I can (or I could when I flew) tell if someone was a dwee...er, newbie by a couple of things: 1) flying over 25K in a fighter, but never engaging anyone; 2) If they were killed more than once taking off from the same capped field. Oh, and 3) the dwee...er newbies always try to HO ya because to them that's the easiest way to engage in combat. The thought of actually employing ACM to merge hasn't occurred to them, yet.
