BB, you are correct sir! The 38 Boldface was easier, just Handgrips - Raise.

An O-2 saying: "In my experience..."

An O-3 saying: "Watch this..."

An O-5 saying: "I've seen this before, not good..."

Sounds kind of like what you never want to hear in an classic airliner cockpit:

an FE saying: "uh oh..."

an FO saying: "I've got an idea!"

or a CA saying: "Ya'll watch this!"

What was that BS we used to say? Line on line, point on point, four green, no red no amber two good cookers, lets go.

I still dont know what that was all about.

How 'bout this one for the USN guys.

Tomcat spin recovery boldface (can't believe I still remember this):

"Stick - Forward, neutral lateral, lock harness.
Both Throttles - Idle
Rudder- Opposite turn needle/yaw.

If no recovery:

Stick - into Turn Needle.

If still no recovery:

Check Roll SAS - ON
Stick - Into and Aft turn needle

If recovery indicated:

Controls - neutralize
Recover at 17 units AOA
Thrust as required.

If flat spin verified by flat attitude, increasing yaw rate, increasing eyeball out G, lack of pitch and rolls rates:

Canopy - Jettison
RIO - Command Eject."

Try spitting that one out at the 5am mass brief.

(disclaimer-- It's been a while, I probably forgot a step. Sorry, SDO duty for me).
