THat’s not what he’s really saying. He’s saying the pilot might not likely fly a high performance jet for the military anymore. Which is more than likely true. At least that’s how I read his comment.
Unexpected turbulence is sometimes a polite way of saying “he screwed up”. Doesn’t have to be the case, but the Navy frowns upon pilots who lose their aircraft.
F/A 18’s don’t have any gas.
“Running out of gas is always a pilot error.”

I’m not a pilot nor have any expertise with aviation as I was a mere M-16 operator while working for the Big Green Machine way back in the day. However, having said all this, just want to say that it’s my understanding that jet engines don’t burn gas. Just saying, lol :)
