I'm glad it's your birthday, happy birthday to you [Steve]"
Cheers!
Thanks Radar! BTW , we share a "nickname". Back in the USN, on board the plane, I was usually called "RADAR" or Sensor 3. 
i called my jez something far less endearing...especially when doing MAD ops and the SOB would shout "Erection detection!" into his headset when making contact...
here's another happy b-day wish, steve...i think the first one got lost in my logging efforts a few pages ago...
Thanks again! Funny thing in most of the squadrons I was in SS#1+SS#2 gone on great with the NFO's , but just about every SS#3 was at war with them (the NFO's) . SS#3's gone on great with the PPC,1P,2P , but the jez operator's often didn't. Never understood this. My last crew was different. ALL the AW's hated the "No-p's" (NFO's).
your jez was different than your SS3?
Absolutely! SS#3 didn't sit "side saddle"!
but it was the same operator, no?
No. Sensor 1+2 were the acoustic Jez operators , Sensor #3 (me) was the RADAR,ESM,MAD and FLIR operator. Ditching station #8 in the P-3C , and I for get the ditching station in the P-3A and P-3B , but he was 1st on the rail ,nearest to the flight station.
i'm such an idiot! this whole time i was mis-remembering that the jez was accoustic, not electronic...frick... ...sorry to insult you!...my last story was about my SS3...but i guess you figured that when i mentioned he was operating the MAD gear...
Actually I didn't, a lot of our crews were dual qualified, and those who weren't often took turns operating the other station (it help out a lot on rating exams). My crew was notorious for yelling stuff over the ICS... intended to screw up the rest of the crew. My entire crew had a particular animosity to our TACCO and would call out bogus periscope sightings.On counter drug ops, cross countries, we once even called it while transiting over the great lakes. That came back and bit us during the 1st Gulf war. We were on patrol near the straits of Gibraltar when the boat we were working on decided to surface under us! We were screaming for the TACO to take action, and he refused to belive us. In frustration our PPC rolled the plane onto the left wing , pining the TACCO against the window till he said "oh look! There's a submarine under us!"
