On the subject of callsigns - what was the most preposterous
Doug- Until recently, he was the skipper at VFA-81. They had a
"mini-scandal" when they pulled in from cruise last December, and the jet with his callsign on it made the TV news. The Navy in its finite wisdom did a JAG investigation to determine command culture. [Paraphrase] How could the CO (himself) allow the command to use such a callsign and what kind of image does that promote. BRBR With this king of crappola starting in 1992, it was easy to retire... I also was in VX-4 when having the Bunny on the tail was starting to ruffle some female feathers...also had an 'admin' at Tailhook '91... 'when you are ****ed off, it is easy to quit'- P. C.

They'll just paint a rainbow over the bunny. --Woody |

We had our squadron insignia over the bar in the stag section of the
Patrick AFB O'club and a graying PIO WAF Captain started ****ing and moaning because our motto was 'we get ours at night'. Hell, the 319th was a nightfighter squadron in Korea but she had to put her own interpretation on it. At least someone had earlier changed the tomcat from straddling the rocket (bright red) to throwing it. She also mentioned that over in USAFE she had been bodily ejected from the Landstuhl stag bar for protesting about male maleness. A genuine waste of oxygen, time and energy on the hoof. Walt BJ |

Walt- We had our squadron insignia over the bar in the stag section of the
Patrick AFB O'club and a graying PIO WAF Captain started ****ing and moaning because our motto was 'we get ours at night'. BRBR About time to once again ask WTF does females bring to the dinner plate of warfare?? How does it make the military a better fighting force? Answer is it doesn't, it costs more $, reduces our combat capability. It is silly to trifle with our combat capability. It may get people promoted but it also gets people killed uneccessarily. P. C.

JRweiss- I was there just last weekend, for the VC-8 disestablishment and A-4
retirement. The black fin with white bunny is indeed there! BRBR Glasd to hear it. It was always fun to take the black F-4 to airshows when I was at VX-4.. P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.) Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer |
