Hey fellers....
In light of all the funny Multi. videos that have come out, here's a good one that you guys might really like? Its my old job with AWACS (formally Airborne Warning and Control System, but actually known as America's War Against Common Sense) as a mission crewmember.
Paco, you might get a few chuckles out of this, especially if you had to be around any airforce weapons school patch wearers or navy fighter weapons school guys? Enjoy.

SpazSinbad:
Thanks Sludge, Yep the pilots aren't listening. That is why you have to:
Tell them what you are going to tell them
Tell them
Remind them what you have just told them
The PERFECT Briefing! ;D
Sludge:
Spaz...
That would be a good analysis, 'cept those AWAC'ers are mission crew NOT pilots. They are mostly wanna-be pilots that didnt get a UPT slot and got sent to AWACS as in-the-backseat-of-a-737 controllers.
Just love how airforce weapons school grads (the guys with the pointy patch on left arm) can talk til the cows come home and keep going. Thats mostly what the video is making fun of... It starts in training and never ends. Go to a Red Flag and the worst thing are the mass briefings. The USAF LOVES ITS BRIEFS and DEBRIEFS, especially AWACS.

I thought CASE I recoveries are supposed to be "zip lip" :-X
ZIP LIP (wiki ref)
Maintaining radio silence, or “zip lip”, during Case I launches and recoveries is the norm, breaking radio silence only for safety-of-flight issues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_United_States_Navy_carrier_air_operations
There is definitely a lot of breaking of radio silence, but then again there is also a lot of safety of flight issues (i.e. 350kt passes, two guys landing at once) ;) I guess it wouldn't be much fun if it was only zip lip. Looking forward to joining the next multiplayer mission, looks fun!

p.s. Do you guys give LSO debriefs or grades?
