Stupid Questions about Naval Aviation (Part 3)

Ah okay I see...Thank you again Jim!

It's interesting that they don't raise their voices anymore...especially during the chaos of combat or even a training mission where you have to deploy ordnance in a specific time.

I wouldn't think yelling at you would, in any way, prepare you to do anything related to combat.

In my experience, I always got along with the yellers because it would just make me laugh. Evidently the good ones got what they were looking for because usually they'd end up being cool with and actually teach you some good stuff.
 
You know what I change my statement about that, it makes more sense being calm under pressure. I'll just stop talking I know jackshizzle about Naval Flight Training, but hey, here's hoping to find out.
 
I doubt there are many yellers remaining. Ten years ago I encountered none in Corpus (but some weirdos) and only one in Kingsville

You just went to Kingsville......the four horsemen of meridian were still alive and well 10 years ago. That being said, I think it was a right of passage that made me better as an aviator. I remember shooting a taxi light on approach to das boat in the gulf, and breaking out of the fog in time for one power correction and one lineup correction before I was in the wires. As I was sitting there, I immediately remembered one of the Meridian sim IPs telling me at one point "one day you will have to fly the best precision approach of your life to get the food". He was right.

I can TOTALLY identify with your sentiments. THIS (see below) happened during one the simulator periods I instructed. I had to take a picture because I couldn't believe this is how he solved his turning-the-wrong-way problem..IMAG00422 1.jpg

I know someone who got their callsign that way, it was probably one of the nicer ones they could have gotten.

I really don't understand your anger. Your job as a flight instructor is to instruct. Getting angry at a student just doesn't help instruct.

I can get your frustration maybe if it was directed towards yourself. I remember getting frustrated at myself because I could not explain something in the way a student understood. But it was not the students fault for not understanding.

Oh, and that little thing about no filter. That is just an excuse you tell when you know you are an arsehole.
