I just look at that as furthering my aviation education by preparing me for the 777 rack (and unlike the 777, we didn't have to "hot bunk" on the boat).

Hot-Racking Navy pilots "choose" to do so.

Air Force and movies??
Have to look no further than the "B-Rate" cut staring young Doug Masters and his side kick "Chappy" in the thriller "Iron Eagle"

Top Gun was about navy pilot's? I thought it was about a bunch of gay guys that hung out in a locker room, played volleyball, and then hung out in a locker room some more.

I think the whole Chicago HQ decision was more about the Big O from Chicago approving the deal and stealing the Crown Jewel of Texas. I dont mean Oprah, but then again she goes by the same title and now we have a plane dedicated to her.

In Top Gun, Maverick went into the ladies room to remove some panties from a female (which 20 years later turned out to be gay)...in the Air Force movie the guys w/ ascots were wearing the panties.
