Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust are Navy pilots. When a string of minor accidents cause a disturbance on the flight deck and a group of suspicious sailors catch their attention, the two of them wonder if it's more than just a coincidence. With nothing better to do, the dynamic duo become rookie detectives in matters they have no business investigating.
One's a brash, heavily caffeinated hothead that plays by her own rules. So's the other one. They're bored.

5756913 It is what it is.
5756929 It's not badly written. Just found it kinda underwhelming. No offense.
The coverart... that Buck's handi-work?
5756943 give it another chance... I am positive TNAB will not disappoint.
5757022 He rarely does.
5757032 now... if I could convince him and V-Pony to be online more often... maybe we can get that Brony Defense Chat channel rolling this time... especially now that I have a system that can make the videos and stuff that much better.
5757022 Yep, Buckweiser gave me permission to use it.
Damn it, this is like the 3rd or 4th one that's kind of similar to something I thought if.
Are you psychic?
5757060
For the record I've offered to help with it a few times. I just assumed you guys quit.
It should be "hungry"
Let's hope she used lube...
I hope the other side has even worse jets, or else Equestria is gonna lose this war... Unless someone indeed wants to kill Rainbow and Lightning.
5757200 She's hungry-angry.
5757216
Oh yeah. Silly me...
Crappy jets due to crappy budget? Did the American Congress & President Oboma get their hands on equestrian taxes?
5757133 if we can get the ball rolling again, I think you would be a welcome addition. The issue seems to be time. I am guessing that TNAB has been as busy as V-Pony lately.
5757331
It depends on who you want, really. I've got a few good friends here who are in the service who may enjoy it. So there could be another with those additions. Course all the new people coming in wouldn't have the same original crew as the first, but having extras gives some additional ability if others are unavailable.
5757394 that is what I need to talk to TNAB and V-pony about, so that we can get things settled down and sorted
Only complaint I have is that nopony has referred to the jet jocks as "Prench whores" yet. Other than that, the Bird farm has no pickets?
Oh hey, you posted it! I guess we have to get back to work on the next two chapters. I definitely dig that cover art, my thanks to Buck for making it and being kind enough to let us use it on our story. Thanks to TNaB for working on this collab with me and having great taste in pony art. You rock!
5756913
You try making the first two chapters of a story called "War is Boring" exciting! It should get more entertaining over time... in theory. I blame TNaB.
5757216 ,
5761791
Great start! I've gotta wonder that things will get munch less boring for Dash & Co. Real soon, as there must be a reason somepony wanted to take both her and LD out at the same time.
Gremlins did it
5764436
How did you know?! Now we have to rewrite the next few chapters... Thanks, Obama.
5766220
At least their not trying to fly F-22s. Those things don't need to be sabotaged to fall apart.
Does the F/A-41Q have a design yet?
5778988 Not that I'm aware
Maybe everyone hates them
That sounds dirtier than it should
5897578
I'm certain it sounded exactly as it was meant to...
5920425
Yeah. After all, armies in general are full of big boys who like phallic symbols...
1. The Army is the only service now that accepts service in lieu of prison time. DON stopped in the mid-90s, with the AF even before that.
2. The fact that Vinyl's down there means she's enlisted (and likely junior enlisted), so her hitting on Dash are grounds for fratinization charges.
3. If pegasi are flying all the time even in the skin of the ship, their sea legs must suck.
A penal army?

The formula for this story was: Naval Aviation+MLP+crack.
Wait until we find out how Derpy makes her coffee.
6021871
Eh, you know me: always a stickler for naval authenticity.
I can tell this story is gonna be a real hit with the ladies...
I have to ask the obvious question... Why haven't these two gone to the CAG about the incidents?
6090711 Right there in the description: brash, hot headed, own rules
If War is Boring, then I guess you could say War. War never changes. Luckily, this won't devolve into nuclear fire.
6098204
What makes you so sure? 
Air force can't be that bad
6098240 I've spoken with Navy pilots who have visited Air Force bases. This is actually only slightly exaggerated. They do have their good points, but it's an alien environment for a tailhook pilot.
Lol! Heheheh. This is so true. My cousin is a Hornet jockey in the RCAF and worked with some carrier pilots during a maple flag ex. Her stories about their land-bound misadventures and reactions we just like this.
What I meant to write: "We're going to be doing some joint-attack ops with the flycolts."
I found another one... was or is, but not was is. Derp.
SHIT.
Oh crap! Time to get out of Dodge!

Quick... Tell him that he's right and kiss him!
6849763
Yes! It is the best of all possible responses!
Ha! RD ya dun fucked up!
The relationship is doomed
