Yes, NO NAME finished at the bottom of his class in the US Navy. And if I remember correctly there was a total of 5 or 6 aircraft crashes he was involved in. If any military pilot crashed an aircraft, whether it was their fault or not, their career was pretty much washed up. NO NAME's career somehow survived despite all his crashes. His persona was actually that of "Maverick" in the movie "Top Gun". NO NAME was a known as a 'playboy' in the Navy just like Tom Cruz played in the movie. As a politician, NO NAME was also called a "Maverick". Coincidence?
The USS Oriskany came along to assist the Forrestal in transferring the injured on-board because the Forrestal was so overwhelmed with injured. I was told by these DC instructors of all the injuries that occurred on the Forrestal, NO NAME was the first to be transferred to the USS Oriskany. They told me besides having some cuts and scrapes NO NAME escaped injury. I recall them telling me the scuttlebutt was quickly spreading and the brass feared the Forrestal crew would kill him, so they had to remove him quickly. This was the reason why he was the first to be transferred off the Forrestal.
