Um, FlyVet unfortunately sat behind a desk a lot...paper flow will continue, hours be damned...however, FlyVet occasionally had time for "management by walking around", and that was a good thing.
As a side note, those who may want to question the quality of the young people joining the service now, as compared to, in my experience, 20 years ago, are just plain wrong. When the chips are on the table, sorry bout that, but you do not want to mess with them. They have pride, and take their job very seriously.
A very promising young Navy test pilot I knew who had just graduated from Princeton, crashed and died during a non-combat flight. It really bothers me when the left tries to diminish Pres. Bush's flying experience. It takes real courage, as well as skill and intelligence, to do that work.
