There needs to be a house rule that the B/N in the A-6 has to attempt whatever accent Defoe was trying to pull off in that film.

Hahaha. !
If that means I get my “Six”, I start studying NOW!
I think that was Dafoe pulling off Dafoe. I mean, I heard overtones of Agent Smecker in there, as well as some Norman Osborn.
“ya see, Iron Hand’s ma thing.”

And here I heard… Whatever the name of Ving Rhames’s character was (Muldowski? The Structural shop chief?), during the scene at… I think Pauline’s? (O-Club basement in the book).

Muldowski isn’t he the chief in The Intruders by Stephen Coonts? Great book! Didn’t realize he was in the movie too, going to have to rewatch it.

Chief Warrant Officer and Shooter - he was in the first two books, yes. Ving Rhames played I believe a Master Chief something or other who had shades of Muldowski’s character (“I don’t hear your engine, and I don’t see your salute!”), but I don’t remember him getting a name in the movie.

BOSUN! The guy was a beast in the book! 
Would make more sense, I am not involved in finding SME’s, nor can I verify who they are in random responses on an internet forum.
No worries…I had just read that in your role, according to Wags you’d “…be focusing on the our forums, Steam forum, Facebook, Youtube channel, tech support tickets, and module research…” So I (incorrectly) thought some input from a current Hornet pilot might be useful (not just with regards to a single switch in the aircraft, but more broadly in how operations work). Sounds like you guys have all the information you need internally though.

I have run into so many people claiming to be something they are not, not saying this is the case here, but I dont think ED needs my help with SME’s, they have many contacts in the military, as well as through TFC. That is not to say they would turn away another SME, but they need to approach Matt, and with proof of who they are. I cant flag everyone with an opinion, not to say I didnt point out his original points though, as I did in order to get the answers I did.
Much of my module research falls on the WWII stuff. Scanning microfilm, chasing down leads, and searching for all that stuff you cant find in google.
