Sorry for the bleak outlook. Just passing on some feedback from former rag
students of mine. It is a different generation of aviator. As for me, it
is what they pay me for and supporting the guys on the ground is indeed a
noble task. My commentary was more on the Nintendo generation and their
perceived lifestyle of naval aviation.

Michael- It could feature an airplane holding over head
Iraq for 6 hours and still recovery with all of its ordnance. Sorry for
the
sarcasm, but the cold war image of the military is a little out of date
with
the new generation. BRBR

C'mon Moe. I guess you weren't in when training anchorages and about 70
traps
for an entire cuise(7 months) was the norm. Sailors/Aviators belong on
ships,
ships belong at sea. What could be better than flying off a boat, doing
your
job, gettin' some green ink?

Is the new generation so soft that they whine about doing their job, not
always
training for it?
