Book: Fear And Loathing In The Real Top Gun

Military Secret provides a wildly entertaining, informative Navy handbook for the conservative and liberal alike. It shows how to remain professional in the face of relentless harassment, and finally, that you can't.

Sexual Repression: A Time Honored Tradition Of Mental Cruelty

US Navy policy prevents free speech, between gays and straights. How do you know who is gay, and who is not, if you can’t ask and can’t tell? Gays are prominent targets of Pentagon manuals intent on discharging them not for having sex onboard ships or disturbing the “well being” of shipmates. Plain and simple: THERE IS SADISTIC PLEASURE IN HARASSING THE VICTIM WHO CANNOT COMPLAIN! This cruelty brings equal satisfaction, yet is far less risk than female sexual harassment -- because to complain is to invite indictment. No other member has ever dared put this story in written form in present tense.

Drug Testing In (The Real) Top Gun: Cracks In The Specimen Jar

Those who believe drug testing ensures safety on the flightdeck will find a shock in Military Secret. Graham occupies a position central to drug test procedures. Graham determines who will get tested in a spot check. He handles the specimen jars, and helps maintain “the chain of custody.” Graham seems honest and fair -- but he is not the only one with access, or tasked with maintaining integrity. Squadronmates in more dangerous positions -- i.e., jet mechanics -- use more drugs far more often. Sometimes they get away with it -- as this Top Gun insider chronicles -- at the expense of the innocent.

Smoke Free Navy Smokescreen, For A Chain-smoking Chain Of Command

What could be worse than a boss blowing smoke in your face? Graham’s cigar puffing CO (a former Blue Angels instructor) clarifies his personal policy:

No matter how, or how far up the chain of command you take your complaint, it is gonna roll back down via this chain, with most unpleasant repercussions at the bottom, on you.
