So I begin to compile a list of statements and quotes that I think are guidelines for life i agree with. I take no credit for original thought.
Price’s Principles
1. Be a better person than you were yesterday.

The newest episode of Sea States is live! MSC Commander Rear Adm. Benjamin Nicholson and team share key updates and keep Mariners, Sailors, and Civilians informed on issues impacting the fleet and the command.

@FarvaPrice is one of the best there is. We’ve never met, but everything I’ve seen from him here is goodness.
Just a suspicion, but maybe he doesn’t want his feed littered with your selfish, myopic, dismissive, groveling, and maudlin rantings and ravings.

A Naval aviator who is CO of a ship operated by the US Merchant Marine who claims to support the Merchant Marine blocks angry Merchant Mariners online who say senior Navy officers treat the USMM like garbage, then jumps into comments on a Naval officer thread that trashes the Merchant Marine for being old, fat and lazy. You see the problem here, Captain @FarvaPrice?

@SereneV_c @planefag @heatloss1986 Because for the longest time (and still predominantly the case) it had the lowest requirements for danger close employments.
English
@planefag @heatloss1986 I would ask why do the JTACs want guns? What effect are they looking for? What do guns do that precision guided munition cannot? If Henry Ford had given the masses what they asked for, it would've been a faster horse.
English
They shot several boats. It's not significantly cheaper to operate than an F-15E at this point but less capable. Stop it. Let it die. If you want a dedicated attack aircraft, we can have that conversation. The A-10 is not it. It's based on outdated concepts and technology.

@BDHerzinger I am a big fan of MSC and their capabilities. Even more over the last year leading a hybrid crew on Mount Whitney.

5. I also agree that the USN across the board is under educated on their relationship w/USMM. This is a critical blind spot that should be addressed earlier in an officer’s career rather than later.
English
I’m a steadfast booster of the Merchant Marine. I have served on a ship with a dual civ-mil crew. If I accepted the premise that USN working level attitudes are anti-USMM, and I don’t really, I might attribute part of it to a few observations of my own:

Especially #4. The US Merchant Marine is sick and tired of all the hate and contempt. I’ll take it all day long and say thank you but Gen Z won’t put up with these petty games and is voting with their feet. Actually they already have 👇

Finally...fighter pilots also do not like to admit when they have lost in BFM. Of all the fighter pilot interviews out there...I challenge you to find one that says they were only mediocre at BFM or that they were actually bad at it. I have yet to find one.
English
Now in our technical discussion we have almost solely focused on the aircraft and EM Theory. We have made allusions to the pilots but never fully expanded upon that or the context that dogfighting (BFM) exists in or any kind of utility value.

@heatloss1986 @SpitfirevsBf109 And here is a whole thread I did on single versus two seat life:

Farva Price@FarvaPrice
In Naval Aviation, the only missions that are exclusively flown by Foxtrots is Forward Air Control (Airborne) (FAC(A).) They also primarily fly as Rescue Mission Commander (RMC), but that is not a hard and fast requirement. /33
English
@heatloss1986 @SpitfirevsBf109 Meh, I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself. The single-seat versus two-seat argument is always decisive. Even A-10’s mostly operate as a two ship as FAC(A).
If I was single seat FAC(A)ing, I would have the other aircraft manage the stack while worked targets and 9-lines.
English
The A-10 was an outstanding platform because it excelled at the “proximity” part of the equation for two reasons, it could minimize the circular error of probability (CEP) and could carry weapons with smaller drag patterns.
Farva Price@FarvaPrice
CAS = ordnance employed in close proximity to friendlies requiring detailed integration. Two pillars: proximity and integration. Both demand precise target location. /2
English
Oh BTW, if there is no close proximity to friendlies that requires detailed integration then it’s not CAS. It’s just sparkling air interdiction which is a different conversation.
But coordinates are still king.
English
I did a whole thread on CEP and precision a while back.

So this popped into my eyeballs on the same day I finished the second-half of @AirmindedPod Gulf War recap. Great listen with a good discussion of how precision guided munitions (PGMs) came to the forefront of AirPower discussions.
English
Staying high isn’t just about survivability.
It’s about shifting from eyeballs to sensors to coordinates.
Because in CAS, coordinates are king /fin.
English
I would argue a single seat aircraft is more than capable of operating as a FAC(A). Stack management and target generation are feasible with reasonable number of aircraft. /9
English
Sort of. Technology matters—but not for the reason most think. It’s about coordinate generation.
And in CAS, coordinates are king. /1
Heatloss@heatloss1986
But CAS and airborne FAC are now both done with fast jets from altitude. Why? Because the technology allows aviators to spend less time trying not to get shot (or crash) and more time paying attention to what's happening down below.
