Miramar fleet squadron, albeit with a lot of the old names still associate flying.

The FRD concept was hard enough to execute at the VMUs with the RQ-21. I can't imagine the ass pain it is with the fleet of old broken Hornets. The fight for who gets priority mixed with a fight for up airplanes must be a ton of fun.

I find what Hotdogs said interesting; it’s something I’ve heard multiple times over the course of my career. When someone implies that the actions of a Marine are somewhat not in line with being Chesty Puller incarnate the immediate response is “what did the Marine do(insert non-consensual touching, petty theft, etc.) to you?
Seems a far cry from climbing cliffs and slaying dragons. The few, the proud, the…. felonious?
I would never think to respond saying something like “tell me when did the Pilot/NFO, OpsO, Big XO steal your identity, take out multiple unsecured high interest personal loans in your name, not make payments resulting in a default judgment trashing your credit score?”
This defense mechanism seems akin to a skunk raising its tail to fire for effect(in more ways than one!).
Help me understand this mentality!

This simple fact is so underrated. Gas = more flight time and more training opportunities. It's the difference between being able to knock a set or two out after a primary mission after others bingo out, or the difference of hundreds of hours of flight time over the course of a career if you can hang out longer.
