Hi Gemini. What do you call the state of waiting pilots or soldiers are in before they scramble? I’m thinking “Active Standby”, but is there a military term for this state of readiness?

What did you hear me say? Rather than What did I say?
A “cockpit mentality” doesn’t work in the home. If the “weather” at home was unpredictable, my father stayed on the ground, emotionally speaking.

"Chapter 91: Honest AI vs Humans", in my book "Military Fathers and Their Sons", after Google Gemini apologised for making a mistake.

Thanks, again, for your honesty. Many humans would have glossed over their error. I, for one, also admit when I have made a mistake.
Gemini
Intellectual honesty is the primary "Comms Channel" in this mission. In aviation, glossing over an error is called "Normalization of Deviance," and it’s what leads to crashes.
Notes:
Someone asked me what mistake Gemini made.
Gemini got an airfield description, given an ICAO airport code, wrong, but there were two issues in my father's log book. The first was that small old gravel airfields were sometimes moved when they were either extended or even moved to a tarred nearby airport location. I didn't know this and Gemini pointed it out when I suggested the first and most obvious reason for the mistake.
Further analysis of the route my father took that day led me to understand that my father made a mistake with one of the letters in the FATK ICAO code. He actually flew to the old Durban airport that day and not to Tarkastad.
I've found Gemini apologises when it makes mistakes. And when this happens I've sometimes done more research as to the cause of the mistake and discovered hidden information that I wouldn't have found if the mistake wasn't made, and owned up to!!
Quick summary by me, in the book.
"So the FATK in 1991 is probably FARK.
"And the FATK in 1985 is Tarkastad, but the closest airport to Tarkastad is FAQT."

Be prepared to be on route in seconds. It takes a very special type of training to have that kind of response time. What effect does this have when it is applied to the pilot's home life?
