Gary is going solo this week. He has a special guest, Retired Commander, Bob Acker.
They discuss the accidents of the USS McCain and the USS Fitzgerald.
They also discuss Marine Corp Squadron VFMA 242
Could these 2 accidents and one unprepared squadron be prevented? What are the findings that come out of the accident reports? Retired Commander Bob Acker and Gary Casimir discuss the reasons that these accidents happened from their view.
Was it money? Was that the reason? Is the Navy relying on too much technology to substitute for “real life” experience? Are “What If” scenarios plugged into the simulators? Not enough time for training due to uptempo operations? Is the right punishment being meted out? Are there problems recruiting enough people to man all these vessels, adequately.
