USMC fear not, the sh1it hot is still alive and well at the boat. My personal best was about 550 kts .5 astern. My roommate on the boat routinely pulled off the evil break (600+ kts, .6 astern, 600 feet). Somewhere on you tube there's a hud tape from a Hornet in the break at the boat at .98 and 500'. I've recently seen guys inside the initial with the shock cone coming off the jet.

At the field.... yeah not so much.


Ryan make sure you take that attitude with you to Primary. Your IP's will love you.
