what is the real name of the Boat Coat? I always just called it a Boat Coat cause it was like a utility jacket but it was blue and for some mysterious reason lost in the fog of time, you were literally only allowed to wear them on the boat. Usually they'd have a stencil of the div or wc or whatever on the back That's the one I want

Godholio posted:I get a kick out of the unit patches the Navy lets you sew on flight jackets...legit wish the AF did that. Saw a Growler dude with a cruise patch that said "We traveled 6000 miles to give you our SEAD" and I almost laughed in the briefing. The actual leather flight jacket would be really tough to steal from the Navy, (each indivually accounted for and specially documented by NAS Jax supply) but agree they're pretty badass. Those shiny green nylon-y ones are pretty easy to come by, though. Lol I used to have a suppo that would rock one around PS, you're a civilian.

In fact, as much as I hate to deal with their language barrier, the ones I’ve flown with at Whiting have been by and large better than average, very respectful, and down to earth (I always jokingly ask if they are Princes and every one has come back adamantly that they aren’t). Lots of Saudis in my undergrad program, and they are almost all exceptional students and a few of them that I knew personally were super cool heavy weedheads

It's marginally expensive for the kind of taco place it is, but holy gently caress, you can't beat it.

My version of that was some chief furiously insisting that my flight deck boots were not uniform for wear anywhere outside of the boat or flight line as I calmly pointed out that they are 8 inch tall black all leather lace up boots as the uniform regs required at the time I was being disrespectful, you see

Mt Whitney is in Gaeta, a little beach town halfway between Naples and Rome. Much nicer than Naples, if small and with "less to do." In spite of being closer to Rome, it might take a little longer to get there by train than from Naples bc you can only catch the slow local train rather than the faster IC and bullet train

I'ma need all the contractors out of this thread. This is a ship's force thread, now. Seriously, gently caress you get out I don't care about what your job is or what paygrade equivalent or even how many years of salt crust you have yourself. The coffee is provided for the E-3. He has to do the same cruise as you, but chiefs around him poo poo on every dimension of his quality of life for anything down to and including his haircut and the shine of his shoes, and for $2k a month plus $50 sea pay. You get fat stacks and the idiot bluejackets and chiefs and officers retired or otherwise just kind of annoy you and frustrate your work. Have your overlords at BAE or Raytheon or whatever war profiteering goblin den you spawned from send you a kcup machine if you need some so bad. Carry on!
