Any suggestion for the names on the shirts? Besides Kat Officer?

Just a few suggestions for the shirt stencils...

The guy who pulls the handle may actually be the Shooter.

The guy who does the dance and heckles sounds a lot like the Air Boss (or just Boss) to me.

The LSO is perfect, heckler, taunter and don't forget legally blind.

The Recovery Team reminds me of the Crash Crew.

You could use Mini Boss (or just Mini) for the light operator.

The Grape is what it is.

The other two you could just use the appropriate division designation (i.e. V-3 or V-1).

The boss should be in the "tower" , observing everything and commmenting via the 5mc. Ridicule should be the order of the day.
A ready room chair on a 4-5 ft platform chair would be a good start...
I can hear the 5mc now..."Rrrrrrrrreaadddyy on the flight deck, hornet shooting cat 1, walk the catsss..."

Consider a Arresting Gear Officer too on the lineup lights (aka blinding strobe ligts completely out of sequence on (off?) centerline)...


Once again, outstanding job. I've got to figure out how to get some folks to go cross country down there. Hey Rob, you in?

edit: a ribbon of LED's from Home Depot would suffice, and they're waterproof!

Who gives a "Foul Deck!" call? You need at least 1 White shirt.

Nope, I have other plans.....maybe after our DET, holidays, etc. Wifey says it's family time.

man i'd love to take a day off and go up (yes that's how south Texas I am) to Kingsville to check this thing out. gotta work halloween but you have any dates going on the week of November 17th through the 23rd? Still, I dont know how much fun a drunk, fat, south Texas, Mexican American cop would be????

 

[MasterBates]

Right now, 31 OCT, 6 NOV, 7 NOV are the only "hard scheduled" dates.

I anticipate it being used for winging parties and other special occasions on a regular basis. I'll post when its open here.

 

[Schnugg]

Any thought to covering the back side of the cart with squadron stickers?

It could become the thing to zap in CC.

 

[MasterBates]

Oh, there is a AW zap on already.

Oh, there is a AW zap on already.

If you need any more stickers - let me know, I've got plenty. I broke even, but still have a crapload more.

 

[p1brule]

I will be the Grape tomorrow. Anyone, not just OKs will be getting drinks. This is going to be EPIC!!!!

 

[MasterBates]

Hook down has been moved by "the man" to 1830L. I think the commissioning ceremony will begin before that.

Deck Crew that has not picked up jerseys yet, I have them in the truck, just bring your Khaki Pants/BDU pants as appropriate.

Good Luck and have fun. A post mission BDA (non-incriminating, of course) video clip would be great to see.

 

[BullGator]

Success?
