Dyslexia? Who cares? Well, just as long as you don't mount the right-side rockets on the left-side rails...

Don't joke about that! Hellfires are ambidextrious.

Mk 46 torpedoes, on the other hand, are left-right specific.

I've learned the hard way.

Do you really want to learn what happens when your load team screws up a load on a Nimitz class carrier?

It ain't pretty!

Yeah, we f'ed up a Mk 46 download. Accidentally hung up the arming lanyard against a swaybrace when we were dropping the weapon. Oops! We had to do proficiency loads in front of our MO and CAG Gunner for a week to prove we weren't completely incompetent.

The Navy doesn't f' around with mistakes.
