* As a pilot, you are entitled to have your own personal "battle mix" while flying.
You are NOT entitled to wide-band broadcast it across the general battle frequencies.
Nor are you entitled to slip q a 50-salcred note and have him do it for you.
Finally, you are not repeat NOT entitled to hack the PA system during full-dress reviews with allied services and broadcast said battle mix at full volume while the dignitaries are speaking. (Normally, I would say that this goes without saying, but....)(A WDF-revival era one....)
* Neither the SDF-23 nor any other WDFN vessel is "the Love Boat," their patrols are neither "making another run" nor "offer something for everyone," and their destinations are never "a new romance." (No, not even if Gryphon is aboard.)
* No more using Jimmy Buffett song lyrics to fill mandatory word-counts in your after-action reports.
* When operating as part of a first-contact team, remember: that attractive female alien dignitary has NOT lost "that lovin' feelin', whoa, that lovin' feelin'." It is not "gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh-whoa." You are not repeat NOT to attempt to "bring it on back." (And while we're on the topic, high-speed passes -- be they over an air-control tower or an admiral's daughter -- are expressly forbidden.)
* Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" is a fine song with an admirable message. The middle of a dogfight is not a fine time to sing along with it, especially not with the comm net open.
"Everyone gets lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars..."
