Question....
When it comes time for carrier planes to return to shore at the end of a cruise do they deflate their tires prior to launch? Or are their tires still at the super-inflated boat levels?

CV inflated tires in the 45 will make you need to piss. I would guess it's similar for others.

I'm brand new here, and just finished reading the entire stupid questions thread over the last few evenings... learned a hell of a lot about the Air side of things, not to mention got a few good laughs... so first of all, thank you to all the experienced for helping out the boots.
My question (hope this is the right place for it): Besides the obvious differences in mission, what are the most significant differences in lifestyle, promotion/career track, and optempo between Navy and Marine Corps tactical air careers?
I ask because I plan on applying to both USMC OCC/pilot and a Navy SNA slot.

It's a bouncier ride..like a car with stiff shocks on a dirt road..hence, the pee-pee reference.
No problem.

Much obliged. Makes sense
I don't know, I think the Service Dress Blue Yankee has it beat:
It has Captain Stubing written all over it. The shorts are bad too.

I've only seen this hideous uni combo once in my Naval career. Back in Primary Jets in Meridian our sister squadron, VT-9, had a "mandatory fun" squadron function that all the IPs and coneheads had to wear this. Needless to say, it was good to be a "Frog" that night....
That uniform is terrible. I saw it on the uniform regs and hadn't ever seen it before. Didn't even know it was real.. What is it's real use?
I actually think bozo looks worse. Both are pretty heinous though. Still, I'd probably rather wear them both then blue cammies.
I believe to provide a service dress option in warmer climes.
Does changing the pants really make any difference?? I thought that was what whites were for..
