Liz with her "we need to make Roe V Wade a law" shows how little she understands the Constitution -
Yup, I was a redshirt and as for how old well, let's just say I'm a well seasoned USS Tarawa LHA-1 maiden West Pac old ? I'm familiar with the Walleye, they've been around forever as air to ground it seems sort of like the Sidewinder and Sparrow are for air to air. Your also correct, we rarely got to see the results of our work, Air shows in Quantico for congress critters for us were great, cause it was all our show. They were there to see big explosions and balls of fire and we loved giving them to them there cause we got to watch too. Anyway, got a couple stories about that and Nap can't post, but both funny and maybe scary over a beer sometime..

I resemble that remark! ???

Marine Corps Aviation Ordnance here so I can address these... There is nothing really to the degrading of ordnance due to take off and landing. I'll say Sherpa is correct however on some of the dumb stuff. I know we don't fly it anymore, but napalm in particular was very dangerous to download back off a plane, and also have to remove the initiator. Nap was really cool, but dangerous for anyone to be around... As for the testing, when your on the ground you have a "weight on wheels" switch that disarms the electrical part of ordnance system. This is for obvious reasons I think, you don't want someone accidentally pushing the wrong button etc... With forward firing ordnance like your cannons for instance, there is still the possibility even slight, of stray voltage from static electricity or something to set something off. Guns, missiles, and rockets if your on base we have a designated arm/dearm area, usually way away from anything else, where your aimed away from anything, except us that is... I was the guy standing in front of all that to let you know what was going on; you bring your bird to where we test for stray voltage, then plug the ordnance in. On the guns we cycled that first one into the chamber. I think obviously these are fired by electrical impulse, not your traditional percussion firing pin. Anyway, point being, if you brought this back, we then had to disarm it, and if your gun was jammed, that made it even more dangerous since we had the clear that jam before letting you head back to the flight line. I never worked aboard a full size carrier since I was Harriers. But we still did the same pretty much with anything we flew off (for me, always rotary carriers) as we did on land regarding all the above, except of course closer quarters and notice your always pointed away from the tower, and the areas your pointed to SHOULD be clear of any support ships too... Sherpa, ever wonder why Ordnance is a bit crazier that everyone else?

Oh come on! Biden is about done, so we need someone to humor us with Biden type gaffs! AOC seems perfect for the job! Heck, I can't wait until she runs for POTUS! -
Yeah, but it's all Trump's fault! All he had to do was pour Trillions into the country and it would have stabilized itself.... for a couple more years.....

It won't rile anyone up so why don't you just sit back down.... ? I heard Acosta on the radio on the way home also say he's had many "backroom" (his own term for "off the record") conversations with Sarah and Kellyanne too where he claims they told him #orangemanbad stuff Acosta is the biggest bullsh1t artist (liar) in the WH press corps...
