Has the implementation of a jump program had a negative affect on boat skills at SBU-20? There are only 24 hours in a day. It would figure that every hour you spend working on your air gear would be an hour you can't spend working on the boats. How has 20 adjusted?

Frog's eloquence aside, does anyone have anything more substantive to add?

Why, because no one wants to discuss an honest question?

To save the BTDT's any dangerous increases in blood pressure, lemme take this one.

Former,
I believe what Frog and Seahunt are trying to tell you that you question is one, that if discussed at all, is to be discussed within the community and not on an open forum.

Just ride um don't drive um. LT you are in the loop so try a DSN call to 20 and ask. This neither the place or the time for any answers to questions like that right now.

Agreed! I'll do my best to keep my professional curiosities under the radar. Good to know, by the way, that there are plenty of folks out there worried about the guys on the business end of "national policy." Cheers....(although I have to say that the the current duty station no longer feels like "the loop.")

The guys you are referring to are not only the ones concerned, they ARE the ones on the business end.

I actually answered your question when I said "no". The jump program has not decremented boat skills or the maintenance sked.
