At the Oceana, VA., Naval Air Station, I was training a young ground crew member on how to direct an F-14 into the fuel pit.   I glanced over to check wing clearance and when I looked back, discovered that he had taxied the aircraft too far forward for the fuel hose to reach.  “You’ll have to send him around again,” I informed the trainee.  “What?” he said surprised.  “They spend millions on these things and you can’t put them in reverse?”

That works on a base flight line but not on an aircraft carrier, out of position have to call for a 'PUSH BACK!'
