I'd be guessing, but he was gone for a while, so I think he did the bulk of the VT-86 syllabus, then had to go back through all the ECMO stuff in 129.

why make a marine prowler pilot CQ? I thought they didn't go to the boat?
I think you are right Brett. I had a friend who had a ramp strike and a hook slap flying A7's, and he went back through a modified VT-86 syllabus and became a B/N.

Too much John Wayne in the break? ... You've got me on the other two.
Very good.
Dog on a linoleum floor (trying to arrest a severe overshoot in the groove)
B/N wave-off (there were a few rare occasions where a B/N would call for a wave off and the pilot's instinct to react to any wave off call usually resulted in a burst of power followed by a wave off call from the LSO). It happened in one of my squadrons a couple times from the same B/N. Fortunately, on both occasions, the nugget transmitted the call over UHF, so it spared the pilot.
The other articles are a year old.
Edit: NM, the other link says he was picked up by a helo 17 minutes later.
That's a good question, but it's just how things are done. Just kinda goes with earning your wings. They even let a couple of the USAF exchange guys do it (day only).

Not to buck the system or anything... but that sounds like alot of $$ down the tube for "it's just how things are done.".... if that was the guy's only problem.

Until the day comes when he may need to go to a boat squadron, and cant. You never know what can happen.

It wasn't and it rarely is. Either way, someone way above my paygrade thinks it's a good idea and that's good enough for me.

So you are saying is being an ECMO is like having Herpes
... in what ways? The "you'd never admit it to a girl at the bar" way,
The "You try to hide it from your friends out of embarassment, and those that do know make fun of you for it" way or
The "You made a serious of bad decisions that led to it and now you have to live with it" way?
