Nasal Radiators, er… Naval Aviators…



Pretty damn funny, and pretty true too… 

The  Naval Aviator As Seen by Himself:

 

An incredibly  intelligent, tall, handsome, innovative, and highly trained professional killer, idol to countless females, and  Gentleman Adventurer, who wears a star sapphire  ring, carries a hair-trigger .45 automatic in a  specially designed hand-stitched, quick draw holster along with his trusty  pearl-handle survival knife, who is always on time thanks to his ability to obtain immediate transportation and the reliability of  his Rolex watch.

    As Seen by His  Wife:

A disreputable member of the family who comes home once a year  all bruised up, driving a stolen jeep up to the  back door carrying a B-4 bag full of dirty  laundry, wearing a stained flight suit, smelling of stale booze and JP-5 jet fuel, wearing a huge watch, a fake ring, and  that damn ugly beat-up pistol in that stupid  holster, who will three months later go out  the  front door, thankfully for another year.
As  Seen by His Squadron Commander:

A fine specimen of a  drunken, brawling, jeep stealing, woman corrupting liar, with a star sapphire  ring, fantastically accurate Rolex watch, an unauthorized .45 in a non-regulation shoulder holster, and  rusty survival knife.
As  Seen by Fleet Ops:

The embodiment of a  drunken, brawling, jeep stealing, woman corrupting, lying, zipper-suited Sun  God, with a ring, a proscribed 1911 A1 .45 in a  non-regulation shoulder holster, a Rolex watch, who for some  reason carries a survival knife.
As  Seen by the Dept of Defense:

An overpaid,  rule-ignoring, over-ranked tax burden, who is unfortunate totally indispensable simply because he has volunteered to go  anywhere, and do anything, at any time, only so long as he can booze it up,  brawl, steal  jeeps, corrupt women, lie, and wear a star sapphire ring,  Rolex watch, and carry an obsolete hand gun and a survival  knife.
    As  Seen by the Enemy:

The fearless,  terrifying face of death who will fire a missile up your ass, and laugh as you  burn up in you aircraft!   Yep…….that pretty much sums it  up! 


And it wasn’t a Jeep, it was a Ford Staff car… And that issue POS Victory pistol might or might not even fire… Not that I know anything about either of those… 🙂


And Instinct reminded me I’d missed the Maintenance perspective…


As seen by the maintenance crew:

The embodiment of a drunken, brawling, over-paid, jeep stealing, woman corrupting, oxygen huffing, zipper-suited child, with a ring, a 1911 A1 .45 in a non-regulation shoulder holster made by the seat shop, a Rolex watch, who for some reason carries a survival knife and couldn’t fill out a VIDS/MAF to save his soul except to say “I think it’s not working right”.

  1. You forgot one:

    As seen by the maintenance crew:

    The embodiment of a drunken, brawling, over-paid, jeep stealing, woman corrupting, oxygen huffing, zipper-suited child, with a ring, a 1911 A1 .45 in a non-regulation shoulder holster made by the seat shop, a Rolex watch, who for some reason carries a survival knife and couldn’t fill out a VIDS/MAF to save his soul except to say “I think it’s not working right”.

    Not that I’ve worked with any of those officers 😀

  2. I was going to ask where the Brietling was but it was previously answered.

    I think that all sums it up nicely.

  3. Keads- Thanks!

    ADM- You’re welcome!

    Instinct- You are correct, I’ve updated it with your input! 🙂

    Crucis- Yeah 🙂

    LL- It does… I rode in the back, and I told em where to go, sometimes even did it politely… 🙂

  4. I heard that NFO used to mean “no future outside” (of the Navy). You seem to have leaped that hurdle with a single bound. Therefore you need a NFO perception blog post.

  5. RE: As seen by the maintenance crew:

    Add:
    Ham-fisted “aircraft operator” who could not only break an anvil in a sandbox, but lose one of the pieces.”

  6. What i don’t understood is in fact how you’re not actually much more well-appreciated than you may be now.
    You are so intelligent. You know therefore significantly with regards to this topic, produced me
