Roger Ball, good and not-so-good questions about the world of "Paddles"
- Thread starter TheDrakester

I think the harshest de-brief I ever gave my pilot when I was a RIO was "Shit hot..." That was occasionally followed by a "Check lights off" call if we both knew it wasn't really all that shit hot...
Why do cheeseburgers never taste quite so sublime as after a hairy night at the boat? God's way of saying He loves us, I guess...
P.S.: Well played on the NAVFLIR thing...
With bacon and jalapeños. Also mix up some ranch dressing and tapatillo for dipping.
True.
I had a spectacularly bad OPSO (1320) during my first cruise. He didn't like that I brought the family wagon in for a very mild SH one afternoon. Good pattern, good start to in the middle and then I quit at the ramp and pulled out the 1 for a fair (with the gracious upgrade). No power calls, no cut lights - nothing scary, just got low over the steel. He shit all over me in the debrief. I went back into mx control and adjusted my NAVFLIR - specifically removing the "Y" from his landing code column.
A week or so later he came up to me and told me I had screwed up my NAVFLIR.... I informed him that I had, in fact, filled it out correctly. If he didn't like the pass that much, I didn't want him to have to remember it.
Wow... that seems so out of character for you!
Or the omelette/breakfast sandwich with plenty of bacon, followed up with a couple chocolate chip cookies with cookies & cream ice cream in between. Technique only.
Unless of course the wardroom is taking the tactic of "Everyone eats the chocolate chip cookies so fast, we aren't making them anymore. Now we only make oatmeal rasin so there are always some available." True story....
Standard boat supply tricks...the diet cokes sure run out fast...well, it's too much trouble to keep them stocked so just fill those racks with strawberry soda.
that sounds like standard boat buffoonery.
It's worse than that.
Me to clerk at the NS Subic Exchange: "Excuse me, ma'am, do you have any short sleeved khaki uniform shirts in medium size?"
Her: "No more. Cannot keep in stock. You get large and we tailor it, hokay? Only small charge."

CAG Paddles was "Bug" Roach by the way...
On my last cruise, the mentality was that if you weren't using the ICLS as a way to back yourself up as you turned the corner, you were wrong.
Just don't forget, if there is dog in wardroom #1, it means the ICLS is down...
Five year thread revival!
