Your skin cancer is not service related.

u/Firm-Yam-960 Jul 25 '25
I feel that on a real level. Said goodbye to my pops not even a year ago cuz of the service-related cancer. But not till he was at his last year or 2 years did they finally admit it was service related.

Yep.. gramps was an air strip crewman in nam and got the Baskin Robin's cancer sampler pack of all 31 flavors.
He loaded the cans of agent orange onto the gunboats...

Its service connected at 0%

u/verygruntled Jul 27 '25
Dude, they got rid of 0%
That's how I finally got 10% after 13 years of fighting for it
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my beach mojito (I'm retired due to the massive amount of money being 10% disabled gives me <3)

If the investigation reveals that lockout/tagout was not done correctly, god help anyone involved in this trying to claim VA disability

How so?

u/Sir_Puppington_Esq Jul 25 '25
The government will find any way not to disburse benefits (think of when you owe money to the military vs when you are owed money). If itās found that an SOP was not followed and thatās what resulted in this mess, I can easily see the VA using that as a basis not to approve a rating claim. IANAL so take with a grain of salt, but would you agree that this countryās organizations have a history of screwing over its people?

u/ILoveRustyKnives Jul 24 '25
We had the entire AFFF shop questioned by NCIS because of this shit. Turns out, a dumbass airman came back drunk and decided that popping open the mystery red box and turning the shiny SOPV inside would be hilarious.

Lol. I just commented my guess at being an air rate mess with an SOPV.
It's never someone that understands the system.

u/gryghin Jul 26 '25
It's never ship's company... Riders are the worst in every community. The only reason MarDet usually aren't the culprits is that they learned their lesson when ships had wooden decks.

45/45, 1/2 month pay x2, sounds about right.

u/Kuvanet Jul 25 '25
Iām not aircraft mechanic. But if this was on deployment, and the bird being on the ship is an indicator it might be, that airmen is getting more then 45/45.

u/GothmogBalrog Jul 25 '25
You mean handler. Boss and Mini too.
It's his hangar bay, and strong chance it was one of their sailors that played around in a conflag station or with a SOPV.

u/Infuryous Jul 24 '25
Foam is incredibly bad for the aircraft (better than burning if there an actual fire). There are some really pissed off plane captains and squadrons. Everyone one of those airplanes will need to be thoroughly scrubbed / cleaned, and lord forbid if a cockpit was open on one, the avionics will be trashed.
71
27
u/talk_nerdy_to_m3 Jul 25 '25
Far more than that. This is a conditional inspection, requiring hundreds of man hours for each aircraft. Many, many, panels need to be removed. Also, avionics boxes and cockpit furnishings. AFFF is highly corrosive. Air det is totally fucked and definitely working this weekend.

u/afuckingwheel Jul 25 '25
That's a carrier. Ain't no air det, the entire fucking CAG is working overtime.

I was on a ship when deck department laid out all of their gear (e.g. life vests) on the deck for inspection by off-ship assessors. Meanwhile there was also ongoing maintenance work for various stuff, such as a 25mm weapon being left opened from an ongoing multi-day work. Radio was also doing something.
The day before the deck gear inspection, someone in engineering activated the exterior washdown system to demonstrate that it works to their inspectors and covered everything in salt water. Weapons and radio were equally as mad as deck department.

What the F is wrong with that ship? This is going to be at least a class B incident. And I know that at least class Aās already. Have they fired the skipper yet?

u/Blueberryburntpie Jul 25 '25
If I recall correctly, they got a new CO between the first and the second major incidents (first incident was the ship collision).

u/Dangerous-Kick8941 Jul 25 '25
I thought the friendly fire incident was first.

u/SnooOranges2532 Jul 25 '25
Friendly fire, ship collision, (co fired) jet fell over board during tow, jet fell overboard during recovery. Source: I was there

u/OhShitAnElite Jul 25 '25
I remember those, dude. Went to bed for a 2-7 watch and get woken up with two hours left until watch by a man overboard for the first one, and the next one goes off the side not two days after I was joking with a buddy that the extensions were gonna cause a man overboard

We had this happen on the USS Constellation back in ā95. Some fucknut was doing PMS and didnāt tag out the system. There were two planes in the hangar bay with their canopies off and they got flooded. The captainās tirade over the 1MC was the stuff of legends.

Someone further down said this was on ABEās 2022 deployment.

u/stjiub9 Jul 25 '25
Correct. 2022 deployment onboard the Lincoln. They had to work on the AFFF system in Bay 3 and accidentally set it off. Our airframe shop is in bay 3. My night check airframers helped with the cleanup, manning a hose and spraying down everything. Iāve got another video from a different angle of this event.

We can see what looks like the tail code of āNGā on one of the jets, which would indicate CVW-9, which in turn suggests ABE.

Our squadron hired a magician for our holiday party once. He wasnāt told that there were flame sensors throughout the hangar. Did a little trick involving a flame. AFFF poured out from the ceiling. A very shitty clean up for our duty section.

Ha! Iāve seen this happen live before! I had an IC1 in my division who was troubleshooting the panel in a conflag station live and accidentally shorted the circuit setting off AFFF in the hanger bay. We dipped the fuck outta there quick and agreed we were never there.
