Awesome.
I was the Line Div O as a LTjg in my first squadron, which was the first H-60 squadron flying the newest helo in the Navy. I decided to qualify as a Plane Captain, so I could relate to the young men doing what are called "dailies and turns" on the helicopters. The "Line" Division handles all routine maintenance, launch and recovery of aircraft, etc.
The Maintenance Master Chief, the best leader of men and smartest person in real time I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with, told me, "First time I've seen this, jg. If you are serious, I recommend you do not F it up".
