Oh c'mon! You can't start a comment like that and not finish it. This doesn't have anything to do with "the hierarchy of Air Force pilots" that almost every F-16 pilot I've flown with just loves to bring up?
From my 28 years of experience doing this I've seen it proven time and time again. Having said that, I've also seen my fair share of bonehead moves and transmissions from fighters as well.
I went down to LZU a few weeks ago for the usual lunch run. I was rolling out on the runway and Tower asked where I was parking - “The Flying Machine” - he said “turn right when able, monitor Ground and taxi to the restaurant via whiskey, g’ day.” I replied and read back the instruction. Once I cleared the runway, I changed over to Ground and monitored as I taxied to the restaurant and shortly after, the Ground controller (who was the same guy working tower) says ‘CHEROKEE ON WHISKEY SAY YOUR CALLSIGN!’ I gave him my tail number and he says ‘roger disregard’. I was like ??? you just changed me over to Ground 15 seconds ago! LOL
I think that’s really it in a nutshell. At least two of the Class D airports I’ve been two on several different occasions both have an ATP base on field + other local flight schools. Just seems like I can just about count on hearing a controller or two raise their voice and get snappy at least once during my visit - or maybe it’s just having me around, I dunno!
A fighter pilot is single-pilot. He isn't in a crew that must coordinate their actions which involve a number of required verbal exchanges. He doesn't have to transfer control from the pilot who landed to the pilot who will taxi. There's a lot going on in the cockpit of a multi-crew airplane between the time that the nose wheel touches down and the aircraft is clear of the runway and configured for taxi-in.
That's fine. You asked a question. I gave you my best answer based on flying multi-pilot aircraft since 1991. Use it, or not, as you like.
Sorry. The instructions are not out of the ordinary or rare to hear. If someone is task saturated then any instruction will be hard to process. Receiving these instructions while clearing a runway is about as easy as it gets.
Thank you sir. So lets say the TRs are stowed and you're under 60 knots, you're communicating with the FO and tower tells you to "remain tower frequency and taxi to park" Who answers the tower or do you just ignore them and do what you want? Now I asked that facetiously and I do mean it tongue in cheek so please take it as such.
In other words, if you took offense, I meant it the other way.
I don't mean to imply that you shouldn't be annoyed by this - certainly something is wrong on the pilot end if you're giving an instruction and it isn't being followed. It's not a complicated or unusual instruction either.
Ha! You won't offend me - hell, I once hung out with @eman1200 on a CLT overnight!
) when I'm rolling out and hear "rightatalphaseventaxiparkingmonitorgroundpointeight." I find the appropriate intersection, turn, vacate the runway, and I vaguely remember that tower had mumbled something about "ground point eight." Did he say "contact ground" or "monitor ground"? The safe default answer is "contact", so I do, and get a response that sounds like I just distracted somebody from his crossword puzzle. 
I have never found that to be the case.
Why would you be saying that much to yourself while turning off a runway? It’s just distraction from turning off the runway.
