So There I Was Review

“For Fig and Repete,
I have listened to your podcast since it was introduced on the Mac Geek Gab podcast. At first, I did not think I would listen as I was a wannabe aviator (Navy Supply Corps - pork chop/bad eyes). However, once I started listening, I was hooked.
Not only was I reintroduced to Navy and Marine Corps lingo, but I recalled that aviators of my vintage (1973-1976) were free spirits. I now understand why a bit better: the combination of high testosterone and the hazards of the job required blowing off proverbial steam.
I was once aboard the Enterprise on temporary duty, where they put me in a ready room to get me out of the way. A Lieutenant/pilot took me on a tour of the aviation spaces, up to the observation deck of the island while the ship was running GQ drills. In the process, he probably opened every secured hatch on the way and ignored the comments from ship's company.
I have two suggestions for you. First, I suggest that you invite the Drill Sergeants from your OCS stories (hilarious, by the way) if you can find them, to get their side of the stories. Second, I suggest that you create a link on the website to all the technical jargon that you use on the podcast, so that those of us who are grounded can understand just a bit better. You may be able to pick up definitions from Navy and Marine Corps websites.
Keep up the good work on both podcasts!”Read full review »

“If you’re a fan of aviation and the stories pilots tell to and about each other this is the show for you! Repete and Fig bring in some great guests each week to talk about their experiences in aviation. I can’t wait to hear who is next each week!”

“Listened to my first episode on my road trip after a friend suggested it. The stories were hilarious and gives a glimpse into things like aviation, military, etc. that you wouldn’t get the chance to hear about otherwise. Highly recommend!”

“Hands down the best part of trips is the knowledge exchanged amongst aviators and one could argue the best forum is pre-dinner side bars. Whether you’re a pair of dart drivers or part of a dirty crew aircraft, everyone appreciates the stories shared as much as those lived together. Fig, Repeat,...”Read full review »
