Last Thursday, 1 October 2020, I suffered a meltdown and unloaded negatively in all directions here in our forum. This is probably one of the drawbacks of having spent 21 years in the Navy working on and flying in various aircraft. While in the Navy, as a Senior NCO, conflict resolution usually ended with, “Because I said so!” For me personally, this trait is worsened as I am a Navy Brat. My dad served 31 years in Uncle Sam’s Giant Canoe Club, working on and flying in various aircraft. Dad was the last of the enlisted back-seaters in the F-4J and made his final flight in 1978. Although he retired in 1994, he served in Korea, Vietnam, and the first Persian Gulf War. Not to make excuses for my actions but my passion for aviation started when I was very young, and I still possess my very first aircraft spotters book. I may dig it out and take some pictures of it later.
But anyways, I need to apologize to this great community (which includes everyone - the Devs, Mods, fellow Alpha/Beta testers, and everyone else). I am truly sorry for my behavior. Going forward I will try harder not to be so intense, and work to not be so offensive when my passion is running high. Although these traits in some ways served me well in the Navy, as a civilian, not so much. Nevertheless, I do hope everyone understands and won’t hold anything against me. Again, I am truly sorry for the way I behaved.
Thank you sir. Nuff respect to you. The fact you admit to your mistakes is a true sign of self love, self honesty and maturity… you’re human after all…
I would imagine that it’s very difficult switching from a military life to a civilian life. Different rules, different way of life, different lifestyle.
You know, it’s a real shame to look at the forum sometimes and the amount of toxicity is unbelievable…I feel so sad, disappointed and downright ashamed for the behaviour of some people here. Have your views, but be respectful of people and their views… opinions are like armpits and mouths…everyone has one!! And people, its only a sim, a sim that will improve and get better with time. Its still new, so its crawling before it walks.can we please govern our passions sensibly.this forum also has good tips that helped my simming a lot. Thanks for reading!!
