So, on the second mission, I gave a repeat of the briefing I'd received, Ras flew it as I briefed it and we got our butt handed too us. He'd asked me why I didn't brief what I knew was the right way. I told him "school solution" and that was when it happened. NEVER did that again.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-16440956812176552932017-08-20T11:13:33.233-07:002017-08-20T11:13:33.233-07:00True, I don't know much about the Navy, but I ...True, I don't know much about the Navy, but I have see a few Marine NCO's with quite a colorful vocabulary, so to speak.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-6996977246613490482017-08-20T10:24:35.961-07:002017-08-20T10:24:35.961-07:00Salty talk is pretty much the exclusive realm of e...Salty talk is pretty much the exclusive realm of enlisted Navy instructors and the Marine DI.<br />I have heard others attempt it, but they fell far short of the target.
