I remembered a documentary on WW2 Japanese naval pilots where many were supplied a "well-trained" wife also educated and conversational on many varied topics. It is safety related so I will post it in spite of the subject matter.
From this article:

"... Navy pilots at Rabaul were strongly encouraged to use the comfort stations in the belief that sexually deprived pilots were more accident-prone. Informal reasons for maintaining the comfort system included a Japanese superstition that sexual relations with a woman, were a charm against defeat in battle. "
Interesting contrast of training philosophy.
From this article:

IJNAF had made a decision about the conduct of the war which was to have far reaching consequences. Training of new pilots was cut back. This put all of its aerial strength "up front" and enabled it to compete with the Americans and their allies on more even basis
Americans, by contrast, chose exactly the opposite strategy after the war was just a few months old. After a short period of trying to put their own stength "up front", they deliberately retained their best pilots as flight instructors for future waves of candidate pilots. They invested large quantities of gasoline in the training of new pilots.
Rabaul IJNAF - sexually deprived pilots more accident-prone
So this is the true meaning of USHPA's 'Focused Pilot' safety campaign?
Can I use my pink bracelet as more than just a 'retaining' ring around my Rosie?
Can I now call upon Steve Murillo to help me connect with some 'ahem' safety coaching?
If the above is true, then this sure gives the old Elsinore/Funston term 'safety meeting' a whole new meaning. "No, I don't want to blow some weed...."
Inquiring (and safety conscious) minds want to know more.
