Ah the Wasp, LHD I believe, I missed out on our F-35 detachment on that, probably for the better. I did go on the USS America LHA-6 for a detachment. The forward berthing at the bow of the ship designated for Combat Cargo, we had a flooding of sewage in our head, it took the Navy plumbers a few hours to unclog and drain. Gotta love that ship life...

One of my closest family friends is on ship right now….I’ve heard horror stories. Like people committing suicide by jumping off the carrier.

Thats pretty cool.

Bearbeitet von Ricochet 049: 5/14/2023 2:10:57 PMHey! I served on the America too! Cobra gold a while back. My squadron was VMFA-121 green knights. I did my corporals course on that boat.

Nice, I was with VMX-1, had to do some testing. I wish I could have done Cobra Gold, it seemed interesting. Cpl Course on a ship seems kinda odd...

Bearbeitet von Ricochet 049: 5/14/2023 2:47:17 PMYes.. It was very odd. Uncouth even. Land Nav is hard to do without any land.

But I feel like Land Nav would be really really easy without any land. I'd imagine it would go something like this, assuming that Call of Duty dialogue is an accurate representation of real military interactions: [quote]"SIR! WE HAVE COMPLETED THE LAND NAV, AND HAVE DETERMINED THAT THERE IS NO LAND IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY!" "GOOD WORK SOLDIER! THIS VALUABLE INTEL WILL SERVE OUR COUNTRY WELL! YOUA RE DISMISSED!" "SIR, YES SIR!!!"[/quote]

I can imagine, what about the PFT/CFT?

Bearbeitet von Ricochet 049: 5/14/2023 7:48:16 PMTo compensate for that anyone that was projected to attend the course ran them before boarding, and those scores were used. Also because PT was limited while also trying to maintain operations it was condensed to coincide with a MCMAP course. I got my brown belt. Though it was during this that COVID hit, and we were one of the only ships unaffected, so our operations got extended past cobra gold for further patrol. By no means was the course up to par with a land based one. But at the time we were the only F-35 squadron in the AO so our deployment cycles were very active.
