Stupid Questions about Naval Aviation (Part 3)

You don’t understand venting to the people you are friends with and/or fly with about being frustrated at work? You don’t understand the point of social media? You don’t understand being frustrated when, despite all of the work you put into a person, they just don’t fucking get it? Or being frustrated that they wasted a spot someone more qualified missed out on?

Or do you just not understand that some of us have vastly divergent methods and personalities and we use our strengths to get the job done.

How did that turn out?

Well. I gave them cultural appreciation tours of Mobile, AL when I’d take them to Waffle House for breakfast on an out/in...

I guess I don't understand why it takes an hour including a nicotine and alcohol break to calm my nerves enough to make a debrief. But keep doing you.

I'm sorry this turned into an unintended flame war I just wanted answers

Here's the part where you say, "I think I'm entitled."

It’s the insatiable rage and bloodlust. Only able to tamp down the beast by feeding it cigarettes and beer.

YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!

I had no idea the P-8 community bred such rage and bloodlust. Glad you were able to get a handle on it.

I blame you!

 

[Austin-Powers]

I blame you!

I don't want to be a Naval Aviator anymore! cries

That’s P-3 induced rage and bloodlust... The P-8 has a calming effect provided by gentle turns and a sit down shitter...

For me, the frustration occurs only after the student shows strong defense mechanisms, resulting in his refusal to listen or follow instructions. At that point there is a stagnation in learning. In one of the most extreme cases I've seen, the student made an IG complaint against the instructor (not me). The instructor was disciplined, rightfully so, and the student's behavior resulted in changes to SOP in an effort to protect students, instructors and the command against future bastardizations of the learning/teaching process. But to be truthful, the event was the result of a very poor student with a rather unagreeable personality coupled with an instructor with his own issues and a low tolerance for those who question his techniques.

If you can't understand frustration when instructing you probably haven't done it enough or don't care enough. Not unlike raising children to be responsible adults. Show me a parent that never gets frustrated and I'll show you the sensitive snowflake standing next to them.

I need those gloves for the museum!

Sadly, they are no longer available. Their owner has moved on to another job.

Assuming I was in the Navy as an Aviator, would it be hard to do a foreign military exchange, I would like to work with the Indian Navy even though I need to kill the closest gator right now.
