I'd love to see how we could use this song this season:

LIGHT 'EM UP is very appropriate for a team called the Jets.
Even has the lyrics "I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart"
Such a good balance to "Never Tear Us Apart"
In all my time working on them or watching strike footage, I don't think i've ever heard anybody use that phrase or even refer to it if i am honest
Jaliens gives me the horn
Well what term would you use? I actually contacted the RAAF museum to ask them what term they use to select and fire on an enemy and they didn't have a clue.
Well there's your first problem. Museum is only going to know about Aircraft, not pilot terminology
What term they use is dependant on whatever munition they are firing.

Ok, what are the range of terms used. I'm genuinely interested and you are the first person who knows something about it.
I didn't want to ring up the RAAF with such a non important question
NVM. I've got my own contacts in the RAAF, including a former pilot, just haven't used them. However, I doubt there will be such a ready made song for any term that is more genuinely used than "Light em up". The public understand that "Light em up" is a military term, even if only in the movies.
Your not getting a Jets crowd singing a Fall out boy song, Sorry never happening.
FFS, they don't have to sing the song. It is the Oh Oh Oh part that the Squadron can pick up. Got any suggestions yourself? trying to organise this shit I have just felt this overwhelming sense of negativity from every corner of Jets fandom. What they hell is wrong with you all?
I played it at the Thirsty Messiah in the lead up to the march to the stadium and it had a vibe. Helped build excitement for the game.
With the greatest respect mate, I am sure that you mean well but nobody has asked you to do this..

What was everyone's thoughts on the squadron yesterday?
I think going down early killed the vibes a tad. But will see what happens this year.
Definitely think we can grow with results this year
Im all for the stuff your doing and glad its working, Just personally don't see a jets crowd signing to a FOB song.
Dude I don't expect anything from you. Just telling you what I see. Not just on here but general Jets fandom. It's like there is some kind of PTSD syndrome to being a Jets fan.
Thanks for clarifying that. I'm starting to see these negative responses like "Sorry, never happening" without any context as just attacks. The forum used to be a place where you could put stupid shit up and some of it would work and some of it wouldn't and the humour was so incredibly funny. I am probably the worst person to think of football chants but nobody else is doing it. Yeah, like Buddha said, noone is asking me to do it, except some people did. The kids asked for help and they are really great kids and they actually appreciate it. The kid couldn't drum yesterday because he had blisters. Nobody asked me to go to first-aid and get him tape but I did it anyway.

There is 100% PTSD if youve stuck with the Jets since the beggining pretty much
Yeah, had a chat during first half with a mate who has been with it from the start, and moved from the half-way line to the Southern hill for the last 3 seasons. He has survived by just enjoying the comradery and accepting that this is our club, not Tottenham Hotspur (his EPL club). He has managed to retain his sanity with very little PTSD. I was impressed.
Dangerous to ask for people's thoughts on here atm Dylan.
I thought the pre-game was unbelievably good. It kind of had this punk CBGB vibe to it. Was so happy that (probably shouldn't mention who because of existing sponsorships) showed up and they got the vibe.
The guys in Bay 1 just need some experience. Someone needs to look out for players to chant for when they do something class on the field, using the chants on WhatsApp for the players or coming up with new ones on the day. Having a range of them like "Super Clayton Taylor" etc will work well. There was too much Ole Ole and not enough chants to reference what we were watching.
The guys I talked to in Bay 1 were just so nice. They talked about how they fell in love with Active Support by watching us when they were kids.
I think it is going to be a return to the glory days, because that is what they all want.
