Welcome aboard the LSO platform on the USS George Washington (CVN 73). Today, we are training Naval Flight Students to land on an aircraft carrier for the first time. To pass, students require ten traps, two touch-and-goes, and must meet GPA and boarding rate requirements. For CQ, we have a whole lot of LSOs on the platform. Both NAS Kingsville and NAS Meridian have students training, so you will see LSOs from the respective student squadrons cycle behind the pickle for their passes. Naval Flight Students carrier qualify without an instructor in the backseat. This is one of the most stressful but also rewarding evolutions the students will perform. Students are lead overhead the boat by a qualified Lead Safe, then it's over to them to perform. If students disqualify on their first attempt, they will attempt to re-qualify at their next opportunity. Two disqualifications, however, generally results in a platform change for the student. If you look closely, you can see the ship's one-wire or "ace" was stripped, so Mom only had three wires for CQ. If you enjoyed this jam, make sure to check out my COD recovery voiceover, where I breakdown LSO duties and responsibilities. It's a quick, two-minute jam that might pique your curiosity.
