I'll take the NATOPS question for $200, Alex. Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS). CheriH, the best article is this Wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_check_list#Specific_Aircraft_Ma...

Ok...question. What is a 4 ship night flight and what is NATOPS?
Heard all about the carrier quals from DS yesterday. Absolutely amazing to hear him describe trapping and catapulting. Best part was he loved it and wanted to do it again! Next up Basic Fighter Maneuvers. And then winging!!!
JudyM...love the D-Day Growler/LSO story.
And it is wonderful to hear all of your news and LO's accomplishments. Love reading all of it!

Here is an example of our small world. One of our neighbors was in Normandy for the D-Day activities. He runs into a guy with a growler patch on his uniform. He strikes up a conversation and yes he flies the EA -18 growler. Our neighbor relates that a neighbors son (our DS) flies growler and recently did CQs and gave our last name. Well. . . turns out he was the landing safety officer for our son when he qualled on the Reagan over Memorial Day. And, of course, our son knew him.
What a small world it is.

First flights are exciting and scary for us as well as for our lived ones.

NOAM, Glad to hear he's "safe and sound." My son also had his first F-18 flight yesterday at Oceana; needless to say we were all excited it went well.

He's at Oceana, Suzie. And I am endlessly grateful he wasn't alone!

Good evening ladies. My DS called today to tell me my favorite poem: "Hi Mom, I'm safe and sound and on the ground!" Needless to say I was thrilled (as usual) to hear both from him and the poem. He's in training on the F18 and had his first flight this week. When I told him I was surprised he didn't call right after the flight, he said there was a small issue that delayed him. Seems he g-locked for during the flight, but he was with an instructor so it was all fine. His g-suit wasn't hooked up properly. Needless to say my heart first jumped to my throat, rapidly followed with a prayer thanking God he wasn't alone. If he hadn't been the one telling me that, I think I would have fainted.
Just like the ups and downs of ocean waves, the Navy guarantees many ups and downs during this journey, and as moms of pilots we all pray for safety both ways! Have a great day ladies!
