Recently I moved from San Diego naval Air Station to the Norfolk Naval base, my ultimate duty station. After a few days in my shop I was getting used to things. Anyways we were out working on one of our birds today replacing some AFCS components when a newer guy showed up to our shop and they sent him out to the flight line to get used to procedures out there. We were all doing our jobs and I was with a AT3 because I hope to cross rate from AE to AT in the future and was curious how one of the computers in the cabin worked. Well the new guy climbs in the port side hatch and starts looking around. I asked him if this was the first time he had been on a aircraft. He said yes and I told him dont be afraid to ask questions. A few minutes pass and he pokes around some asking a few questions. Our LPO comes out to the bird when we were finishing our workload to check it off and do a tool/fod check. The new guy asks our LPO what the long tube with the funnel on the end of it by the aircrew seat is. Our LPO in a joking way tells him its a sound powered phone. The newbie pinks up the tube and blows into the funnel. Our whole shop busts out laughing to the point of tears. The line shack captain and the pilots come over to preflight the bird and ask whats so funny. Our LPO tells them our new guy just put his mouth on the aircrew piss tube. Word makes it around the whole squadron with a hour and people stop by our shop to make jokes about it. Luckily the new airmen is only TAD to our squadron and wont be with us for long or else he'd have to live with us giving him a hard time for a few years.

Pretty funny...I love how you Navy guys always use acronyms nonchalantly that no civilian would ever know. My friend does it all the time.

I would say a good deal of the acronyms we use we dont even know what they mean. We just know what they are.

AFCS- Automatic Flight Control System
AT- Aviation Technician. Works on the computers in the aircraft.
AE- Aviation Electrician. Works on the wiring systems and displays in aircraft.
LPO- Lead Petty Officer. Like a manager.
FOD- Foreign Object Detection. Anything in our outside the aircraft that may get into the intakes or a system and cause damage or harm. Mostly its a money saving procedure.
TAD- Temporary Assigned Duty. Someone who is on orders to a squadron or work place for a short time period. Used when waiting to go to a school or join their squadron or ship. Also used when you go to a school and then return to your squadron.

How come you haven't invited me into your Ogame alliance? Or do you only invite those with Death Stars?
