Have we come up with a term for whatever the generation after SNAPs is yet? Because this is probably it. JHTFC. 1) Be secure enough in what you're doing to not care what a grunt thinks. You're going to need a thicker skin in this job anyway. -OR- 2) Find a new best man. -OR- 3) Remind him that you'll be crying yourself to sleep at night in your 1000 thread count sheets and spending all that per diem while he takes his stripper wife/gf to Golden Coral in his 2009 Dodge Charger financed at 31% APR.

Being a slow runner does not necessarily mean you have a genetically low VO2Max, nor does it correlate with increased risk of heart disease.

I don't think we did them in the b-course and I remember guidance coming out about at least having PAPI or ILS in 2009ish. Did them in the Navy in the Hornet all the time.

I don't know anything about flying AF fatties, but it's useless info in a fighter overhead. Especially in a jet with a HUD (2.5 degree line) and a steerpoint diamond on the end of the runway.
-
The ILS wire isn't to the end of the runway though. If you're using that for glidepath guidance on an overhead, you're going to be landing really long.
-
Okay, explain. How do you use the ILS on an overhead?
-
Because it's pointless when flying the overhead. Fun fact: the Navy flies night overheads.

Sit down, Karen. -
In fairness, I honestly had no idea there was a uniform change until this thread today. Doesn't seem to be a thing here yet.

Bring back black boots and shirts!

It probably wouldn't have been as bad were it not for the obsession of Marines = VTOL. Have they ever actually used that capability in a forward-deployed environment? (Not the ship, but a place that requires landing and taking off where there are no runways on land).

Is this the result of the backwards-ass canopy and more fallout from the POS B model compromises?
