Sunday was my wave day, which went really well. I got a full period on the pickle both day and night. Having a night period my first day is a bit unusual, but my team lead said I did well.
Yesterday was busy because we did an HCA (Hummer Controlled Approach). This was for training, but the purpose is in case the ship has problems and can’t control the recovery, we do it airborne. It was a CBATS sign-off for me so I wanted to make sure I did well. The boat controllers came to the ready room afterward to tell us how impressed they were.
Not much else going on here. The meal situation is abysmal. It’s a battle the entire airwing is fighting. First the meal hours were still set to import/boat time, which doesn’t really fly. Now, midrats (which happens to work out to be most aviators’ third meal since we miss breakfast) is leftovers from lunch/dinner. And the grill is never open, so we are at the mercy of the hot line. And there are no sandwich fixings out, so if we miss a meal there is nothing to do but wait. It's frustrating.
Not much else going on. Hoping to get my CBATS done in the next couple days.
