I personally was treated like shit by Tom Cruise as a Marine E4 assigned to his BS detail when he came to our base.  Condescending prick to everyone except the fans, even his own people.  Around him for about 6 hours one day.  So glad that shift was over.

Non judicial punishment I believe. Pulling rank, shit duties and such vs jail and finds.

Correct in most non serious instances you can opt for that instead of going to a trial. Usual punishments are loss of rank and some pay as well as restriction and extra duty.

He was a LT in 1986, so he's got at least four years in, right? Figure a 1982 Commissioning. It's 2019, so a minimum of 37 years. Shouldn't he be wearing stars on his shoulder boards by now?

Or forced to retire.  30 years is the max without an act of congress.  Which is why flag officers are confirmed by congress.

That said, it's not the worst mistake Hollywood has ever made

This guy had a very interesting career....about 25 years in the cockpit, starting with F-8s and transitioning to Tomcats.  He was an absolute LEGEND as an LSO.

He died in a training accident in October of 1991.

I feel like I am repeating myself but he was in the front seat with an instructor in the back. Or maybe reverse but he was 100% flying. My JOs had even heard him on the radio while airborne.

Not to my knowledge. You have to be a winged aviator and NATOPs qualified in the F18 to fly alone.

I’ll dig around some and get some more details.

Once the pilot in the other seat says "You have the controls" you are flying the plane.

That I can believe, but not solo in a military fighter jet. Is VFA122 east coast or west?

The trailer looks amazing, I still have concerns that the movie will be some SJW’d out pile of steaming feces.

West coast.

I’m sure it will have some SJW elements. For certain the representation of sex and race will in no way match what is really in the Fleet.
