Is the 60T going to be the same basic design as the 60J just with new avionics, etc or is going to be "something cool I don't even know about?"
...and then Congress will try to kill the -60T because the fuzzy dice weren't made in the right Congressperson's budget and competing fuzzy dice makers are protesting. So the fuzzy dice (AN/AFD-1A Tactile-Enhanced Analog Number Generator/Rotary Wing) will have to be re-contracted with competing bids from fifteen different contractors, only two of whom actually make fuzzy dice. The winning bid will be an unlimited cost-plus contract awarded to a company that can't actually make fuzzy dice, but has made teddy bears in the past, and argues that it's pretty much the same thing, and besides, they gave Hillary Clinton's campaign a couple $$. So then they'll go way over budget and fall way behind timeline and finally produce fuzzy dice that weigh 140 lbs each and only have numbers on three sides. The GAO will go apeshit, Congress will demand investigations, the teddy bear contractor will blame the Canadian subcontractors who were supposed to make the number dots, and the Coast Guard will sigh and pull some 40-year-old fuzzy dice from mothballed HH-3s.

Test this man for amphetamines ASAP!
Nice. But, technically that should probably be: Number Generator, Rotary Wing, Analog, Tactile Enhanced NSN 1111-22-333-4444
You've come a long way since this past October, when you were looking into being both a recon Marine and a pilot.

When you find one with dolphins on it, then let us know.
A SWO Navy exchange tour is not uncommon in the CG; I've seen SWO breast insignia on quite a few Coasties in my day. As for NFO; well we had a few in the day (I'm not sure what program/airframe they supported...Hawkeyes?), but I don't believe we have any active right now.

Haha. Lol. I realized theres almost no way to become a Recon Marine and a pilot, so I looked into just aviation. Thanks to airwarriors, it hit me only 42% get jets:icon_wink so I looked into Marine Helicopters, thought they were awesome(especially the Cobra) and watched the movie the Guardian(pretty good, recommend it). Thats how I stumbled into Coast Guard aviation...
Thanks for all of the info. Sorry for blaming you for renaming my post, I just didn't name it that. Since you were the first post, I blamed you
You say both go after drug traffickers, does that mean they have machine guns on 'em?
Whatever you do, don't go see Ironman - we don't want to know what you'll be into after that!
Hard saying log for that comment +1
