I found this on another site. The name of the OP sounds eerily familiar: http://forums.jetcareers.com/threads/usn-f-14-shoots-down-usaf-rf-4c.121522/

So he was CAP as part of the EX, had a warshot winder on board, instead off getting a good tone and being within good shooting parameters to declare a sim kill......he went Fox 2!?! Something aint right.
Fratricide in combat is one thing, but dude, in training? WTF?! Firebreaks, safeguards, whatever, how about some common damn sense? I get it though, sounds like the poor sap was set up for failure and chose poorly in the end… hero to zero when he armed up and squeezed the trigger! Now that right there was some good ole buffoonery at the highest levels!
So his father, who made it to 3 stars, shot down a friendly over Vietnam... this gentleman shot down a friendly and was selected for his star....maybe they are onto something here... hmm, when is our next missile shoot and who wants to be my wingman!

They probably have some great dinner conversations....
"So Dad, when you shot down your wingman, did you have a missile misfire like I did with that Air Force F-4?"
"Hey dad, did your RIO scream like a bitch when you shot down your wingman? I couldn't shut the son of a bitch up in my plane. Whine, whine, whine...."

It depends...will getting shot down by my own wingman get me a star too? I mean, I'm only an Ens but I do like to invest in my future!
I think my biggest issue is how bad the fuck up was. This event shows complete lack of common sense. I don't care if he had 10 hours in a jet, common sense says you don't shoot down a fellow American.
So I think I understand now. Get drunk and mouth off and hurt someone's feelings: Get fired. Give some guy a callsign that hurts his feelings: Get fired. Make some videos that hurt some of the ships companies feelings: Get fired............
Pull out a gun and shoot at a shipmate because I thought someone told me to do it. PROMOTED TO ADMIRAL. What if I dropped a 1000 pounder on some spec ops guys in Fallon because I thought they were really, really bad guys? I'd get hung. And it would be well deserved.
Harrier Dude
Living the dream
Wingman (dripping wet and with an inflated LPU): "You know, I think you were a little inside of 500' at that second merge.......plus that whole shooting me down with a live missile thing......thanks....dick."
dude......
