Read a book, Fuzz by M. Roach. About policing animals - very interesting. She mentions that scarecrows scare crows about a week and then they ignore them. Even worse, some learn that scarecrows indicate a good food source and start attracting them to fields.

And with that, back to memes:

@GyroF-16 knows where this story is going.

In the USAF fighter world, we have to wear cold water exposure suits under our flight gear when we fly over water less than 60 degrees. If you eject, the suit allows you to stay alive long enough to get into your one-man raft, and maybe survive to rescue. When I was at Misawa in northern Japan for 3 years, we flew over water to train almost exclusively, and had to wear poopy-suits (what we called them) 8 months out of the year. That shit got old, and the suits quite smelly. The wrist cuffs and neck seals on these older-style rubberized fabric suits were very tight latex rubber, and the suits have glued-on booties that go inside your flight boots. You strip, don nomex long underwear, don the poopy-suit, re-don your flight suit, add a survival vest, g-suit, and ejection harness with inflatable horse-collar flotation vest. It was about 60 lbs of gear, and a pain-in-the-ass.

When you don the suit and gear, you have to burp the excess air out of the suit, do squats to compress the suit, and release the burped air from the neck and wrist seals. This leads to the great game. If you fart in your suit (and you will), it is not going anywhere. In fact, with a little skill, you can be standing at the ops desk, waiting for some person to finish giving your flight its final weather/updates before you step to the jets, and aim that pickled fart out the cuff of your sleeve into your friend’s/wingman’s nose. Good times. Payback is a bitch.

That is EXACTLY what came to mind when I saw that picture.

If you have ever seen the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode "The Star Fighters*", and you should if you want to see Mike & the bots run out of jokes about refueling, they get a LOT of mileage out of making poopy suit jokes.

*Basically an early 60's Lockheed feature length infomercial for the F-104 trying to be a dramatic film, and failing hard. Features refueling, Bob Dornan, refueling, landing, smooth jazz, more refueling, and comic relief that crashes harder than a napalm canister. And refueling.

So - like a navy F-18 squadron’s “cruise video”, but substitute “landing on the boat” for “refueling”.
Occasional weapons employment, lots of “got the 3 wire”.
