If they're going to do this, then it needs to be legit. Don't ######-foot around, swing your dick and tell the real story.

Charlie (D-CA): Fired from her civilian contractor job for having an inappropriate relationship in the workplace. Completely unqualified for government work...elected to congress.
Hollywood: Minimal focus in combat, maximum focus on appearance...Chief of Naval Operations
Wolfman: The nav who thinks he got a raw deal in ROTC. Finally, selected to attend Flight School. Washed out. Got his private's and now runs a mock dogfight business in the Mojave desert.
Cougar: Flipping burgers since 1986 to pay off his tuition repayment. Recovering meth addict.
Merlin: Progressed to the rank of LCDR and is still a nav in Hornets...one of two in a squadron of 150. Mostly prints/chums charts all day.
Iceman: Never got over his combat freeze-up where the #2 guy had to save his ass. Recommended for separation after visiting Life Skills. Crawled inside a box of Twinkies and never came out.
Slider: Dishonorably discharged after popping positive for the juice on a CO-directed drug test. Soon after, murdered by a Terminator while in bed with his girlfriend Ginger.
Jester: Sim instructor... Vance AFB. Best hook rate 10 years running.
Viper: Retired. Can be easily found jamming up traffic at the main gate while trying to find his ID since he (like all retirees) figures that 0730 is the most advantageous time to swarm the gate for his daily BX/Commissary/Class-6/MPF run.
Goose: New SII: Crews will ensure they are not in a flat spin prior to ejecting. New NATOPS warning: WARNING: Ejecting during a flat spin may result in fatal injury. New boldface: EJECTION: 1) FLAT SPIN - NOT IN (BOTH) 2) EJECTION LOOP - PULL. His story beat to death during safety stand-downs.
Maverick: Went VFR-direct to the Guard at the first opportunity.

No self respecting A-4 aggressor/TOPGUN guy (with a 'stache that would make Bug Roach proud) would be a primary sim instructor at an AFB. He'd be one of the crusty old guys at one of the RAGs or in Meridian or Krock....

And hinges don't chum their own charts. They just go into stan and grab one that someone else made and task some unlucky JO who was walking by at the wrong time.

I heard this sequel is a whole lot more realistic than the first Top Gun. Mav is now an overweight AF MQ-9 pilot bitching about providing ISR support until one day he gets a CAS mission and takes out 30 of our own soldiers to kill the #157 most wanted terrorist on the US watch list. He then keeps buzzing the tower in his triumphant return to base but nobody seems to take any notice due to platform limitations and most of the shoe clerks are out with the Army anyway after flight suit leadership kept insisting "we're all in." Mav finally lands and all the shoe clerks eventually return to base when flight suit leadership tells them to "Get out of those lightweight flame retardent ACUs, we gave you flammable heavyweight ABUs in 120 degree desert heat so everybody knows we have ADCON over you." The movie ends with the Air Force becoming the Army Air Corps once again.

She turned "DADT", joined the Army, went to flight school and was awarded the MOH in the epic box office hit
"Courage Under Fire"

The Navy has their own Identity issues so Mav mistakenly changed services at the beginning of the movie thinking things would get better. He then goes through MQ-9 flight training while elbow deep in a bag of Dorito's for most of the first half of the movie. That's how I always identify an MQ-9 pilot...the orange bottom right sleeve of the flight suit..

Amen to that.

Actually, makes him sound like he's senior leadership material in the future -- probably a DP just b/c of that on his next PRF! Nothing against flaming homosexuals faggots, but we all know it's good to be "diverse" and being a flaming, homosexual faggot is the latest and greatest in diversity right now!

Maybe Im overly sensitive here, but this crosses a line in my mind to even joke about.

Yeah, it was in poor taste. I don't really care if someone wants to make an ass of themselves here, but joking about fratricide just to troll the board is a douche move. I disabled his posting ability after I read that.

So, we can joke about killing American civilians, but joking about killing American soldiers is just wrong.

In case anyone had questions about our values, please, look no further.
